Alternate History – Spike

Posted on August 26, 2011 by

We normally don’t waste our time with the silly, albeit guilty pleasure fare of Spike TV for the purposes of the ‘Tastic, however, the “special,” ‘Alternate History,’ piqued our interest with the trailers and then so thoroughly disappointed us with the production that we felt it was necessary for sake of historical and intellectual honesty to warn our readers to stay away from this ridiculous crapfest trying to pass itself off as a serious documentary.

We are pleased to announce that The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that TBS will not be renewing George Lopez’s late night talk show, Lopez Tonight. OK… Let’s be completely honest: George Lopez sucks donkey balls… metaphorically speaking, of course. What the man does in his personal time, we have no insight on nor can we comment on. But, the fact is that he hasn’t been funny in over a decade. Continue reading →
