(Season 4, Episodes 15-18) On a show not long on juicy quotes, this first episode offered up a doozy. After landing a murder trial, Richard gets stopped by a bunch of reporters outside the courtroom. Things are going fine, and then one asks him, “Were you surprised this case was assigned to you, after so […]
Dear TNT, You suck. Okay, before I say something I’m going to regret, let me rephrase that: this sucks. “This,” of course, being the prolonged wait that you’ve forced upon the fans of your new hit series Dark Blue. Yes, new hit series … so why the delay on the renewal announcement? It’s been almost […]
Dead Like Me, a Showtime original, was a series that could have totally passed me by. In fact, I’d never even heard of it prior to it going off the air in 2004. But at some point in the following year or two, as I was going through some old VHS tapes on a lark, […]
A preview of the new TNT series Men of a Certain Age, starring Ray Romano, Scott Bakula, and Andre Braugher. Men of a Certain Age is a show about three college friends who’ve reached middle age. Each of their stories is unique, and yet each one is also identifiable.

He said it’s unusual to have three guys standing around, talking about life, without a dead body on the table, or them being cops, lawyers, or doctors. But just because it’s a first doesn’t mean it doesn’t work — it works extremely well, and I’m really happy that this show came together.
Okay, so this episode was a bit of a miss, a slight incident of falling off the wagon. Not like episodes five and six, which were just subpar, and also kind of inexplicable as far as their existence in the timeline this season. No, this one made sense, and it was the “Slow Happy Boys” […]
Dreams came true for a lot of people this week. Seinfeld staged a reunion show on the season finale of Larry David’s Curb, Martha Castle is set to meet a calendar’s worth of firefighters, Ted and Robin were gifted a slap, and Cam got to dress up like a clown. Unfortunately for billions of turkeys, […]
I was reading something about White Collar recently that seemed to echo exactly what I’d been thinking about the show for the last week or two. Great leading character camaraderie, but where are the scintillating crime stories that we’ve come to expect after the first episode or two? But just as soon as I read that, […]
