Wednesday Tidbits: Spoilerific Edition
I hate spoilers. Hate ‘em. If I could go into every show completely ignorant of what was going to happen, I’d be a happy little blogger. This is a bit difficult when I have to spend a great deal of time trolling the web for TV news, but I still do what I can to [...]

Do the many unanswered questions and convoluted plots on Lost drive you to drink? Pop Vultures has your back, with an easy game you can play along with at home. However, we do not take any responsibility if you have to phone in sick the next day — this game is not for the faint [...]

The BBC has picked up Being Human for a full series. Although it won’t air until 2009, it’s good to know that a show about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost sharing a flat will get a second chance. If we’re really lucky, they’ll expand to include a witch and a troll and create [...]

Each week, when I watch Battlestar Galactica, I feel a wee bit nervous. Will this be the week the show suddenly stops being fabulous? Will it somehow take a wrong turn, make Baltar humble, or the president infallible, or force Starbuck to deal with her issues in therapy? And, each week, I can only lean [...]

28. April 2008 Posted by Marcia
I don’t tend to get emotionally invested in television commercials, at least ones that don’t involve puppies and kittens doing impossibly cute things. And yet, this ad for Discovery Channel gets me every time. It’s nothing more, or less, than a celebration of the entire world. Sure, the world’s got a few problems, but it’s [...]

This has been a crazy weekend here at Pop Vultures. Apparently, I underestimated people’s enthusiasm for nostalgia and puppets, as this week’s Sesame Street Friday 5 got the full-on Digg Effect, completely knocking the site out for several hours on Friday night. It all worked out in the end, though, as the New York Times [...]

Beverly Hills 90210, S01 E21: Home Again Last week: at the spring dance Kelly fought with Brenda and Steve and kissed Brandon; Andrea fought with Brandon but decided to come to the dance anyway; Steve got drunk and told Brandon that he’s adopted; Brenda and Dylan finally had sex; David won the dancing contest and got [...]

Last week, I said that one had to appear on The Simpsons in order to earn their place in pop culture history, but I might have been mistaken. It turns out that you can’t make it into anyone’s book of Who’s Who till you visit Sesame Street. Over the years, the show has hosted everyone [...]

I have a secret shame, and those who’ve read this blog for a while know that I rarely feel shame over my television choices. I mean, I watch America’s Next Top Model, so I have nary a leg to stand on when it comes to trashy TV. However, during the strike, I was so desperate [...]

The BBC has released the first trailer for Merlin, the 13-episode retelling of the famous fantasy saga. The series will also air on NBC this winter.
Kristen Chenoweth uses the power of song to explain exactly why crystal meth is a bad thing. Some NSFW language.
Heroes returns September 22, and it looks awfully shiny and pretty. I’m looking forward to giving it another chance, even with Sylar still in play. Stupid Sylar.

Wednesday’s top picks:
The premieres keep coming fast and furious. Tonight, Bones and Booth find a whole new continent on which to bicker in their incessant yet charming way when they travel to England to help solve a murder. Fox, 8:00America’s Next Top Model is also back, featuring its very first transgendered contestant. I’m sure this is Tyra’s bid for greater tolerance among the viewers, and in no way a shameless ratings ploy. CW, 8:00
Of course, Project Runway keeps plugging along, on a season that has produced little drama and, even worse, not a single spectacular outfit. And yet, I can’t stop watching. Mainly because I chose to recap the damn thing. Bravo, 9:00
