This currently-heading-viral faux commercial is heavily reminiscent of 90s hyperactive ads for the likes of CapriSun, Nerf and Bagel Bites… mutated and subverted into neon nightmare fuel. Produced by RocketJump and directed by Dez Dolly, Liquid Slam reimagines the CapriSun Alex Mack silver stuff via Cronenberg’s The Fly. It’s bright, it’s loud, it’s gross. Have fun.

Yes, Comedy Central’s Broad City—the show that Girls would be, if Girls were funny—still isn’t returning until January 2015. The good news: In the meantime, you can whet your appetite for all things Abbi and Ilana with their new webseries, Hack into Broad City—which is basically the show itself, shortened and boiled down to its most essential elements (Abbi, Ilana, weed, friendship).
In the series’ second episode, premiering exclusively on EW.com, the broads do some housework (Abbi’s cleaning out her fridge; Ilana is… cleaning a pair of boobs?) and chat about everything from old...

Dear Once Upon a Time,
You did it. You managed to completely shock me. Hats off to you!
I’ll admit, I’ve stuck with this show for three seasons — despite an increasingly silly family tree, deaths that don’t stick (except when they do), an absurd amount of loyalty flip-flopping, an unnecessary amount of attention paid to the most ill-matched couple on television (give it up, Belle; nobody’s buying it), and other mind-boggling headscratchers (like where Smee gets his beanies) that make me question whether I really want to admit in public how much I love Once.

On Jan. 19, E! premiered its newest guilty pleasure #RichKids of Beverly Hills, which will immediately be either your favorite new TV show or the most obnoxious program you’ve ever seen. I’m personally a fan of horrible people doing fabulous things (or fabulous people doing horrible things, which is pretty much the same thing anyway), so I’m reluctantly on board for this trashy romp through the luxurious world of Beverly Hills twentysomethings.
While the show purports to follow a cast of spoiled brats, the #RichKids at its core are Dorothy and Morgan, two high-living do-nothings who are alarmingly self-aware in their preposterousness.

Attention, children of the '90s: The Internet has provided us with yet another way to relive our childhoods, and this one's even cooler than nostalgia programming blocks on Nick at Nite: Nick Reboot, a new website that's livestreaming vintage Nickelodeon shows -- commercials included! -- for your viewing pleasure.
The shows logged on the site originally aired between the early '90s and the early '00s, so there's a wide range of programming to be had. There's "Roundhouse," "You Can't Do That on Television," and "Finders Keepers" on one end, and "The Fairly Odd Parents," "As Told By Ginger," and "The Wild Thornberrys" on the other.
It's a particularly great resource for shows like "The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo," "Space Cases," "What Would You Do?" or "The Secret Word of Alex Mack," beloved shows that haven't aired anywhere recently and are hard to find on DVD. There's...

There's been a lot swirling recently about what's happening with Megan Draper on "Mad Men." Is she pregnant? Is she Sharon Tate? Was she really in "Hot Tub Time Machine"? But one of the underrated elements of Megan (Jessica Pare) this season has been her role in the slow and subtle demise of the Draper marriage.
Everyone is caught up in whether or not she's going to die -- she's not, according to Matt Weiner -- but I think the real angle as this season plays out could be found more in how she exists within her marriage to Don (Jon Hamm).
Here are a few reasons why Don might not be the only one cheating in this marriage.
1. Cuckolded by Her Career
In a sense, she's been cheating on Don ever since the end of last season. Regardless of how you feel about the socio-political elements at play within the Draper relationship,...

As the greatest minds of our generation have said, time and time again: the first rule of fight club is that you do not talk about fight club, not even if you're Summer Glau.
But, luckily, I let my fight club membership lapse (I forgot to send the renewal slip in on time), so I am ready and able to talk my head off about "Kekoa (Warrior)."
A lively, nicely-paced episode, "Kekoa (Warrior)" stripped things down to basics - no high-tech weapons or elaborate conspiracies, just straight-up bad guys, people getting kicked in the face and someone hitting on Steve's mom.
Though it didn't quite provide the high-stakes drama of recent episodes like "Hookman" or "Hana I Wa'la (Scandal)," I thought the hour was very effective, in no small part due to Glau's turn as Maggie, the mourning daughter/ martial arts bad-ass.

Note: Do not read on unless you've seen Season 3, Episode 12 (the mid-season finale) of ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars," entitled "The Lady Killer."
When this highly-anticipated episode started, I will not pretty little lie to you, I was not happy. We see the ambulance that has been teased since last week, Hanna sobbing, Emily befuddled and it's clear -- this mid-Season 3 finale will start at the end. "It's weak. Been done, Marlene," adds my sister, who I watched the episode with separately from my mom.
But we cried "Lame" too quickly because let me tell you, I was white knuckled and shouting at my TV throughout the latter half of this truly frightening mid-season finale.
After the theme song, the show picks up two days earlier at the Phh (Parentless Hastings House), where Spencer, Aria and Hanna are watching the news. Garrett's case is about to start and Mariska pops up on the screen.

We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including The Newsroom, Political Animals, Bunheads, Project Runway and Glee!
1 | How fantastic has The Newsroom‘s Lisa turned out to be? When first introduced, she seemed like little more than a superficial foil for her journalistic roommate, Maggie. But in this week’s episode, girlfriend stepped up! She schooled Jim about choosing her only because Maggie was unavailable, then held Will accountable — on live TV — for the media’s lopsided coverage of child abuse and abduction cases.

Most gay children probably don't realize they're gay, but if they're anything like I was at age 5-14, they knew exactly what kinds of TV they cared about. And for those of us who came of age in the '90s, Nickelodeon was truly the ne plus ultra of kid programming. The orange-splashed network routinely featured characters who were self-possessed, unashamed, and totally weird. That's the gay kid hallmark right there. Join us as we revisit nine particular characters who thrilled me and many others during the glorious '90s.
Angelica Pickles from Rugrats
The bossiest brat in the playpen happened to be the funniest female cartoon character to appear on TV, let alone Nickelodeon, in years. When three-year-old tantrum expert Angelica debuted on Rugrats in 1991, she reclaimed Lucy Van Pelt's callous humor for little kids everywhere. She was both diabolical and insufferable, and what self-respecting gay child can't relate to that?...

Just weeks after Alex Mack showed up on Mad Men, last night, the show welcomed another nostalgia-inducing guest star into the fold: Dennis Haskins, aka Richard Belding from Saved By The Bell: Haskins played the small but entertaining role of a Cool Whip ‘test kitchen’ scientist with an inordinately casual relationship with his Cool-Whip-students who’s also constantly proctoring weekly Cool-Whip-school dances. (Also, the coolest Cool Whip employee used to be able to stop time and talk to the camera the first couple seasons but then they phased that out.) Next Week On Mad Men – The search for Megan’s replacement comes down to a handful of candidates: Kel, Count Duckula, Small Wonder, Donnie Jeffcoat from Wild And Crazy Kids, Voltron’s left arm, and the fish from Eureeka’s Castle.

This week’s Mad Men episode, “At The Codfish Ball” (titled after Captain Hook’s screams) featured not only a return appearance by grown-up Alex Mack, now a series regular, but also her character’s father, who just so happened to be Leland Palmer, the relentlessly-f***ed-up father from Twin Peaks (aka actor Ray Wise). Needless to say, anyone who’s watched Twin Peaks had the same semi-shocked reaction last night: I’ve enjoyed pretty much every episode of this Mad Men season so far, and this week’s episode was no different, highlighting one of the aspects of Mad Men that the series does particularly (and unfortunately) well: Showing the characters’ unparallelled abilities to find a reason to be depressed in the midst of complete joy. We have four concurrent, happy-turned-depressing stories: Story #1: Abe asks Peggy to move in with her, and Peggy reacts with hushed excitement because...

When we left off in October 1965, all our characters were on the brink of life changing events: Don impulsively proposed to his secretary, Pete just had a baby, Joan is pregnant with Roger's baby and pretending it's Greg's, and Betty was moving into her "not perfect" new house with Henry and the kids. Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce was dealing with the fallout of Don's anti-tobacco ad and Cooper quit! With the 17 excruciating years months between the seasons, the shock of the finale sunk in and these changes became matter of fact as we waited with bated breath (and reruns) to see how far into the future we'd be launched and how it all turned out. Well, it's about nine months later on June 1, 1966 and lives carried on. The time gap is also somewhat synced up with us, season four ended in October of 2010 and it's starting up again in spring.

In my opinionation, the early ’90s were a great time to be a girl. On television, tweens had Clarissa as a guide, teens looked to Blossom, and Murphy Brown provided a blueprint for the professional-to-be in all of us. Perhaps more than any of her contemporaries, though, Blossom Russo (Mayim Bialik) represented the complete package. She was a role model who was still relatable. She could tear it up on the dance floor and had an eye for funky fashion. Even amid personal struggles and rebellious patches, she always managed to work out her differences with friends and family.

The ‘90s are back, and so are your favorite shows. Last night, TeenNick premiered "The ‘90s Are All That," a statement anyone in their twenties or early thirties will most certainly agree with. Twitter has been burning up with love for the classic shows that made Nickelodeon the channel it is today. Shows like "iCarly," "Drake and Josh" and "Victorious" are wildly popular with the younger generation, but it was shows like "All That," "The Amanda Show," "Rugrats," “Clarissa Explains It All” and "Doug" that paved the way and still have a special place in our hearts.
The two-hour run of shows, which air weeknights from midnight to 2Am, is not just a block of programming, it’s a movement. Viewers can "Watch. Discuss. Obsess." on Facebook and Twitter. You can also join the ongoing conversation, keep up with the evolving schedule and catch...

Sick was the best way to describe me this week. Y'all should have seen me in the same room as Bradley Cooper doing the Limitless Press conference, discreetly wiping snot out of my moustache (and what a moustache it has become, my facial-hair fan friends).There was also some "bidness" to take care of over the weekend regarding renewable energy and pregnant woman and the other jobs that abbreviated this column just a smidge.The cool thing that I've been doing all week is re-watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles in preperation of my grand theory of Terminator Timelines. As an i09 editor told me: "I'm pretty sure that exists already," but it's not Mine, dammit (more on that below).I'm a sci-fi fan and it's a great time of year for sci-fi fans, so let's geek out a little bit shall we?

In the best news nostalgic, possibly drunk twenty-somethings have received in the entire past decade, Nickelodeon has announced that it will start re-airing its greatest and most beloved shows from the '90s during its late-night programming block. The delightfully-titled "The '90s Are All That" block will run from midnight until 2 a.m. beginning in the fall, and will air a lineup of classics including Rugrats, Kenan & Kel, Pete & Pete, The Amanda Bynes Show, All That, and Clarissa Explains It All. A truly incredible development in the world of TV, even if Alex Mack is glaringly omitted from the lineup, and even if getting our own version of Nick at Nite means that kids who grew up in the '90s are officially starting to get [...]...

As we come into the tenth episode of the inagural season of Mad Men's Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce, "Chinese Wall" tears down our pre-concieved notions of change. The new agency winds up just as vulnerable as its formation during "Shut The Door, Have a Seat," Peggy finds herself a cog in a man's world and Don, swingin' '60s man that he is, can't resist slicing off a little for himself.
Though of all those who resist adapting to the changing times, Roger Sterling recieve the most focus from "Chinese Wall" let alone the entire season. He covers his own reacting to the news of the agency's largest departure, and seeks comfort from Joan the way he always has, with nothing but a poorly selling book and an artistic rendering from a blissfully ignorant wife to encapsulate his legacy. Mad Men isn't the type to simply abandon the new agency/dynamic after its focus this season,...
