As all you regular Ugly Betty Bites readers know, I’ve been absolutely loving Ugly Betty lately. And last night’s episode is getting just as much love from me—the Mode staff’s trip to the Bahamas was fabulous and fun! Lots of it left me looking just as stunned as Marc and ...

Stage fans, we find ourselves on a weekend where lots of the star-driven shows on the boards — ranging from Oleanna and After Miss Julie to A Steady Rain and Hamlet — are set to close. Single tear. But, never fear! A handful of great new shows have opened in the last week, too, so

John Fincher sure made some curious moves in his last days on Survivor: Samoa. He refused to pull rocks in a tiebreaker, refused to share pie with his tribemates, and refused all forms of logic by making an alliance with the most untrustworthy person in the game, Russell. Now, the 25-year-old ...

So, last night was the premiere of MTV’s delicious, guido-loving, fist-pumping docu-reality series Jersey Shore, a show that’s been ruffling more than a few feathers because it supposedly builds on negative stereotypes and bad behaviors of a subset of Italian-Americans that call ...

Anyone else feel like Lifetime doesn’t understand what a draw Cougar Town’s Josh Hopkins is? He costars in 12 Men of Christmas (premieres Saturday, 9 p.m. ET) with Kristin Chenoweth, not that the network makes a big deal about it in the art (see him in a little ornament like ...

It’s Friday afternoon, the weekend is upon us, and my dear mother, Judi Fratamico, has a message for you all. It concerns this past Sunday’s episode of Dexter. Here is what she has to say (spoiler alert if you haven’t seen that episode yet):

Blake Lively is hosting SNL tomorrow, and the two current promos lay out what could happen on the show: Silly, goofy Samberg-iness,or just awkward talk about How Darn Pretty the host is. Please go with option A:

This is officially network TV’s Year of the Hiatus. Yesterday’s announcement that ABC’s FlashForward won’t be returning until March 4 follows the network’s plan to give rookie V a long break. Fox earned itself some reader discontent announcing that Glee would take a post-Sectionals ...

There are 22 “audition” videos, too, associated with this British ad campaign. It’s no Sweet Millions ad, but what is?

In a Wall Street Journal column that probably got a B+ when it was first handed in as university coursework, James Franco asserts that what he’s been doing in his guest-starring role on General Hospital qualifies as performance art. With his character “Franco, just Franco,” ...

As was confirmed earlier this week, Susan Boyle is a big freakin’ deal. The Britain’s Got Talent sensation sold 701,000 copies of her debut album, I Dreamed a Dream, in its first week, easily blowing away Adam Lambert, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga.
But, but, but! Despite Boyle’s ...

Reason #3.2 billion that we love Tina Fey: When she does a 30 Rock storyline about Liz Lemon getting a horrible haircut (or three, as Liz said, because “the first two made me look crazy”) to prepare for her forthcoming Dealbreakers talk show, she does not skimp on the horrible. Those ...

Oh, good. We definitely need another TV show about werewolves. MTV’s proposed Teen Wolf remake series was not cutting it for me. Now, Fox is developing Howl, a saga about warring families of werewolves in a small Alaska town. It is presumably not about beatnik werewolves, the best minds of ...

I’m not going to pretend that I’m a religious viewer of Monk, but I’ve been sucked into enough marathons over the years to get a little annoyed any time a colleague (cough, Mr. Ausiello) suggests that Tony Shalhoub hasn’t deserved the Emmy love he’s received. ...
