GMMR Recap: Veronica Mars - Charlie Don't Surf

Gmmr_logo_7Veronica Mars
Title:
Charlie Don’t Surf
Original Airdate: 10/24/06

Much to Veronica’s dismay, Keith has kindly invited Logan over for a Mars family dinner. With strict instructions to stay clear of any topic that could allude to having seen Veronica naked, Logan tries to be the perfect boyfriend in front of dear old dad. Not to say dinner didn’t go well, but it probably would have gone a bit better if Veronica wasn’t so insistent with her rules of what could and couldn’t be discussed. Anyone else think this scene seemed a bit off? Keith has essentially known Logan for many, many years now, and Logan has been at Veronica’s with Keith on a few occasions, but they are playing it off like the two had never met. I guess this scene was for the newbies. But come on, we are three eps in…throw the newbies in the deep end and let them learn how to swim.

Nip/Tuck: What's So Bad About Lobster Claws?

4619_p By now, we’re all well aware that Nip/Tuck's pretty-boy plastic surgeon Sean has a baby son with lobster-claw hands. This week’s episode centers around the surgery dilemma: To slice or not to slice?

Marlo, the intense and height-challenged nanny, has planted seeds of doubt in Julia’s mind, believing that young infants who undergo surgery face lifelong trauma as a result. And that’s not all Marlo planted -- that was one hell of a passionate kiss he laid on Julia. Can't she and Sean can’t keep their paws off the nannies?

MySpace and DirectTV Cross-Pollinate Like Bunnies

Myworld1_1 Welcome to the future of cross-promotion. Satellite television giant DirecTV has teamed up with the hottest URL on the planet to bring us Project MyWorld, a reality show following three MySpacers as they travel the globe to meet their MySpace friends.

The weekly show is the first program (and probably not the last) to capitalize on the global pop-culture phenomenon that is MySpace. Project MyWorld features three hot chicks (think model-hot) looking to follow their unique MySpace dreams. One wants hot guys, one wants adventure, and the other conveniently wants to find really good unsigned bands. Oh, yes, this is kind of a cross-promotional three-way. Television, Internet, and music gettin’ all kinky together. MySpace gets a ton of free advertising, DirecTV gets to tap into the MySpace mega-market (with a cheap reality show at that), and some lucky musicians get the most important thing in the world: exposure.
