Glee Withdrawals? Welcome to the Gleeks Anonymous Group Therapy Open Thread

Show of hands: who's having the howling fantods this week with no new episode of Glee? I know I am. My name is Snarky Amber and I am a Glee addict.

The 61st Primetime Emmy Awards LIVE Open Thread (8pm ET)

We has NPH. We has teh winez. JOIN US.

Join us here starting at 7pm ET for snarking on E!'s Red Carpet Coverage! See you then!

If you're anything like me, right about now you're re-arranging the living room furniture, polishing the television set, preparing a variety of delicious chips & dips, and counting down the minutes until this Sunday night's premiere of the third glorious season of AMC's Mad Men. [fans self with hand dramatically]

Do you think Don Draper would prefer a three cheese or creamy spinach dip? Hmm?

Yesss mah presshussss, I -- your resident Mad Men recapper -- am chomping at the proverbial bit so hard that I feel I must, for the good of all humankind and the sanity of my loved ones, who are SICK OF TALKING ABOUT THAT STUPID SHOW ALREADY JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY, provide a space for my fellow Mad Men lovers to gush openly without fear of being shamed, judged, or ridiculed. SO.

What are you most looking forward to this season? What theories do you have about what will happen this season? What do you HOPE happens or doesn't happen? Which are your favorite characters? Who would you most like to have a drink with? What characters can't you stand? Who would you most like to punch in the neck? Why are you so obsessed with this show, anyway? Does it make you want to start smoking (again)? Is Jon Hamm my sekrit boyfriend? (The answer to that last one, just so you know, is YES.) Huh huh huh? OMG OMG OMG!1!!!

Please to commence with the shameless fangirl/fanboy squeeing in comments. We're all friends here, this is a safe space.

Hold me?

ETA: OPEN THREAD MAY CONTAIN SHOW GOSSIP, SPOILERS, AND SPECULATION ABOUT HOW GOOD OF A KISSER JON HAMM MAY OR MAY NOT BE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

LOMGST!!!! Join us in comments here to *SPEAK FREELY* before and during tonight's season finale, without getting the smackdown from angry West Coasters!

Since the original thread is getting a leeeeeeetle long and unwieldy as we all post comment after comment about HOW DAMN OLD WE ARE, we're starting over from scratch here!

We're live now, covering the VMAs in all their glory! Pull up a chair and your favorite adult beverage and join us in comments as we watch and snark together, won't you?

I'm just gonna put it out there. Last week's episode of Project Runway SUCKED. Not only did the concept of "Olympic Opening Ceremony Outfits" completely elude everyone but the straight guy, all the designers decided to have hissy fits about the challenge. Very not fierce, guys!

Exclusive video links of this week's episode after the jump, and of course, be sure to join us on the Open Thread tonight at MamaPopTalk!

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means, betches! Join us over at MamaPopTalk tonight at 9 PM Eastern Time for the Project Runway open thread! What adventures will our designers go on this week?

UPDATED!!! Click here to see an exclusive preview of the always fierce Natalie Portman, our special guest for this episode!

O HAI! R U IN OR OUT?

You might not have heard, due to the heeee-yuge dramz between Bravo and Lifetime about Project Runway moving over to "Television for Women, and now Gay Men" next season, but the fifth season of PR begins tonight on Bravo at 9 pm. That's 9:00 PM EST, betches. Yes, they changed the time. No, it makes no sense. Oh, Bravo. So passive aggressive. I thought you were better than that.

Now, I am a relentless spoiler whore, but I gotta tell you, Bravo's hush-hush la-la we-can't hear-you non-promotion of this season is A-ok with me. I love PR so much, and actually want to be surprised when we "see what happens." (Last season on Bravo, people. The catchphrases will die soon.) I can guess wildly that there will be no lack of crying and cutting, taking bitches' dye, trying to not bore Nina, Michael Kors calling something "farty", and of course, Our Lord and Master, Tim Gunn. Tim's back, guys! I feel safer and more stylish already.

So of COURSE, over at MamaPopTalk we will have an open thread tonight. That's TONIGHT AT 9:00 PM EST, no matter how much Bravo wants us to forget. Oh, Bravo. We will never forget. So join us, won't you? Bring your snark, your fashion prowess, and plenty of beverages. Amalah and I will be there to open the thread at 9:00 PM EST, and we'd love to see your fierceness there with us! Carry on!

PS: If you cannot fight the siren song of spoilers, Tom and Lorenzo have a sneak peek at their fantastic site, Project Rungay. You should be visiting them daily (gay-ly?) anyway, kittens.

Come join the coolest party in town, The Mole open thread tonight at 10 pm.  My leading candidate is still Mark.

It's time to sprout our conspiracy theories.  Me, I think the mole is the crying history teacher Mark.  Come tell me why you think I'm wrong as we discuss that and all other things The Mole in our open thread at 10.

Mole watchers unite!  And if you have never watched The Mole, you need to start!  You can learn all about the show here, but here is a quick and dirty: 12 people compete in various contestants to win money, but one is THE MOLE, a saboteur.  Every episode includes a quiz on who is the mole.

And no, Anderson Cooper is not hosting anymore.  I'm sad too.

Join me at 10 pm for an awesome open thread and

I AM THE MOLE!

So I don't know if everybody is as burned the hell out on competition-based reality shows as I am, but what with EVERY SHOW ON TELEVISION airing their finales already in spite of the strike-ravaged seasons, I also don't know what the hell else I'm supposed to watch BESIDES competition-based reality shows.

A new season of So You Think You Can Dance kicks off tonight at 8 pm ET, and as we have done since the beginning of time, there will be an OPEN THREAD over at the MamaPopTalk forums for anyone who cares to watch and snark on the show live. You KNOW you can't handle Mary Murphy alone, so join us! Jooooooin usssssss!

Alright, I'm going to lay it all out on the line here, people.

I have ZERO ZILCH NADA interest in watching dewy, doe-eyed David Archuletta win American Idol. The entirety of his being grates on me like razor-sharp fingernails on a chalkboard. If I gaze upon his visage too long, I start feeling an almost uncontrollable desire to find a couple of red hot pokers and plunge them into my eyesockets. Luckily, red hot pokers are hard to come by, at least in my household.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that in light of last night's evil confluence of bad song choices and what appears to be an epidemic of bad taste, it seems fairly apparent to anyone with a pulse what the outcome of tonight's show is going to be. I mean, Simon (of all people! THE TRAITOR!) practically CROWNED Archie last night. Tonight's two-hour coronation seems kind of moot, honestly.

That said, this is MamaPop, and we promised an Open Thread, and if you want it we'll give it to you. I also understand the desire for some closure on this season, and so, despite my reservations, I will indeed host a thread tonight provided at least 10 people comment here claiming 1) they want such a thing, and 2) promise on all they hold dear they will show up and participate. In light of all I've said above about my feelings of disgust and disappointment, that seems fair, yes?

So! Comment with your yay or nays. If we hit 10 people I'm in. If we hit less than 10, I'll still have an open thread up for anyone who wants to participate.... I'll just be off drowning my sorrows elsewhere. (weeps)

What say y'all?

That's right: it's a DAVID VS. DAVID BATTLE ROYALE SUPREME SMACKDOWN MANO Y MANO TO THE DEATH (omg I wish -- how awesome would THAT be?), and we'll be right here watching along with you, tonight and tomorrow! Are you excited? I know I am!! MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS EXCITED!!!!

Who will reign supreme: My boyfriend, the awesome-and-not-annoying-clearly-superior-David, or the David that is a dark-haired inferior knock-off of (vomit) Clay Aiken (vomit)? Oh yeah, you NEED to be here tonight to make sure the righteous prevail, people! C'mon!! ARE MY ALL CAPS AND MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS NOT CONVINCING?!?!!!!

So please, lawd please, join me over at the American Idol Open Thread Forum tonight starting at 8pm ET, for our second-to-last (weep) open thread (weep) go round (weep). BYOB and don't puss out, man. America is counting on you. I'm not kidding. DO I LOOK (sound? read?) LIKE I'M KIDDING? No, I'm SO not.

See you then! I has mah wines ready!

I have ZERO ZILCH NADA interest in watching dewy, doe-eyed David Archuletta win American Idol. The entirety of his being grates on me like razor-sharp fingernails on a chalkboard. If I gaze upon his visage too long, I start feeling an almost uncontrollable desire to find a couple of red hot pokers and plunge them into my eyesockets. Luckily, red hot pokers are hard to come by, at least in my household.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that in light of last night's evil confluence of bad song choices and what appears to be an epidemic of bad taste, it seems fairly apparent to anyone with a pulse what the outcome of tonight's show is going to be. I mean, Simon (of all people! THE TRAITOR!) practically CROWNED Archie last night. Tonight's two-hour coronation seems kind of moot, honestly.

That said, this is MamaPop, and we promised an Open Thread, and if you want it we'll give it to you. I also understand the desire for some closure on this season, and so, despite my reservations, I will indeed host a thread tonight provided at least 10 people comment here claiming 1) they want such a thing, and 2) promise on all they hold dear they will show up and participate. In light of all I've said above about my feelings of disgust and disappointment, that seems fair, yes?

So! Comment with your yay or nays. If we hit 10 people I'm in. If we hit less than 10, I'll still have an open thread up for anyone who wants to participate.... I'll just be off drowning my sorrows elsewhere. (weeps)

What say y'all?

That's right: it's a DAVID VS. DAVID BATTLE ROYALE SUPREME SMACKDOWN MANO Y MANO TO THE DEATH (omg I wish -- how awesome would THAT be?), and we'll be right here watching along with you, tonight and tomorrow! Are you excited? I know I am!! MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS EXCITED!!!!

Who will reign supreme: My boyfriend, the awesome-and-not-annoying-clearly-superior-David, or the David that is a dark-haired inferior knock-off of (vomit) Clay Aiken (vomit)? Oh yeah, you NEED to be here tonight to make sure the righteous prevail, people! C'mon!! ARE MY ALL CAPS AND MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS NOT CONVINCING?!?!!!!

So please, lawd please, join me over at the American Idol Open Thread Forum tonight starting at 8pm ET, for our second-to-last (weep) open thread (weep) go round (weep). BYOB and don't puss out, man. America is counting on you. I'm not kidding. DO I LOOK (sound? read?) LIKE I'M KIDDING? No, I'm SO not.

See you then! I has mah wines ready!

2008 MTV VMAs Open Thread Part II

Since the original thread is getting a leeeeeeetle long and unwieldy as we all post comment after comment about HOW DAMN OLD WE ARE, we're starting over from scratch here!

We're live now, covering the VMAs in all their glory! Pull up a chair and your favorite adult beverage and join us in comments as we watch and snark together, won't you?

We're back here on MamaPop with hawt Project Runway open thread ackshon tonight! Help us christen the return to MamaPop open threadage by joining us in comments -- LIVE, NOW! WOOT!!1!!!!!

I'm just gonna put it out there. Last week's episode of Project Runway SUCKED. Not only did the concept of "Olympic Opening Ceremony Outfits" completely elude everyone but the straight guy, all the designers decided to have hissy fits about the challenge. Very not fierce, guys!

Exclusive video links of this week's episode after the jump, and of course, be sure to join us on the Open Thread tonight at MamaPopTalk!

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means, betches! Join us over at MamaPopTalk tonight at 9 PM Eastern Time for the Project Runway open thread! What adventures will our designers go on this week? We've already covered the grocery store, so will materials be coming from Toys R Us? Crate and Barrel? Home Depot? I hear plywood is the new black.

Bring your snark and beverages, and join us, won't you?

UPDATED!!! Click here to see an exclusive preview of the always fierce Natalie Portman, our special guest for this episode!

O HAI! R U IN OR OUT?

You might not have heard, due to the heeee-yuge dramz between Bravo and Lifetime about Project Runway moving over to "Television for Women, and now Gay Men" next season, but the fifth season of PR begins tonight on Bravo at 9 pm. That's 9:00 PM EST, betches. Yes, they changed the time. No, it makes no sense. Oh, Bravo. So passive aggressive. I thought you were better than that.

Now, I am a relentless spoiler whore, but I gotta tell you, Bravo's hush-hush la-la we-can't hear-you non-promotion of this season is A-ok with me. I love PR so much, and actually want to be surprised when we "see what happens." (Last season on Bravo, people. The catchphrases will die soon.) I can guess wildly that there will be no lack of crying and cutting, taking bitches' dye, trying to not bore Nina, Michael Kors calling something "farty", and of course, Our Lord and Master, Tim Gunn. Tim's back, guys! I feel safer and more stylish already.

So of COURSE, over at MamaPopTalk we will have an open thread tonight. That's TONIGHT AT 9:00 PM EST, no matter how much Bravo wants us to forget. Oh, Bravo. We will never forget. So join us, won't you? Bring your snark, your fashion prowess, and plenty of beverages. Amalah and I will be there to open the thread at 9:00 PM EST, and we'd love to see your fierceness there with us! Carry on!

PS: If you cannot fight the siren song of spoilers, Tom and Lorenzo have a sneak peek at their fantastic site, Project Rungay. You should be visiting them daily (gay-ly?) anyway, kittens.

Come join the coolest party in town, The Mole open thread tonight at 10 pm.  My leading candidate is still Mark.

It's time to sprout our conspiracy theories.  Me, I think the mole is the crying history teacher Mark.  Come tell me why you think I'm wrong as we discuss that and all other things The Mole in our open thread at 10.

Mole watchers unite!  And if you have never watched The Mole, you need to start!  You can learn all about the show here, but here is a quick and dirty: 12 people compete in various contestants to win money, but one is THE MOLE, a saboteur.  Every episode includes a quiz on who is the mole.

And no, Anderson Cooper is not hosting anymore.  I'm sad too.

Join me at 10 pm for an awesome open thread and

I AM THE MOLE!

So I don't know if everybody is as burned the hell out on competition-based reality shows as I am, but what with EVERY SHOW ON TELEVISION airing their finales already in spite of the strike-ravaged seasons, I also don't know what the hell else I'm supposed to watch BESIDES competition-based reality shows.

A new season of So You Think You Can Dance kicks off tonight at 8 pm ET, and as we have done since the beginning of time, there will be an OPEN THREAD over at the MamaPopTalk forums for anyone who cares to watch and snark on the show live. You KNOW you can't handle Mary Murphy alone, so join us! Jooooooin usssssss!

PS: If you cannot fight the siren song of spoilers, Tom and Lorenzo have a sneak peek at their fantastic site, Project Rungay. You should be visiting them daily (gay-ly?) anyway, kittens.

Come join the coolest party in town, The Mole open thread tonight at 10 pm.  My leading candidate is still Mark.

It's time to sprout our conspiracy theories.  Me, I think the mole is the crying history teacher Mark.  Come tell me why you think I'm wrong as we discuss that and all other things The Mole in our open thread at 10.

Mole watchers unite!  And if you have never watched The Mole, you need to start!  You can learn all about the show here, but here is a quick and dirty: 12 people compete in various contestants to win money, but one is THE MOLE, a saboteur.  Every episode includes a quiz on who is the mole.

And no, Anderson Cooper is not hosting anymore.  I'm sad too.

Join me at 10 pm for an awesome open thread and

I AM THE MOLE!

So I don't know if everybody is as burned the hell out on competition-based reality shows as I am, but what with EVERY SHOW ON TELEVISION airing their finales already in spite of the strike-ravaged seasons, I also don't know what the hell else I'm supposed to watch BESIDES competition-based reality shows.

A new season of So You Think You Can Dance kicks off tonight at 8 pm ET, and as we have done since the beginning of time, there will be an OPEN THREAD over at the MamaPopTalk forums for anyone who cares to watch and snark on the show live. You KNOW you can't handle Mary Murphy alone, so join us! Jooooooin usssssss!

Alright, I'm going to lay it all out on the line here, people.

I have ZERO ZILCH NADA interest in watching dewy, doe-eyed David Archuletta win American Idol. The entirety of his being grates on me like razor-sharp fingernails on a chalkboard. If I gaze upon his visage too long, I start feeling an almost uncontrollable desire to find a couple of red hot pokers and plunge them into my eyesockets. Luckily, red hot pokers are hard to come by, at least in my household.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that in light of last night's evil confluence of bad song choices and what appears to be an epidemic of bad taste, it seems fairly apparent to anyone with a pulse what the outcome of tonight's show is going to be. I mean, Simon (of all people! THE TRAITOR!) practically CROWNED Archie last night. Tonight's two-hour coronation seems kind of moot, honestly.

That said, this is MamaPop, and we promised an Open Thread, and if you want it we'll give it to you. I also understand the desire for some closure on this season, and so, despite my reservations, I will indeed host a thread tonight provided at least 10 people comment here claiming 1) they want such a thing, and 2) promise on all they hold dear they will show up and participate. In light of all I've said above about my feelings of disgust and disappointment, that seems fair, yes?

So! Comment with your yay or nays. If we hit 10 people I'm in. If we hit less than 10, I'll still have an open thread up for anyone who wants to participate.... I'll just be off drowning my sorrows elsewhere. (weeps)

What say y'all?

That's right: it's a DAVID VS. DAVID BATTLE ROYALE SUPREME SMACKDOWN MANO Y MANO TO THE DEATH (omg I wish -- how awesome would THAT be?), and we'll be right here watching along with you, tonight and tomorrow! Are you excited? I know I am!! MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS EXCITED!!!!

Who will reign supreme: My boyfriend, the awesome-and-not-annoying-clearly-superior-David, or the David that is a dark-haired inferior knock-off of (vomit) Clay Aiken (vomit)? Oh yeah, you NEED to be here tonight to make sure the righteous prevail, people! C'mon!! ARE MY ALL CAPS AND MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS NOT CONVINCING?!?!!!!

So please, lawd please, join me over at the American Idol Open Thread Forum tonight starting at 8pm ET, for our second-to-last (weep) open thread (weep) go round (weep). BYOB and don't puss out, man. America is counting on you. I'm not kidding. DO I LOOK (sound? read?) LIKE I'M KIDDING? No, I'm SO not.

See you then! I has mah wines ready!

Regarding Your American Idol Finale Open Thread

Alright, I'm going to lay it all out on the line here, people.

I have ZERO ZILCH NADA interest in watching dewy, doe-eyed David Archuletta win American Idol. The entirety of his being grates on me like razor-sharp fingernails on a chalkboard.
