Defend This Show: Medium

NBC's Medium is one of those shows that just never grabbed me. It's an intriguing premise, and Patricia Arquette has gotten a fair amount of acclaim (and one Emmy) for her performance as psychic Allison DuBois. But I've never felt compelled to tune in. But now the writers' strike is upon us, and Medium is returning tonight with all-new episodes. So, all you Medium fans, it's time for you to Read more

Defend This: "Trapped in the Closet"

What, exactly, was R. Kelly thinking when he started recording "Trapped in the Closet," his magnum opus (of sorts) that is premiering its latest chapters on IFC this week? Did he think he had a mainstream hit on his hands? Is he playing a joke on us? Does he exist in a bizarre alternate universe where this truly is a quality song/music video/whatever it is? Is he punking the entertainment Read more

Defend This Show: "The Bachelor"


Updated 04/30/07 7:27 AM · Posted by BuzzSugar · 22 comments

I should not like "The Bachelor." I should hate it with a fiery passion. I should especially not like "The Bachelor" right now, because I find this year's eligible man, Andy Baldwin, lacking anything resembling a personality. Why should I want to watch 25 women beg and plead and sell each other out for a chance to date a bland dude who looks like a Ken doll says things like "Gosh, you sure do Read more

Defend This Show: "Dog the Bounty Hunter"

I was delighted to read that "Dog the Bounty Hunter" — A&E's addictive reality show about a bounty hunter named Dog and his impossibly large-bosomed wife — will return for its fourth season on April 10. One of my favorite guilty pleasures, this show might be described as a modern-day white-trash superhero tale set in Hawaii. Spend a few hours with ex-con biker Duane "Dog" Chapman and his Read more

Defend This: Ryan Seacrest

Why is Ryan Seacrest famous? No, really. Why is this short man with the funny haircut and the cheesy smile hosting the most-watched TV show in America, doing red carpet coverage at Hollywood's biggest events and generally making his presence inescapable? This is a dude who looks tiny compared to most of the female "Idol" contestants, who flashed his underwear at the Academy Awards, whose idea of Read more

Defend This Movie: Gladiator

We all love things that others love to hate, whether it's a Counting Crows CD you can't get rid of or your "Degrassi Junior High" boxed set. Now I'm giving you a chance to explain yourselves in a new feature called Defend This. In honor of the fast-approaching 2007 Oscars, I'm devoting this week's Defend This to a recent Best Picture winner that I find baffling: Ridley Scott's Gladiator. Not only Read more

Defend This Album: Pink Floyd's The Wall

Now I'm giving you a chance to explain yourselves in a new feature called Defend This. This week, I'm calling all you Pink Floyd lovers out there to defend the band's 1979 double-album The Wall. I, for one, have spent many hours arguing the merits of this Read more

What's Buzzworthy? Guilty-Pleasure '80s Movies

Today, I launched a new feature on BuzzSugar called Defend This, where I ask you guys to justify your so-bad-it's-good fixations. So I thought I'd devote this week's Buzzworthy challenge to guilty pleasure '80s movies. My top pick has got to be Mannequin, starring Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall, and, of course, Estelle Getty. I rented it so often as a kid that my parents often felt the need to Read more

Defend This Show: "Men in Trees"

We all love things that others love to hate, whether it's a Counting Crows CD you can't get rid of or your "Degrassi Junior High" boxed set. Now I'm giving you a chance to explain yourselves in a new feature called Defend This. (Thanks to YumSugar for the idea.) First up, ABC's Thursday night show "Men in Trees." OK, I admit that my main reason for not watching "Men in Trees" is that I think the Read more
