Bio: While CliqueClack is my first foray into the blogosphere, it’s just one stop along my long journey in writing. With my first book of short stories bounded via copy machine when I was still a lad, my evolution along the trajectory of writing has far exceeded that of my drawing; that first book was fronted by a rather pedestrian hand drawing of “Leatherhead”, of TMNT fame, and my ability hasn’t grown beyond rudimentary since those days. But the baby’s cute!

The Office returns from hiatus with a clips show?

I cry foul! What an utterly crappy way to ride back in from break. The Office has been a tremendous disappointment this season, and to not even bother to try for a week? Sure I was laughing last night, but does that make it right? Not in my book. I didn’t hear a single quotable […]

The Deep End is pretty shallow

Bob posed an interesting question earlier today: do you miss FlashForward. Without getting into my original answer, after watching tonight’s pilot episode of The Deep End I can tell you this — I’m definitely feeling its absence right now. I won’t say that I was overly excited about The Deep End going in, but I […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – Another season five crossover … ratings getting desperate?

(Season 5, Episodes 15-16) It wasn’t the most fascinating or compelling case, but episode 14’s terminated teacher was left in the middle, with Ellenor essentially challenging Principal Steven Harper (Chi McBride) to a court battle. And the question of why Superintendant Marsha Shinn (Debbi Morgan) seemed to be gunning for her client also hung in […]

Criminal Minds says no to the hanging game

The fact that last night’s case on Criminal Minds was more like early seasons did not escape me. The difference, however, seems to be me … back then, I wasn’t a father. Not that images of a father hanging his own son wouldn’t have disturbed me before, but with my own son asleep in his […]

CBS Thursday night lineup – Clacking the dream

Before I even get into it, I can tell you that I was just as surprised as you’re going to be that I had such a hard time with a major network’s Thursday night lineup. But CBS’s Thursday night went and did the unthinkable — it almost made me pass on it like I did […]

White Collar’s premiere ends with another twist

I find it very amusing that chess is always used as a symbol for strategizers, a kind of visual way of saying, “This guy can really think!” It’s a great game, and it definitely takes a ton of forward-thinking, but chess and calculated thought are by no means equitable. Nevertheless, it was fun to watch […]

Make It or Break It makes the scene in LA

That was pretty quick for Make It or Break It to do a destination episode. But like Saved by the Bell went to Hawaii or Growing Pains hit Europe, last night’s episode found the girls making a big trip out to Los Angeles for a pool party bash, red carpet and everything. Is this really […]
