It's Valentine's Day at William McKinley High. Cue the sappy love songs.

'The Real Housewives of Orange County' recap: Episode 2

By Stephanie Region — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:56:00 GMT

A 'Twilight Zone' vibe of real hugs and fake crying

Tonight’s episode starts on an odd note with Vicki asking the kitchen staff – again! - if she can “help with anything.” She ended last week’s episode with this question, which, for one TV Lust reader, made her a nominee for Class Clown. By repeating the ridiculously rhetorical question, Vicki overthrows Tamra and wins the title by a landslide.

The truth about Courtney -- and the Final Four

'The Voice' recap: Episode 3, Gaithersburg's Erin Willet joins Team Blake

By Sara Toth — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:23:00 GMT

Who we're watching: Erin Willet, Moses Stone ... and Pip?

Another week of blind auditions on NBC’s “The Voice,” and another two hours to boil down into a single blog post. A nice change of pace this week for the audience: Instead of clipped montages of contestants who didn’t make the cut onto Adam Levine’s, Cee Lo Green’s, Christina Aguilera’s or Blake Shelton’s teams, the clipped montages were of contestants who did, in fact, get slots in the competition.

'The Walking Dead' recap, episode 208: 'Nebraska'

By Andrew Conrad, aconrad@tribune.com — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:07:00 GMT

'We bury the ones we love, and burn the rest"

Sunday night's installment of "The Walking Dead" on AMC had it all: zombie deaths, human deaths, a car wreck, new characters, a working bar, heated arguments and — to cap it all off — a song by Maryland-based blues -metal band Clutch .

'Jersey Shore' recap: Episode 6

By Meghan Welsh — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 05:01:00 GMT

Another week, another episode of "Jersey Shore." Does anyone else feel as if watching it has become more of a chore than an enjoyable escape from everyday life?

'The Vampire Diaries' recap: Episode 15, 'All My Children'

By Lindsey McPherson — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 02:56:00 GMT

Ten things that should happen on 'The Walking Dead'...

By Andrew Conrad, aconrad@tribune.com — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:03:00 GMT

...but probably won't

"The Walking Dead,"AMC's epic, buzzy zombie apocalypse drama, returns from its midseason hibernation this Sunday at 9 p.m. with the first of six episodes closing out the second season.

'Revenge' recap: 'Perception'

By Meagan O'Neill — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 05:14:00 GMT

I’ve been a bit annoyed with"Revenge"lately; to take a holiday break, come back for three weeks, and then take a two-week hiatus? This just seemed rude to be taking advantage of those of us who plan our weeks around Wednesdays at 10 p.m. However, once the episode opened and I watched as different cast members received a red box, I knew it could mean only one thing: The engagement party is approaching! Since the first 10 minutes of the series teased this party, we’ve all been left wondering, and it seems as though some of our questions are closer to being answered!

Sex and cinema—complicated lovers

By Leonor Vivanco, RedEye — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:00:00 GMT

Baby (Jennifer Grey) famously lost her virginity to Patrick Swayze's character in "Dirty Dancing." The geeky freshman played by Anthony Michael Hall lusted after Samantha (Molly Ringwald), who's a virgin saving herself for Jake Ryan in "Sixteen Candles." And friends of Andy (Steve Carell) in "40 Year Old Virgin" try to help him do the deed.

'The Real Housewives of Orange County' recap: Season premiere

By Stephanie Region — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:16:00 GMT

Welcome to a brand-new season with the O.G.s of the O.C.! It’s all back: the big hair, the big boobs and of course, the Botox. And the ladies are opening big. They've been feuding for years and openly planting stories about each other in the press, and now, this season begins with Gretchen getting GretchenChristineBeauté-fied to meet Tamra for lunch. But before we get into that …

'The Voice' recap: Episode 2

Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:12:00 GMT

Phew! Two hours of “The Voice” is a lot to process. The NBC show was heavy on the tug-at-your-heartstrings contestant backstories tonight, which can make for some intense emotional weight-lifting. But we all survived, and slowly but surely, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton are building up their teams.

After weeks – months! – of audiences being inundated with promos for NBC’s “The Voice,” the premiere finally got under way tonight after Super Bowl XLVI. As the NFL crowned this year’s champions in the New York Giants, the road to a different kind of championship began with the blind auditions on the vocal talent show.

Super Bowl ad winners and losers

By Steve Johnson — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:31:00 GMT

To the showrooms, America! Automobile advertising dominated Sunday's Super Bowl XLVI, with everything from apocalypse-defying Chevy trucks to a vampire-killing Audi. Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood, Chrysler and General Electric pushed economic recovery and patriotism during the marketing 'n' football extravaganza, while Budweiser and the NFL delivered history lessons. Pop culture references fizzled (Ferris Bueller) and sparkled (Twinkies), while the E-Trade baby and Careerbuilder.com chimps did their usual crowd-pleasing things. Oh, and GoDaddy, once again, delivered its particular version of class.

'Jersey Shore' recap: Episode 5, or when things get filthy

By Meghan Welsh — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:12:00 GMT

Here we are at the fifth episode: Still waiting on a physical altercation between the roommates, and hoping for some sort of monumental event that will bring us back next week. I think the producers took a different route and decided to tempt us as if this were a horror movie.

'The Vampire Diaries' recap: Episode 14, 'Dangerous Liaisons'

By Lindsey McPherson — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:29:00 GMT

Mothers love their children no matter what. Apparently that statement is true even for the witch mother of the original family of vampires whose hybrid son “killed” her.

10 awkward questions with … 'Jeopardy!' contestant Sarah Bart

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:11:00 GMT

The Goucher College senior bears with us before the College Championship

Sarah Bart is the first Goucher College student to participate in the "Jeopardy!" College Championship since it started in 1989. She's also just one of 15 contestants this year, pared down from about 12,000 wannabes. Clearly, Bart is awesome. But she is awesome enough to deal with our queries? Apparently so. We got in touch with the 22-year-old Philadelphia native before her episode airs at 7 p.m. Friday on WMAR/ABC (the tournament runs as 10 shows through Feb. 14), and though she can't reveal how well she did, we had other important matters on our mind.
