FTW vs. WTF: The TV Week in Review (April 14)

by TV Show Warehouse on April 15, 2012

Not going to lie: Television has been way good recently. Maybe it’s because shows are amping up for finales or networks’ midseason entries have been stronger than usual, but whatever the reason, we’re overloaded on FTWs and seriously light on WTFs this week. Not that we’re complaining…

Extra special thanks to TV.com reader gsager1 , who won our contest to re-name this weekly feature with his internet-friendly and perfectly palindromic entry. “That’s great news!” he said we contacted him to inform him of his victory. “Does this make me internet-famous?” Not only that, but you now own a fake minority stake in TV.com! Go out and light some candy cigars with some candy $100 bills, because you’re fake rich! We’re very excited about the new name and…

If television could be traded as a currency, we’d be makin’ it RAIN right now. Here are the best and worst moments our laptops and TV sets subjected us to over the past seven days: SWELL Cartier’s Batsh*t Crazy Three-Minute Diamond Commercial It involves a biplane, a diamond leopard, a giant elephant, a dragon rising up from a snowy mountain, and an affair between a woman and a leopard. It’s way too awesome for any sober person to have imagined and pitched, not to mention produced. >
