America's Next Top Model

By Bob Sassone The Hollywood Reporter has the list of the ten most-watched TV episodes of the past ten years. Now, you know that shows like American Idol (season six premiere), Survivor (first season finale), and Friends (series finale) would be on the list, but how about the series finale of Spin City? M...

By Michael Pascua S13E11) I love how Tyra Banks creates revisionist history on America's Next Top Model. Not only does she denounce Adrianne Curry's name, she now is ignoring the fact that Eva, who was 5' 6.5" won Cycle Three against "normal" sized models. That's an accomplishment.

By Michael Pascua This year's bomb is recycled from season two: a last minute thirteenth piece with the help of an eliminated contestant. This time, the muse model picks their final model. The first half of the show was all about watching Tim in awkward situations: struggling to use a freight elevator, bakin...

By Jane Boursaw On first glance, it appears to be a standalone episode not connected with the alternate universe, but my feeling is that every episode is somehow connected to the big picture. The fact that this series of murders was unsolved is a good clue, and the guy in the hospital bed with half of a head is...

By Michael Pascua S13E09) We're down to the final five on America's Next Top Model and one thing that Top Model is doing better this season than Project Runway is capitalizing on their location. Sure, Laura may look like a tomato during interviews, but at least Hawaii is being represented through their beac...

By Michael Pascua You know it's never good when a boring character gets a character. The mathematician Brittany caught the bitch bug and complained about how immature Erin was for the rest of the episode. Guess what happened at the end of the episode? I would rather have gotten the "fading away" edit that Tyra...

By Danny Gallagher But it's finally starting to pay off with this week's episode. Some of those dull plotlines have brought together what appear to be some much needed closure and we finally learn another piece of the Trinity Killer's picture and it's starting to look like a Normal Rockwell as opposed to a blo...

By Michael Pascua S13E07) I love watching episodes of America's Next Top Model where contestants think they are amazing and crash and burn by the end of the show. This week, the challenge for the would-be models was the dreaded CoverGirl commercial. Filed under: Other Reality Shows, OpEd, Episode Reviews

By Brad Trechak Despite my own history in musical theater, I haven't been watching Glee. Whedon's involvement in an episode would certainly pique my interest enough to catch it. Perhaps he could get together with his brother Jed and write the music for the episode, as well, turning it into a 42-minute oper...

By Michael Pascua The girls start the show with a whole ton of hating on two contestants. On America's Next Top Model: The Musical, Laura is portrayed as a backwards hick. On Survivor: Top Model, Nicole has been voted off for her monotone personality. This basically sets up the rest of the episode: the negative...

By Isabelle Carreau S03E05) "Ah the Wedding March.... here comes the awkward pause." - Gossip Girl As you can see from the picture above, Sonic Youth appeared on this very special episode of Gossip Girl, spoiled by the official episode title, and performed their 1986 single "Star Power."

By Michael Pascua Here's your chance to make it work. Variety has posted that Project Runway is becoming a video game for the Nintendo Wii made by Atari. I guess it was to no one's surprise, many TV shows become video games (CSI, Grey's Anatomy, Iron Chef America) all with varying degrees of success. Even Americ...

By Michael Pascua S13E05) Benny Ninja invaded America's Next Top Model this week trying to teach the girls how to emote with their bodies. As long as he doesn't try creating stupid words like "Smize" or "H2T," he's good in my book. All the girls felt really bland this episode, probably because Bianca is gone an...

By Joel Keller That's the best thing I can say about this episode, to be honest. This one was less funny than last week's episode, which was less funny than the pilot. At least last week's episode had some heartfelt emotion behind it, so the lack of laughs could be excused. But this episode didn't even have tha...

By Jane Boursaw We really haven't seen that much of Jenny Humphrey, aka Little J, on this season of Gossip Girl, but hopefully that will change. Actor Kevin Segers is set to join the Upper East Siders, and I'm sure he'll stir up plenty of trouble. In short, not only is Zegers cute as all get out, but he's talente...

By Isabelle Carreau In any case, this week's episode of Gossip Girl continued the Dan and Georgina hooking up storyline, put Chuck and Blair at odds, and put Carter and Serena at odds, while having Scott make some true and false revelations.Continue reading Gossip Girl: The Lost Boys

By Michael Pascua S13E01/S13E02) America's Next Top Model's casting special has always been a little ironic because all the contestants have been revealed on the official CW website. Nonetheless, the girls arrived at a hotel to be sorted. Instantly, we're given a snarky gay man who takes the girls' names. H...

By Michael Pascua Top Model will also be emphasizing the word "petite" for the height-challenged girls. There are points of bad overdubbing where the Jays voiced over the word "petite" because they didn't originally use it. If this season does well, it may become the catalyst for "America's Next Top Plus-S...

By Jason Hughes That's nestled in a huge bed of estrogen from where I'm sitting. No wonder a show like Reaper didn't make it if this is the new demographic The CW is seeking. The manliest shows on the network are Supernatural and Smallville, and both of those do well with the ladies, certainly better than Sock...

By Allison Waldman It will hopefully be a positive change of pace for La Houston. The last time Whitney was all over TV was when she "co-starred" on the Bravo reality series Being Bobby Brown. That slice of life, unscripted gem might have been the worst thing Houston ever did in her professional career.Continue...

By Bob Sassone How many reality shows featuring beautiful people going to parties and arguing do we need? How many does Bravo need? I really hate the direction that the cable channel has gone in the past several years. An endless supply of Real Housewives shows, NYC Prep, America's Next Top Model, The Fas...

By Michael Pascua If Tyra really wants real models, take a tip from other shows: drop the competing age to 16 like American Idol. Tyra herself started modeling at 15, why not give girls with real potential a shot? What do you think should be the next draw for ratings?

By Isabelle Carreau Since I've started blogging here on TV Squad, I've read many comments from international readers saying that they can't watch episodes or videos we embedded in our posts. It's irritating to follow a link to a video and see "This episode is currently only available to viewers living in the U...

By JJ Hawkins Filed under: OpEd, America's Next Top Model, Episode Reviews(S08E10) I'm a big fan of reality shows. I'm not so big a fan the recap that every reality show insists on airing mid-season, despite getting to see some behind the scenes footage.

By JJ Hawkins Filed under: Reality, OpEd, The CW, America's Next Top Model S08E05) I mentioned that I thought the title to this weeks episode was in reference to Renee. I know, it wasn't too much of a stretch considering she is the body in the house who could most benefit from an attitude adjustment.

By JJ Hawkins Filed under: Reality, OpEd, The CW, America's Next Top Model For starters, Tyra Banks is certifiably insane. In all honesty, I don't know a great deal of information about her but there are two things I know for sure. For one, she is incredibly attractive. That's all I have to say about that.
