It’s that time of the year. Now that we’ve all been spoiled for months with tons of new TV, it’s all going away. Last week we saw the first real evidence of the holiday slowdown as CW just shut down completely and ABC was the only network that even made an effort on Thursday and […]

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. The show type is actually one that’s generally about women, an observation I made to my wife that was reinforced by Scott Bakula in his interview. 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.

Last week I talked about the start date of Lost’s final season: February 2, 2010. I failed to notice (shame on me) that this date also holds some additional meaning. Yes, it’s Groundhog Day. At first I didn’t even realize that the two dates coincided, but even if I had, I’m not sure that I […]

Here are some of today’s notable deals […]

Every day this month — or, at least, through Christmas Eve — we’ll post some notable TV-on-DVD deals available on Amazon.com. Historically, this time of year is the best for finding some of the best deals on this stuff, so take the time to pick stuff up as gifts or, hell, for yourself! Occasionally we’ll […]

According to E! Online, the writers of Ugly Betty are debating who to pair Betty with at the end of the series. Henry, Gio, and Daniel were mentioned as possibilities. Last night, the writers teased us with a kiss between Betty and Daniel (who admittedly thought she was Molly). Let’s take a look at the guys […]

I’m a sucker for a good father/daughter relationship. That dynamic was a part of some of my all time favorite shows: It was a critical piece of Veronica Mars, was a interesting part of Battlestar Galactica (Adama and Starbuck), and even The West Wing (Bartlett and Zoey/Elizabeth/Ellie). I’ve been struck most of this season, by […]
