My last few posts about the BBC have probably given the impression that our beloved broadcasting corporation is a worthy institution that only produces high quality, intellectually stimulating, socially relevant programming. I want to apologise right now if you are labouring under such an illusion, because let me assure you, for every beautifully-rendered costume drama, [...]

Project Runway: “I Started Crying”, S04, E02 After the first episode, I read an awful lot of commentary about how boring this season was and how the viewer couldn’t root for any of the contestants. I have to take issue with that because a) it was the first freaking episode, so no one got more than [...]

Here at Pop Vultures, we haven’t really done recaps. It’s a huge project for a small group of people (most of whom are me and the voices inside my head), and there are already several sites that do a great job of recapping basically every show on television. We also haven’t done reality TV. I [...]

At last, season 4 of Project Runway is upon us. After months of waiting, we finally get to marvel at the range of outfits that can be created entirely from the items in your fridge. While the past three seasons have brought us plenty of sublime moments, it’s the ridiculous that has inspired this Friday [...]

Exhibit A for why I love this show.
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.

Monday’s top picks:
There’s something for everyone on Monday night. How I Met Your Mother still makes me laugh every week, which is something I never thought I’d say for a CBS comedy. CBS, 8:30
Chuck also still makes me laugh. So does Heroes, which follows it, though I’m pretty sure Chuck is the only one that’s intentionally funny. NBC, 8:00 and 9:00
For cheesy goodness, Gossip Girl’s second season has more than lived up to the promise of the first one. Chuck may be the greatest soap villain since Amanda Woodward first flexed her claws. CW, 8:00
