Tears, screams, and rumors. Yes, Bravo’s popular reality show, Vanderpump Rules returned on Monday, Nov. 7 for its fifth season, and certainly without a shortage of drama. I’m typically a fan of reality shows; I find the scripted drama of “reality” to be entertaining, which is a quintessential quality of this series. However, the first episode was a mere disappointment, as looks the rest of the season.
In an era of increasingly realistic and gritty period dramas, it takes more than just extravagant costumes and timely dialogue to be a success. “Turn,” AMC’s newest show about a cabbage farmer that becomes a spy for the colonists in 1770’s America, will have to learn this lesson the hard way after airing a mediocre series premiere on Sunday, April 6.
April 19 might not mean much to most normal people, but if you’re a passionate and rabid music collector (like me), the date cannot come soon enough. That’s because this Saturday marks the 7th Annual Record Store Day event, an unofficial music holiday where artists and record labels release exclusive products (typically vinyl reissues, singles, and compilations)which are sold exclusively on that day in thousands of independent record stores all around the globe.
