Looks like The Firm is on the chopping block this season.

The Most Heinous Person on Reality TV This Week

Vinny from The Challenge: Battle of the Exes would've made this week's list if we were positive he had actually torn Mandi's top off (and because he callously ignored Sarah's feelings), but we watched that scene six times and it looks like Mandi may have just bounced out of her shirt. The verdict is unclear, so we'll give him a pass, even if T.J. Lavin didn't.

Parks and Recreation: Who Made the Comedy Grade Last Night?

If I ever get into the acting biz, Parks and Recreation is the first show I'm auditioning for (is this even how people get acting gigs?) because once you're in the Pawnee universe, you're there forever. That crazy DJ that Tom hired to announce his entrances into new places? In "Operation Ann," he's being considered in the search for the person responsible for getting the Valentine's Day dance attendees "wet with sound." That weird friend of April's who always freaks Ben out? He just may be an eligible suitor for Ann! It doesn't hurt that my memory for extremely minor characters is freakishly good, but I love every appearance we've ever gotten of both DJ Bluntz and Oren... but even then, as soon as you hear their name and see their mannerisms, they are instantly recognizable as the hilarious archetypes they're meant to be. Same goes with all of Pawnee's fine business establishments.

TWoP 10: Best Rivalries on Scripted TV

This weekend during the Super Bowl, the longstanding rivalry between the Giants and the Patriots will come to a head. Again. While we're not really huge fans of the actual sporting event, we do appreciate a good showdown. So, in honor of the big game, we've ranked our favorite rivals (not to be confused with heroes and villains) on scripted TV this season.

First and foremost, if you hate hipsters, this is not the show for you. This isn't a Portlandia situation where you can enjoy the humor through the hipster pretense... this is like trying to watch Jersey Shore if you truly despise gorilla juiceheads.

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so that means we have to sit through more seasons of stale reality cooking shows.

The holidays are long over, but apparently the networks are still feeling generous.

Justified: The Dupe of the Week

Justified: The Dupe of the Week

While Justified always does an artful job of using of violence for the sake of story and character development, the real treat in last night's episode was not the "Shot of the Week," but rather a far less bloody element.

The X Factor: Reality TV Judges Who Could Replace Paula and Nicole

Clearly, hiring music industry professionals was of no help to The X Factor, as demonstrated by the recent axing of judge/mentors Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger (as well as host Steve Jones). Who should replace them? We suggest that Simon Cowell look to already successful reality TV judges -- regardless of whether or not they have experience critiquing singers. While some of these personalities might seem like an odd fit, each one of them would be more fun to watch than the former Laker Girl and Pussycat Doll:
