http://www.tvscoop.tv/ Sassy TV news, gossip and reviews. By and for people who like to watch en Copyright 2010 Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:37:35 +0000 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss The weekend! It's here! And, if you live anywhere near me, the weather looks dreadful. This is, of course, a perfect reason to stay inside and settle down with a bottle of drunk juice and a giant bag of crisps and burp rude words at the television set. Let's have a look what's on this weekend.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/what_to_watch_t_179.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/what_to_watch_t_179.html Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:37:35 +0000 Yet more X Factor news? Yes indeed. Simon Cowell has been shot dead by a sparrow with his bow and arrow. No. Wait. That's not the news. The news is that pop-pipsqueak Paloma Faith has said that she would like to appear as a guest judge on The X Factor. Wouldn't we all?]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/paloma_faith_wa.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/paloma_faith_wa.html X-Factor Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:26:28 +0000 The X Factor continues apace, but it really hasn't been the same without Cheryl Cole has it? Her stand-ins have veered from plain rubbish to reasonable. There's something rather sweet about Cole and her little strops at Simon Cowell when he's being arsey.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/cheryl_cole_to.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/cheryl_cole_to.html X-Factor Fri, 24 Sep 2010 14:09:43 +0000 American Idol is a strange ol' show. It's like The X Factor in every way, yet somehow, isn't nearly as good. Maybe it's because they don't focus enough of stroppy girls and mental, dead-eyed people. Thankfully, they've rectified that by hiring Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler who will join Randy Jackson as judges on the show next season!]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/jennifer_lopez.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/jennifer_lopez.html TV News Thu, 23 Sep 2010 16:52:56 +0000 What is it about gangsters that we like so much? Is it because we see them as impossibly handsome, lean blokes in sharp suits who are hard-as-nails and live the high life with nice quiffs? Well, yes. When you put it like that, it's impossible to dislike them - unless one is shooting you in the face.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/goodfellas_the.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/goodfellas_the.html Coming Soon... Thu, 23 Sep 2010 16:44:34 +0000 Even when The Simpsons is rubbish, it's still better than most things on the box. If you don't agree, then you're utterly, utterly joyless and, most likely, completely spoiled because of The Simpsons. With that, it's hardly surprising that it has been reported that it's the most successful television brand of all time with global DVD and merchandising sales of more than $8bn (£5.1bn), according to a survey of industry experts.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/the_simpsons_is.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/the_simpsons_is.html TV News Thu, 23 Sep 2010 16:29:47 +0000 Have you seen The Inbetweeners? It's terrible. It's a barrel scraper of a show which, unfathomably, continues to be incredibly popular, despite the fact that it is, quite clearly, lazy and uninspired. In the face of all this, it has still managed to win best sitcom at Rose d'Or television festival.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/the_inbetweener.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/the_inbetweener.html Comedy TV News Thu, 23 Sep 2010 16:16:35 +0000 Channel 5 have replaced Colin Murray with Jim Rosenthal for their football coverage. And yes, he does look a bit like The Count from Sesame Street. Doesn't look like a bad trade off for the broadcaster from our point of view.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/colin_murray_re.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/colin_murray_re.html Wed, 15 Sep 2010 16:05:33 +0000 The ASA watchdog has banned an anti-BSkyB ad campaign run by rival Virgin Media after the Murdoch's crew complained it was misleading and denigratory. And quite cheeky and funny too.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/virgin_get_slap.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/virgin_get_slap.html TV News Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:41:27 +0000 Cynicism is something that we at TV Scoop deal with in bucketfuls... however, some of you lot really take the biscuit. Apparently, you've all been moaning and complaining about Derren Brown's show 'Hero at 30,000 Feet', presumably, completely missing the point of a show based on deception and trickery.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/joyless_gits_pr.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/joyless_gits_pr.html TV News Wed, 15 Sep 2010 15:30:15 +0000 Robot Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich have revealed more details of the upcoming comedy series based on the Star Wars films. If you haven't seen their parodies of Star Wars, then really, you're missing out. They're fantastic!]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/robot_chicken_c.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/robot_chicken_c.html Coming Soon... Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:52:39 +0000 David Hasselhoff - a man who ate food off the floor whilst drunker than George Best's gouty toe - has played down his chances of winning the Mirrorball Trophy on Dancing With The Stars. That's nice, because he probably won't win.]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/david_hasselhof_1.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/david_hasselhof_1.html TV News Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:36:28 +0000 Simon Cowell has a hunch that Cher is going to be a big pop star. Of course, we're not talking about the haunted pensioner, Cher, but rather, the girl called Cher Lloyd who appeared on The X Factor who belted out a version of 'Turn My Swag On'. She's painfully thin looking though, isn't she?]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/cowell_predicts.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/cowell_predicts.html X-Factor Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:23:27 +0000 Hello weekend! How everyone has missed you! You alright? Are you going to let us not work for a few days? That's nice. So. What's on telly then?]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/what_to_watch_t_178.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/what_to_watch_t_178.html Fri, 10 Sep 2010 16:44:28 +0000 Likeable but ultimately not very funny comic, Mark Watson, has been given a new programme on ITV4. The show is a sports panel thing and is called Kicks Off. You can probably imagine exactly what the show will be like. ]]> http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/mark_watson_get.html http://www.tvscoop.tv/2010/09/mark_watson_get.html Comedy Coming Soon...
