PILOT REVIEW: Same Name

SAME NAME CBS's new reality show Same Name did not start off on a good foot for me as it showed Kathy Griffin, David Hasselhoff, and Mike Tyson - three celebrities I do not care for. It is certainly an interesting concept (celebrities switch lives with people who have the same names) but it was almost an immediate turn off as celebrity David Hasselhoff bragged about his illustrious career. Luckily, the everyday man David Hasselhoff was much more likable. CBS has a good concept here with the fish-out-of-water played out in two different ways. Celebrity Hasselhoff was pretty annoying and clearly didn't know how to act in a regular life without bragging about something while Regular Hasselhoff fit into the celebrity lifestyle much better but was quite candid about how it didn't fit him. It continued to play out the same way - Celebrity Hasselhoff couldn't do anything ("I'm an actor. Lights go off in my house, I move") while Regular Hasselhoff r...

PILOT REVIEW: It's Worth What?

IT'S WORTH WHAT? Hosted by Cedric the Entertainer, Directed by Don Weiner It's Worth What? is a new summer game show on NBC that is sort of a hybrid between The Price is Right and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Contestants climb a ladder of dollar amounts like Millionaire but earn it by correctly winning pricing games as on The Price is Right . However, in this game they are bidding on artifacts and collectibles such as a Wayne Gretzky signed hockey stick, classic French tapestries, a dress worn by Cindy Brady, and actual rare live animals. I don't hold summer shows to the same standard that I hold in-season shows to. For me, the quality of summer shows boils down to - did it hold my interest? It's Worth What? did not succeed in doing so. Host Cedric the Entertainer seemed quite bored the whole time. He was basically just going through the motions the whole time even though he could have been quite entertaining. Not surprisingly, the contestants were over...

SEASON IN REVIEW: 2011 Emmy Award Nominations

Here are the major nominees for the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards! OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES Boardwalk Empire (HBO) Dexter (Showtime) Friday Night Lights (DirecTV/NBC) Game of Thrones (HBO) The Good Wife (CBS) Mad Men (AMC) Comments: What a thrill to see the long overdue Friday Night Lights finally score a best series nomination in its final season! Once again, broadcast networks take a backseat to cable in the drama division though probably the biggest surprise was the lack of attention towards The Walking Dead in this or any other major category. This award will probably come down to a battle between the new Boardwalk Empire and perennial favorite Mad Men .

PILOT REVIEW: Love in the Wild

LOVE IN THE WILD Hosted by Darren McMullen Directed by David Dryden Love in the Wild is a new summer dating show on NBC that seems to combine elements of several reality shows. There is pairing up like The Bachelor , competition like The Amazing Race , and an exotic location like Survivor . I don't have high hopes for summer reality shows like this but this one seemed to work for the most part and it kept my interest longer than most of the summer shows so far. The setting is in beautiful Costa Rica and some of the exterior shots were great. The host is likable enough and doesn't try too hard to be funny, he just does his job. The couples were an intriguing bunch and not over the top or too fakey. They actually seemed like real people which is not always the case in shows like this. It was easy to root for the likable front runners who won the first competition and were only one of two couples to stay together for the next task after making an immediate connecti...
