Desperate Housewives – Carlos gets his sight back; Gaby grows up

(Season 5, Episode 10 – “A Vision’s Just a Vision”) This episode returned Desperate Housewives to a bit of its glory days, and the five-year-jump reboot is finally starting to come together for me. So much happened, and some major plotpoints were revealed, including a bit more about Dave’s mystery and why he’s out to […]

Daily Show/Colbert Report – Anne Hathaway hits on Jon, Jon touches kids, Stephen beats Kanye West

(Week of December 1, 2008) Hey, kids! It’s time for a quick round-up of highlights from this week’s episodes of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. It’s been a long break, and it feels good to be back. What’s up with those guys needing such a long break anyway? It’s painfully selfish of them […]

Leverage – Heists and hijinks defined

(Season 1, Episode 1 – “The Nigerian Job” – Series Premiere) All I want to say is wow. But since this is a review and all, I suppose I should be slightly more specific than that. It’s not often a pilot captures me like Leverage‘s did. This show has everything I value in good television: […]

(Season 3, Episode 11 – “I Had A Dream”) First of all, bravo to those who called what was going on with Dexter in the trunk. When I read some people making that guess, I knew it had to be right — it only made sense. Even for a second-to-last episode, I didn’t see the […]

Saturday Night Live – John Malkovich; T.I.

(Season 34, Episode 10) My hopes were really high when I saw that John Malkovich was hosting this week. I remember his hysterical monologue from when he hosted in 1993. It consisted of him trying to hit a baseball into the audience, but he never made contact. As he kept missing he kept swinging harder […]

Ghost Whisperer – Melinda stalking new Jim is sweet, not creepy. Right?

(Season 4, Episode 9 – “Pieces of You”) I was on board the idea of killing Jim to shake up the show. I thought him being a ghost who hung around Melinda and helped her out from the other side was nothing short of brilliant. It would allow us to learn more about the other […]

Sanctuary – It was Dr. Zimmerman who killed Dr. Magnus in the submarine

(Season 1, Episode 9 – “Requiem”) Who knew a two-man play could be compelling in the world of science fiction? No crazy special effects or zany aliens or creatures; just a man and a woman and a submarine. Kudos to the writers and actors involved for making this still compelling television. The relationship between Helen […]
