The Vampire Diaries shows a darker side, and I like it

I really had a good time last week making fun of The Vampire Diaries. The foolishness of the show was just screaming at me from inside my TV, willing me to point it out for all the world to see. This week, I was pleasantly surprised with the third episode of The Vampire Diaries. There […]

Bones – Wendell has become my favorite intern

Not too long ago, Rich asked which of the rotating interns should stick around. Should it be Clark Edison, who was the first to try to replace Zack? Or possibly Vincent Nigel-Murray, who is, frankly, the funniest of the bunch? For the longest time, I was a big fan of Daisy Wick, who is easily […]

The Practice virgin’s diary – Anderson Pearson, snooty professor at law, goes to trial for murder

(Season 3, Episodes 1-4) Thanks to everyone who voted, and who shared their opinions last time; your voices have been heard. I think I’m going to try continuing this on a weekly basis, but I will see how my new TV load holds up; presumably, if I begin to crumble under the weight, you are […]

I’ve never seen Prison Break, so I have no idea, but he was definitely not good here. I’m generally not wild about […]

Modern Family’s writers are smart on many levels

You already know how much I adored the premiere of Modern Family. I have now watched it three times (it’s a sick addiction at this point, and Keith is about to stage an intervention) and each time, I’ve found something new to appreciate and laugh at. This is a testament to the writing team, and […]

Cougar Town is really about a mother and son

Cougar Town has been criticized for being demeaning to women and simply a tasteless flaunting of cougar sex. There is that, though it is done with such humor and respect that it isn’t offensive to me. That’s also not what this show is really about. The interactions between the quirky characters are what carries the […]
