  • Does American Idol Produce Real Stars?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    It’s like a grand experiment, this “American Idol”. It starts with a thesis: “There is an identifiable “X” factor that contributes to super-stardom”. Then, the experiment, in two phases: First, a small group of industry insiders winnow through a diverse group using their experience to discern “American Idol” possibilities, then over several weeks the audiences of “American Idol” choose who think would make a good star. This seems to have the making of solid science, allowing some margin for
  • Ten Reasons to Watch Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip  By : Groshan Fabiola
    1.The Premise
    Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is about the behind-the-scenes machinations of a long-running sketch comedy show in the vein of “Saturday Night Live”. As we know from the second episode, Studio 60 also exists in the same universe as Saturday Night Live; they mention it by name a number of times. The difference between the two shows are important. Studio 60 takes place in Los Angeles and is aired on Friday nights. The premise is perfect for an hour-long drama because ther

  • Who are the Deal or No Deal Models?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Deal or No Deal's massive success is not something anyone could have predicted. Let's be honest here, the actual Deal or No Deal game is pretty darn stupid. There is no skill involved, unless you count “not being a moron” as a skill. It's the equivalent of watching someone play roulette or blackjack; sure it's intriguing, but it's not intellectually stimulating. So, why is it so popular? One answer is that we are a nation of idiots and simple, mind-numbing shows are the ones best suited for the
  • Why is CBS's Smith so fun?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    The premise of Smith is completely ridiculous: A family man (Ray Liotta) is actually a master thief, who travels around the country pulling off grand heists. He has a team of specialists who assist him, and none are redeeming characters. So, we are supposed to root for a guy who deceives his wife and son, is a mercenary, and is a man who witnesses the death of a team member and walks away with no remorse? On paper, this all seems a tad unpleasant, doesn't it? Well, somehow, it's not. With Smith,

  • Watching TV Has Never Been More Fun  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Have you ever found yourself yelling at the TV after your team just made a boneheaded play and realize there is no one else to share your pain? Or, overcome with emotion when your favorite character died on the O.C., Lost, or 24 and realize there’s not another soul in the room that cares? Have you ever been so engrossed in a show that you would have given anything to be able to interact with the producers, writers, or even the actors? For the past 70 years, television has primarily been an anti-
  • The Good-Looking Cast of Grey's Anatomy  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Grey's Anatomy is currently the #1 television show in the universe. It's given time slot competitor CSI: a beat down, something that the Vegas-set, formulaic, turd producer has never experienced before. Grey's Anatomy is a very good show with an extremely attractive cast. EXTREMELY attractive. What makes Grey's good television is it's unique humor, it's ability to balance that huge cast and numerous storylines, and the strangely riveting medical subplots. But, we understand all of that.

  • Why is Dancing with the Stars Popular?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Dancing with the Stars on ABC has become a consistent Top 5 hit for the network. It's meteoric rise from summer afterthought to prime time juggernaut has been surprising, at least to some. Dancing with the Stars seems like a highly specific show for a highly specific niche audience. Who has ever thought to themselves, "You know what would be really cool?

  • All who are LOST are truly LOST  By : Groshan Fabiola
    All who wander may not be LOST, but all who are LOST are, well, losing it. Why do they do it to themselves, these LOST fans? I like good TV as much as the next guy (when it actually happens), yet even if I did like LOST it wouldn’t be with more than the casual interest I give shows like Greys Anatomy, or Prison Break. I look forward to my one house escape from reality and that’s it; why can’t LOST fans get enough?
  • The OC: Early Premiere Review and Season 4 Forecast  By : Groshan Fabiola
    The future of FOX's once mighty prime time soap opera, The OC, is murky, at best. The OC has gone through some rough creative stretches over the past two years, leading fans to question not only whether or not the OC will make it beyond its fourth season, but whether it even should. FOX has fueled the cancellation speculation by only ordering sixteen episodes (instead of the normal twenty four) this year. The reasons for this are unclear, but they likely have to do with both the actors willingne

  • Inside the mind of a reality TV contestant  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Why do we watch reality TV so much? My theory: we hate the contestants. Face it, having a valid reason to despise is just the rarest of experiences. There is nothing quite like the vibe guilt-free hatred. So a show like Big Brother, full of prepped, prim, and obnoxiously self-absorbed narcissists is a boon for the malcontent among us.
  • Interview with the Creators of The Class  By : Groshan Fabiola
    David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik are two of the great sitcom minds of our generation. David Crane was the mastermind behind sitcom giant "Friends" and now has birthed a new sitcom with long-time partner Jeffrey Klarik (of "Mad About You" fame) called The Class. The Class has started out a tad bumpy, creatively, but, given the premise, this is to be expected. When Crane started "Friends" it was hailed as revolutionary in that their were six main characters. None was more important than the other, a

  • Will “LOST” Ever Be Found?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    The rumors of its demise sadly over-calculated, LOST has settled into ratings numbers that secures it in the company of the best dramas on television. Had LOST managed to hold onto the 23million-plus it had in the beginning of its second series, I doubt ABC would be able to afford to produce it at this point. Any clue on what Matt Fox might demand for his LOST paycheck knowing the largest television audience in history was tuning in?
  • Grey's Anatomy and Music: Everybody Wins  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Grey's Anatomy is a great show for a number of reasons. One of my favorite, however, that few people talk about, is the music. Grey's Anatomy features some of the best up and coming talent that the music industry has to offer. After every episode, I go on line and check out what those awesome songs were on Grey's Anatomy that night and then I go to iTunes and I download them. Lot's of my favorite CD's have come from me first hearing about them on Grey's Anatomy.
  • Times in need of heroes  By : Groshan Fabiola
    NBC’s Heroes was dubbed a “surprise” success, but should it have been? In times like this, when we are assaulted with fears of sudden danger everywhere, aren’t Heroes exactly what we need? Many folks point to the cinematic qualities of the show, the urban-pasteurization of the super-hero motif, or the hyper-realism of Heroes as its reason for the success.
  • Grey's Anatomy: Face It, Dude, You Like the Show  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Grey's Anatomy has been (falsely) pegged as show primarily for the female population. This is patently ridiculous. There are female story lines to be sure, but there are also decidedly male-oriented story lines. This all is indicative of a larger issue regarding the pigeon-holing of television programs seemingly geared towards a certain demographic even when they really aren't. Grey's Anatomy is a perfect example of a TV show that has been unfairly characterized as a show only for women and relu
  • Survivor and the Staying Power of Reality TV  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Survivor is the grandfather of all reality series. This is undeniable. Survivor was the instigator in what can now be considered TV's reality era. What I don't understand is how Survivor doesn't receive its just due. It deserves far more critical credit than it has received. Why is this? Why is this gem of a TV show being taken for granted?
  • Is American Idol a Success, or a Failure?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Seems like an easy question to answer, at first. American Idol is without doubt one of the most popular television programs in history, achieving ratings that are intimidating to any genre of television, not just reality TV alone. Year after year, American Idol has reigned as the most watched show on television, so how could it be considered a failure? The answer is simple, the success of the show is inextricably tied to the success of its purpose: to create a rock star.
  • Grey's Anatomy and Quotes: The Peculiar Wisdom of Meredith Grey  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Grey's Anatomy is a well-written show. I think most people, even those who don't particularly enjoy the program, can agree on this. Grey's is solid because of this, because their characters speak with intelligence and cleverness. The interactions between characters seems real and genuine, not melodramatic. The weird thing is that, although Grey's isn't seemingly the most quotable show out there, the quotes kind of stick with you.

  • Top Ten American Idols Ever  By : Groshan Fabiola
    American Idol boasts the largest audience in the history of the United States. It seems like everyone I’ve ever met not only watches the show, but is passionate about it. This is the beauty of American Idol. People can grab on to a specific contestant and root for them as the season progresses. They are characters in a sense, but quite unlike ones on normal TV. You can’t predict what they will do, how they will sing on a given night, or when they’ll be going home. American Idol is wholly unpredi

    Ever since Janet Jackson’s infamous slip during her super bowl performance with Justin Timberlake, the word “Wardrobe Malfunction” has been a household word. Merely invoking the term in connection with any live sporting event or reality show will bring web servers rushing to search engines with fervent zeal. But could the phenomenon of “wardrobe malfunction” be in use right now as a targeted marketing ploy on a major network show? Buddytv sure thinks so.

    Grey’s Anatomy uses music better than any show I’ve ever seen on television. This is a fact. Perhaps show’s have had better music. This is not what I am arguing. Grey’s Anatomy’s deployment of their music is the most precise and calculating to ever hit the small screen.
  • Deal or No Deal and the Gambling American  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Deal or No Deal is a great show that, like the BuddyTV article states, taps into the American fascination with gambling. The contestants on Deal or No Deal are very diverse, as is America, and their reactions to specific situations are very different. However, if you look closer the way people play the game is more or less the same. People who go on the show are always looking for a big payday. Of course, right? Well, there really seems to be very, very little strategy ever coming from the peopl
  • Top Ten Jack Bauer Kills Ever  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Forget anything that has happened on film over the past decade, the number one action star in the world has been Jack Bauer. There really is no other competitor. Of course, Jack benefits from the fact that he gets hours and hours of television to solidify his position as a dominant action star. Kiefer Sutherland has crafted this larger than life hero into an unstoppable terrorist wrecking machine, all the while making him unique and human. He has moments of weakness, his heart gets in the way of
  • Grey’s Anatomy – The Most Entertaining Cast on Television?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    When I first got word via Buddytv that Grey’s Anatomy’s cast had somehow been bestowed the rank of the most entertaining cast on television, I was bit surprised. Particularly considering that they were up against YouTube. I mean Sarah Oh vs The Goddess Bunny and lonely girl? It’s a bit of a reach I must say.
  • One Tree Hill Spoiler and the College Conundrum  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Teen dramas, or any show that begins in high school, have always been a staple of prime time television. These shows acquire rabid and loyal fan bases and speak to the millions of teenagers in the country. However, the age old dilemma always ops up after a few seasons: How do you move the show on to high school? This question is always answered in different, yet wholly unsatisfying ways. The show will often transplant the entire cast to one college campus. Not only is the implausible, but silly.
  • Grey's Anatomy: Preston Burke/Isaiah Washington is a Jerk (But that's OK)  By : Groshan Fabiola
    Grey's Anatomy is a diverse, great show that millions of Americans watch with weekly anticipation. The recent gossip regarding the on set behavior of Isaiah Washington have, thus, been very unfortunate. Washington recently called one of his castmates a homosexual slur, and the backlash from this incident is extreme. The BuddyTV article we're linked to makes a very different and interesting argument. The media coverage of this event has been pretty one-sided: Washington should be canned, or shoul
  • American Idol, Season 6 Episode 2 Recap  By : Groshan Fabiola
    The American Idol Seattle auditions will absolutely go down as the worst in the reality show's six year history. The whole thing turned out to be an absolute car wreck from the outset, without really any great performers and a whole slew of terrible, awful, unbelievably bad singers. Seattle is actually known for its musical sensibilities and this is one reason that the episode was so disarming. Whether or not Seattle's true talent level was really on display is unknown/ What is known is that tho
  • Nintendo and Playstation Consoles  By : Groshan Fabiola
    The new WII Nintendo video game is the newest console released from a series of five . The WII is to be pronounced like a pronoun “we” and should stand for the idea that the game approaches interesting themes for children and the entire family. Nintendo Console is the successor of the Nintendo GameCube and stands for the seventh generation of level game consoles. The basic characteristic of the Consoles is the wireless controller in form of a WII remote meant to allow the user to point certain o

  • Who Wouldn't Jack Bauer Torture?  By : Groshan Fabiola
    24 has become a phenomenon among fans. This is no understatement. In all of my years of watching TV, I have never come across a more rabid and crazy fan base than those who watch 24. Jack Bauer has become this insane folk hero, who somehow remains a moral figure, even after he rips peoples necks off with his teeth. The Bauer cult is not only created in an ironic manner, but is also born out of legitimate enjoyment. No one could argue, really, that 24 is a bad show. There are those who aren’t fan
