Perfect Pitch: Amy & Courtney

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

What are the odds that some agent out there is trying to pitch a reality show with Amy Winehouse and Courtney Love, called Do Resuscitate? The closer would be if they would each be assigned a life coach, either Liza Minnelli or Stevie Nicks. Tell me you would not watch it. C’mon.

Helping Feed My Guilty Pleasures: Live From L.A.

Sunday, May 11th, 2008

How many of you are like me–and find yourself watching bad TV that you sit there, thinking the whole time: “There’s something better that I could be doing with my time.” When I watch these kinds of show, I chalk it up to being a guilty pleasure of mine.

So, when I discovered that Dave Campbell (formerly the guy behind Dave’s Long Box [a great blog about comics]) was writing for ABC.com via Live from L.A.–and in particular about Wife Swap–I was happy. Why? Well Dave has a unique pop culture view of the world like myself. So to have a blog where I can read about one of my current TV guilty pleasures, Wife Swap, well it’s a good thing.

Campbell is a witty writer with some good observations (about several ABC shows, not just Wife Swap). Be sure to check Campbell’s Live from L.A., you won’t be sorry.
