"Hitched or Ditched" on the CW (Tuesdays at 9 p.m.) isn't as entertaining as I thought it would be. The couples haven't been all that exciting to watch. So far, there's been one ditch and one hitch. Last week, everyone the couple knew was against their marriage and the guy gave his lady the heave-ho at the altar, much to her dismay (they're broken up now). Tonight, they got married -- she was 22 and he was 30 (but still trying to relive his 20s... and teens). The only parts of this show that you need to watch are the first 5 minutes and the last 10. Or not at all.
Heidi and Spencer quit "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" Upon his departure, Spencer said he was too rich and too famous to be on that show. No comment. Their cast mates seemed relieved. It has been rumored that Heidi's sister Holly (also on "The Hills") may join the cast or that Heidi and Spencer are going to try and come back. Sanjaya is doing a lot better than I thought he would!
Conan's big debut last night had its high and low points. Let me break it down:
Yes!
- The remote at Universal Studios where Conan lead a tour was hilarious -- those have always been my favorite Conan features.
- He kept his theme song!
- The new studio is fabulous.
- Conan broke out the string dance (although, an abbreviated version)
No!
- Andy Richter kept talking and laughing loudly in the background. It really grated on the nerves... either get rid of him or turn off his mic after he's done announcing. Let Max talk instead.
- Where was the sketch about the focus group? I was looking forward to that!
- Conan still needs to develop his new signature bits for his "Tonight Show."
Many critics were hating on last night's show but they were being way too nitpicky. I've never seen any episode of Letterman, Leno, etc. that was funny from start to finish, where every joke was a knee-slapper, every interview was enthralling and every sketch was perfection. Why would anyone expect that?
