    Whether it’s a reaction to the curated snobbery of prestige television or simply a new low in reality programming and its worship of B-list talent, The Masked Singer kicks off 2019 with such low expectations that everything else--“CSI” reruns, pharmaceutical ads---looks like sophisticated high art in its wake. ... The show’s panelists are the most entertaining aspect of the bizarre spectacle when they shoot high in gradings on the celebrity scale when estimating who’s under the rack of antlers or giant insect head.

    The show’s far more boring than it has any right to be ... So far, the American version is too preoccupied with selling the enormity of the the unmaskings that it doesn’t bother to make sure the rest of the show is particularly interesting at all.

    A prohibitive favorite for worst new TV show of the year didn’t take long to assume that position.

    This is just the stupidest thing I have ever seen, omg. This tells me that the masses will watch whatever is thrown at them. What's so funnyThis is just the stupidest thing I have ever seen, omg. This tells me that the masses will watch whatever is thrown at them. What's so funny about it is that the judges seem to be so into it and of course they would be because they're getting paid monster salaries. Yeah, this is just terrible television and the money could have been better spent elsewhere.… Full Review »

    What's that line in Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?

"This is what the world would be doing on a Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war." Yeah, that's it. Listening to hackey covers by d-list celebrities. WTF is that thing on Nick Cannon's head? It's actually disturbing to see so many extras faking enthusiasm. Who do you have to piss off to get put in that audience? This just made me feel dirty. I mean, you could say, "at least it's not porn," but I still feel like I need a bath after watching this.… Full Review »
