Walking distance from Ground Zero are billboards eerily reminiscent to the iconic ‘Falling Man’ who jumped from the twin towers on 9/11. The ad campaign, which is for the AMC series Mad Men, is being called insensitive at best and exploitative at worst. Deborah Burlingame’s father was the pilot of the hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon. “I find it impossible to believe that any advertiser could be so

The honeymoon is over for Amy and Rory. “This series will see the last days of the Ponds with Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill returning for their final, rollercoaster voyage with the Doctor,” states a BBC press release. “Series 7 will then see a dramatic turn of events when the Doctor meets a new friend.” At the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular concert, Executive Producer Steven Moffat revealed that the next

The Simpsons 500th episode is “The most meaningless milestone of all,” warns the show’s opening theme, which combines 23 seasons of couch gags to form the number 500. In “At Long Last Leave,” the Simpsons are banished from Springfield for causing too many shenanigans. You can almost hear Comic Book Guy yelling, “Simpsons did it!” (see: The Simpsons Movie) The exiled family moves off the grid to the Outlands, which

This year, Animation Domination featured some very special Valentine’s Day episodes, like after school special. On The Cleveland Show (“Dancing with the Stools”), Cleveland Jr. replaces his dad in a dance competition and develops feelings for his stepmother, Donna. Junior repeatedly kisses her and even proposes. Eventually she sets him straight and he professes, “You know Ms. Donna, you’re a real MILF… mother I’d like as a friend.” With their

Dollhouse‘s Amy Acker finally gets to play dress up in the fairy tale television series Grimm. In last week’s episode “Tarantella,” Acker stars as Lena, a man eating spider woman called a Spinnetod. She conceals her identity with a variety of costumes and wigs, including a very sexy blonde. Detective Nick Burkhardt manages to track her down when one of Lena’s victims bites off her finger. When he asks to

Rape is never funny, unless it’s all just a big misunderstanding. Rob Schneider’s new sitcom Rob pays homage to the anime School Rumble in which a naked guy, who’s in the wrong place at the wrong time, grabs a girl to stop her from screaming. Of course, that only makes things worse!

The Fringe mid-season finale had the show’s lowest ratings yet, dipping below 3 million viewers. And with Supernatural and Grimm both airing new episodes tomorrow, the mid-season premiere could be even lower. Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly admits the show isn’t profitable. “The hesitation in my voice is that it’s an expensive show. We lose a lot of money on the show,” said Reilly. “But with that rating on that

When Lee Standish (Ben Koldyke) and Angel Ortiz (Amaury Nolasco) are laid off in the “man-cession” they decide to dress for success. To get hired as pharmaceuticals sales reps that means cross-dressing to play nurse with doctor clients, who are apparently all male. Hilarity ensues. These Bosom Buddies have far less chemistry than their 80s counterparts. In part because Lee is married man who has little in common with his

In a very special holiday episode of Community, the gang gets into the Christmas spirit whether they like it or not. The Glee teacher recruits Jeff and his friends after an anonymous tip about copyright infringement shuts the glee club down. One by one they are seduced by song into joining, and I do mean seduced. Annie gives Jeff a lap dance while parodying Madonna’s cutesy version of “Santa Baby”

Fans of anime and manga series Ranma ½ have long wondered if Ranma, the gender bending protagonist who transforms into a woman when splashed with cold water, could ever become pregnant. To which creator Rumiko Takahashi answers, “I don’t think about that, and neither should you.” Well apparently one of the writers on the British TV series Misfits has been thinking about it. In season 3 episode 6, a boy

FX’s new series American Horror Story is like a erotic version of The Shining. Instead of a ghost bartender poisoning the father with alcohol, there’s a ghost maid seducing the father with her very tangible body. Ben is surprised that his wife hires Moria (Alex Breckenridge) given his past adultery but it has less to do with her open-mindedness than the fact that women can see Moira’s true form, that

On the season premiere of Community, Abed fell into a deep depression upon learning Cougar Town had been cancelled. Britta brought him out of his funk by introducing him to a long running British television series called Inspector Spacetime, an obvious parody of Doctor Who complete the time travel cliches. In the the opening scene, the supporting character asks where they are and the lead character replies “the question isn’t

This aptly named Toyota Prius commercial features a giant person made up of regular-sized people. Its jaw literally drops when it sees the new Prius Family, which like the People Person has unraveled into many. It’s so surreal that you think it has to be computer generated, but the commercial was designed to real as possible and uses dancers strapped together and suspended by wire. It’s the work of The

Last weekend, Fox Network got hit by Hurricane Flozell, a storm so big that its effects were felt by all three of Seth MacFarlane’s series (Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show). In “Seahorse Seashell Party” the Griffins get trapped inside… with no power! Fresh out of Star Wars stories to tell, the family fights among themselves but Brian decides to ride out the storm with some magic mushrooms.

Last season, Ned Flanders and Edna Krabappel took a summer break after he learned about her promiscuous past. The fate of Nedna was left up to a higher power – the fans. The Simpsons season opener “The Falcon and the D’ohman” revealed the couple is still together. In fact, they’re sleeping together… in the same bed! This raises even more questions like are they married now or is Ned a
