The League
Vegas Draft

The League returns for another season of juvenile guys taking a fictional competition way too seriously.

The best example of this is the scene in a Vegas strip club, where the guys all but ignore the dancer, until she shows her fantasy football knowledge and pro connections. Then it becomes a bidding war to get private time with her, where Kevin rebuffs her physical advances to talk drafting strategy.

Welcome back! Last week we lost one of the more colorful designers when Casanova was sent home for making resort wear that was too grandmotherly. Does the show still have personality? Read on to find out.

The Morning After
The first thing the men notice is that it appears much quieter without Casanova in the apartment. Michael C. also tells Andy about his eye-rolling during Ivy’s critique, and how Heidi called him out on it. I would have to say that this time around, he kind of took the reigns of villain away from Ivy. But we will talk about that more later.

There’s a new vampire in town! Tonight’s MVV (most-valued vamp) award goes to Candice Accola who rocks it out of the park this episode. As the newly-turned vampire, Caroline Forbes, Candice manages to be equal parts hilarious and heartrending as she struggles to come to terms with what’s happened to her. Elsewhere in Mystic Falls, the Salvatores start sniffing around the Lockwoods, Jeremy needs a big brother, and Bonnie sets Damon on fire.

Jon Hamm to Host SNL Halloween Episode

EW reports that Mad Men’s Jon Hamm will host Saturday Night Live for a third time on Oct. 30, the show’s special Halloween-themed episode. The first time he hosted back in 2008 was also a Halloween show.

Jon made the announcement on last night’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, where he also addressed rumors that he’s been tapped to star as Superman in a new film.

“Unless Superman’s power suddenly was the power of being really old… He’s really good at mall-walking… I may be aged out of that competition,” he joked.

MyTwoCents – Is The Daytime Soap Opera Dead?

Today is a sad day for many soap opera fans, As The World Turns is ending its 54 year run on CBS today. Last year, CBS fans also lost the long running Guiding Light. In a genre that has thrived since the dawn of television (and prior to that radio), many are wondering… Is the daytime soap opera dead?

Before Meredith and Derek fell in love at Seattle Grace, Bobbie Spencer and Noah Drake fell in love at General Hospital. Before Giselle Bundchen graced the covers of magazine, Erica Kane was already a supermodel. Before Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia gave us cheesecake, Alice Horton gave us donuts. Before there were bare buttocks on NYPD Blue, there was love in the afternoon on daytime TV.

TwoCents & Five Questions with Joshua Gomez & Chris Fedak, Chuck

Joshua Gomez & Chris Fedak, Chuck

The fourth season of Chuck is just days away, and the anticipation is through the roof! As we all anxiously await the kickoff, series star Joshua Gomez (Morgan Grimes) and co-creator Chris Fedak joined us to talk about how the dynamic has changed and scoop Morgan’s contentious relationship with Casey.

TheTwoCents: We started out the first season with Chuck having to protect his CIA status from everybody, and now here we are at the beginning of Season 4 and pretty much everybody in the main cast knows that he’s a spy. Do you ever worry about too many people in on the secret or too much out in the open?

This is our first of hopefully many recap and review of Outlaw. The pilot episode was a very entertaining one. The show needs a little polishing, but it’s off to a promising start. I had seen the episode previously, but I still got chills in one part the second time around.

If there are no “objections”, I’ll get right to it. See what I did there?!?
