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!

Weeds – Six months later, and we might as well be south of the border

They say that parts of Southern California (as well as the tips of some of those other states between California and the Atlantic Ocean), are indistinguishable from Mexico. Esteban’s house looks like no Mexico I’ve ever been to (go Puerto Vallarta!), but I get the idea. The architecture, the tiling, the landscaping; all very Mexican […]

Make It or Break It – All work and no play makes Payson a dull girl

And yet, I’m seriously enjoying her. This is Julia Stiles, 2.0, people. You’ve got to embrace it when that kind of anomaly transpires. So, good stuff this week on Make It or Break It. I wrote last week about the show needing to keep a good balance; I think the punishment that the girls received, which […]

I totally expected a wildly different ending on In Plain Sight

Okay, so that threw me for a huge loop. Did anyone follow the logic at the end of last night’s episode of In Plain Sight? Rafe’s (Cristián de la Fuente) mom is in town for his and Mary’s engagement party. Already a little strange, but, fine. Time for a game of pretend this is happening, so […]

Formula and emotion trump reason on Army Wives

We knew this was coming; not least of all, because Lifetime touted last night’s episode of Army Wives as the “most emotional of the season.” We can also see a crescendo when it’s staring us in the face. And yet, who wasn’t surprised by what happened last night? Let’s back the bus up (beep, beep, […]

Make It or Break It ain’t a bad way to while away the time between seasons of Greek

I had an inner battle over admitting this, but I’ve finally decided to come clean: yes, I have been watching ABC Family’s new show, Make It or Break It. The ridicule may now begin. Ah, the shame of admitting that we enjoy something that seems so unlike us. But, I’m taking a page out of […]

Still unsure about HawthoRNe

I know what I said last week. Nevertheless, after four episodes, there still isn’t much that’s new to say about HawthoRNe. It’s interesting, or not, to note how slowly the show is evolving. Are we even getting to know the characters better, or has each episode just given us a little more of the same? And, […]

Are we losing one of our Army Wives?

Say it ain’t so, Denise! Now, I’m not spreading or supporting any rumors here, just working off of plot, but is Denise leaving? And, I don’t necessarily mean the show; I imagine that, technically, Army Wives can develop a way in which to keep her on as a cast member without her still being on-base, […]
