Regina King as Huey and Riley
I’ve been a fan of the Boondocks since it was a comic strip. I’d read it in the Chicago Sun-Times every morning on my commute on my way to school (as a junior and senior). When it became a show, you know I had to watch it. My thoughts on the show are a different [...]
So I Watched Lindsay Lohan Host Saturday Night Live
And she was terrible. Wait. Let me be nicer. She was…awf.. yeah no. She pretty much sucked as host of Saturday Night Live. I was kinda rooting for Lindsay Lohan too. I wanted her to be good so I won’t feel like saying “Aawwww Lindsay” every time I see a picture of her because I feel [...]
My 10 Thoughts on the SAG Awards
Last night was the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards and here are my 10 thoughts on it. * On the Red Carpet, Angelina Jolie was looking like she got dragged out the house. And her hair was all poofy like she forgot to flat-iron it. Or maybe when she left the house it was fine [...]
I Finally Started Watching “The Wire” and I’m Hooked
No, this post wasn’t written in 2003. I’m just tardy for the party as always. For a long time, folks have been telling me about the greatness that is The Wire. A slew of my favorite nerdy Black boys have even called it “the greatest TV show ever” unabashedly. Even the President of the United [...]
My Questions About the Golden Globe Awards: Recap
The Golden Globe Awards was the usual formal 3-hour thing but this year, it didn’t bore me to pieces. Maybe because the liquor was flowing and people were guzzling champagne. It certainly made for a spirited show (well as spirited as you can get on NBC primetime). So I’m here to ask questions about it. [...]
My Thoughts About Part 1 of the “Basketball Wives LA” Reunion
Last night, I watched the reunion special of “Basketball Wives LA and live-tweeted it. Here are my thoughts on what went down, and I’mo just do it per person present. * Whose idea was it to get John Salley to host this special? Was La La busy? Did Wendy Williams say no? Hell, get Saaphyri [...]
Even the Devil is Outraged About Penn State
So unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you’ve heard about the debacle going on at Penn State. To call it a debacle is a huge understatement actually. It’s a ridiculous state of affairs for a man to be a sexual predator and rape young kids while others look the other way. There’s probably [...]
Reed Between the Lines is Not Good
A couple of weeks ago, “Reed Between the Lines” premiered on BET, and I watched it and wrote this review of my initial reaction. I was rooting for it for real. I know I’m a professional hater at times but I REALLY wanted this show to be good. I’m a fan of Tracee Ellis Ross [...]
Mr. Clean is Scared of Puppies
There’s a new show on Animal Planet called “My Extreme Animal Phobia” and it sounds scary and awesome at the same time. They showed an episode where this big dude with face tattoos is scared of puppies. He basically looks like Mr. Clean meets Mike Tyson. All macho and everything. BUT puppies are his kryptonite [...]
So I Watched “Reed Between the Lines” Last Night
Last night, BET decided they wanted to be about that life and actually put on some quality programming. I was skeptical but they kinda pulled it off. First was the BET Hip Hop Awards, which I actually ended up missing most of because negrolepsy got me. I took an accidental extended blink (read: nap) and [...]
Pop Up Video is Back! And With More Shade. YES!
Ok if you were born after 1990, you might not remember this too much but for us older than that folks, we recall VH1′s “Pop Up Video.” I used to LOVE that show, and I mentioned it when I talked about old shows I miss. I love behind-the-scenes stuffs. I’m the kind who will sit [...]
10 Things That Happened at the 2011 VMAs
Many things happened during the 3-hour 2011 MTV VMAs. Many things. Very few of them was interesting. Most of the time I was watching it was spent yelling at the TV like “WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!?” I think I knew 49.2% of the people present, which let me know that I may be outgrowing MTV. [...]
