It was high time for Trip to take a fall

I mentioned last week how little a fan I was of the whole Trip/Serena pairing. The whole thing just feels wrong, on so many levels. Unfortunately, it’s not like I’ve got Josh Schwartz or the rest of the writers’ room on speed dial. Or Twitter even. Heck, I don’t even have carrier pigeons that could make […]

Ray Romano makes a triumphant return to television in Men of a Certain Age

Wow. Right? Who has that “wow” feeling right now, after having watched the pilot episode of Men of a Certain Age? I do, and I’ve already seen it once before. Then again, I also hit my allowable good cheer for the year in my preview, and smiling this much is making my nose scrunch up […]

The Venture Bros. – Torrid’s a dick. Who opens up Hell?

After a week off for Thanksgiving, the VB team returned with what might be the best episode of the season, “The Better Man.” It’s one of those strange instances where you never thought to ask for something, but you’re so glad to get it. I’ve never given any thought at all to Dr. O’s wife, […]

Well, the jury was still […]

Californication’s awkward lunch … at least this time they were all clothed

Any guesses for Dexter’s finale?

I caught tonight’s episode a couple of weeks ago, so I’ve had a bit of time to think about it. First of all: wow! The final scene of the episode was jaw-dropping, and with only one episode left to go in the season — yes, ONE episode! — we’re left to wonder how in the […]

Sizing up the boys of SYTYCD – Who will make the top four?

As far as I’m concerned, there are two important milestones on So You Think You Can Dance: the Top 10 (when you get to tour) and the Top 4 (when you get in the finale). Who actually wins seems to me to be arbitrary and impossible to predict, and doesn’t necessarily denote anything. After all, […]
