Writing my preview piece last week, I got so excited about the coming season of Californication that I dropped everything else that I had to do and popped in the screener DVD right then and there. And it was so good that I insisted that my wife — who hates the show — watch the entire dinner […]

My impatience with waiting for the Seinfeld reunion on Curb Your Enthusiasm led me to take advantage of my screener last week. Alas, no luck on episode two (and a scratch on episode three, entitled “The Reunion,” cut my viewing short at minute two!).

Dollhouse is in a bit of a weird place. To call the renewal a surprise would be an understatement.

Maybe it was crazy middle-aged people that I was missing in my college experience, because even though we only saw it in montage, Pierce and Jeff’s presentation was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Tiny sombreros, a boat with a Native American prisoner, silly string, and a big finish with sparklers? Now that’s what I […]
