Who is the brainchild behind these 30-second wonders of special effects and acting that interrupt my precious commercial watching time during Life on Mars? My four-year-old son and a Flip Mino could do a more entertaining and non-mind-numbing job. I understand what ABC is trying to do … actually, no, I have no freaking clue […]

Here’s a quick preview of what’s in store for the coming months. Mistresses – Debuts this […]
