1. New Episodes of the Vampire Diaries
The best drama since Lost can be found on the CW and it's called The Vampire Diaries. This show is seriously legit quality, and not just for the CW, but for any network, period. Clearly this show will never get the props it deserves for the simple fact that people are biased towards its network, but everything about this show works so well it's ridiculous. The cast is perfect, the writing is sharp and the cinematography is top-notch. This show is a well-oiled machine if there ever was one. Obvious comparisons to Twilight are no doubt expected, but this show is a million times better than junk like New Moon could ever be. Think True Blood + Dawson's Creek divided by Everwood, and you have The Vampire Diaries.
2. Skins Season 2 on DVD
Season 1 was good, but season 2 of this BBC show is seriously terrific. One of the best and most realistic "teen" drama's we've ever seen. Skins goes where no American teen dramas would even dare.
3. Sofia Vergara on Modern Family
This whole cast is perfect, but Sofia Vergara seriously deserves some Emmy love for her supporting role on the funniest comedy we've seen since The Comeback. We love everyone on here, but Sofia gets more laughs from us each week than anybody else. She's simply hilarious on here.
4. "Fire Bomb" by Rihanna
Hands down, this track on Rihanna's latest CD is the best song she's ever recorded. Not only that, but it's definitely our favorite song so far of 2010. This track paints a metaphorical picture that feels epic and is seriously great. Much respect for Rihanna if she records more songs like this. It feels like some of the best songs we've heard. We feel like we're watching a great movie, reading a great book, or just seeing an awesome video. This song does all of that for us. You can practically hear the history. "I just wanna set you on fire so I don't have to burn alone." We love it.
5. Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on the Food Network
Guy Fieri drives around the country to local diners and basically eats their food. But the food on this show just looks so fucking good we can't even take it. It's almost impossible to watch this show on an empty stomach. It's just torture if you do. Watch one episode of this and you'll see why it's the best show on the Food network.
6. Shiri Appleby on Life Unexpected
Not only is it great to have an old school WB type drama on the CW, but Shiri Appleby as the mother who gave up her daughter 16 years ago for adoption just really works for us. She was kind of fantastic and extremely dynamic in her first episode and we really can't wait to see more. She's come a long way from Roswell (thankfully) and has clearly grown as an actress. Think Lauren Graham meets Tina Fey. The ratings were solid so here's hoping Life Unexpected, along with Shiri will stick around for a while.
Shit List
1. The Tooth Fairy
This honestly looks like the worst movie ever made. The Rock as the fucking tooth fairy? Really hollywood? Why is he still making movies? This is just complete and absolute bullshit filmmaking. And please don't tell us it's for kids and that kids will enjoy it. Our response: it doesn't matter, there are plenty of great movies made for children that are quality (Up, The Princess and The Frog, Coraline) and this clearly is not one of them. If you are thinking about taking your kids to see it, don't. They will come out stupid and mindless, just like the film.
2. When In Rome Trailers
We love you Kristen Bell, but is this really where your career has taken you after Veronica Mars? If you continue to put out movies like this, you may end up on our shit list someday, which would be catastrophic seeing as your work on Veronica Mars is stellar. Please only choose roles that live up to your potential from now on. Not bullshit like this.
3. Simon Cowell leaving American Idol
So far this season has produced some of the best audition rounds of the entire series. We're actually looking forward to hearing some of the people they found, but Simon announcing that this will be his last season is a huge disappointment. Not only that, but his reasoning is that he's bringing his UK hit The X Factor to America. Why Simon? Why? This is so unnecessary. Do we really need another singing competition? You should really just stay on American Idol. Nobody really wants to see The X Factor, we already have it, it's CALLED American Idol, hello. Seriously. Bullshit move if you ask us.
4. My Life As Lis on MTV
The only thing worse than Jersey Shore and The Hills are people who think they are above watching guilty pleasure TV LIKE Jersey Shore and The Hills, which is exactly what this show aims to promote. This girl Liz pretends like she is different just for the sake of being different. Simply because she's not blonde and isn't "popular." Talk about self indulgence. Listening to "indy" music and making yourself different just for the sake of difference actually just means you are insecure. Saying things like "MTV is making me do this" is just annoying and ungrateful. Be happy you even have a show bitch. There is nothing more annoying than people who are anti mainstream just for the sake of doing so. Get this shit off my TV asap. We hate people like you Liz.
5. Mentally Incontinent by Joe Peacock
A homophobic doucebag writes about "that time I burned down a Hooters" and "that time I ended up in the hospital on my birthday." News flash Joe Peacock. You can't write and your stories really aren't anything special. Get a fucking clue.
