Given the legal troubles of cast member Amber Portwood, it's no surprise that the upcoming Season 4 of MTV's "Teen Mom" will be its final run. Joining Portwood for the last season of the show are her co-stars Maci Bookout, Farrah Abraham, and Catelynn Lowell.The final season will begin Tuesday, June 12 at 10 p.m. EST on MTV. ("Teen Mom 2" and "Teen Mom 3" will both continue on the network."We're incredibly thankful to these young women for bravely sharing their stories with our audience to help make an impact on teen pregnancy prevention. This season will be an intense rollercoaster as we say goodbye to the cast who started it all -- since the first season of '16 and Pregnant,' millions have tuned-in to see the difficulties, joys, and sorrows these young mothers have faced."For Amber, this season will highlight her emotional issues and some well-publicized events and conflict with Gary Shirley, culminating in her checking into rehab, where she worries that her toddler Leah will forget about her.Farrah will prepare to move to Florida -- but while she'd originally planned to leave her daughter Sophia with her parents, she'll change her mind and decide to bring Sophia with her, raising her on her own while trying to finish school and explore a new love interest.Maci continues to find co-parenting with her ex, Ryan Edwards, difficult, particularly as she struggles with his new girlfriend, Dalis.

The show found Abraham waitressing, modeling and taking classes at culinary school. "Being a good mother is a full-time job too," she laments.

Abraham meanwhile was planning for plastic surgery -- which she said was "for her daughter's future" as she's now a model and thinks breast implants will give her more jobs.

Lowell's and her child's father, Tyler Baltierra, said they are getting an apartment together after a  break-in scare at Lowell's mom's house.

Portwood and her the father of her child, Gary Shirley, enter therapy. Her suicide attempt and admission into rehab are not discussed, as they likely happened after cameras stopped rolling for this season.

In May, MTV announced plans to pick up a fourth season of Teen Mom. The show averaged 3.8 million viewers in its second season, making it the highest-rated cable show in the 12-34 demo last year behind Jersey Shore.This season of Teen Mom was too hot to handle! And when we say “hot,” we mean that it was a huge, hot mess.

In between the breakups, the makeups, the fashion crimes, and the actual crimes, we hardly knew whether to laugh, cry or hyperventilate into a bag.

Luckily the Teen Mom gang is back at it for part 2 of a reunion special with Dr. Drew!During last week’s reunion special, Amber left the stage in a fit of tears after Dr. Drew brought up the tragic death of her little sister.

This week, Dr. Drew’s interns managed to drag Amber back in the spotlight and the doc took the opportunity to bring up her domestic abuse charges. Again.

Way to end the segment on a high note, Drew. We’re pretty sure Amber is going to go home and bury her depression in a super-size Slurpee and a bucket of Cheetos.Catelynn and Tyler might be Teen Mom’s cutest couple, but they aren’t without their problems.

As we all know, these two had a huge blowout when Ty wanted to bust out his inner dancing queen and go clubbing, and then he broke Catelynn’s heart when he revealed that he thinks about other women. Sigh, guess he’s not the perfect man after all!

Luckily, Catelynn has learned to acccept Tyler checking out the junk in other ladies’ trunks, so their relationship is stronger than ever! Does anyone else think these two are twice as smart as Doctor Drew? It’s like they’re their own therapists!

Things go from good to adorable when Catelynn’s mom, April, comes on stage. Seriously, it’s like the Brady Bunch up in this joint. Everyone’s hugging, kissing and dropping the L-word — but something’s missing ....

Oh right, jail. Why, you ask? Because he couldn’t keep his hands off April and they got caught in the act. Thank goodness for conjugal visits!A few weeks ago, "Teen Mom" reality star Amber Portwood landed in the hospital after falling into a deep depression and threatening to commit suicide. This occurred after a phone conversation with Gary Shirley, the estranged father of her 2-year-old baby, Leah.

Shirley is, you may remember, infamously the man that she hit as MTV filmed the assault. Amber has since pled guilty to domestic violence charges and temporarily lost custody of Leah.

But on tonight's premiere, the reality star's biggest challenge is deciding between fatso Shirley, who has cheated on her, and Chris, a guy who loves her and the baby.

Chris has two other things going for him: He doesn't look like he's never met a Big Mac he didn't love, and he doesn't incite Amber to violence. Her misery here is confined to deciding between two boys.

Babies are hardly a factor in the show this season.

Farrah, another returning "Teen Mom," has got bigger problems than suicide. Her baby's father died, and her mother split her lip -- but mostly she wants a boob job. She says it will help her "modeling career." Clue: Real models don't have ginormous boobs.

Catelynn is still living with her mother, April, after giving up the baby she had with her mother's husband Butch's son, Tyler. Don't ask. Now mom has got to move, and Catelynn, who hasn't graduated from high school, wants to get an apartment with Tyler, who has just turned 18 himself.

Finally, there's Maci, who needs the child support of her ex, and is trying to make it while trying to find true love with boyfriend Kyle.

It's all very "Friday Night Lights" -- without the hair and makeup. Or the good scripts.

Unlike the riveting first two seasons, the show has degraded into just another scripted-sounding reality series about people who can no longer exist outside of the camera.

Ironically, more harm is probably been done by having the cameras on them 24/7 than if they'd had to adjust on their own. These kids and the boys in their life aren't developing relationships, they're learning how to keep creating more and more drama to keep being the darlings of TV and the tabloids -- at any cost.

Unfortunately, the cost is their children. The show has completely shifted away from the reality of raising a child -- hard enough for educated, middle-income families -- into a soap about looking for love in all the wrong places. And the wrong place to look is under the glare of cameras. The babies are mere window dressing in these ugly lives.

Online Previews Deadliest Catch 8x8 The Aftermath

The Kodiak was plagued with bad fishing like many other boats this season, but things turned for the better after two weeks. Free Download Video Deadliest Catch 29th May 2012 Episode On Discovery Channel Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .the Wizard crew calls in a Coast Guard helicopter. Online Watch Deadliest Catch Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV.For the rest of the fleet, it's a race to haul crab before a hurricane hits, and the last boat fishing waits too long to leave the grounds. Deadliest Catch is a documentary television series that follows the events aboard fishing boats in the Bering Sea during the Alaskan king crab and Opilio crab fishing seasons. Forty-foot waves, 700-pound crab pots, freezing temperatures and your mortality staring you in the face - it's all in a day's work for these modern day prospectors. Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs narrates.First off, I need to point out that episode 4 was called Breaking Point and episode 5 was called Wing and a Prayer. The use of the episode title, Breaking Point, could have had to do with two different boats. The major breaking point I think will come aboard the Cornelia Marie. Co-owners Josh and Jake Harris have lost complete faith in their replacement at Captain due to death of their father, Phil Harris. Captain Derrick has taken them blue crab fishing and hasn't found consistent fishing grounds all season. I think what's making the situation worse though is Captain Derrick's repeated insults toward their father. Captain Derrick told the brothers that their father did a huge disservice to them by not teaching them more and then tells Jake that he's not the only person with a dead father. Really shocking stuff! On the Seabrooke, Josh from Idaho was a fan of the show and decided to give crab fishing a try. He was hired as a green horn and after two hours of fishing he ran up to the cabin and told the Captain that he couldn't handle all the harassment he was receiving from the crew and by the end of episode 5 he completely quits. That is until their hydraulic crane broke, forcing the crew to move crab pots the "old-fashioned way." Good fishing continued and the spirit of the crew soared.

The rookie Captain of the Ramblin' Rose made a terribly costly mistake on the first off-load of the season. They've been fishing for the elusive blue crab and the Captain wisely (based on his estimates) decided to off-load the crab before dead loss occurred. Unfortunately, the Captain's estimates were way off and the boat only took in 13,000 lbs. of crab. That's 1/3 of what was expected.

There was a major verbal altercation on the Northwestern in episode 5. The seeds for it were planted in episode 4 when Captain Sig allowed young Jake Anderson to pick the fishing grounds for a string of 52 pots. The Captain thought enough of the spot to take the chance on it, but after retrieving the third pot of that string it was clear that Jake chose unwisely. Also, at the beginning of episode 5 the power went completely out on the Northwestern which sent the vessel on a collision course with the dock. Edgar Hansen was cool under fire and quickly restored power, but Captain Sig placed a lot of the blame on Jake for not finding the anchor and dropping it before hitting dock. Other more experienced fishermen were also trying to drop anchor, but the fact that Jake wants to run a boat puts a target on his back. Things turned sour after Edgar started picking on Jake and I think Jake must have been feeling guilty and the harassment just set him off. Jake clearly has rage issues and he said some things that are inexcusable. Captain Sig called him into the cabin and explained to him that he needs thicker skin if he ever wants to be a Captain.

Captain Keith of the Wizard expressed that he's never been in such a rut and he's had to move four times in three weeks. He's seen many good luck signs, but can't figure out why their fortunes haven't changed. Captain Keith sends his brother Monty through the entire boat to find out what continues to plague their luck. Engineer Lenny Lekanoff stumbles across the recently obtained guitar handle of Andy Hillstrand of the Time Bandit the night before in a bar altercation between Monty and Andy. The crew takes the guitar handle and throws it into the Bering Sea. On their next string of pots their luck DOES change! They hit big numbers and the crew starts to breathe easier.

The Time Bandit has hit bad fishing all crab season and Mike Fourtner makes a joke about how Captain Johnathan's lack of clear understanding of where good fishing grounds are this season seems like Fred Flintstone driving a car. The Captain's next decision makes the entire crew laugh and scratch their heads. In what is the biggest gamble in Mike Fourtner's 13 year career, Captain Johnathan takes the boat back to the Slime Banks where they started their season with very little crab. The Captain still thinks there are a ton of crabs to be caught near the scallop beds and it appears he's on to something as their first few pots, after a 14 hour soak, bring in promising numbers.

The end of episode 5 takes place aboard the Wizard, as deckhand Lynn Guitard is given the Captain's chair, so the rest of the crew can get much needed sleep. Someone should have told Lynn he wasn't supposed to join them in slumber, because he ends up falling asleep in busy waters and turns off the watch alarm. The watch alarm is the last defense for sleeping wheel watchers and Lynn is shown sleeping after the alarm is turned off. Tomorrow night's episode is called Exit Wounds and promises to be jam packed with crab fishing goodness!

Brooks lends his support to Vicki in the aftermath of her argument with Briana, Free Download Video The Real Housewives of Orange County 29th May 2012 Episode On Bravo Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .but the mother-daughter rift pushes Vicki over the edge.Online Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV . Tamra sits down with Slade to hash out their past, but will they forgive and forget? Heather decides to surprise Terry by finally taking his last name. Later, Gretchen and Slade seek couple's counseling while Alexis attempts to mend fences with Tamra – neither effort goes well.The two meet up with the owner of a chic little group personal training center and receive good news that she too can hit the ground running and make it happen for herself. Oh, and her budget is “doable” for her goals. Great news for Tamra, but she better be prepped to work hard.One person who’s already working hard and looking for a little break is Miss Vicki, who’s had enough stress to last a lifetime in the past few weeks. She’s interested in heading down to Costa Rica where her son Michael recently visited. Yeah, it’s got monkeys and such, but there’s also water sports and snorkeling fun to be had by her girls. So she gets all the girls on the horn to go. When she gets Gretchen’s voicemail message, which instructs callers to dial Slade if they really want to catch her, she’s a little miffed. Slade’s not invited because this is a girls’ shindig, darnit.

Heather shows up to Terry’s office, and he’s sweet when he says that his day is better thanks to her visit (another deserving “aw” moment, indeed), and she surprises him with a copy of her first signature as the legally recognized Heather Dubrow. Terry’s touched by the gesture, more so than she expected, and says that it has mattered a great deal to him but that he didn’t want to pressure her to change herself for him. “My God, Heather Dubrow finally,” he gushes. “I’m really, really happy.”Things get really intense when Gretchen admits to having given him money for child support payments in the past and that she couldn’t have a future with him if he weren’t able to change his financial position. The therapist decides to puts a new rule into place for the couple moving forward: They need to leave each other alone for four hours a day so that Slade can clean up the mess he’s left behind with his finances. “Ten to two,” he agrees, “deal.”

Closing out the episode, Alexis invites Tamra to grab some lunch before she gets back to her gym project. Since all the women are planning to go to Costa Rica together, Alexis thinks it’d be wise for her and Tamra to try and deal with some of their issues with one another. Little does she know, she’s opened a major can of worms with Tamra.Heather meets up with a friend to talk careers - she knows her time in television or movies has an expiration date and maybe it's just time to let it go. One big step she's considering is finally changing her last name to Terry's, Dubrow, after twelve years of marriage. She decides to go through with it and heads to the DMV where is absolutely hilarious, but nobody has a sense of humor there. I mean, are you surprised? When Terry sees what his wife has done, he gets a little emotional. For all the craziness in Orange County, they are fairly normal and have a pretty great relationship.

Gretchen confronts Slade about his parenting and financial issues, suggesting the two go to counseling. He reluctantly agrees and during the session, we really see why so many people don't like him. He actually has the nerve to say that he's been trying to handle it but finds Gretchen and her business to be a distraction. Really??? I would've walked out right there but she maintains her composure.

Checking in on the other housewives... Alexis does a photo shoot for the cover of Beauty and Entertainment magazine while Tamra does some research into starting her own gym. She and Eddie travel to meet up with some people who have succeeded in starting their own fitness centers and she realizes that she can do it on the budget that she has.

Vicki decides that all of the women need to get together (or Bravo did) so she invites everyone on a trip to Costa Rica, which Alexis thinks is in Mexico. Before the plane tickets are purchased, Alexis with meets up with Tamra for drinks in the hopes of getting their friendship back on track - or at the very least, finding the ability to be civil to one another. Yeah, it's not happening. Tamra tells Alexis that she doesn't like her, that she's shallow, and that even Terry called her fake. Oh man, did she really have to drag him into it? The fighting continues next week in Costa Rica, when everyone decides to gang up on Alexis.

Online Watch The Apprentice (UK) Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV . where many financial deals are made on a daily basis. The teams will be representing an online daily deals website that offers Londoners exclusive deals in hotel stays, beauty treatments, posh dinners and premium products. Two of the candidates from the loosing team are fired by Lord Sugar at the end of the show.This was a one-off special shown on BBC Two on 2 June 2007.[70] The programme featured interviews with the final five candidates from this series. Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford also gave their opinions on the final five, along with some of the previously fired candidates. The programme spoke about the candidates' private lives, revealing that Kristina Grimes was sent to a convent at age 17 due to her pregnancy, Tre Azam once fell asleep whilst driving and nearly died, Simon Ambrose was bullied as a child and has an IQ of 174, Katie Hopkins ran the New York Marathon despite knowing that she was pregnant and that Lohit Kalburgi is a homosexual Friends of the candidates and members of their families, including parents, children and partners, aired their views.This one-off special was screened on BBC Two on 10 June 2007, three days before the revelation of the winner of this series of The Apprentice. In the programme Sir Alan Sugar looked back over the series so far, discussed the merits and demerits of the candidates, and explained in more detail why he fired each candidate when he did.Sugar's assistants Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford also spoke about the former contestants. At the end of the programme, Sugar reviewed the performances of the two finalists, Kristina Grimes and Simon Ambrose, and said that deciding who to hire would be difficult. Despite voluntarily leaving rather than being "fired", Katie Hopkins also featured on the programme and her time on The Apprentice was discussed.Ghazal bringing back Katie in order to assist her in getting Naomi fired was the second and last occasion to date in the UK show where a candidate has brought back another candidate into the boardroom as an "advocate" (a tactic more commonly used in the US version of the show, thought doing so is frowned upon in both versions). However, this move backfired as Katie did not advocate for Ghazal, and instead focused on defending her poor record in the competition, having lost a record-breaking five tasks in a row. The previous occasion that this tactic was used was in Series 1, when Lindsay Bogaard brought Miriam Staley into the boardroom despite delivering an excellent pitch in an attempt to force Sir Alan to fire Adele Lock.
Sir Alan stated that Ghazal was being fired not because of her age but for being "all talk and no do." He added that the previous week he thought that she didn't yet have enough experience, but decided on the basis of this task that she was simply a poor overall candidate.For this series, there were sixteen candidates instead of fourteen, as seen in the previous two series. The candidates were initially separated into two teams by gender. The women chose the name Stealth for their team, while the men named their team Eclipse. Three candidates - Ifti, Gerri and Sophie - never had the chance to be project manager.his series was described as "the most controversial" out of all three series that had been made at the time.[50]

Two candidates, Katie Hopkins and Paul Callaghan, started a romance while competing on the programme. This received much coverage from the tabloid press. This was one of the reasons that Callaghan was fired from the competition, as other candidates complained about the situation, saying that the relationship affected the performance of the team during the tasks.

Candidate Gerri Blackwood claimed that the allocation of showers in the house where the candidates stay appeared to have been manipulated in such a way as to force the female contestants to shower together. She told the Daily Star "One of the bathrooms was used by the film crew, but two of the others were closed off with 'Out of Order' signs on them. That left two bathrooms to share between 16 people. I am not sure whether it was deliberate or not but you can imagine they wanted us to share showers".[55][dead link] In her interview, she also claimed that Nick Hewer and Margaret Mountford fed the candidates misleading information so that they would fail the tasks, and that Sir Alan Sugar's boardroom diatribes were re-filmed to make them look better.[56][dead link] Fellow candidate Tre Azam also criticised the editing of the programme, claiming he was worried that his portrayal "might have been dumbed down because I made some of the other characters look too weak".

The mental health charity MIND has criticised the programme for enrolling Jadine Johnson, a candidate who was sectioned under the Mental Health Act in 2003, expressing fears that a vulnerable person was being used for entertainment. In response, a spokesperson from the BBC said "As a part of the selection process, all candidates are seen by an independent qualified psychologist to assess their suitability for participating in the programme".

After Paul Callaghan was fired in the sixth episode, wholesale chain Makro and manufacturer Wyke Farms criticised the programme due to the negative comments made about its cheese. In the episode, Sir Alan Sugar verbally blasted Paul for taking the inexpensive products to France to sell.[22] Makro and Wyke Farms claimed that the cheese is very popular in France. Richard Clothier, the Managing Director of Wyke Farms, said "Alan Sugar, you know a lot about electronics, but not that much about cheese, and for that reason, you're fired!".

Several organisations, including the Trades Union Congress, the Liberal Democrats, The Equal Opportunities Commission and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, accused Alan Sugar of sexism and breaching the 1976 Sex Discrimination act after only questioning contestants Katie Hopkins and Kristina Grimes about their child-care arrangements, despite the fact that other male contestants were also parents. Sugar's questioning, during the eleventh episode, eventually made Hopkins resign from the programme and decline Sugar's initial offer of a chance to compete in the final episode.Although, Sugar defended his actions and told Fiona Phillips of GMTV that he was aware of all rules regarding sexual discrimination within the workplace. The incident was well documented within the media.

Contestant Natalie Wood complained about a situation with Adrian Chiles, host of The Apprentice spin-off programme, The Apprentice: You're Fired!. Chiles, who has a distinctive Birmingham accent, asked Wood on the spin-off programme whether her Essex accent had been a hindrance. "But how can you pick up on my accent when Sir Alan is sitting across the table," commented Wood. "How can he say that? Essex is fantastic and I'm proud to come from Essex. A lot of people from Essex are very successful. I find it hard to swallow."

Jules plans a spring Thanksgiving after realizing the gang didn't celebrate the holiday together; Free Download Video Cougar Town 29th May 2012 Episode On ABC Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .Online Watch Cougar Town Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV .  Ellie's parenting skills are called into question when Stan gets a hold of Big Carl; Grayson helps Andy prepare for an annual pizza toss. Grayson moves in with Jules after the hurricane damages his house, but the sudden togetherness makes them wonder if they’re going to make the same mistakes in their upcoming marriage that they made in their past relationships. Meanwhile, Ellie and Laurie bicker about which of them is the sexiest, dragging Travis into the argument, and Jules and Bobby dare each other to a “white shirt challenge” – to see who can wear the same while shirt longer without spilling something on it — on “Cougar Town,” TUESDAY, MAY 15 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television NetworkIt’ll All Work Out – When Jules realizes that the cul-de-sac crew didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving together, she decides to celebrate the holiday, even though it’s spring. But the family spirit is shattered, in more ways than one, when Little Stan gets his hands on Big Carl and Jules questions Ellie’s parenting skills. Meanwhile, Travis struggles to write Jules’ wedding vows and asks Bobby and Laurie for help, and Grayson helps a nervous Andy practice for the annual pizza toss for candidates running for mayor, on “Cougar Town,” TUESDAY, MAY 15 (8:30-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.It’s hard to know for sure if last night’s double dose of Cougar Town felt extra-sweet just because the episodes themselves were written that way, or because we now know that the Cul-de-Sac Crew is safe and sound, having found a new home for next season’s episodes on TBS. It’s probably a bit of both. The second episode’s opening scene — which featured a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that the group “missed” Thanksgiving this year and weren’t sure whether or not they were sticking around — certainly felt like a knowing nod of relief shared between the writers, the cast, and the audience. I know the normal saying is “sigh of relief,” but I don’t like that version as much, so I’m changing it.

The central arcs of these episodes brought us, and the couple themselves, closer to the wedding of Jules and Grayson, who moved in together and (sort of) began work on writing their vows. Their wedding is just four TV months off, and though they have proved their effectiveness as teammates, Jules and Grayson have work to do to prove (mostly to themselves, but also to us) that they can be partners. Yes, it took a weirdly and improbably selective hurricane destroying Grayson’s house to get him to move in with Jules. Yes, the question of how best to raise Tampa is more complex than anything solved last night. But considering the number of diversions one is likely to encounter in Gulfhaven on any given day, and the pressure to keep one’s white shirt clean while doing so, Jules and Grayson are making progress at a pretty reasonable rate.

When Jules takes Grayson to her therapist to discuss the stress of his moving in, she warns the couple that, despite having gone through marriage once already, they aren’t likely to find round No. 2 any easier. She tells them they’re likely to project their exes’ flaws onto each other — a warning they laugh off and promptly fulfill. Grayson overreacts to Jules’s white lie about being an environmentalist (she really just forgot to flush) because his ex-wife hid her true personality until after the wedding day. Jules lets Grayson’s tardiness to dinner convince her that he’ll start withdrawing from the relationship, just like Bobby did. Like these characters so often do, they try to avoid talking through their problems at first; this time, though, they take introspective laps around the house to both settle down and think about what they really want to say to each other. It’s a very adult thing to do, even for people who are already in their mid-forties, and especially for Jules and Grayson.

It is the simplistic, Winnie the Pooh–like wisdom of Bobby, though, that ultimately makes Jules realize that she’s doing just what the therapist said she would. After she fights with Grayson about his lateness, she asks Bobby what about her drove him away. Her fears about getting into this situation all over again (and about what would happen to her if it fails all over again) are touchingly honest. The characters on this show don’t often let on that they have feelings, which can make the moments in which they do all the more powerful. Bobby tells J-Bird that their breakup was on him, and that she shouldn’t worry about Grayson being like him, or her being like Vivian. So Jules stops treating Grayson like Bobby — she lifts the couch wine ban she’d inflicted on them both, only to have him spill a glass all over her white blouse. Of course, massive wine spills were always, presumably, going to be a part of that marriage.

The subplots of both episodes reflected this theme of overcoming insecurities, too, which is another reason why ending the night on a fake Thanksgiving dinner felt so rightfully triumphant. First Laurie and Ellie try to out-sexy one another, hilariously (and so, so inappropriately) enlisting the help of Travis. According to the ladies’ shared hookup Vinny, Ellie is sexier, but it’s a short-lived sense of victory. Ellie overhears Andy tell Bobby that he wishes Ellie approached their love life as spontaneously as she used to, and she’s so crushed that she hugs (HUGS!) Travis. Laurie and Ellie feel down, so much so that they can’t even rib each other, but Travis encourages them (again, so hilariously, so inappropriately) to feel better about something in themselves we never even knew they doubted.

And in the second episode, when Jules lets her anger over a broken Big Carl (may he rest in peace) get to her, and she tells Ellie that she’s a bad mother to Stan, Ellie voices fears about her child that we never knew she had. She asked Jules if Stan could be her ring bearer, but given the recent escalation in his bad behavior (he’s gotten into graffiti), she knows she’s asking a lot. Ellie doesn’t want to admit that her kid is kind of a troublemaker, because it’s hard to admit that there are things she can’t control. So Jules offers to help her by disciplining Stan, because she will always be there for Ellie, even when Ellie’s kid kills one of her best friends (Big Carl). The moral support is there among the guys, too — when Andy has to toss a pizza to make a good showing in the mayoral election, Grayson is there for him. Stan carries out a “Fakesgiving” Turkey without ruining anything, because Jules helped. Andy tosses a CGI pizza crust beautifully, because Grayson helped. Yes, some of the personal growth moments in the cul-de-sac seem sillier than others. But these are people who will be there for each other through them all, the type of people who understand the meaningfulness of a loss like Big Carl, and a new beginning like Big Lou.

Online Previews Workaholics 3x1 The Business Trip

The guys have 6 hours to get Blake a passport, or they'll miss their Thanksgiving trip to Hedonism II. Free Download Video Workaholics 29th May 2012 Episode On Comedy Central Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .Online Watch Workaholics Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV . The boys are back in this weeks episode of Workaholics on Comedy Central. While hanging out after work in a public park, the three decide to take a large statue of a dragon. I say take because they arrive at the conclusion that since their taxes paid for the park, they paid for the dragon (and therefore rightly own it). After bringing the dragon home it gets stolen by a group of high school posers. In order to get it back the guys dress as posers and go undercover at their local high school.I honestly found myself laughing out loud throughout the entire episode. When the three arrive at the high school they decide to change clothes. One of the characters wears a pair of JNCOs and a Blink-182 shirt, another acts like a young thug, and the other a stereotypical pothead. Their undercover identities alone are hilarious and even after they get busted the hilarity ensues.It looks like season 2 is off to a great start. The first season was so good that I was a little skeptical about the return. To my surprise it looks like Workaholics will be going strong for awhile. If you haven't seen Workaholics and fall into that 18-35 demographic, I suggest you check out next weeks episode.I read in an interview on Lithium Magazine that they were being compared to "The Trailer Park Boys." First off, that's really cool since that show is filmed a few hours from here. That show is the best and until I read that interview, I never even thought of the similarities, but I can see it now. Three guys acting as a bit exaggerated version of themselves, but all the while having a blast and making people laugh. I love it.Anyway, back to the review. This season came back with a bang and kept it's pace throughout the season. I can't ever say I saw a boring Workaholics episode. And when your watching a comedy series, it's not always spot on, every show has it's ups and downs, but so far the Workaholics hasn't been anywhere but up in my opinion.The "befriending a predator" episode was gold. I almost spilt my spleen (or something else just as important) laughing at it.“You love ten-year-old boys, right?” “Ten to twelve.” I know, I know, but come onn.It was hilarious. It's one of my favorite episodes and I still go back and re-watch it often.“Workaholics” star Anders Holm got married to his high school sweetheart, Emma Nesper, earlier this month, not long after he turned 30.

“I’m wrapping it all up, grown-man status,” the Evanston native said during a phone interview a few weeks before the wedding. But fans should not expect Ders, the character Holm plays in the raunchy Comedy Central series, to grow up when the second season begins at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.

In "Heist School," Ders, Adam (Adam Devine) and Blake (Blake Anderson) go back to high school after something is stolen from their lawn. "We ... kind of sleuth our way into a high school and find out who took this specific cold-blooded object off of our lawn and get it back, or crack some skulls in the process."

Nope, it doesn't sound like the slacker stoners who live, play and avoid work together are growing up at all.

“If it was up to my fiancée, I’m sure he’d grow up a little bit, but then the checks would stop,” Holm said. “So I’ve got to remain a buffoon or else I don’t think the show will go much longer.”

You can call his character a buffoon, but don’t call the show a “gross-out comedy.” Created by Holm, Devine, Anderson and Kyle Newacheck, the fourth member of their troupe Mail Order Comedy, as a web series. “Workaholics” caught the attention of Comedy Central, who brought it to TV in April for a successful first season.

Holm prefers to call the series “game-changing,” and gave me a deadpan ribbing for my using the term “gross-out.”Season 2 you can expect more full-frontal; just a lot more homo eroticism. What else? Oh, there’s kind of like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles thing that’s gonna go down. … Oh, Karl has a wedding, so that’s going to be the finale of the season. …

We give up drinking for a week and all hell breaks loose, and we’re like at each other’s throats, and like get into some physical altercations. And then we have to meet with the HR guy and go through a pretty rigorous alcoholics substance abuse program type thing. The guy who plays our HR rep is Mitch Hurwitz of “Arrested Development” fame, the creator of “Arrested Development.” He says he’s at the end of the show and we were looking for somebody to play this part and he reached out to us, and we were like. “Uh yeah, we’d love to have you.”

He’s like perhaps the funniest dude on Planet Earth. Just like nonstop smarter-than-you jokes. You’re just like, “OK, wow, so you’re playing at that level and I’m down here. It’s nice down here but God, how is it up there? It must be nice.”

That’s pretty cool that people are coming to you guys.
Yeah, it was amazing. What I keep forgetting is that the show airs, you know? You remember when you go to a bar and there’s like 30 20-year-old dudes who are like, “I’m going to buy you a shot!” And you’re like, “I just had seven with all those dudes, but that’s cool.” But then you forget that your peers, for lack of a better word, watch it and judge it. So you get some cool people who write comedy that are like, “Hey, I really like the show.” Or someone will call you and go just talked with so and so and they’re so into the show. It’s like, “Oh, shouldn’t they be out doing something way cooler than watching our show?”

It’s fun to hear people who you look up to like what you’re doing. Because I don’t think of it as anything except for a job, you know? I bury myself in it so I’m like, “Oh, it’s work.” … I forget people see it because I’m so absorbed by it. It’s just like a cool bonus. So I can’t imagine being like a janitor and someone being, “Oh my God, like I went to that school that you clean. That was pretty clean.” And you’re like, “Oh thanks, I appreciate that.”

Have you found it’s a lot different than when you guys were existing only on the Web, either your approach to the work or the reaction to the work?
No. Obviously our audience has, you know, probably doubled. [Laughs.] Our audience has expanded by like 400 times. And there’s Twitter now, which is like instant verification of how bad or how good your material is, which is always good…

I would say that the reactions or the way we approach the work is pretty much the same. We do what we think is funny. Now we have somebody giving us notes, being the network, but they’re usually good notes and they don’t have many. It’s not one of those horror stories that you always hear about where there’s some like jaded TV creator, or like TV show creator that’s always bitching about the networks and how horrible they are and they’re just killing the show. It’s not that really at all.

Only in Season 1, we had an episode where the guys wanted to do a get-rich-quick kind of scheme. ... Blake’s character is like, “What if we came up with a flame-retardant American flag?” You can never burn an American flag. And we’re like, “Oh, that’s really cool.” So throughout the episode we’re just burning American flags because we’re trying [to test it]. It’s like research and development. And we burned like 70 flags. Comedy Central wasn’t too keen on that.

Oh my God. It’s not that gross to us. I think that’s the thing, is that it’s like when you’re grandpa sees your iPad, he’s like, “I don’t understand this.” And it’s like, “Well, you’re just behind the times.” I think we are ahead of the times, so it may come across as gross, but in 10 years it’s not going to be that gross. It’s going to seem pretty dated, I think. What’s not to like?
[Totally deadpan] No, of course. You know how everyone says that every story has been done, it’s just they’re getting done different ways? Well, as TV and music and all that stuff, as like restrictions are lifted and you can finally say “bitch,” or do this story that you couldn’t have done 10 years ago, I think it’s just kind of like the flood gates have been opened.

And like you watch a show like “Curb [Your Enthusiasm]” where he gets pubic hair in his throat, you’re like is that gross? You’re like, “Well, it’s pretty [bleeping] gross.” But it just hasn’t been done before. I’m sure it would have been done 10 years ago if somebody let them.

I think we’re just doing stuff that would have been done 10 years ago. It’s just stuff that guys joke about all the time, but you can finally see it on TV now, you know?

The show has taken viewers to Germany, Argentina, Australia, Papua New Guinea, India, Japan, Suriname, Brazil, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Africa, The Republic of Congo, and the American states of Alaska, Florida, Oklahoma and Texas.In the first season, Wade's weekly quest had him in search of Piranha, Goonch catfish (during his investigation of the Kali River goonch attacks) , Alligator gar, Wels catfish, Bull shark, Piraiba/Candiru, and Arapaima, all supposedly deadly creatures shrouded with mystery. The show also focuses on explaining the creature's feeding habits.Rebroadcasts of the episodes with captions showing behind the scenes commentary from the host about the particular episode can also be seen on both Animal Planet and Discovery Channel, these episodes going by the title "River Monsters: Unhooked".The second season of River Monsters began airing on 25 April 2010, although the first episode ("Demon Fish") appeared on the Discovery Channel on 28 March 2010. The new season will consist of 7 episodes and will take viewers to the Congo river and other new locations. In the episode, "Death Ray", Wade catches a pregnant female Giant freshwater stingray which gives birth while it was being examined by Wade & a team of biologists. This season features the sturgeon, Wade's biggest catch yet.

Jeremy arrives at the Kali River in India, where a number of mysterious drownings have occurred. He investigates the possibilities of the culprit being whirlpools or crocodiles, but determines neither fit. Wade eventually finds out of a little-known catfish species that can grow to a large size: the Goonch, or Giant Devil Catfish. He reasons that, since funeral pyres are done at the shore of the river, the fish feed off the burnt human remains. This would allow them to reach man-eating size, as well as giving them a taste of people. Jeremy then must face off against a large goonch which may prove there are monster goonch ready to eat people. Wade travels to the Trinity River in Texas to discover the truth behind the Alligator Gar: a massive predator blamed for horrifying attacks on people. Reports claim this fish is more dangerous than a man-eating shark. With huge jaws and two rows of needle-sharp teeth, the gar proves an elusive opponent. Finally hooking a large gar, Jeremy finds out once and for all if the Alligator Gar deserves its reputation as a river monster. The Wels Catfish is one of the largest catfish in the world. Medieval reports claim it is an aggressive man eater that will swallow you whole. After new reports surface of attacks in Germany, Jeremy Wade dives deep into the mystery of these fish. His investigation leads him to Spain, where a group of catfish were introduced into the Rio Ebro. Numerous factors led to these creatures taking over the ecosystem and possibly growing to man-eating size. There, Jeremy finds that these river monsters have no fear of man, and faces a potential maneater. The Amazon has many river monsters. Anacondas, Caimans, Piranha, and Jaguars all call this place home. Years ago, Jeremy Wade traveled here looking for Arapaima: a 10 foot long fish that has been known to ram predators with the force of a car crash. The trip resulted in Jeremy feeling the full force of one of these blows. Now, Wade has returned to Brazil to once again face off against this fish and determine if the Arapaima deserves to be on the Amazon's already large list of monsters. Journeying to the few spots where fishing for these fish is allowed, he encounters an Arapaima farm where the fish do something surprising. Jeremy then hears stories of the Amazon's other killers, the caiman. He searches for these, as well as a mysterious legend with its roots buried deep in folklore. Then, after finding the perfect spot, he finally comes face to face with the legendary giant, whose body could become a living missile. Sharks are perhaps the most dangerous and feared of all fish, but these predators are confined to the oceans, right? The Bull Shark, the most dangerous and aggressive shark, has been known to swim miles up rivers. Jeremy Wade follows reports of attacks in rivers to Australia to find out why and how far these fish swim upstream. He traces the trail of blood left by these monsters from bays to lagoons to rivers, until he finally zeros in on the lair of these sea monsters. While fishing for one, Wade finds something even more shocking and terrifying than a full grown shark.

Online Previews Single Ladies 2x1 Slave to Love

Meanwhile, April anticipates dating again in the wake of her divorce, and the ladies bid adieu to Val. Free Download Video Single Ladies 28th May 2012 Episode On VH1  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .Online Watch Single Ladies Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV . Free Download Single Ladies Full Episode Video.Did you catch the Single Ladies premiere last night. It was our first look at the new VH1 series produced by Queen Latifah. The NYT is calling the show "Sex and the City (Atlanta), With Racial Politics" because it follows three girlfriends Val (Stacey Dash), Keisha (LisaRaye McCoy), and April (Charity Shea) on high-fashion jaunts that explore sexual and racial politics of dating, relationships, and sisterhood.So far many of the reviews have been pretty harsh, basically chalking the show up as more mindless drivel for women. But should we really listen to that kind of too-soon criticism, especially when it mostly comes from men, or give the show a chance?Not surprisingly male reviewers seem to have the harshest early criticism for Single Ladies. Single Ladies is a television series on the VH1 network in the U.S. created by Stacy A. Littlejohn and produced by Queen Latifah's Flavor Unit Entertainment for the MTV network-owned cable channel. The show chronicles three friends, Val, Keisha and April, and their relationships. The series premiered on May 30, 2011 with a two-hour television film.

Initially the program received reasonable ratings. The two-hour premiere gained a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.8 million total viewers. It also scored a slightly higher 2.0 rating in the 18-34 female demographic.

The show was tested as a movie before being turned into a 12-episode series. Executive director Olde reports that "TV, sometimes, under the best of circumstances, is a gut business," and went on to say that, after testing the script, the response was good enough for them to develop it into the series.

Critical reception was not too favourable, Media Life Magazine reporter Tom Conroy reported that, "The female characters are either one-note (Keisha), inscrutable (April) or incoherent (Val). It’s unfair to blame the actresses. The writers are the ones who can’t decide if Val, for example, is the kind of girl who would make men wait 90 days or the kind of girl who would use a phrase like “tap this” referring to herself."

Although VH1 bills "Single Ladies" as a romantic comedy, this hourlong show is really a soap -- basically a scripted version of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" seeking to fill a niche among African-American women largely abandoned by broadcasters since "Girlfriends" went off the air. Still, it's not a particularly inspired serial, replete with tired situations, stiff dialogue and male characters possessing less dimension than those populating "Sex and the City," if that's possible. It's not easy for a series featuring beautiful women to harbor zero appeal among men, but these "Ladies" thread that needle.

Produced by, among others, Queen Latifah, and created by Stacy A. Littlejohn ("The Wanda Sykes Show," "All of Us"), "Ladies" shares a name with a catchy Beyonce song and employs almost the exact same lyric when Val ("Clueless'? " Stacey Dash) extends an ultimatum to her longtime boyfriend in front of their friends in the first scene: "If you like it, then put a ring on it," she snaps.

Three months later, Val is opening a shop and still trying to make sense of her failed relationship, while pal Keisha (LisaRaye McCoy) -- who has an extremely casual attitude about sex -- is engaged in a sort-of naughty game with a wealthy businessman (DB Woodside). Finally, their friend April (Charity Shea) -- ostensibly happily married -- is having a risky affair with the mayor (played by the rapper/poet/Fox News bogeyman Common).

There's a fair amount of sex and cattiness in the two-hour premiere, but the former has all the heat of a perfume commercial, and the latter wouldn't ruffle a hair in "Real Housewives" territory, which is clearly a source of inspiration.

The main problem, though, is these ladies and the men in their lives keep getting saddled with exclamations like, "Whoa, drama overload!" and, "Don't' even get me started on your ass." Yes, please don't.

With such a dearth of compelling drama aimed at African-Americans (and whatever VH1 chooses to call this, there's nary a laugh in the piece), "Ladies" could garner some attention by default. Still, if this is the direction the net intends to go with its original scripted endeavors, let's just say the development teams at higher-aiming cablers like FX and AMC can rest easy.

Online Previews The Bachelorette 8x3 Week 3 (S8)

The guys back at the house are talking about Emily’s having a child. Natch, it gets heated. The Bachelorette Free Download Video The Bachelorette 28th May 2012 Episode On ABC  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .Online Watch The Bachelorette Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV . Free Download The Bachelorette Full Episode Video. THEN RICKI COMES OUT TO SING WITH HER MOM AND THE MUPPETS AND OH MY GOD I AM SO JEALOUS. And more than $20,000 was raised for charity. That’s a nice thing, if you are able to forget about all of the money that must be spent to pull off a television show like this one.Chris is the first to get in some alone time (if you don’t count Charlie) out of this date, and Emily tells him he’s like, so good looking. Then, they cut to a Jef/Emily one-on-one and she is clearly wigged out that Jeff isn’t falling all over her. Dude is playing it well, I think, because she cannot handle his nonchalance.Meanwhile, Joe gets picked for the next one-on-one date.Stevie gets his turn during the group date, and uses it to do a little bit of dancing. Kalon (the guy who flew in last episode on a chopper and has a butt chin) steps in to get some face time, which Stevie does not savor. Aaron comes up almost immediately after, Kalon asks for two minutes and Aaron vetoes that deal. Takes Emily away, like a boss.Kalon and Stevie start jawing at each other. Stevie calls him a douche, and tells him he doesn’t like him. Kalon sort of owns him in a verbal sparring match that leaves Stevie saying “uh-huh, yeah, okay,” repeatedly like he is Puff Daddy singing “Come With Me” from the Godzilla soundtrack.JEF GETS THE ROSE. Thus proving everything I never wanted to believe about getting women to like you. It does explain a lot, though: I’ve found the ones you try the hardest for are the ones that tend not to work out. This show is making me get so philosophical.Emily and Joe’s date begins at an airport, where she reveals they will be flying to her home state, West Virginia. He’s probably pissed he didn’t just get to bake cookies at her house and drink juice boxes in the car. (What if they’d nixed the cash needed to fly a private jet to WV and instead paid that to charity?) Kalon says some stuff to Doug (who is a father) that implies he is neglecting his fatherly duties by coming on this TV dating show. Doug does not like this, as you may expect.

(Here’s a fun fact: A girl just Tweeted at me that this guy I have been calling Jeff is actually Jef. In fact, she is correcting every single person on Twitter who has made this mistake. It’s impressive. So I just had to go back and switch all my Jeffs to Jefs. I hope his parents feel really cool for being trendy. And I wonder why Jef isn’t always spelled that way.)

Emily likes Joe. She says he makes her feel comfortable, and looks like McConaughey (spelled that correctly on the first try). Things are going well for him. He trips up a little bit on her “Where do you see yourself in five years?” question, because it is clear he does not know and dances around it by saying he “wants to be happy.” Who in the fuck is like, “I hope I’m really goddamn miserable in five years,” except for maybe Bruce Wayne? But then he kind of bounces it back on her and it’s clear she doesn’t know much about what she wants either, except to have a bunch of kids.

Later in the date, they hit this thing up called a love clock. You write down little love wishes/notes you put inside the clock. Joe’s is that he’ll get to come back to West Virginia (it’s almost heaven) sometime with Emily and Ricki to meet the rest of the clan. This makes her cry good tears; and it seemed like he scored some big points with it.

But, Emily wasn’t feeling it. Maybe those were not good tears. She starts crying a little bit and talking about how she takes this whole thing seriously. She isn’t able to picture where she and her daughter fit in in his life. Seems to me like it’s something a little bit melodramatic, what she’s doing, given she met this dude like two days ago. But also, why would you get a wholly rational person to be the main character in a show like this?

After she sends Joe on her way, fireworks begin shooting off and she watches them with that fake, almost martyr-like sadness people like to exude after a break-up they aren’t really upset about at all.

Emily tells the guys when she shows up for a cocktail party that Joe was funny and stuff, but that she is looking for more than that. I suppose he didn’t look as much like McConaughey as she had initially thought from afar.

Emily gets some one-on-one time with Arie. They just sit on a bench and cut the bull for a few minutes. She says multiple times he makes her feel nervous. I’m as surprised as you are.

Ryan, who already has a rose, gets Emily alone again. The other guys are, of course, very pissed about that. Tony rushes in to try and get some time, but before leaving her Ryan gives Emily a handwritten letter. She reads it, out loud, while tony stands there awkwardly. This is no short letter, either. The dude busted out his composition book and got weird with it. He skipped at least three or four recess sessions to put that together. It clocks in at seven pages. This guy is killing it.

Tony finally gets some time with Emily, and begins talking about his son. He says he’s the greatest kid ever, which I’m sure Emily and Ricki both disagree with. Tony is using his child as a tool, saying he just misses him so much etc. etc.

Kalon is lamenting on being painted as the outcast among the men before he snags Emily for a few more moments of exclusive hangout. Sean says he gets the impression Kalon “uses his vocabulary” to display his dominance over the household. He clearly knows nothing about how men establish dominance. And by dominance I mean also his assertiveness and powerfulness.

An evening that celebrated Laing’s Scottish roots provided the perfect opportunity for Matthews to make amends with Laing, who seemed more interested in enjoying cheap gags about the certain lack of underwear under the kilt he had adorned for the occasion.But, as Matthews and Laing made peace, Kimberley’s world came crashing down at the same function, as she was confronted by ex boyfriend Diego, insistent to find out why she had abruptly ended their relationship. It was an attempt that failed, leaving Diego to look undeniably pathetic at the same time.

Kimberley’s current flame Richard seemed surprisingly calm about the whole situation, although his insistence that Kimberley should speak to Binky will undoubtedly make for the most awkward moments of next week’s episode.OMG!!!! I've gotta get this off my chest..........she is such a f'ing medlar. Can't believe how much she's sticking her oar in where it's completely and utterly not her place to do so. No f'ing wonder she's single. Just step aside and let Kimberley & Richard get on with it. Oh, and btw.....look at her more and she looks like the female version of Ollie. If she had His hair she's look his twin. Very manly looking and probably the roughest girl in MIC. Rant over.It's the biggest TV event since ... since the new series of Mad Men aired last week. Maybe it's my age, but event TV seems to be coming round faster and faster these days. But for those who missed all the previews, the second series of Game of Thrones (Sky Atlantic), the adaptation of George RR Martin's unfinished epic fantasy septet, has just started here and in the US.

Confession time. I'm not a big fan of fantasy sci-fi. The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter left me largely unmoved, and I've never been remotely tempted to read Martin's A Song Of Ice and Fire. But event TV is event TV and I'm not immune to hype, so if people are clamouring that it's the best thing on TV since Mad Men, then it would be churlish not to give it a go.

Now the apology. Having watched the first episode of the second series, I just don't get what all the fuss is about. Sure, it has some great actors and HBO has clearly bust the bank on the budget, but I didn't have a clue what was going on. With the opener of most second series, there is usually a a recap of the story so far, both to help those whose minds have wandered over the previous 12 months and to lure in those, like me, who hadn't watched the first. But this episode took no prisoners at all. It was wham-bam straight in there. No doubt a joy to Martin's many fans, but a stumbling block for neophytes.

I'd done a bit of homework, so I knew it was vaguely about warring factions in Westeros and that Robb Stark was one of the goodies, but that wasn't much help. Most of all, though, I felt let down by the pace. The show's fans had all written rapturously of the tightness of the scripts, the non-stop action and how it was a cross between Rome and The Sopranos but last night's episode felt ponderous. Where was the much-touted sex-and-gore quotient: the sexposition? There was barely a violent death and the first moment of gratuitous nudity arrived only moments before the end credits.

To make sure it wasn't just me being a grumpy, out-of-touch middle-aged reviewer, I forced my 19-year-old daughter to watch it with me. She didn't get it either. Nor did she thank me. My guess is that if you're already a Martin fan, then Mondays will be a night to stay in and watch TV: but for the unconverted there is little here to make you go back and watch the first series on DVD. Which is where you really need to start.


Most artists are understandably keener to discuss their art rather than its value, but with Hirst the two are hopelessly intertwined. Of all modern British artists he is the one most identified with commerce, and those who know him well insist money is much more important to him than he is willing to let on. Nor was Hirst that willing to consider which of his works were more artistically successful; surely he can't think they are all equally brilliant? I was also none the wiser whether Hirst is a one-trick pony, a chancer who has done fabulously well by talking a great game or a genuinely brilliant artist. Then that might just be the whole point.

Online Previews Basketball Wives 4x15 `Season 4, Episode 15

Tami asks. Wait a minute,Free Download Video Basketball Wives 28th May 2012 Episode On VH1  Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .Online Watch Basketball Wives Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV . Free Download Basketball Wives Full Episode Video .Is this another one of Tami’s Texas textbook revisionist history lessons? Jennifer never asked to be hit by Evelyn’s baldheaded assistant. Why is she lying? “I know she’s very upset,” Kenya says. “I don’t understand why she’s upset,” Tami says. I wish I were given a free trip to Tahiti. I’d tap on Tami’s window every night, wearing a goalie’s mask. Apparently, Kenya isn’t jovial enough for the ogres. Shaunie wants to know why. “You seem upset,” Shaunie says. “I had a bottle thrown at me,” Kenya says. “I’m not happy,” Kenya says.

Ha! Kenya glares at Evelyn, who is seated across from her, looking very nervous and constipated. “And what do you want me to say?” Evelyn asks. “I’m sorry for throwing a bottle?” Yeah, I think that’s what she was getting at, Evelyn. “When I’m angry, I see red,” Evelyn says. What is wrong with Evelyn? What she did was not some innocent mistake. She threw a wine bottle at Kenya’s head, which could have seriously harmed Kenya or someone else.

She acts as if she accidentally broke Dr. Huxtable’s juicer while making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the kitchen with Peter. “Do you accept the apology?” Tami asks Kenya. Did I miss something? I’ll admit, I do drift off to my happy place most of the time this show is on, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t hear anything that even remotely sounded like an apology from Evelyn.

“As a grown woman with two little kids, I think there are better ways to handle it than throwing a bottle,” Kenya says. That’s the most intelligent thing I’ve heard said on this show. “I respect the fact that you apologized,” Kenya says. And that was the dumbest. “Are you okay?” Shaunie asks Kenya. “Look how you’re looking at me.” Isn’t that physically impossible? “You’re scaring me a little bit,” Shaunie says.

So, Evelyn hurls a bottle over Shaunie’s head, Tami flails around like some disgruntled wildebeest on any given day, but it’s Kenya who scares her? “So you are a little bit crazy? Shaunie asks. “I am,” Kenya says. Kenya’s making weird beady eyes and shaking. I think she’s overdoing it a bit, but I understand.

My father says if you’re in a situation where you can’t beat your opponent, act crazy and the person will leave you alone. It looks like Kenya’s strategy is working. They move on to Jennifer.

The ogres decide to summon Jennifer out of her room. Instead of going to Jennifer’s room themselves, they have Kenya do it. Jennifer and Kenya walk to lunch, passing Suzie and the ogres. “It’s so pretty here,” Jennifer says, completely oblivious to the trolls who are gawking at her on the other side of the pool. Kenya tells Jennifer about her conversation with Evelyn.


A few days ago, Shaunie O'Neal, the high priestess of the Basketball Wives Ya-Ya Sisterhood, offered up (another) apology for the show's trip to crazy town this season. From a woman that claimed that Basketball Wives was a positive show, it was definitely an about-face, likely partially mentioned as a response to the growing criticism of the show and calm the waves of angry tweets crashing on each of the wives. Between the bullying that has been taking place over the last two seasons and the complicitness that all non-involved parties have shown, it's been an especially tumultuous time for Basketball Wives, one that could either make or break the show going forward.

And before tonight's episode, I still had a modicum of hope left that the show would find its way back. It's never been the highest form of entertainment or an especially thoughtful show, but it tended to keep itself in check and things never got that bad, considering. You had the typical thrown objects and screaming matches, of course; it just never became something that you had to worry about. But Tami's behavior tonight, y'all, was so far over the line that I cannot find an analogy appropriate enough to describe it. It was the type of vile, condescending, mean-spirited mean girls type malarkey that you thought everybody left behind in junior high; drunk or not, Tami was not a good person and had no excuse for any of her behavior. Not for arguing with Kesha, not for threatening her, not for taking her purse - none of it. The hypocritical taunting (calling Kesha a childish 30-something while being 40-something and essentially playing keep away), the God complex (making her apologize before getting the purse back), the victim blaming (talking about Kesha's thin skin) were all incredibly gross and unnerving to watch. I believe that reality TV can edit a perception of a person to be different than they actually are, but you have to give them the material to do so; that wasn't a CGI Tami Roman wreaking havoc all over Tahiti. That was real live Tami Roman embarrassing herself, her children, and every black woman in America with her behavior tonight and she has only herself to blame for it.

However, don't think that the other girls are off the hook. If anything, they made it much, much worse by either qualifying any criticism they had of Tami or just sitting back and watching it all go down. Which is why I think that Shaunie's apology is not to be taken seriously, since she got into the drama just as much as anybody else. Granted, tonight she (feebly) "stood up" to Tami, but let's look at what else she did tonight. For one, she was cackling in her confessional about Tami taking the purse; she willingly participated in the 5th grade prank on Kenya involving fish, and she never uttered a word while Tami dressed down Kesha before giving the purse up. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem and Shaunie implicitly co-signs every move, every insult, every aggressive bit of posturing that comes from Tami. If my boss tells me (verbally or non) that I'm doing something right, dammit, I'm going to keep doing it and that's exactly what Tami's doing. Look at Shaunie mentioning that she couldn't tell Tami not to take a drink because she's a grown woman. Granted, yes, Tami is grown and should (key word) know not to drink if it sets her off or if she's around somebody that she doesn't like. But she doesn't know how to do that, be it through a desire for camera time and/or a legitimate problem with alcohol, and it's the job of the other girls to help her learn when it's time to say no. It's called being a friend and looking out for your girl's best interests and the ladies of Basketball Wives might need to try doing that more often.

Free Download The Secret Life of the American Teenager Full Episode Video . stay-at-home dad by day, expert in Native American history by later in the day. George’s random lesson in Mojave history came completely out of left field. One minute he and Ashley were having a perfectly normal convo about her sex life and the next, Secret Life had turned into 3rd period history class. Oh well, we won’t turn down an opportunity to get our education on. Thanks, George! Was the flashback to mini-Amy the scariest thing you’ve ever seen? Look, Secret Life isn’t the first television show to do the whole “father picturing his teenager as a little girl thing” — we’ve just never seen it done so ... creepily. There wasn’t even any lead-in music! Amy was yelling at George per usual, and suddenly there was a random kid staring up at us with a toothless grin. There’s a word for people who see things that aren’t there, George. It’s called delusional.George wants Robbie to help him demolish the kitchen? When George insisted that Robbie help him re-do the kitchen, we kept waiting for Anne to step in like, “Um, get my kid away from that hacksaw,” but no. Nothing. She was too busy tearing up over her counter tops to realize that her baby had been sitting in the middle of a construction zone with no hard hat on all day.Anyway, with Betty showing this new side of hidden wisdom, Leo discovered that his secretary of 25 years was in love with him. That's the way Secret Life works. Just when you're about to rule someone out for whatever reason, the writers throw a wrench into the story and change everyone's opinions.Take Ricky, the eternal bad boy. Now he's the great dad and loving boyfriend who is giving Ben a truth talk.Ben - the most loyal, doting guy on earth - is suddenly ready to up and leave his wife, who just lost their child. It's not an easy situation for Ben or Adrian, but I'd hate to see him split. Then, you see George and Anne, who are divorced, yet she works at his business and he lives in her house. Lines are blurred on this show, but that's what keeps it interesting.Jack moving into Grace's house is just another way to keep them in each other's lives. The poor kid got so excited when Kathleen hypothesized Grace breaking up with Grant. It felt slightly unfair. But it's also unfair that he's with Madison when I don't think he truly loves her.Lesson of the week? Honesty is the best policy. Amy should've told Ricky the truth, especially when he gave her an opening. Betty was honest with Adrian and it seemed like Adrian had a breakthrough. Ben was honest with himself and Leo... well, Leo is getting there.With Adrian still reeling in the aftermath of her daughter’s death, Ben has turned into quite the little villain as Ashley takes a road trip to nowhere, Papa Juergens changes the countertops in the kitchen, Ricky and Amy fight, as usual, over nothing, this time to resolve it with a bedtime romp and Tom chills with his new family.

What impresses is the evolution of Ben’s character, from tragic hero to hateful villain, all while making sense, all without really breaking out of character is, well, its something the show has done which I actually like. Ben does not want to be with Adrian, he’s understandably pissed off, but from his confession to his best friends and his reaction to Ricky’s advice, I’m hoping that the writers will build up on this character development and fulfil the promise that it sort of established in last week’s episode. He’s not the noble guy anymore.

Adrian meanwhile has to contend with her grief, and the show is also getting along well with her character, developing it in such a way that she has not yet gotten grating and, er, Ben’s stepmother (I know, I don’t know any of these peoples’ names. It took me twenty episodes to figure out which one was Ben and which was Ricky, though in that case it was because the actors look identical) provided an actually semi amusing scene.

So yeah, I’m not saying this show is as emotionally gripping as Friday Night Lights, but with the stillborn subplot it rapidly matured, paticularly the acting. I really admire what Brenda Hampton is trying to do, insofar as taking a tired show and breathing some life into by providing some real, serious stakes. Hopefully the vast improvements will continue.Ashley’s on day one of her “educational” trip across the country, and she’s left her renties all alone and broken-hearted. George is even more crushed when he learns that Amy’s moved in with Ricky, so he takes it out on his house by “renovating” it ... with Robbie. Yeah, ‘cause sticking your kid in the middle of a construction zone is always a good idea. Parent fail.

Meanwhile, George checks in with Ash to make sure she’s following his rules of the road, which include gems like no tornado chasing, no peeing in truck stops, and, of course, no sex. Ha, like that’ll happen. So far, Ashley’s trip consists of feeding donkeys and hanging out at gas stations, and since she and Toby have decided to stay off freeways, it looks like they won’t make it to the east coast until next year. It was nice knowing you, girl.

Back at the Juergens house, George warns Amy that her relationship with Ricky won’t work out and they inevitably have one of their fighting matches. And then, Secret Lifers, the unthinkably hilarious/adorable happens: George imagines Amy as a lisping 6-year-old with the cutest smile ever. Commence laughter.

It has focused on the personal and professional lives of members of the Kardashian and Jenner family, headed by Kris Jenner and her husband, Bruce Jenner, with their children and close friends which includes Kardashian sisters (fashion models), Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, and Khloe Kardashian, and their younger brother Rob Kardashian, plus the Jenner sisters, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner (also models).As of September 2011, six seasons of the TV series have aired. The success of the series has led to a number of spin-offs, including Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, Kourtney and Kim Take New York, and Khloé & Lamar.On April 24, 2012, E! signed a new three year deal with the Kardashian family that will keep the series on the air through the ninth season.The seventh season of Keeping up with the Kardashians will premiere on May 20, 2012 and will consist of 18 hour-long episodes.


Khloé celebrates her birthday in New York City with her family and friends, while Kourtney continues to weigh the pros and cons of opening up a new store there. Meanwhile, Kris decides she's fed up with Bruce's homebody attitude and leaves him behind in Los Angeles, but Rob gets him to let loose during a night out in a club with his friends and the BG5 girls. Bruce later gets earrings and a haircut. Also, Kim parties with football player Miles Austin (with the paparazzi not far behind), and her ex Reggie Bush becomes jealous when he finds out that she has moved on. Miles later breaks up with Kim at the end of the episode. (1-Hour Episode)Kim receives another round of Botox injections after Kris says she has lines around her eyes. Khloé goes along for moral support, and Kim suffers the side effects of Botox: the skin around her eyes start turning purple. After this incident, Kim swears that she will never get another injection. Meanwhile, Kris is discovered smoking and Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie try to get her to quit; Kourtney plots to make Kris think that Kendall is smoking because of her example. Kourtney buys nicotine-free cigarettes (honey and marshmallow) and Kris decides to stop smoking. Scott returns to the house to apologize to Kris, but she refuses to give him another chance. Worried about never seeing Kourtney again and possibly never meeting his child, he frantically sends text and voice-mail messages until Kourtney grants him a chance to explain himself in person. She finally reconciles with him, and the whole family comes back together at her baby shower. Kim faints from exhaustion and takes 2 weeks off, deciding that when she does resume working, she won't take on so many responsibilities. After Kourtney delivers her son, Mason Dash Disick, she announces that she'll be returning to Miami to hire new girls at the store, as only 2 are currently working there. Khloé says she'll go too although she'd rather stay in L.A. with Lamar; she compromises that she won't be there 24/7. Scott is also going, to visit friends and open a nightclub. Kris is upset that Kourtney and Scott will be taking Mason along, and and Bruce tells Khloé her marriage is more important than going to Miami. Playboy magazine contacts Kris, asking her to tell Kim that they want her to be on the cover of their December 2007 issue. Kim is hesitant at first, but Kris encourages her. To show Kris what a difficult decision it is, Kim proposing trading places and plays Kris' manager and setting her mom up for a semi-nude shoot. Kim gets the skimpiest outfit she can. Kris's best picture is her topless, in an American flag towel/blanket. Kris enjoys the shoot, surprising Kim. That night, everyone shows up to Kourtney and Scott’s house. It’s their first official dinner at the house, and they have a chef serve up dishes. The tastier dish, though, may be the server himself, because he gets Kris’ flirty mouth watering. Kourtney, still reeling after lunch, is having none of that.“You’re just so inappropriate and embarrassing,” she bluntly tells her mom. She follows that up with a few other jabs about being “uptight” and having “no shame in [her] game.” Kris suggests they move the conversation outside. That’s fine by Kourtney because she’s ready to bring it out there too. She tells her she doesn’t understand how she could do what she did so many years ago, especially with having four children depending on her. She also reminds Kris that it was her and her “memoir” which dug up the dirt covering that story’s coffin.

Kourtney and Mason have another video chat with Khloe. The subject of Kourtney’s feud with mom comes up, and Kourtney admits to being meaner to Kris lately. She doesn’t want to talk to Scott about it because he wouldn’t understand, so Khloe suggests she seek therapy. Kourtney says she had therapy once regarding her relationship with Scott, and that it helped her tons with her relationship, so maybe it would work for the momager. Kourtney, who was totally Team Khloe on last week’s episode, tells sis, “You are like the one person who does not annoy me or get on my nerves.” Gotta love their bond!

Joy Behar had a little trouble keeping the "Mob Wives" (Sun., 8 p.m. ET on VH1) on a short leash during the first of a two-part cast reunion after the most recent season. Behar was acting as the host/referee.Drita and Ramona have been going at one another since the first episode of the season, and they picked right up as if no time had passed.They were made even more furious when security wouldn't let them simply fight it out. So the women decided to make it an open invitation to meet up outside of the show and finish what the cameras and security never seem to allow them to finish.And with that, Drita stormed off the set, though she won't stay gone for good. The whole gang will be back for more reminiscing and more fighting next week. Maybe Karen will get a chance to speak. The throwdown between Ramona and Drita got in the way of Drita and Karen maybe talking out their differences.See if they get the chance on Part 2 of the "Mob Wives" reunion, next Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on VH1.TV Replay scours the vast television landscape to find the most interesting, amusing, and, on a good day, amazing moments, and delivers them right to your browser.

The second season of "Mob Wives" picks up where the first left off -- with each cast member dealing with major personal life issues. The rift between Karen and Drita is far from over -- will they ever be able to 'bury the hatchet'? Renee goes under the knife for major plastic surgery that may have some unexpected consequences, while also contemplating her future with her ex-husband Junior. Drita is considering her options when it comes to leaving her husband Lee -- while Carla's relationship with her estranged husband Joe may take an unexpected twist. And, of course, everyone wants to know what's in Karen's soon-to-be-released book -- the one she moved back to New York to write!

Last season, "Mob Wives" gave viewers an unfiltered look into the closed-door society of Renee, Karen, Carla and Drita, four struggling "allegedly" associated women who have to pick up the pieces and carry on while their husbands or fathers do time for Mob-related activities. United by a bond which few understand, the women are all struggling with their identities and their futures as they raise their kids as single parents in the New York City area. (Source: VH1) That revelation contrasted with a bunch of fairly positive moments during the rest of the episode. For all her worrying about them, Drita's daughters seem to be unaffected by the recent divorce announcement, Gizelle earning an award from her school that leads to her getting a puppy. As much as Mob Wives is about Carla, Drita, Renee, Ang, Karen, and Ramona, it's also about the children of each woman and making sure that the mistakes made in prior generations don't get passed down. It's good to see that the kids are taking everything in stride and that Drita, spurred by Renee's ordeal with Junior, has been holding them closer, making sure to keep reinforcing positive behavior. Karen finally having her book party may have been a nice move for her professionally, completing a long-standing project and beginning the process of promoting it, but the fact that she considers herself to be the "real victim" in all this is laughable. Yes, being raised in the life may have made a certain impression on her and yes, her dad's currently incarcerated, but y'know what? Karen's alive, her child is alive, and her parents are alive, which is more than you can say for the victims of her father's brutality. I'm not fully opposed to the idea of a book about the mob/connected to the mob, in that you can learn a lot from somebody with the type of access that Karen has. There can be a perspective gained that you wouldn't have otherwise been exposed to, which is important in understand any subculture.

But her book isn't the same as the show, to me; the show, though tawdry reality at some moments, has lifted the veil a little bit on mob life and told the story of the mothers and the daughters affected by the actions of the men in their lives. It may feature women there only for their family connection, but they represent a number of women in similar situations who are finally getting their voice heard. It could be any six women and it'd still be Mob Wives because it's about the group, not the individual. The book, on the other hand, is Karen cashing in her fame from the show and her fame as her father's daughter to make a profit; Karen writing a book isn't a problem, but writing a book about your life, which has included innumerable deaths and lives ruined, is a pretty sticky situation. I haven't read the book, but judging from how Karen drops her father's name and occupation as often as she can, I doubt it's 400 pages of atoning for his sins, let's say. The least she could do would be to donate a certain % of the profits to a related charity or the victim's families, if only to show that the purpose of the book actually was to tell her story rather than make a quick buck.

Online Previews Girls 1x7 Welcome to Bushwick (aka The Crackcident)

Last night’s episode of Girls felt like a shorter version of Tiny Furniture.  Free Download Video Girls 27th May 2012 Episode On HBO Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .Online Watch Girls Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV .“The Return” focused all its attention on Lena Dunham‘s Hannah, omitting the rest of the cast. Hannah traveled back to her hometown where she encountered lots of people from her past, much like the aforementioned film. We also saw the reappearance of her parents, played by Becky Ann Baker and Peter Scolari.Hannah packs up her trash bag and heads back to Michigan for her parents' thirtieth anniversary. It starts off with smiles, but that doesn't last long. Once she's trapped in the back seat of their car, they unleash a string of questions about work and her life in New York. This wouldn't cause one to tense up unless one just quit their job and didn't want to tell one's parents yet. Hannah gets snappy and her dad responds with, "You've got a mood on."

We see Hannah's old bedroom that has been frozen in time -- Goo Goo Dolls poster on the wall, high school graduation pictures. (Enjoy reminiscing now Hannah, it's only a matter of time before that room becomes a home gym or office.) The next morning, Hannah is sent to pick up her mother's menopause prescription. She stops for a coffee and runs into an old acquaintance who tells Hannah the story of Carrie. Apparently Carrie had the same exact fate as Natalee Halloway. And there will be a benefit held for her that night.

This episode made me have a lot of Feelings. Feelings about what the word home means, Feelings about parents, Feelings about New York City. I would like to blame Judd Apatow, who co-wrote this episode. We’re a half-dozen episodes into the show and it seems an appropriate time to take a step back, a breather, and get the hell out of dodge. Time for Hannah to visit the family homestead in Michigan!

She arrives with all of her clothes in a giant black garbage bag, because obviously Hannah doesn’t own a suitcase. Hannah’s dad picks her up from the airport with a picture of bananas, for Hannah Banana. Such a (probably gay — Elijah, you are in my head) dad! They have “fun Netflix, and curried vegetables.” Girl, you’re in for a rough weekend.

I love that we get to see what Hannah left behind (in addition to her Goo Goo Dolls poster, which I don’t believe for one hot second), both physically and emotionally when she left for the city. The most telling object in Hannah’s all-pink childhood bedroom is a poster for Parker Posey’s Party Girl, which hangs on the ceiling over her bed. It all makes sense — teenage Hannah watches Parker eat falafel and take drugs and make out with handsome guys. New York City has never looked better. I’m only surprised that Hannah didn’t become a librarian.

Mom sends Hannah to pick up her hot flash medication at the pharmacy, but before she gets there, she visits Former Best Friend Hot Blonde Heather, who works at a coffee place and is wearing a beret and a scarf and a tank top. (It’s, like, French coffee.) Heather tells Hannah about a benefit that night for a missing girl from their high school who seems to have been abducted and murdered on a spring-break-style vacation, à la Natalee Holloway. Apatow and Dunham, you guys are a dream team. This episode is three clicks away from being a sequel to Drop Dead Gorgeous, so thick and wonderful are some of these bits of satire. Hannah looks like she wandered onto the set of Dawson’s Creek, with all these giant human cheekbones walking around. Is this what life is like in Michigan? Blondie wants to move to Hollywood to become a dancer and says, “I know enough to know that you don’t really have to know anybody,” and a sad wall goes up between Heather and Hannah, because even I can see the soft-core porn in this girl’s future.

I was waiting for the cute local boy, and here he is — Eric the pharmacist. He has dimples, cheekbones (obviously), and a hairdo like the poor man’s Waspy Tim Riggins. They flirt, and Hannah buys her mom’s pills, and then heads back to the car to sing along to some Jewel, which I really hope is on cassette tape. Eric then runs back to the car and offers her mom some personal lubricant, on the house, because the hot flesh medication can dry you up. Hannah doesn’t make nearly the weird face I would make in this situation. In any case, they set up a hot date for the missing girl’s benefit and Hannah bails on her parents’ anniversary dinner.

In the pregame pep talk Hannah gives herself, she says that “the worst stuff that you say sounds better than the best stuff that other people say,” because she’s from New York, and they are not. This both makes sense to me and doesn’t — after all, Hannah isn’t from New York, she’s from Michigan. How quickly does New York City enter the bloodstream? I’m not sure. It left me wanting to see her interact with more people from home who make her remember things she actually likes about Michigan, as opposed to just highlighting the differences between them. But, then again, that doesn’t sound funny, that sounds like the plot of Hope Floats (which I loved, because Harry Connick Jr. should star in everything). I suppose that for Hannah, the choice to move to New York is enough of a marker of her specialness, of how different she is than the people she grew up around.

As a native New Yorker, this argument doesn’t hold much water for me, because the people who move to Brooklyn from Points Unknown always seem to, you know, end up making sculptures inspired by the landscapes of their native South Dakota, or whatever. From the beginning, I thought this was one of the potential flaws of the show — getting the audience to believe that Hannah and her friends weren’t actual New Yorkers, but I guess that speaks to relatability, and notions of privilege, and if Hannah and company were all from New York then we wouldn’t have this amazing episode, so let’s just listen to some John Mayer and move along. What’s important here is that Hannah has drunk the Kool-aid and no longer associates with these people. My husband is from Florida and literally has a mental breakdown every time we visit. I’m familiar with this problem.

Online Previews Mad Men 5x11 The Other Woman

SCDP’s bank manager wants to know how things Free Download Video Mad Men 27th May 2012 Episode On AMC Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .Online Watch Mad Men Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV . look for ’67, and if I had to hazard a projection based on this week’s episode of Mad Men, I’d have to say deliciously good.Not for Lane of course, whose theft from the firm has him in a tense spot, and – as telegraphed by his wife’s line about their fellow ex-pat losing his visa after being fired – one that could well signal his departure from SCDP. Nor for Paul Kinsey, whose spiritual quest turned out to be as much about test-driving a commodity as the E-Type Jag that Don and Joan take for a spin (what a great move, putting the most beautiful woman ever made inside the most beautiful car ever made…). But deliciously good for us, the viewers, who were treated to another wonderful slice of Matt Weiner’s satisfying, stylish world.

Christmas Waltz was a Joan picnic. She did her colouring proud by throwing a red-headed hissy fit (and Pete’s Mohawk plane) at the receptionist who’d rubbed her up the wrong way in episode two, then relaxed into default sultry flirtation mode with Don. “My mother raised me to be admired”, Joan exhaled in the smoky bar, a phrase that Don - always great with a tag line - recalled in the card accompanying the first flowers he’d ever sent her. Jon Hamm and Christina Hendricks’ scenes were pure Mad Men delight this week, from their ‘let’s pretend’ game at the Jaguar dealership, to the subtext-laden back-and-forth assessment of Joan’s bar-fly admirer; from his hat to her dress, and that Doris Day tune. Chemistry? They invented the stuff.

Which begs a question that’s bubbled away quietly in the background of Mad Men for almost five seasons: why did Don and Joan never happen? It wasn’t for a lack of attraction: Joan admitted to Lane this season that she “… can’t even imagine how handsome [Don] must be blushing”, and Don, well, he’s only human. Another factor we can probably rule out was a shared respect for Don’s marriage vows...

No, the real reason, as Don reveals, was that Joan scared the shit out of him, and she was the one person at Sterling Cooper he’d been warned not to cross. Let’s remember the delicate balance Don must have had to tread in his early days at the agency after manoeuvring his way in by plying Roger with a Martini or six and pretending he’d been hired. And speaking of Roger, back in those days of course he and Joan were the office’s extra-marital item, a thread left teasingly hanging between the pair in this episode.

Paul Kinsey’s re-appearance this week was hilarious and tragic at the same time. His beatific beaming smile and story of redemption had gone out of the window by lunch, which he spent channelling Pete Campbell-levels of whining (“You had a vision?! Why couldn’t I have had a vision…”) and pitching Harry his dire-sounding Star Trek screenplay. 1966 Mad Men couldn’t stay Rodenberry-free for long, and this was a wonderful way to fold the Enterprise in, though I’d had my money on Sally catching an episode and mentally adding a young William Shatner to the wank bank.

Christmas Waltz saw the well-rehearsed theme of consumerism return to Mad Men (it’s never far away), but the show’s writers were as canny as ever in their treatment of it. Considering that it's a chronicle of the people who attached the consumerist monkey to our backs, Mad Men rarely paints society’s thirst to own stuff as the bogeyman. It has characters that do, yes; Midge and co., Megan’s off-Broadway circle, and this week, Paul Kinsey’s Hare Krishna group…, but when it comes to it, they’re portrayed as just as unfulfilled and covetous as the “gross materialists”, and all of them are happy enough for “the man” to pick up the cheque.

Kinsey’s dalliance with Eastern religion didn’t lead to his spiritual awakening, just like Midge’s heroin didn’t open her mind in season four. No-one achieves enlightenment in Mad Men (no matter what Roger thinks), not the “sense enjoyers” and their red sports cars, nor the Hare Krishna-converts and their consciousness-expanding mantras. It’s just too beautifully cynical a show for that.

On the topic of the haves and have-nots, a little Wall Street wish-fulfilment seemed to go on in the scene of SCDP’s partners forgoing their own bonuses in favour of the little people. It’s not often that the chaps of Mad Men lead by example, but this was an occasion to be proud of them (well, all but Lane of course).Considering how defined the characters on Mad Men are by their pursuit of achievement, it’s not hard to imagine any of them being done near irreparable harm by the realization that perhaps they’re not fit – or no longer fit – for the world of advertising. Given the effort the likes of Don (Jon Hamm), and especially, Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) have put in to attain such a career, seeing them stumble, as they have of late, is particularly worrisome when the end result of consistent failure is so dreadfully realized in the return of Paul Kinsey (Michael Gladis).

Thankfully, the more fragile personalities of SCDP are largely spared the vision of a Hare Krishna Kinsey – which is a good thing, taking into account that the ego-battering of work of Michael Ginsberg (Ben Feldman), and the effortless, drifting success of Megan Draper (Jessica Paré) have already taken a rather sizeable toll.

Online Previews Keeping Up with the Kardashians 7x2 Momager Dearest

Parents need to know that some of the antics Watch video Keeping Up with the Kardashians Momager Dearest On E!. Free Download Video Keeping Up with the Kardashians 27th May 2012 Episode On E! Tv Online Tv Live Streaming Video .Online Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Full Episode Watch Stream HD Video on Internet TV . in this reality show make The Osbournes look like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. The Kardashian brood includes a 20-something with aspirations to pose in Playboy and a tween who instinctively knows how to work a stripper pole. Alcohol is a staple of many family gatherings, and while only those of age are shown imbibing (the tweens just mix the drinks...), impressionable young eyes aren't exactly shielded from the hard-partying lifestyle. Plenty of language, too, though the strongest words (including "f--k") are bleeped. During Khloe's acupuncture session (she's SO stressed, people!), Kim pricks her finger and says: "I just put it in me so hard." PLUS 3 for at least attempting a Ray J impression.

After Kris walks into his house, Scott says all he wants is a little privacy. MINUS 17 for saying this to a TV camera.

"I model because I'm more like a personality," says Kim while taking Kendall to NYC. MINUS 8 for her forgetting to add "a personality... that's less interesting than pocket lint."

Kourtney says a chair looks like a vagina. She likely knows from watching her sister's sex tape. MINUS 2. That's gross.

Kourtney also lies to her mother about why she needs the spare key to her house, and then lies to Scott about how she finagled the item from her mom. PLUS 6 for a job well done. No way either of them finds out about these fibs.

Lamar Odom helps Khloe flip the couple's mattress. PLUS 6 for showing more effort here than he did during the entire Lakers/Mavs playoffs series in 2011.

Oooh, tough one. Kris already found out about key-based lie Kourtney told her. That misdirection may have actually been shorter than Kim's marriage to Kris Humphries will be. MINUS 4.

Lu Sierra shows up. She's a Runway Coach. PLUS 5 for shocking me. Who knew someone had a more pointless job than Kim?

After Kendall doesn't take the coaching seriously, Kim says there are "honestly no words for how mad I am at Kendall right now." MINUS 10 to the writers. Their only job is to come up with words for these mannequins!

E! Entertainment appears to have adopted a full-employment act for women featured in notorious sex tapes, segueing from Paris Hilton's "The Simple Life" to Kim Kardashian, who the network charitably bills as a "tabloid princess." In keeping with the title, though, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" actually widens its lens to encompass the whole irritating brood -- including Kim's sisters Khloe and Kourtney, mom-manager Kris and stepdad Bruce Jenner, who now has the distinction of having two sets of useless rich kids featured in pointless reality shows (his own alliterative duo, Brandon and Brody, appeared on FOX's "Princes of Malibu").

Once you get past Kim's prominently displayed assets, there's not much of a show here, and no discernible premise. As best I can tell, the tension -- at least in the second episode -- is supposed to stem from the fact that, as presented, Kris (who E!'s press release rather ickily dubs a "momager") is fairly inept at handling her daughter's non-career.

Indeed, were it not for E! (which previously featured Kourtney in "Filthy Rich Cattle Drive") and the tabloids, the Kardashian gals would be reduced to a footnote as the daughters of the late Robert Kardashian, a lawyer who gained attention during O.J. Simpson's murder trial.

Perhaps inevitably, the show exhausts most of its cache during the premiere, when Kim frets about appearing on Tyra Banks' daytime show and how they'll couch the conversation regarding her infamous (and widely available online!) videotaped frolic with rapper Ray J.

Elsewhere, one of her sisters goes on a date, Kris contemplates what's best for her talentless tarts, and Bruce sits around lobbing advice from the sidelines like a latter-day Mike Brady, albeit if "The Brady Bunch" was somehow blended with "Nip/Tuck."

The one amusing aspect of "Keeping Up" is the direct-to-camera interviews. All the Kardashians (and Jenners) seem to recognize that this is their shot at being more than pinup fodder and thus work extra hard to be engaging, but they often sound conspicuously as if they're reading off cards. Badly.Kris Jenner often pees herself. MINUS 7 because I don't care and because that's gross.

There's apparently a rule of no phones at the dinner table in this household. Multiple TV cameras, though? No problem! PLUS 9.

Kris is upset because her kids keep giving her a hard time over her bladder in front of strangers. Unless me and her are tighter than I realized, MINUS 19 for her complaining about this to a TV camera.

Bruce hopes to "inspire" others at a local heli-park. MINUS 12. Bruce Jennifer is an Olympian decathlete, folks.

These girls have to understand the value of money and hard work, Bruce says about his daughters. It's true. PLUS 3 because you can't just lie down, turn on a camera and invite Ray J into your room to get somewhere in life.

Kim uses the word "romantical." MINUS 47.

MINUS 112 because Kourtney just brought up her mom's "leaky vagina."

We just watched Kris Jenner get a gynecological exam. MINUS 879.

Kourtney and Kris are now doing simultaneous kegel exercises. MINUS 1,179. This is the worst half hour of my life.

PLUS 11 for Kylie and Kendall going to a downtown mission and meeting the first black people they've ever seen who aren't dating one of their siblings.
