Rocker Gene Simmons Joins The Reality Show Craze
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Reality, Cable, Talent,
Almost everyone is getting their own series these days. Gene Simmons is the latest rock-and-roller to join the craze, joining the likes of Tommy Lee and Ozzy Osbourne.
Gene Simmons’ Family Jewels, featuring Simmons; his partner, Shannon Tweed, a former Playmate of the Year, actress, and model; and their kids, Nick and Sophie. Dubuc described the kids as “articulate, funny, and bright,” which contrasts with their “wild and crazy” parents. This project follows a one-hour special on Simmons that aired under the Biography banner. I wonder if Gene will still ‘want to rock ‘n’ roll all night?’

Nip/Tuck Reveals Identity Of The Carver To Disgruntled Fans
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Groans were heard all over TV land when the Carver was unmasked on Tuesday’s episode of Nip/Tuck. For the most part, fans appeared disappointed with the all-too-predictable choice of villain. Turns out, just about anyone would have been more interesting. A much bigger shocker was the psychotic behavior of Ariel’s father, who seemed just as vicious as The Carver ever did. Some things most fans seemed to like were the return of Cherry Peck, the reconciliation of Julia and Sean, Christian’s show of loyalty to his partner and best friend, and Matt’s stepping away from the dark side. Although The Carver was revealed, Nip/Tuck couldn’t leave the viewers with looming questions. Alas, we have to wait until next season to find out: Will Kimber change her mind? What is wrong with Julia’s baby? Did Matt and Cherry really commit murder? Disappointments aside, this is one show viewers will be tuning in to next season.

Nip/Tuck To Reveal Identity Of The Carver
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Finally. The moment Nip/Tuck fans have been waiting two whole seasons for: the identity of The Carver will be revealed Tuesday, December 20th. The Carver, a serial rapist/murderer, has aimed most of his crimes at Sean McNamara and Christian Troy, plastic surgeons who provide the ‘beauty’ that The Carver despises. It’s not only the suspense that will have fans tuning in to FX at 10p.m. for the two hour season finale. Many of the show’s watchers are simply weary of the story line, and are eager for it to be over. So much of the show has focused on The Carver lately that many people feel the best characters are being overlooked. Whatever your motivation, be sure to tune in to FX for the big reveal.
