I still find it surprising that I got so into Make It or Break It in its premiere half-season. Not necessarily because I’d categorize the show as being made for a younger — and less male — demographic, but rather because of the copious amounts of teen drama that are guaranteed to play out in its […]
(Season 5, Episodes 7-9) I’m completely not surprised to discover that Michael Emerson won an Emmy for his work on The Practice.
