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!

CBS Tuesday night lineup – Clacking the dream

Tuesday night on CBS offers me nothing but headaches. At one timeslot, that stems from my need to scramble around for options; at another, it’s because of a programming overload. Problems, problems. And this on a night that was once heavy on pre-reality show reality shows, like Rescue 911, 60 Minutes II, and Promised Land […]

Men of a Certain Age – Who wouldn’t want to play a pretend homebuyer in this market?

I’m not sure how to explain it, but there’s something about Men of a Certain Age that just makes me smile. It could be the great acting, or the stories that suck me in without really being about much at all. Or maybe it’s the great writing. But whatever it is, MOCA has come along […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – Murdering husbands, the EPA, and smoking crack for two

(Season 5, Episodes 1-3) I enjoy long cases as much as the next legal drama fan, but it’s generally only enjoyable when the case is so massive that it requires multiple episodes. The Practice seems to have found another reason for dragging these out: the lawyers just care too darn much. And it’s not even […]

Who’s in charge on Criminal Minds?

After riding a heart-pounding roller coaster for ten episodes, culminating in Haley Hotchner’s funeral, our very own Hotch has returned to the BAU for some soul-cleansing psycho hunting. But in what capacity? Well, the truth is that it wasn’t quite clear for most of last night’s episode. I mean, sure, Hotch appeared to be spearheading […]

ABC Sunday night lineup – Clacking the dream

Next up on my completely randomly selected list of nights and networks was supposed to be FOX Fridays. But with Malcolm in the Middle already accounted for on my Sundays, I was kind of left with absolutely nothing of interest to choose from. Sorry fans of America’s Most Wanted, Dark Angel, Firefly, Nanny 911, The […]

The Good Wife disappears before our very eyes

Following Monday night’s Friends rip-off on How I Met Your Mother, CBS decided to stick to their own property and have The Good Wife steal directly from Cold Case. Sure, it was a “ripped from the headlines” case, but a judge who’s getting kickbacks from a private juvenile detention facility? How Lilly Rush is that?!? […]

NCIS – Is Gibbs Santa?

You have to be wondering that too, right? He makes toys in his basement (nice transition from the boats); and, um, then that thing at the end with the sack and the sled. Plus guest Ralph Waite, AKA Dad (Jack) Gibbs, said something about warming up the sled. And Jack looks a little like a […]
