"Candy Richards" | TV Show Recaps | 2/20/2008
Back on November 14, 2006, when we saw the future lives of the Nip/Tuck characters, I mostly praised the episode since it was such a pleasant change of pace. What I wasn't thinking at the time was how unfortunate it would become as a viewer that we know exactly what will become of the characters. So Julia got shot last week — so what? We know that she survives since she was in the future episode. So Christian and Annie got in a car crash caused by paparazzi this week. We knew immediately... read more be the first to leave a comment

That ending was a real bang, wasn't it? Oh, Julia. If you're going to buy a gun for self-protection, protect yourself by hiding it from others. All Eden the skank needed to do was find that damn gun in Julia's bedroom. I knew that as soon as Julia told Eden that she figured everything out — that Eden was the one who was the cause of her mysterious illness — Eden wasn't going to react in a good way. How about the timing of Julia receiving her follicle lab results that clearly included... read more be the first to leave a comment
"Lulu Grandiron" | TV Show Recaps | 2/6/2008
As I've been quite verbal about in the past, I was a huge Knots Landing fan. So after reading about this episode and then seeing the coming attractions last week, I was, needless to say, excited. I mean, how could I not be? Donna Mills was portraying a rich Beverly Hills socialite named Lulu Grandiron and she and her friends married wealthy high-powered execs, "divorced them and then took all their money." And adding to a true Knots fan's delight, one of those friends (Annette) was played by... read more be the first to leave a comment
"Rachel Ben Natan" | TV Show Recaps | 1/16/2008
After a four-week break, it was nice to revisit the adventures of our favorite fantastically plastic duo. Too bad we still don't know what Eden put in that dang fruitcake four weeks ago. All we know is that it gives Julia spontaneous nosebleeds, which just makes Christian pout about being deprived of sex with his best friend's ex. Speaking of Eden, how lovely to have a completely Eden-free episode! Sure, the skank returns next week, but it was pleasant to get through an entire hour without her.... read more be the first to leave a comment
"Damien Sands" | TV Show Recaps | 12/5/2007
After weeks of dark-themed episodes, it was a pleasant diversion to watch this "Nip/Tuck special event," as the promos announced. If any show can make fun of itself via a copycat reality-show version, it's this one. I loved that it started and ended like a regular episode, but that the entire, approximately 40-minute middle portion was the reality-show replica called "Plastic Fantastic." And yes, I thought it was fantastic. Fantastically hilarious, that is. Did you notice that there was no... read more be the first to leave a comment
"Everett Poe" | TV Show Recaps | 11/14/2007
Just as I had heard, this third episode had more drama and less comedy than the first two episodes. As anyone who lives in Los Angeles can attest, it's not all sunshine and lollipops all the time here in La-La-Land. So I was not surprised at the tone throughout most of this hour. It didn't mean there weren’t any zingers every now and then, thanks to two of my favorite Nip/Tuck writers, Lyn Greene and Richard Levine (Richard also directed the episode). I'll get to some of those great lines... read more be the first to leave a comment
"Joyce & Sharon Monroe" | TV Show Recaps | 11/7/2007
Once again, seeing Christian and Sean in their new Hollywood surroundings hit home for me. Our TV Guide corporate offices are directly across the street from Grauman's Chinese Theatre, so we see those celebrity look-alike characters every day. As soon as I saw Fat Elvis appear in this episode, I said out loud: "Yes! Fat Elvis!" Coincidental side note: I shared an elevator with Fat Elvis this morning — I swear (but the one used in the show was a different one, played by actor James Price).... read more be the first to leave a comment
"Carly Summers" | TV Show Recaps | 10/31/2007
Why hello, strangers. It's been ages since I've blogged about this show (10.5 months, to be exact). I'm hoping that most of you will agree that the Season 5 premiere was well worth the wait, especially after all the hype and advance publicity (awesome job, by the way, FX). After four seasons in Miami, it was a welcome change of pace seeing our favorite nippers and tuckers start anew in our country's plastic-surgery capital, Los Angeles. As we expected, Christian (Julian McMahon) and Sean (Dylan... read more be the first to leave a comment
Nip/Tuck: A Fresh Start in L.A. | Matt Roush | 7/12/2007
Just when you thought you'd had your fill of those over-the-top plastic surgeons on FX's Nip/Tuck, they've shaken things up and moved those hot docs Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) and Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) to the world capital of face-lifts and body augmentation, Los Angeles, for the fifth season. (The first of 22 new episodes will premiere in October; it hasn't yet been determined how this season will be broken up.)Series creator Ryan Murphy took the stage Thursday at a Television... read more be the first to leave a comment
December 12, 2006: Gala Gallardo (Season 4 Finale) | TV Show Recaps | 12/13/2006
I don't know about you, but unlike last year's Carver-involved finale, I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's season finale and its ending with Christian surprisingly joining Sean in L.A. And I, of course, will tell you just why I enjoyed it:Bye-bye, Escobar, it's been nice knowing ya: I was overjoyed that Escobar was finally killed, and not by Liz. For a brief moment, I really thought Liz was going to pull the trigger. It would've been a good way to get revenge on the person responsible for her lack... read more be the first to leave a comment
December 5, 2006: Willy Ward | TV Show Recaps | 12/6/2006
Weeks ago, when Escobar said goodbye to Sean and told him, "We're even now," and that he wouldn't be back, you knew that was too good to be true. Tonight, after James shot herself to death, you knew that would not be the end of Michelle's troubles. But who knew James would be working for Escobar? Nice twist. Now Escobar wants Michelle to take over for James. That's not going to fit into Christian and Michelle's perfect new family life with little Wilber. We all knew as soon as Michelle got into... read more be the first to leave a comment
November 28, 2006: Reefer | TV Show Recaps | 11/29/2006
So, right away I was thinking: "It's not even December — why are we getting a Christmas episode already?" Then I remembered that we only have two more episodes left for this season, the season finale airs as early as December 12, and December begins this Friday. Happy holidays! Actually, this episode was more like Halloween meets Christmas. I'd like to officially place Jacqueline Bisset's James character in the category of TV's all-time creepiest characters. As soon as Sean asked Reefer... read more be the first to leave a comment
October 31, 2006: Liz Cruz | TV Show Recaps | 11/1/2006
You knew it was inevitable that Michelle would maneuver Burt's death, but I didn't think it would be so soon. I was really digging Larry Hagman in the role, but this doesn't mean he can't come back for some fabulous Nip/Tuck dream sequences. When Michelle told Francis the nurse to go home and that she'd take care of giving Burt his pills, I knew Michelle was lying. Poor Burt had to crawl out of bed and attempt the stairs by himself just to try to take those dang pills. Too late. Burt died a... read more be the first to leave a comment
October 17, 2006: Burt Landau | TV Show Recaps | 10/18/2006
It's been a while since we've gotten an episode with a happy ending. Of course, the heartwarming end came after an hour sprinkled with evil, so it was quite worth it. Let me first say that I was surprised when Christian admitted to Kimber that he was just using her for sex. The "using Kimber for sex" part was not what threw me — it was that he was so cruel about it. All this time Christian's been wooing and romancing Michelle, I’ve been thinking that Kimber is who he's truly in love... read more be the first to leave a comment
September 19, 2006: Monica Wilder | TV Show Recaps | 9/20/2006
First things first: A.C. Slater's got a nice ass! Did I ever think I'd type that anywhere? I suppose that's what you get when you spend most of your time Dancing with the Stars and being Bold & Beautiful. I think you'll all agree that Mario Lopez has aged quite well. Whether I buy him as a plastic surgeon is a different story. I did like that Mario's character, Dr. Mike, told Christian how he's able to look so good (besides working out every day): "I don't eat." And more dialogue I found... read more be the first to leave a comment
September 12, 2006: Blu Mondae | TV Show Recaps | 9/13/2006
I figured right away that I'd like this episode after I heard "Hot Child in the City" by Nick Gilder (a song I've performed at several karaoke joints here in L.A.) being played at the strip club that Christian was frequenting. Oh, Christian. Brooke Shields suggested he might be gay last week so, of course, he heads to the strippers. We all knew that as soon as Blu Mondae (former Playboy playmate Angela Little) found out Christian was a plastic surgeon, they'd be in bed together, and, poof cut... read more be the first to leave a comment
