“As soon as we get to this place, we’re enemies.”
Imagine a family film with vague likenesses to both Willy Wonka and the Goosebumps series, that manages to strike many chords of relevancy in a digital world… You have Max Winslow and the House of Secrets.
Atticus Virtue (Chad Michael Murray) is a billionaire tech genius – Max Winslow opens with a series of newscasts, almost in propaganda form, celebrating the life and career of this individual. But he isn’t the main character. In fact, there are at least five characters with greater importance. Maxine Winslow (Sydne Mikelle) – the titular character – is one of five lucky, but quite varied teens, fortunate enough to be selected to...

Sass, skepticism and smarm are the trademarks of Chelsea Handler, America.s fiercest little late night host. "After Lately" is a a 'Larry Sanders'-ized approach to what a fan might imagine the behind-the-scenes are for the sardonic E! host, but unfortunately for E!, Sunday night is the fiercest little night in all of TV programming. Premiering tonight, Sunday night at 11 on E!, .After Lately.. is a send up sitcom filmed 'Office' style of writer situations, fan situations and a cast of characters that include Jeff Wild, Chris Franjola, Brad Wollack, Heather McDonald and the fan favorite, Handler aide-de-camp, Chuy Bravo. .After Lately.. is a mockumentary series that follows Handler and her staff as they plan and execute the nightly E!

Tonight, Jason Momoa is on "Conan." I don't actually have any comments about that, I just figured I'd lead off with it because apparently Mr.Momoa is how you generate page views round these parts lately. Also the season finale of "Masterchef" which a lot of you apparently feel very strongly about and a few of those shows that revolve around auctions or pawn shops. I find it interesting that the American 'get rich quick' scheme seems to change every few years. Forever ago it was internet start ups, then more recently flipping houses, now it seems to be finding valuables in discarded or otherwise seemingly worthless junk. I'm sure that if I were a sociologist I'd find something significant there but I'm not. Y'all are free to discuss at will though. Here's your Tuesday night TV:
8:00pm: "Cupcake Wars" on Food Network
"It's Worth What?" on NBC.
"Masterchef" on Fox.

Kat Von D announced via Twitter that she and Jesse James were splitting up, and then said that out of respect for their families she would say no more and thanked us for respecting that.
Chelsea Handler said no thank you to respecting anything and threw it up for discussion on the 'Chelsea Lately' (Weeknights, 11Pm Et on E!) roundtable.
Jeff Wild determined that Von D must hate her father based on the men she's dating, while Jo Koy imagined how dimwitted and yet very civil their breakup must have been. But it was Natasha Leggero who provided the most intriguing insight.
"They're an interesting couple because they're both two hangers-on," she said. "There's no celebrity to anchor that relationship."

Apparently Tuesday night should be temporarily renamed Gordon Ramsay night for the time being, because there are three shows hosted by the foul-mouthed Brit airing tonight. Two of them are on Fox, one of them is on Bbca and one of the ones on Fox ("Masterchef") directly competes with the one one Bbca ("Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape"). I'm completely impressed that the man has managed to create this kind of media empire out of being kind of a salty British chef (and really, is there any other kind? I think 'salty' applies to all chefs, regardless of nationality). I know he won't be the reigning favorite celebrity chef around these parts unless Anthony Bourdain forswears television, but I guess he's not a bad back-up. Here's your Tuesday night TV:
8:00pm: "Cupcake Wars" on Food Network
"Hell's Kitchen" on Fox
"History Detectives" on PBS

"Weeds" returns tonight and I've seen most of the first season of that show but not much beyond that. I know that Nancy is one of those characters on TV that people love to hate since her chosen profession keeps driving her and her family further down the road of reprehensible behavior yet they like to maintain some sort of air of superiority. Or at least that was the last I'd heard of the whole mess, has it changed any? Those of you still watching, are you just watching because you find Mary-Louise Parker kind of dreamy? Are you in the habit of mistaking Justin Kirk for the guy who played Sheriff Don Lamb in "Veronica Mars" and thus watching "Weeds" out of misguided loyalty? (I'm not telling you how long it took me to realize they weren't the same guy. Nope.) In any case, please feel free to discuss.

I have a bit of a dilemma tonight. There are several new summer series that have premieres tonight and most of them are fine and will just become objects of my scorn as the weeks wear on and I have to face the grim fate of writing about shows no one cares about Again some more. However, that's my job description, not the problem; the problem is that one of these shows stars a woman whose name has been banned from the site. So, the question is do I bother to get a dispensation to discuss that show specifically or simply dance around it and for now, it amuses me to dance around it. the woman is famous for a "leaked" sex tape from a few years ago, her name doesn't start with K, and this is (at my count) her third go at a reality series. Neither of the...

Tonight features the reality shows of Sinbad, Toni Braxton and Family, and Toya who is... famous for apparently one single from 2001. I'm beginning to question the qualifications for having your own reality series, seems like back in the day you had to at least pop out an extraordinary number of babies to get a camera crew to follow your every movement. Now not having any sort of notable career for the last decade seems to be the new benchmark, unless you're in Miami when that's just a reason to run for Mayor. (Seriously.) I'm not mad at these people for getting their own shows, good on them for managing to get a paycheck on a name that hasn't been news in years, I'm just wondering what audience is like "You know what I really want to see? A show about Sinbad's family. That would be just perfect." If you are...

As I write this column (at 10:52am Eastern Time) the Us is on the verge of a government shut down. The last time this happened was in 1996 under Bill Clinton and I don't really remember it too well because I was in elementary school at the time. My biggest concern was whether or not the shut down meant the schools would close too. That answer was no, so I stopped caring immediately. This time I care a little more but I find that every time I start reading too much about what is essentially a giant pissing contest between the two parties I just get angry that it seems like none of the legislators are interested in acting in the best interests of Americans, they're just looking to score some talking points for their reelection campaign which never actually begins or ends, it's just a constant process. Anyway, with...

Christian Slater's new show premieres tonight and I realized I'd seen him in a few new shows in the past couple of years so I checked. In the last three years Christian Slater has been the lead in three different television series. 2008 gave us "My Own Worst Enemy" which lasted all of nine episodes. 2009 gave us "The Forgotten" which lent itself to all sorts of bad puns yet continued through 2010 and boasted a total of 17 episodes before disappearing from the airwaves. Tonight we see the premiere of "Breaking In" where Slater will no doubt play a wise-cracking hard ass of some variety who mayhaps has a soft side. I'm not sure yet, we'll have to see. In between all that unsuccessful television Mr.Slater has been keeping busy, since he currently has 8 other projects listed as completed or in post-production and one more in pre-production. I'm not kidding, look for yourself.

I've spent a good portion of today half convinced it was Thursday. I'm sure this happens to everyone now and again, the persistent feeling that it's a different day than it really is, but seeing as how I'm going out of town on Thursday and I haven't even finished packing yet this particular bit of cognitive dissonance is more confusing than usual and is causing me the occasional mild panic until I remember that it's not freaking Thursday and I maybe need some more coffee. This is similar to those times that I wake up from a dream where I slept through my alarm by hours only to realize that it's still dark out and I begin to wonder if my brain is driving me crazy and then I think "how can one's own brain drive them crazy?" and then I realize that my brain can totally tell I'm onto its plan.

Paula Deen, she of the feathered hair, love of butter, ham promotion, and a growing Food Network empire, is apparently kind of a fun chick to hang out with. This past weekend was the South Beach Food and Wine Festival which I completely ignored because I don't feel like spending upwards of $250 to watch celebrity "chefs" cook in front of large crowds of tipsy tourists. However, I found out today that Paula Deen's presentation featured lots of wine, and subsequently Ms.Deen herself licking cream off the abs of "Restaurant: Impossible" star and former Pajiba After Dark header boy Robert Irvine before deciding to ride him like a pony. After the antics of Charlie Sheen this past week, it's kind of nice to see a television personality getting tipsy and acting like a silly college girl rather than like an egotistic asshole with a rage problem. And, accordingly, Ms.

This week is really dragging for me for reasons I'm not entirely sure about. Well, I know part of the reason is that I'm waiting on a delivery that should be happening today that you'll all be sure to hear about if I do get it on time. Other than that, I suppose it's just one of those weeks where you get to the end of Tuesday and you're like "Wait, it was Tuesday?!? Only?!? I still have three more days to go?" because that's what I did yesterday. So that's what's on my mind, and here's your Wednesday night TV:
8:00pm: "American Idol" on Fox
"Live to Dance" on CBS. First season finale.
"The Middle" on ABC
"Minute to Win It" on NBC
"Nova: Sciencenow: How Smart are Animals?" on PBS. Kinda broad, yeah? Especially considering that people are animals. I guess they could title it "How Smart...

Slim pickings on TV tonight as most shows are on hiatus until sometime in January if you're lucky. I suppose this is because people going home for the holidays aren't going to be watching much television because of all that wonderful family time they'll be spending together, but have you met the average American family? Sitting down and watching TV together is probably the closest to "quality time" most families get these days. But I suppose that's what TiVo is for. Here's your Thursday night TV:
8:00pm: "Big Bang Theory" on CBS
"Brew Masters" on Discovery. First season finale.
"Gift of the Magi" on Hallmark. Original telefilm. In case you want to watch one of the most depressing Christmas stories ever to really get you in the mood for the last weekend you can spend combing the Target sales racks before the big day.

Thursday night is always a bit of a debate for me. For one there's a lot of television on that I either watch despite my better instincts or which is actually worth watching And there are also frequently "college night" drink specials available at a wide variety of local establishments near my University But Friday morning is my earliest morning of the week. It's unfair, and a moral struggle every week between being a responsible student or giving into the lure of fun, cheap alcohol, and watching the 19 year olds who just got a good enough fake to get past the bouncer try to hold their liquor. Over the course of the semester I'd say it ends up splitting 50/50 but I tend not to keep close track. Here's the TV you can watch while I struggle with this heavy and terrible important issue:
