Today's TWoP News: February 10, 2010

Is the snowy weather bumming you out? Cheer up! There's plenty of exciting TV news today that will lift your spirits and some that will make your blood boil. At least anger is better than sadness!

Dr. Drew, Stay Away From Our Teen Moms

Teen Mom turned out to be a pretty great show. We've all got our own opinions about Maci, Amber, Catelynn, and Farrah, but between last night's "Unseen Moments" and last week's finale special, I think we can all agree on one thing: Dr. Drew Pinsky had no business hosting the episodes.

Best Boyfriends (and Husbands) on TV

We don't often get all mushy and romantic over here at TWoP, but it's Valentine's week, the one time of the year when we do have a little bit of a heart. To take advantage of this momentary lapse of cynicism, we decided to spotlight the often underappreciated characters on TV who are really just amazingly wonderful guys we wish we were dating or (dare we dream) married to. If they actually existed, that is.

Today's TWoP News: February 9, 2010

It's a strange news day to be sure, but one thing is certain: MTV is happy they don't have to make a token effort to play music anymore now that they've ditched that part of their logo.

TV on DVD: Tuesday, Februrary 9, 2010 It's uh... really not that exciting for TV DVDs this week. I can't even sugarcoat it. If you care about any of these shows, I'll just say I'm happy you've found your niche in life and just leave it at that.

Celebrity Fit Club: What Exactly Did K-Fed Eat?

Last night, Celebrity Fit Club returned for a new season of Boot Camp and while there's a part of me that still misses Ant and the lazy people not showing up to work out because of their insanely busy schedules of local Best Buy appearances, there's another part of me that really appreciates that this format allows Harvey to go nuts and torture people. Have you seen that obstacle course? That looks actually challenging... and muddy!

Today's TWoP News: February 8, 2010

Yesterday was a big day for TV! Can you believe that the Super Bowl raked in 106.5 million viewers, the largest audience in television history? No wonder I kept getting a busy signal while trying to reach Barney Stinson.

Ashton Kutcher: A Surprisingly Non-Annoying SNL Host With all the Super Bowl excitement yesterday and this morning, I almost completely forgot about this weekend's SNL episode. A surprisingly good one, actually, despite the bounding irrelevance of host Ashton Kutcher and the inexplicable phenomenon that occurs when great musicians like Josh Homme, Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones collaborate to create some of the dullest music ever (also known as the Jackson-McCartney Effect). Here were the highs and lows of the episode.

Super Bowl 2010: The Best and Worst Commercials It was a relatively low-key Super Bowl, commercial-wise, with a couple spots of brilliance coupled with a whole lot of backwards-thinking and/or uninspired shilling. Here are the best and the worst from last night, as we see them. (And for our take on last night's movie trailers, check out Zach's round-up.)

Undercover Boss: Nothing Says Drinking and Celebrating Like a Show About Garbage

I'm still not entirely sure why CBS decided to debut a show like this after the Super Bowl. I get that the game and its ratings provide a massive platform to launch a series, but after a day of drinking, eating way too many carbs and watching guys slug it out on the gridiron, the last thing I need is a "feel-good" reality show to lull me to sleep. This post-game berth should've gone to something funny or filled with action -- and CBS has that covered. A very special football themed Big Bang Theory? That would have been amazing. Heck, a CSI: Wherever that started with an explosion and one of the screaming Who songs that we were subjected to during the half-time show would have been a better match. Instead... there was this.
