Speaking of "Lost" [Spoiler Alert], in our household last night's episode was greeted with another "WTF?" The episode was billed as the revealer of "John Locke's motivations" but we just couldn't get by "The West Wing"'s C.J. bashing people's heads in. Check out the video at the end of this post for 11 possible endings to the series.

The Simpsons
While this week's Mother's Day episode of The Simpsons was a pretty obvious homage to the 1949 movie, A Letter to Three Wives, the episode was still more than enjoyable for those of us who have never seen the flick.The episode saw the unlikely trio of Homer, Reverend Lovejoy and Apu as they got a letter from Moe saying that he plans to run off with one of their wives, but would not mention who. Trapped on the newly invented, incredibly round Weasel Island, the boys were stuck going through a series of flashbacks to figure out who's relationship was the most dysfunctional.In the end, "Moe Letter Blues" cleverly found a way to make Moe fix all three marriages without running away with any of them women. A little cheesy? Sure. But this is The Simpsons. Do we need another Van Houten divorce?The flashbacks definitely had some hilarious moments including a thousand devils d'ohing on Homer's shoulder. Moe was fantastic as a narrator and even better when he took advantage of his ominscient point of view. But the best line definitely went to Uncle Otto about Luann.His line and the rest of our favorite Simpsons quotes are after the jump.
The Apprentice
http://www.buydvdezy.com/goods-592-The-Apprentice-series-1-8-DVD-boxset.htmlTimothy Campbell is an entrepreneurial businessman who first became known by the British public after being crowned the winner of the hit BBC series The Apprentice and going on to become the first project director of the health & beauty division within Sir Alan Sugar's company, Amstrad PLC. Prior to working for Sir Alan, Tim had a very successful career with London Underground and progressed from a Graduate Trainee to a senior marketing project manager before applying for the high profile business programme. When he left Amstrad after two years to launch his own business, Sir Alan's message to Tim was testament to his ability and potential.
"He has been a great asset to the company and I wish him the best of luck for the future. He was the right choice and I will be there to offer any help and guidance should he need it."

Staite headlining CYPHAN convention in Chicago
Jewel Staite has done quite a bit in her still blossoming career. After a start that included credits on series such as The X-Files, Honey I Shrunk The Kids, and Dead Like Me, the actress found lasting fame in the genre world when she landed the role of Kaylee Frye on Joss Whedon’s cult hit series Firefly. She then reprised that role in the feature film Serenity before beginning work on Stargate Atlantis — where she remained for two years as Dr. Jennifer Keller until the series ended in 2009. One thing she hasn’t done, however, is a convention in Chicago.

West Wing
The president will make a fresh push for what the West Wing now terms "Wall Street Reform" during the week ahead. The White House announced Monday morning that the President will go to New York on Thursday to push for reform. He will call for swift action by the U.S. Senate and "remind Americans what is at stake" if a strong Wall Street reform package does not go ahead, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said in a statement. Republicans last week launched an all-out effort to convince Americans that the Democratic proposals to regulate financial firms would represent a big "bailout" for the banks. Obama's first, off-the-cuff response appeared to suggest little concern. But the White House quickly changed gears and the president's later comments -- including his weekend radio address -- were far more aggressive.Expect more of the same this week as Senate Democrats try and push the legislation to passage.
The Simpsons
And now it’s reached “The Simpsons."Al Jean, head writer and executive producer of “The Simpsons,” said the writers came up with the bit after a previous joke failed. They saw an article about Anaheim’s bid and decided Comic Book Guy, a purist, would be irked. They added the topical joke late in the process, about a month ago.“We were trying to think about things Comic Book Guy would be unhappy about,” Jean said in a phone interview. “He’s someone who gets extremely aggravated by things that don’t aggravate normal people. A lot of people told us they really liked that joke.”Officials at the Anaheim/Orange County Visitor and Convention Bureau, which is leading the effort to bring Comic-Con to Anaheim, took the joke in stride, said Elaine Cali, a bureau spokeswoman.“When you are mentioned on ‘The Simpsons,’ you are somewhere on the radar screen,” Cali said. “We all kind of got a chuckle out of that.”In fact, bureau writers put messages about “The Simpsons” on their Twitter account and a special “Bring Comic-Con International to Anaheim, CA” Facebook page, which has more than 3,000 members.“Did anyone else watch The Simpsons last night? Good news: the debate has hit the mainstream. Bad news: Anaheim doesn’t make Comic Book Guy very jolly. the Facebook message states.
The Apprentice
Until recently, Claire Young thought she had, in her words, the 'dream life'. Runner-up in the television series The Apprentice two years ago, the 31-year-old may have narrowly missed out on the £100,000 prize job with Sir Alan Sugar, but she felt like a winner anyway. A business entrepreneur and public speaker, her diary was filled seven days of the week. She had a book deal and had just finished filming a new television series called The Hirer, due to be broadcast this autumn, helping ordinary unemployed people back into the job market.
The Complete Series
The story of Stargate Atlantis began several years prior to its 2004 premiere. During its fifth and sixth seasons, Stargate SG-1 barely survived cancellation and concluded with episodes that could work as series finales. Its producers were planning for a possible movie to continue the story and focus on the lost city of Atlantis. The surprising renewals and continued popularity altered the landscape and opened up a much-different possibility, a spin-off series. Re-tooling the story during SG-1’s seventh season, the stage was set for the popular series to run concurrently with a second show in the Stargate universe. Could the Vancouver production deliver 40 episodes of television each year? If there was any chance for Stargate Atlantis to succeed, it needed to move beyond its predecessor and deliver a brand-new adventure.
Sasha Grey Joins The Cast of 'Entourage'
It looks like Vincent Chase really can have it all.
Sasha Grey has been cast as Vince's (Entourage DVD) girlfriend in the upcoming seventh season of "Entourage DVD set," according to TV Guide. Grey is a very-well known adult actress who has starred in several X-rated parody films of TV series, including "This Ain’t Star Trek" and "Sasha Entourage DVD boxset."
Grey made her first foray into mainstream films last year when she starred in director Steven Soderbergh’s "The Girlfriend Experience."
“Sasha’s the biggest porn star in the world right now," said "Entourage seasons 1-6 DVD boxset" creator Doug Ellin. "And when Soderbergh casts her as the lead of his movie, I take notice.”
Ellin also revealed that the decision to bring Entourage seasons 1-6 DVD boxset on board was unanimously approved by the male cast members.
"I wouldn’t have done this storyline if Sasha passed. Luckily she was okay with doing Entourage DVD.”
Grey will first appear in the fifth episode of the Entourage DVD set, where she will encounter Vince in a bar and subsequently begin dating him. Grey is signed to appear in the entire seventh season beyond that episode of Entourage DVD boxset, and may also return in the eighth and final season next year.
Ellin also revealed that the storyline was inspired by Charlie Sheen's relationship with an adult actress named Ginger Lynn at the zenith of his career during the '90s.
"You can’t believe [Entourage DVD] a porn star when you meet her,” related Ellin. “I think [Sasha & Vince are] going to have a very interesting relationship.“
The seventh season of "Entourage DVD set" will air this summer on HBO.
That waste of space that is Entourage DVD boxset (sorry guys, I loathe that show) will add an actress I've seen a lot of (if you know what I mean) next season of Entourage seasons 1-6 DVD boxset. Sasha Grey, one of porn's biggest names, will join the show for a major arc as Vince's girlfriend. Grey isn't just a lie-on-her-back actress, though—she also starred in Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience. Also, the eighth season of Entourage may be the Entourage DVD's last.
... James Gandolfini, better known as that cannoli Tony Soprano, is adapting the French-Canadian comedy series Entourage DVD set for HBO. Gandolfini hasn't decided on a role since leaving The Sopranos, but there's a possibility he could star in this new project.
... Fresh off its second-season renewal, FX's Justified has promoted actor Walton Goggins to Entourage DVD boxset series regular. Goggins plays Boyd Crowder, a racist neo-Nazi with a penchant for firing rocket launchers at churches. And I hear he's single, ladies!
... Elizabeth Perkins is leaving Weeds after five seasons. Perkins is leaving the pot-peddling Showtime Entourage DVD (which used to be dank but is now just shwag) to focus on a film career. [THR]
... Craig Kilborn, the smarmy original host of The Daily Show who everyone loves to hate (except me, I liked him for some reason), is giving the talk-show thing another try. The syndicated venture won't be a late-night Entourage DVD boxset show, and will combine a typical talk show with a "nonpolitical Daily Show."

Housewives’ star Teri Hatcher, who’s opened a web site to prove she’s just folks.

Attending the New York launch of the new site ‘Desperate Housewives DVD,’ draped in a Dolce & Gabanna dress and gold peep-toe shoes that together cost more than most of us make in a month, the urbane 45-year-old told reporters her new blog will be where ‘Teri and friends tell Desperate Housewives DVD set like it is.’
We’re promised free, and largely unsought advice on fashion, relationships and careers — all based on experiences from her own life.
“We graciously take on these responsibilities because we have big hearts and deep wells of Desperate Housewives DVD boxset,” Teri gushed at the Mail about women’s role in society. ”But the weight of all this leaves us craving support of our own. That’s why I wanted to create a resource; A trustworthy support system for women.”
Clearly channeling Gwyneth Paltrow’s obtuse self-involvement about her all-women site, ‘Desperate Housewives seasons 1-5 DVD boxset" Terri was now in the zone;
“GetHatched is about finding your way to the “Desperate Housewives DVD” part,” she enthused. “My desire is to be able to reach lots of women, and supply just the boost they need on any given day.”
Created in league with Disney – who clearly do all the work – the site boasts an interview with ‘Desperate Housewives DVD set’ co-star Eva Longoria Parker, and also gave fans the chance to vote for the deeply unflattering, over-priced toilet roll Teri wore at the launch.
And she’s got plenty of history from which to draw content – An ex Desperate Housewives DVD boxset′ers Cheerleader and passionate angler and golfer, the single-mom has been married twice; Her 1988 marriage to Marcus Leithold crashed in divorce in a year, and her 1994 marriage to actor John Tierney also died in a courtroom in 2003.
She’s now a single-mom to their daughter, Emerson Rose. And that, Desperate Housewives DVD plus the need to wear make-up seems to be all that’s required to tell the rest of the world how to breathe…

Grey's Anatomy recap: Sensitivity training

In the spirit of Grey's Anatomy DVD boxset's training session, herewith the lessons in ''extra sensitivity'' we learned from tonight's Grey's Anatomy DVD:
1. If you're going to inform your current lover about your wife sending you divorce papers, don't do it by telling your Grey's Anatomy DVD boxset's sister, who's also a fellow doctor, within earshot of your lover. While waiting for an ambulance to roll up with a patient.
Then again, Alex hasn't always been known for his sensitivity. Nonetheless, Lexie was a bit flustered by the news that Izzie and Alex were officially Grey's Anatomy seasons 1-5 DVD boxset, despite her repeated insistence that she's totally fine with this whole friends-with-benefits situation (and despite the extensive coverage of Katherine Heigl's departure). Alex insisted to Meredith that Grey's Anatomy DVD was totally cool, and Lexie didn't have feelings for him, and he didn't have feelings for her, and nobody had any feelings ever.
But, of course, that grand kiss in the middle of the hospital upon signing his divorce papers said otherwise. Grey's Anatomy DVD set again, who can trust a kiss that comes less than a second after a guy signs divorce papers?
2. Do not make fat jokes when a nearly-700-pound man arrives for treatment. Or, on second thought, do.
A very large Grey's Anatomy DVD boxset named Bobby showed up complaining of stomach pains — and cracking jokes left and right at his own expense, even though Cristina and Jackson got kicked off for making their own quips. Example: ''She likes to make mountains out of molehills, and I'm already a mountain.'' Grey's Anatomy seasons 1-5 DVD boxset did little to make us less grossed out when they gave us a tough-to-take shot of the real problem — he had developed a crazy-bad skin infection underneath his belly, in a place he couldn't even see.
Worse, Bobby hadn't walked in a year, but insisted on doing it when he needed to transfer onto a different gurney. This went well for about five seconds, during which he said to Grey's Anatomy DVD, ''You know what this reminds me of? Our wedding.'' Then he fell and broke his ankle. The doctors couldn't figure out how to get him a CT, because of his size. ''What about the Grey's Anatomy DVD boxset?'' random Mercy Wester Charles suggested. ''They've got to have a CT for, like, rhinos, right?'' The sensitivity of this comment was debated, but soon we were distracted by something else: the news from his wife that she was pregnant. ''Grey's Anatomy DVD set'' Lexie gasped. She handed over her clipboard and dismissed herself from the case without another word from Bailey.
It turned out Bobby had a severe deep tissue infection that would require the doctors ''clear out the infected fat.'' Thus this became the official Super High Risk Surgery of the Grey's Anatomy DVD. ''Almost too high to calculate.'' ''Five times the risk of heart attack.'' ''Slow healing, renal failure.'' ''High risk of pulmonary embolism.'' ''Post-op infection.'' Derek, who was about to be deposed in a lawsuit accusing him of pulling the plug on a patient recklessly, was having none of Grey's Anatomy DVD boxset. ''I'm saying we send him to a bariatric center that's prepared for a patient like this,'' he snapped, ''instead of us spending our time and resources caring for someone who obviously does not care for himself.'' But the ex-Chief turned him around, talking him into not seeing every patient as a prospective lawsuit. Yay, ex-Chief.

'The Celebrity Apprentice'
Last October, NBC invited a bunch of us TV critic types to meet and interview the cast of the current season of 'The Celebrity Apprentice.' This was before an episode had even been shot; in fact, this was the first time many of the contestants had met each other.Even then, I knew that Bret Michaels had what it took to win the whole thing.And now, it's coming to pass. He's only one of two men still left in the competition (the other being Curtis Stone). He's either led or taken over three of the tasks so far, and has done a very good job each time.But what led me to believe that Michaels was going to win it all was what he told me that morning in New York. "After 22 years of running Poison's business, that's out on the road handling 48 people on the road crew, I think that people are going to see that there's this other side of me that brings, not only these people skills, but my ability to work hard and play harder," he told me.

'Grey's Anatomy': Fat jokes, a confession and ... a mature adult decision?

'Grey's Anatomy': Fat jokes, a confession and ... a mature adult decision?
Thursday's episode of "Grey's Anatomy DVD" began with a little sensitivity training from Dr. Bailey. "R.O.C." was the watchword: reaction, observation and communication. From these doctors? I don't think so.
The reason for the extra Grey's Anatomy DVD set was Bobby -- a man who was so heavy he had to be brought in on a flatbed truck. When he stood to try to walk a few feet, his ankle snapped under his own weight. Though the fat jokes practically wrote themselves, Bobby is one of the most compelling patients we've met this season on "Grey's Anatomy DVD boxset."
Some of the Grey's Anatomy DVD view him as pathetic and helpless. Alex sees Bobby himself as the villain: "I got a good one. What did they call the guy who was so fat he couldn't get out of the Grey's Anatomy seasons 1-5 DVD boxset? Dead. And selfish. Because you left a 700-pound mess for your wife to clean up.'' Bobby's beautiful wife completely adores him, fiercely standing up for him when she walks in on the doctors comparing a hamburger and a French fry to figure out how she and her husband have sex.
After one of the most gruesome Grey's Anatomy DVD scenes we've seen -- both because of the layers of fat and the perforated bowel -- Bobby survives the operation. Whether his new lease on life will last is yet to be discovered, but we hope that his wife's pregnancy will inspire him to clean up his act.
Even though Bobby was a dynamic and interesting case, the best story line in this Grey's Anatomy DVD set episode came after Cristina was kicked off Bobby's case for sensitivity training. In a completely uncharacteristic move, Christina gave up heart Grey's Anatomy DVD boxset with Teddy in order to sit with the patient's very young daughter and comfort her through her worry.
Though Cristina insists she's only "kicking patient sensitivity ---," Sandra Oh's performance is heartbreaking as she breaks down and admits that she misses her father. "Grey's Anatomy DVD" used to be jam-packed with powerful emotional moments like this one. I miss those days, but now that the big tear-jerker scenes come few and far between, they're almost more emotionally satisfying.
Elsewhere in the hospital, a brazen patient flirted shamelessly with Callie, who made Grey's Anatomy seasons 1-5 DVD boxset very clear that she ... totally loved it. The woman was fun and sassy and completely harmless, until she wrote her number on Callie's hand and Callie realized the implications of her day.
"I can't get it off," she told Arizona when she got home that night. "I'm not going to use it, but I can't stop wondering if maybe she wants a baby someday."
This was one of the most difficult break-ups to watch yet on the Grey's Anatomy DVD. No one cheated. There was no betrayal. No one just walked out and left someone abandoned. There were simply two adults making a painful but responsible decision about their relationship.
Finally, Thursday night's episode of Grey's Anatomy DVD set brought a little bit of closure to one very, very loose thread: Alex finally signed and sent his divorce papers to Izzie. Fans of the show know she's gone, but until we saw Alex take that final step, we had to question whether he still has hope.
I can't wait to see how his relationship progresses with Grey's Anatomy DVD boxset. They might be the Mer/Der of the new generation.
Don't forget to tell me your thoughts in the comments below and check back after next week's all-new episode of Grey's Anatomy DVD!
Desperate Housewives – Episode 6-21 Review

Why hello there viewers! I welcome you to another review of the sixth season of Desperate Housewives DVD. This is episode twenty-one.
Spoiler-free zone:
The season of Desperate Housewives DVD set is almost over, and everything seems to be in place for the two episodes that will follow. Most of the storylines progressed and by the end of the Desperate Housewives DVD boxset, not one but two bad guys were living in the lane.
Spoiler zone:
Susan’s and Gaby’s story where merged together in this episode of Desperate Housewives DVD. When Gaby found out, through Carlos’ co-worker, that Mike had borrowed money from Carlos, she went to Susan’s house to see how she was doing. However, when Susan showed Gaby an expensive piano (which Susan had inherited but told Gaby that Mike bought it for her) Gaby snapped at Desperate Housewives seasons 1-5 DVD boxset, thinking that she had spent Carlos’ money on a piano. When both of them realised what was going on, they decided to mess around with their husbands a bit (mainly because they kept a secret from them). After a dinner, were Carlos was accused of sleeping with Susan and Gaby began to cry in front of Mike, the jig was up and the girl’s confronted their husbands. The whole dinner scene was quite fun to watch. It’s always a guilty pleasure watching the Desperate Housewives DVD act immature and school-like. In the end, Mike told Susan all of the money he owed, and Susan was left trying to pay the bills.
In Desperate Housewives DVD set’s story, Sam is starting to look more and more suspicious. Bree sees him ignoring some lady at the store, and when Bree questions that woman, it turns out it was Sam’s mother. We then find out that Sam’s mother was (Desperate Housewives DVD boxset) not dead and that he had a really bad relationship with her because apparently Rex had sent a note saying that he wanted custody of Sam (which his mother said no to). When Bree confronted Sam, he got mad and broke a vase. The Desperate Housewives DVDstoryline ends with Bree forgiving Andrew and admitting that she is now scared of Sam. I’m really excited to see what happens next. Sam was a small but fun little mystery and I hope it ends that way.
In Desperate Housewives DVD set’s storyline, we get to see how life in her house is with Eddie amongst them. As you might have guessed, it is not a very stable lifestyle. He first freaks out and attacks Porter for calling Lynette a “Desperate Housewives seasons 1-5 DVD boxset” and then tries to contain himself when Tom yells at Lynette. Lynette, however, insists on keeping him because she herself was raised with an alcoholic mom and thus she felt for him. Tom, though, suggested that Eddie should go to therapy and when he did, the therapist told Lynette that he needs to see his mother in order for him to deal with Desperate Housewives DVD more effectively. Of course, when Lynette knocked on his mother’s door, there was no answer (because as we all know, she is dead). A neighbour told Lynette that she hasn’t seen Desperate Housewives DVD set’s mom in quite some time, which leaves Lynette, worried. This mystery is ready to reach its conclusion which looks very promising. I hope that the writer’s keep this storyline till the season finale, and don’t end it in the next episode of Desperate Housewives DVD boxset.
In Desperate Housewives DVD’s story, Patrick proves to her (and to us) that he is up to no good. At the first minutes of the episode, we see him running over Nick Bolen, leaving him injured and in the hospital. Nick warns Angie that she should run away with Danny, but Angie refuses and simply sends Danny away to some camp thing as she stays by Desperate Housewives seasons 1-5 DVD boxset’s side. However, since Nick is staying at the hospital, Angie is home alone. So when she returns home, Patrick is there, threatening her and then asking her to stay at her house. Having Nick in the hospital, and Danny outside the lane and alone, she is forced to say yes. Thus, Desperate Housewives DVD’s era on the lane has just begun!
So, in conclusion, while not all hell broke loose in this traditional “Desperate Housewives DVD boxset” episode, everything is set up for what seems to be, and explosive finale.
