Peep Show series 9 continues in fine form as Mark hosts a hellish dinner party and Jeremy's game of genital Jenga comes tumbling down...
This review contains spoilers.
9.3 Threeism
Three episodes in, Peep Show's final series is proving to be a great bookend to one of the best comedies to grace British TV in years. It looks as though the El Dude brothers are going out in style.
Although both episodes leading up to Threeism were great, neither peaked in their final moments. Super Hans’ wedding and Jerry’s decampment didn’t crescendo out of Peep Show’s characteristically backwards algebra of self-delusional logic. Threeism, on the other hand, built steadily towards a big payoff. By the time we’d reached the halfway point, everything was in place for a long, hilariously uncomfortable evening of sexual indiscretion and relationship sabotage.
The excruciating dinner party set-up is a familiar...

Lauren Goodger thinks Mark Wright's 'Strictly Come Dancing' performances are ''embarrassing''. The former 'Only Way is Essex' star admits she can't bear to watch her former boyfriend in action on the ballroom dance contest because his routines have been so cringe-worthy. Speaking to the new issue of heat magazine, she said ''It's embarrassing. I mean, what is he doing? I watch and can't stop laughing at his dancing and the faces he pulls. I don't know why he does it - he looks silly.'' Mark found himself close to leaving the competition two weeks ago, prompting him to break down in tears, and...

There is no harsher "Dancing with the Stars" elimination than one that comes after achieving a high score. Christina Milian and Mark Ballas tied for the highest score of the night -- 28 points -- in week 5. But when it came time for the results, Christina and Mark were sent home.
Apparently, not very many people voted for them.
This marks the first time in "DWTS" Season 17 that popularity has been the deciding factor in sending someone home. The first three eliminations were, after all, of dancers with low scores. Valerie Harper and Bill Nye even got to stay longer than their scores would indicate, thanks to votes from viewers.
The opposite effect seems to be what sank Christina.
It was "Most Memorable Year" night in the ballroom, and Christina and Mark seemed to be unstoppable in their opening-number cha-cha. The couple earned 28 points and high praise from the judges --...

Having the lowest scores of the night -- and with low scores throughout the "DWTS" competition -- it wasn't much of a surprise when Victor Ortiz and Lindsay Arnold were eliminated from "Dancing with the Stars" week 6.
The couple only managed to earn 18 points for their solo dance this week and were on the losing team during the group dances. When you mix that with the fact that Victor and Lindsay had been in jeopardy almost every week lately, Victor and Lindsay were the obvious choices to go.
The rest of the results
Early on in the show, top scorers Kellie and Derek found out that they were safe. Aly and Mark found out mere seconds later.
Zendaya and Val got their results a little bit later -- of course they were safe. Sean and Peta, however, landed in jeopardy in the same group.
It wasn't until after the half-hour...

When Emmy nominations are announced, the conversation tends to turn immediately to those who were snubbed. This year, though, on Thursday morning when the Academy released its nominees list, there was a refreshing reason to celebrate: Jason Ritter snagged a first-time nomination for his guest-starring role as Mark Cyr on the criminally underrated "Parenthood."
Ritter tells Zap2it that, as a longtime part of the television community, he tends to be aware of Emmy nomination morning, mostly, he says, so that he can check on his friends and send congratulatory texts. Today, hough, he'd completely forgotten about the announcements -- which made for a rather unnerving morning.
"This is the first time that I've completely forgotten that it was this morning. There was no part of my brain that was like, 'Oh, someone's calling me at 6 a.m.! It might be that!' My first thought was that it was...

Dancing with the Stars Season 14 Semifinals: Katherine Jenkins Injures Back
Dancing with the Stars moved one step closer to crowning the champ of Season 14. In the semifinal round, the remaining 4 contestants competed for spot in the finals. In yesterday’s article I said there would be show stoppers, but I meant exceptional performance elements. Not the buckets of tears and injuries that seemed to top the leaderboard.
Rough childhoods, bad breakups and hard times dominated the video packages, leading most of the contestants (save for William) to cry before their dances. Derek Hough suffered a back injury during rehearsals and it couldn’t even be confirmed before show time that he would actually dance. Maria Menounos is always injured so nothing new there. They told viewers that three doctors were on the Dancing with the Stars set Monday to help see them through. Then there was the debacle Katherine and...

The Only Way Is Essex star Lauren Goodger has denied reports that she cheated on former fiancé Mark Wright. The reality TV couple announced their separation yesterday, just five months after becoming engaged. The split is believed to have been caused by rumours that Wright cheated on Goodger with his ex Lucy Mecklenburgh over the summer, though sources yesterday alleged that the 24-year-old model had been unfaithful too. "Mark found out Lauren had been cheating on him with another guy and she was kissing and getting close to (more)...

The regular TV season has come to a close and while some finales have got us talking more than others (like that heartbreaking and awesome "House" ep), we still have a lot to say, so this week, we've selected a few series and will compare their 2010 season ender to their 2009 season ender.
We'll tell you which hour we feel was better, but we'll also have you vote on which one you think was tops.
So, without further ado, "Grey's Anatomy"...
"Here's To Future Days"/"Now or Never" (2009): Bailey got the pediatrics fellowship, but her husband told her if she accepted it, he would leave her. Bailey asked Richard if there were still spots in general surgery -- she left her husband, but was unsure if she could handle the new fellowship while dealing with the dissolution of her marriage.
Derek and Meredith were inspired by Alex and Izzie and...

(S01E22) While it was by no means perfect, the 'FlashForward finale did a great job of setting up the potential fun of future seasons that will never be. As a series finale, it didn't really accomplish as much as I would have liked.
While last week, it was all about our various cast members putting themselves into situations that would seem to make it impossible for them to be in place for their flashforwards at 10Pm Pt, this week was an exploration of just how much you can alter what fate has foretold for you.
Mark found out when the next blackout would occur, which was one of the better surprises on the night. It did, however, set up one of the most implausible situations of the entire series so far. But, it also got the sci-fi fanboy in me excited about what could have been.

Hayley Newton and Mark Calape have become the third pair to be voted off BBC’s So You Think You Can Dance.
Hayley and Mark found themselves in the bottom four alongside Mandy Montanez Tommy Franzen and after all four had performed their solo routines, the judges had to choose one male and one female to save.
Of the girl’s final dance, Nigel said:
“The judges are unanimous – unanimous in believing it’s getting tougher every week too. I can say there’s very little difference between the two of you but we have to make a decision so we’ve done that”
“Mandy you’re a mature dancer. We think you’ve got great strength. We think you understand the demands of this show and we think for us you won’t always meet the demands of...
