Recap: The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 17 [A Bro's Thoughts]
Road trips are usually never good in television shows. They’re one-off, they never push…
Recap: The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 16 [A Bro's Thoughts]
After a brief hiatus, the insanity that encompasses Mystic Falls has returned. While there was a brief cheer leading interlude within the episode, the title ‘Bring It On’ feels more towards the setup for the endgame of this season rather than a reference to arguably one of the greatest cheer leading movies ever.

Recap: The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 5 [A Bro's Thoughts]
Let’s get this out of the way before the real recap: Way to be generic, CW. Even though we knew Connor The Vampire Hunter (I see you, Buffy!) couldn’t make it that long into the season since, you know, there needed to be plot progression: WAY TO KILL THE BLACK GUY. (Okay. I just needed to get that out.)
11 Women On TV He’ll Be Drooling Over All Fall [Dude’s List]
Having given in to my studious nature, I’m happy to produce for you 11 women you should feel threatened by over the next few months. Don’t worry, not in a literal sense, just in a “my boyfriend’s totally thinking about how hot she looks” kind of sense.
Recap: The Vampire Diaries, Season 4, Episode 1 [A Bro's Thoughts]
I’m Theo, the CC Nerd/Bro/TV Junkie-In-Residence. I got hooked on The Vampire Diaries when I was sitting around cruising Netflix one day (and frankly, couldn’t get into Downton Abbey).

Can We Just Leave Carrie Alone Yet?
She’s an aspiration. You know you’ll never have her closet or her men or her friends who always seem to always have time to grab lunch with her despite their real jobs. She’s pure fiction, but I still love her. And now she’s going to be ruined.

Gossip Girl: Thanksgiving Is Depressing on the UES
Despite my previous attempt (and some damn good ideas, if I do say so myself), Gossip Girl producers did not hear my ‘let’s change Gossip Girl once and for all’ desperate call. I had hope for them, I really did. And now I’m left binge eating an entire bowl of popcorn and sitting in my family room more frustrated than I was when I sat down last week to get some GG and discovered there was no episode.
Your Fall 2010 TV Lineup
There are plenty of things I’ll miss about the summer. But the bad TV won’t be one of them. I don’t know about you ladies, but I don’t think I’d be able to survive another week of badly written summer dramas, or so-good-its-bad-but-its-really-really-bad reality TV. The television gods must have heard our prayers (and our curses when we saw Wipeout was on AGAIN) and have brought back all our favorite shows.
5 New Fall TV Shows You Won’t Want To Miss
Amidst your old favorites, there are always some new faces. It’s true for the first day of classes and it’s true for the Fall television schedule. With so many new faces this season, though, it’s not easy to decide which shows deserve that coveted slot on your DVR and which ones aren’t even worth a line on your TV guide.
Gossip Girl: Is Rufus Making Waffles In Someone Else’s Kitchen?
Before I get into the real meat of last night’s Gossip Girl episode, I have one thing to say: WHO TELLS A 19-YEAR-OLD GIRL THAT HER STEP-DAD IS CHEATING ON HER MOM WHO IS SICK WITH CANCER (or at least thinks she is) WHILE GRABBING HER COAT FROM THE COAT CHECK GUY???
Gossip Girl: The Doctor (van der Woodsen) Is In
Let’s just reflect. Lily gets cancer, doesn’t tell her husband, runs into the arms of her ex-husband and stays in a hotel with him “getting treatment” for months at a time, all the while lying to her waffle-making house-husband back home.
Gossip Girl: Only The Hired Help Have Happy Endings
Anyone else hoping that it wouldn’t be Lily opening the door when Serena arrived in Florida last night? I mean, everyone but Rufus knew she was there – couldn’t Pops van der Woodsen just open up so we could finally get to see what sort of magical creature he is? He’s gotta be something fantastic, right? Why else would these two women risk everything they’ve got for this guy?
Gossip Girl: Till Death (or a Hotel and Creepy Uncle) Do Us Part
I’d like to take this opportunity to give a big “welcome back!” to Gossip Girl’s former glory. Maybe it’s because last night’s episode was going up against the NCAA National Championship game, but those writers pulled out all the stops and it was good. No, it was really effing good. It had more ups and downs than the game and it even brought me to tears at one point.
Gossip Girl: There’s More To Life Than Waffles
I know the ‘Gossip Girl’ writers are just trying to stir the pot, but can we give Jenny one personality and stick with it, please? I’m getting winded just trying to keep up. It’s like The United States of Tara up in here, or something. If they want some drama, break up boring Serena and Nate. Yes, they do have the hottest, steamiest, sexiest sex scenes on the show…..
Gossip Girl: The Past Belongs To the Past
Everyone knows Gossip Girl is not real. Unlike “The Hills” and “The City,” who try to play themselves off as reality, Gossip Girl is simply a scripted indulgence with a little over-the-top drama peppered in…every 5 seconds. Still, though, sometimes I’d like to think that this show, my guiltiest of guilty pleasures, maintains some semblance of what life is really like on the UES of NYC.
