Every Sunday, the "Dancing" stars have their six packs painted on, their cheekbones defined and their arms sculpted almost immediately. "You go in feeling fat and frumpy, and you come out feeling skinny and hot," said Chelsie Hightower. As the Wall Street Journal reports, "Depending on the dance the couple will perform — fox trot or waltz, West Coast swing or cha-cha — TV makeup artists use a specific tone of tan. Latin dances like the rumba and sultry lambada seem to call for the darkest shades. Waltzes and fox trots take fine-tuning on hands, neck and ankles since most of the body is covered."
"The rival gangs on 'Sons of Anarchy' are too similar, seething thug characters are everywhere, and the strategies of each group aren't thoughtful or unexpected enough to hold our interest," complains Heather Havrilesky, adding: "On 'Sons of Anarchy' no one seems to have an ace in the hole, ever. Jax clashes with Clay, the Feds want Zobelle but Clay and Jax won't play, SOA member Chibs gives in to Agent Stahl when his IRA boss taunts him about sleeping with his daughter, but it doesn't add up or surprise us enough."
Larry David, says James Poniewozik, didn't show the "Seinfeld" reunion going awry. Instead, he did "something much more ordinary and impressive, which was a faithful, funny re-creation of how the rhythms of the show and the characters would play if it simply picked up 11 years later." Poniewozik adds: "What this episode, and the Seinfeld part of the season did, was to bring together Seinfeldian and Curbian humor, but in a way that always came back to the acerbic, crabbed hilarity that makes Curb distinctive."
"What will become of Oprah’s peerless influence on the popular culture?" asks The Daily Beast. "The media firmament is littered with megastars who left a sure thing, either by choice or coercion, only to see their candlepower dim and their relevance fade away. Jerry Seinfeld is now a bit player on Curb Your Enthusiasm. Rosie O’Donnell is hosting a radio show. Howard Stern is on satellite. Tom Brokaw is political analyst on MSNBC. And Ted Koppel—has anybody seen him lately?"
