I am hopelessly addicted to 90210 this season, and I’m pretty sure it’s Trevor Donovan‘s fault. Or at least that of Teddy Montgomery, the character Donovan plays.

You know what’s worse than a book or a TV show being downright terrible? A book or a TV show being boring. I came to this conclusion a few weeks ago, when I was desperately trying to stay awake during the critically acclaimed HBO series Boardwalk Empire.

This show left a seriously bad taste in my mouth. Affable white… Read More Outsourced is outrageously unpalatable
Is it YOUNG AND RESTLESS’s intention to make me want to punch Billy in the face this week? Somehow, I’m thinkin’ no. We’re supposed to root for him as he worries about his pregnant bride, Victoria, and her tyrant of a father who’s scheming against them. The problem…? This is also the week that Billy’s nephew, Chance,… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
