Jersey Shore TV Commentary: Exploring the fist pumping appeal of MTVs Jersey Shore

Jersey Shore is MTV’s most popular weekly series in almost ten years. The ratings are staggering and just keep going up each week. When the show first debuted, it was watched by a mere 1.2 million viewers. Last week’s episode was watched by 6.5 million viewers. Why is Jersey Shore the hottest reality show on TV? Is it just a good guilty pleasure, a trainwreck you can’t help but watch, or is there something deeper in play? I just enjoy the show and find it entertaining as Hell. As an Italian-American, I’m not offended by the trashy antics of the fist-pumping …

Power Rangers Convention – Morphicon

Power Rangers Convention – Morphicon

Pasadena, CA – Power Morphicon has come and gone, it was a mid-size event with a very good turnout. There were cosplayers, action figures, and Power Rangers from different generations signing autographs for the excited fans. I’m glad to say that Power Rangers is still kickin today, I remembered watching the shows afters school when it first came out. Of course, tons of Power Rangers have come and gone, but nothing stuck in people’s minds like Tommy, the Green Ranger. He was there and got the longest line for autographs. In case you didn’t know, he’s now a professional MMA …

The popular television series Smallville enters its tenth and final season in a few weeks when it finally returns to The CW every Friday at 8pm. Season nine was one of the series best seasons in years and the series looks spectacular on blu ray. The episodes are sharp and clear and the audio is excellent. Season nine saw the series change course as Clark Kent (played by the underrated Tom Welling) began wearing a prototype costume, start to develop feelings for Lois Lane, and generally take major steps towards becoming the hero he …

Recent Animes: Check ’em Out

Recent Animes: Check ’em Out

I have accumulated a list of recent Animes that you should look into. I think there’s something for everyone here: there’s rebellious rockers, non-conformist world saving, a high school drama/comedy, a college comedy with science, and a serious period drama with samurais. It’s easy to check these out since they’re up on Hulu’s site.

Beck, Mongolian Chop Squad

  • Rough, young, passionate rock drama. A bit rebellious and quite angsty. The story follows a high school kid, Koyuki, who feels a bit out of place. He meets another young man, Ryusuke, that opens his eyes to rock and punk music. Beck

Deadliest Warrior Approved For Third Season With New Navy SEAL Doing Q & A

Deadliest Warrior Approved For Third Season With New Navy SEAL Doing Q & A

deadliest1 Deadliest Warrior Approved For Third Season With New Navy SEAL Doing Q & A

Just got word from Spike.com that one of my favorite tv shows will be back for a third season.  Although, I’m always wrong on my predictions, I enjoy the show because it doesn’t take itself seriously.  The producers know that in the end, it’s for entertainment purposes. So we see the weapons being tested and kicking ass.  Then we have the epic battle at the end that fakes you out.

The third season of Deadliest Warrior will also bring a new member to the test crew, former navy SEAL Mack.  Mack has been on tv shows such as “Future Weapons”  and …

Top 10 Memorable TV Intros

Top 10 Memorable TV Intros

Married With Children tv 01 Top 10 Memorable TV Intros

Here are my top-10 TV Intros. Most are from the 80s when I was a kid. They are either from Saturday morning cartoons, or after school action shows, these are the intros that will stick with me forever!

10) C.O.P.S – The thing that stuck most about this show was the toys, they were the bigger version of GI Joes, same articulation, but bigger in size. The figs also came with cool cap-firing accessories. The toys were the reason I became a fan of the show!

9) Full House – This was the 80s version of today’s annoying Disney shows. I …

Music Review: Jersey Shore Soundtrack CD (MTV)

Music Review: Jersey Shore Soundtrack CD (MTV)

Jersey Shore Music Review: Jersey Shore Soundtrack CD (MTV)

The soundtrack to Jersey Shore is a bit of a mixed bag, but more often than not, it totally succeeds as a party CD, and that’s all it wants to be. Based on the popular MTV reality series, the Jersey Shore soundtrack is a continuous mix of 16 dance tracks featuring some extremely popular hip-hop/electronica artists. It’s the lesser-known (at least in the US) electronic stars who really shine.

Enrique Iglesias gets the party started with his cheese-whiz lead single “I LIke It”. Pitbull struggles to add edge to Enrique’s bland vocals, but the beat is sick and the song grows …

In 1991, Hasbro jumped on board the anti-drug movement with a line of figures from G.I. Joe called the Drug Elimination Force or D.E.F. Headman is the evil leader of the Headhunters a non-Cobra organization that has overrun “Every Town USA” with killer substances.

In the cartoon, Headman was portrayed as an absolute nut who was pretty clean looking compared to the namesake action figure.

This line of toys had begun the most detailed look at the action figure inside the bubble. The file card describes details down to the characters outfit and what accessories they may have.

It’s amazing …
