New Fall Season: "The Arrow" hits the mark for popcorn entertainment

The Arrow

Wednesdays at 8 on The CW

In these bleak times, superheroes offer a little inspiration, a little sense of justice. That's the attraction of "The Arrow." You coul add to that list a sense of redemption, a dash of revenge, and a dollop of vigilantism.

Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) is the son of a billionaire and a not very nice guy. He's the kind of player who sleeps with the sister of Laurel (Katie Cassidy), the girl he's dating.

That doesn't end well for the sister or the player; on a yacht trip, the boat capsizes in the storm, sweeping the sister away.

'Celebrity Apprentice' delivers evil genius and ego blows

'The Celebrity Apprentice' might be a stupid show, but it's a highly entertaining stupid show, and I'm proud to say, I have tricked some very smart people into watching it and getting hooked on it.

The key to this season is the delicious combination of "crazy" that Donald Trump has cooked up: Gary Busey, Richard Hatch, LaToya Jackson, Meat Loaf, Star Jones, NeNe Leakes, and Jose Canseco, just to list a few.

Jury's still out on how to categorize Dionne Warwick (besides "Hella Slow on the Cash Register"), John Rich, Lisa Rinna, Lil' Jon, and some of the other contestants, but there's crazy potential there for each.

I'd put former teen star David Cassidy in the "Delicate Nicotine-Addicted Little People" category, but after Trump put him out of his misery -- I mean, fired him -- last night, categorizing him is irrelevant.
