  On The Lot: Episode 16 (The Season Finale)

  Well, this is what it finally comes down to. After 12,000 submissions, several cuts and weeks of competition, it’s time for the final cut. The three remaining contestants are: Jason Epperson, Will Bigham and Adam Stein. After last weeks disappointing first part of the finale, you would have expect

  On The Lot: Episode 14 (Fox Television)

  Now, I normally don’t get upset when reality shows end up tossing a contestant because of something unfair. But being a Canadian that applied for the show, it was hard to sit still when Zach Lipovsky was eliminated this week. As you all know, only United States residents are allowed to vote. This

  On The Lot: Episode 13 (Fox Television)

  At this point, it’s nice, because "On The Lot" can finally breathe. Yes, it does know it won’t return after the final episode, but it at least knows it will make it to the final episode. Does that mean it can give the finger to selling out and let the filmmakers do whatever they want? Hell no. T

  On The Lot: Episode 12 (Fox Television)

  In the final hours of On The Lot, it’s fair to assume we’ll see a change. With eight contestants left, and after tonight, 6, it will soon become the most serious it’s ever been. One of the reasons is that On The Lot is clearly not American Idol, and for the filmmakers, it’s either first plac

  On The Lot: Episode 8 (Fox Television)

  Once again, too add drama to the show, they eliminated this week’s contestant in an unusual fashion. This week, they didn’t cut the contestant in front of a live audience; they did it behind the scenes. Jessica went home, and although I was saddened to see such talent disappear from the show, I

  On The Lot: Episode 6 (Fox Television)

  On the cusp of being cancelled, due to continually sinking ratings, On The Lot hangs in with it’s weekly one hour episode. This week, not only do we get to see five new films, but we get to find out which of the five directors from last week gets voted off. Plus, we get another guest judge. Thi
