The Bachelor, Episode 8: Hometown Dates

Don Kowalewski — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:03:49 +0000

When ABC gives us a The Bachelor like they did Monday, I can’t just write some random stuff and go to bed and hope I’ve covered it all. I need to meditate on it, consult with my The Bachelor Fan Club (Local Chapter 314), and try and make sense of what we saw. [...]

Alcatraz Revisited – “Paxton Petty”

EJ Feddes — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:00:38 +0000

Hey, we’re almost caught up with the Alcatraz recaps now! This week, we’ve got a little bit of insight into Hauser’s past, a mad bomber, and riddles hidden in song lyrics. And still, we know almost nothing about Rebecca Madsen. I will try to stop complaining about that, though. Let’s get right to it, but [...]

The Bachelor: Hometown Dates–Blondes vs. Brunettes

Stacey Donley — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:10:59 +0000

Sorry, my friends and readers, like Kasie at the end of this week’s episode I’m sure you were all wondering “what the fuck happened?” when I didn’t write an article last week. Unlike Ben with Kasie, I’ll at least pull through with an explanation…. the thought of spending my Valentines Day (I watched it a [...]

The Voice Blind Auditons Part 4

Myndi Weinraub — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 13:18:20 +0000

Another solid, enjoyable week of Blind Auditions down, one more left before the Battle Rounds start. Honestly, the talent is pretty good, but the best part of this round is still the judges’ banter and good natured bickering.

Team Christina:

Jonathas–His family came from Brazil and at 23, he’s already married with 2 kids, [...]

TV Shows on TV – Burning Schedule (February 20-26)

EJ Feddes — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:00:47 +0000

Hi all!

It’s Oscar Week! As I will note below, though, I am not that into it this year. I loved The Descendants and Moneyball was quite good, but I don’t really have any connection to any of the major nominees. Plus, I’m having a hard time really remembering the movies I saw last year. [...]

The Best TV Shows on TV – Whizingham Manor

EJ Feddes and Myndi Weinraub — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:00:46 +0000

Happy Friday! We’ve had a busy week here at spunkybean, and it’s time to wrap it up with a look at the Best TV Shows on TV. As we’re wont to do, we celebrate the end of the week by looking at the best television shows we watched all week and present them to you [...]

American Idol, Season 11: Hollywood Week Continues

Don Kowalewski — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:15:34 +0000

Welcome to our slightly delayed recap of American Idol. 4-hours was quite a bit to digest, and I’m not sure I still really understand all that happened. So lemme get this straight … Hollywood Week continued Wednesday with 185 kids divided into 42 groups and singing, hoping to make it into 4 rooms, and eventually [...]

Alcatraz Revisited – “Guy Hastings”

EJ Feddes — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 19:00:26 +0000

We’ve seen Alcatraz inmates come back to the present day, but what about the guards? That had to be addressed sooner or later, and, well, it turned out to be “sooner”. This is a big episode for Robert Forster’s Ray Archer. There are some surprises here, even if last week’s basement monster isn’t referenced at [...]

The Best Lines from Last Night’s Modern Family – “Aunt Mommy”

Staff — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:00:04 +0000

We’re not sure we can do justice to this week’s Modern Family by simply listing our favorite quotes – this episode had some great visual bits and hilarious line deliveries. Whether it was Phil, Claire, Cam, and Mitchell drinking and getting progressively more emotional, Cam’s Photoshopped baby pictures, or Manny riding around on his Rascal [...]

Alcatraz Revisited – “Cal Sweeney”

EJ Feddes — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 19:00:55 +0000

Are you ready for more Alcatraz? I’ve been looking forward to this one, mostly due to the ending. You’ll know it when we get there. Or “got there”, since this episode aired a couple of weeks ago and I’m still catching up. Stop judging me! It’s good when I start a recap by being defensive, [...]
