Despite our love affair with Idol even after 13 seasons, there are a few things that bug us about the show. New captain Per Blankens has done a good job adjusting a lot of those things, but one that he didn’t is Group Day. Sure, the challenge seems to test contestant’s abilities to work with […]

Spoiler Alert! Solving the Spoiler and Social Media Issue
We need to talk about spoilers. Before we do, however, I feel like I need to warn you with a big, hearty SPOILER ALERT because if we’re going to talk about spoilers there’s a solid chance I might, well, spoil something for you. But we need to talk about spoilers and you’ve been warned.
American Idol XIII Ep. 5 and 6: Salt Lake City and Omaha Auditions
Well, we don’t know about you – but we can’t believe the auditions are already over. Maybe it’s because we have judges who are actually okay with letting the talent be the focus of each episode. We’ve loved hearing so many singers over the past few weeks and even though we know that not all […]

There’s burgers and then there’s “Wahlburgers”! A&E brings you a brand new reality show starring Mark, Donnie and older brother Paul as they look to expand their restaurant business out of Hingham, MA along with their mother Alma.

The Hudsucker Reviews The 2014 Grammy Awards
The 56th Annual Grammy Awards is music’s biggest event of the year – a day to celebrate the accomplishments of musicians, songwriters, producers, and others in the music industry for their valuable contributions. For 2014, the Grammys made a point of demonstrating how music unleashes us – through creative expression, through artistic transformation, and through […]
American Idol XIII Ep. 3 and 4: Detroit and Atlanta Auditions
We’re back for another week of auditions! In case you missed our previous article on the Boston, Austin and San Fran auditions, you can check it out here. Now, let’s get right down to business for this week. Once again, both of us will pick the contestants that stood out to us during the auditions […]
American Idol XIII Ep. 1 and 2: Boston, Austin and San Francisco Auditions
Before we crack the books on Season 13, we’d like to introduce ourselves (again) for this season. In case you didn’t tune in to Andrew’s Idol Series last season – here are his “qualifications” for reviewing Idol. First and foremost, he’s watched every single season. He’s been there through the highs and lows of this show, the […]
BOLO Issued for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”
May sound odd to say, but I’m all about cops. I love them! I have since I was a wee one. I was the kid who grew up watching the funny side of cops through films like Police Academy, The Naked Gun, and—not proud to mention it (because I can quote certain scenes)–Kindergarten Cop. I was […]
Glee Sings Farewell to “The Quarterback”
This week, Glee said farewell to Finn Hudson (played by the late Cory Monteith) in “The Quarterback”. In this tearful tribute, the past and current members of the New Directions Glee Club came together for a special memorial in honour and remembrance of their dearly departed friend, and they expressed their immense feelings the best […]
Glee Sings The Beatles
In 1964, The Beatles‘ first live television performance in the US on The Ed Sullivan Show sparked the explosion of Beatlemania, which had a monumental influence on how we listen to and interact with music. In our pop culture today, Glee uses songs to tell their stories of friendship, heartache, and what it’s like to […]
How Will ‘Breaking Bad’ End?
They are images that will be ingrained in modern television history: A Southwestern desert. RV. A frightened middle-aged man sporting glasses, a green collared shirt, no pants, and a gun pointing towards the camera. In the course of five years, the desert remained a prominent setting as the RV became obsolete. But most startling—yet thrilling—is […]
Switched at Birth: Redemption
As much constructive criticism as I may have given Switched at Birth in the episode before the finale, I must say that the finale made up for all that and more. This wrap-up of Season 2 was both dramatic, alluring, sentimental and still left you with cliff hangers for Season 3. It was remarkably beautiful.
SYTYCD10: Top 10 and 8 Performance Shows – The All-Stars Align
Well, I took a bit of a hiatus last week because I was moving from Montreal to Toronto and just didn’t have time to sit down and give you guys a thorough review of what I thought of the show, but let me tell you – I have a ton of thoughts about the last […]
