I am still mad that NBC has canceled the Christian Slater vehicle My Own Worst Enemy. Any time I like a new show, it seems, it gets canceled before it ever has a chance. Some examples include: Daybreak, Journeyman, Moonlight, and The New Amsterdam. I refuse to believe that I am some kind of a […]
Yikes! The “good” reality shows are dwindling away in fall season finales! By “good” I mean ones I watch and enjoy. Your mileage may vary, of course. But the real biggies of the genre are wrapping things up and I fear a dearth coming as the year winds down. Last week it was the end […]
