CELEBRITY APPRENTICE: AND THE WINNER IS…
Poor Celebrity Apprentice. After some fairly good ratings all season, and the unfortunate buzz created by Bret Michaels’ health issues, the stage was set for a strong finale episode… except the Donald Trump juggernaut had the misfortune to be up against the last ever Lost. Talk about bad timing!
I was a fan of Celebrity Apprentice for the first few weeks of this season – drawn in by the appeal of Sharon Osbourne and Cyndi Lauper going head to head. But the agonizingly drawn out boardroom scenes (see my Fast Forward piece), lack of stakes (do I really care who wins or loses?) and rampant and unimaginative produce placement finally proved too much for me.
I like Celebrity Apprentice – but bring it back as an hour a week, raise the stakes and book fewer, but better celebs, and I’ll be there.
In the meantime, for those of you who missed the show’s final moments – and the winner’s reveal – here it is…

It’s Keep Or Cancel time again – and this time around we’re talking about NBC, the once mighty network king that’s had a rough ride over the last few years. But things are looking up for the network with some interesting new projects slated for the Fall – I’m excited for Smash, the behind the…
Celebrity Apprentice: Meatloaf’s Epic Meltdown!
about 10 months ago - 2 comments
I must admit I don’t really watch the Celebrity Apprentice these days – and am unlikely to again following some of Donald Trump‘s recent Birther comments (President Trump, oh please!) But I have to hand it to the show – they certainly get some epic meltdowns and must see moments. In recent years we’ve had…

After a two week break, Glee is back tomorrow night – and it’s Regionals time once again! This week’s show promises to be pretty packed with LOTS going on!

Vh1: Will The New Monday Night Line-Up Rescue The Network?
about 11 months ago - 2 comments
Interesting times over at Vh1 these days… The former ‘music’ channel used to be a market leader with a clear brand identity and a stable of hit shows – remember Flavor Of Love, I Love New York, Rock Of Love and The Surreal Life. It was Celeb-Reality 24/7 and though the shows weren’t exactly ad-sales…

It’s time to get dancing again…! As you may have heard, last night ABC announced the cast for the upcoming Season 12 of Dancing With The Stars – and for once, I have to say I’m distinctly underwhelmed. I’ve talked about DTWS casting here on Remote Patrolled before and have often argued in the show’s…

about 11 months ago - 7 comments
Oh boy! So remember how I was quite excited for this year’s Oscars – and a fan of hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway? Well unfortunately the smile froze on my face about ten minutes into the ceremony when it became blatantly clear that the movie star duo just didn’t have the comedy chops or…

It’s Academy Award time again – and I for one am excited by this year’s line up of movies and the prospect of James Franco and Anne Hathaway hosting the awards (of course I reserve the right to change my mind AFTER the actual show!) But here’s a clip that’s certain to melt even the…

The only thing about the extended boardroom scenes is that it gives us more cat fighting, back stabbing, and throwing under the bus-isness . . . what was painful for me was watching the often pathetic attempts at creativity. Yes, they were under some incredible pressure with deadlines and such. I'll give them their due. But, criminy . . . as much as I like Brett, everything 'rocked your world'. Puleeze! I think Holly got shafted.
