CliqueClack’s mid-season report card: the cable networks

Just as programs on the Big Four and a Half networks are taking a break for the holiday, the same thing is happening on cable. Unfortunately, some of these shows have been on break since the late summer-early fall. While we’ve been missing them to death, the good news is that many, including Leverage, Psych, White Collar, Damages, and Burn Notice, are about to return to complete their seasons.

The twelve (or so) days of Christmas, CliqueClack style

We all wanted to do something festive for the 2009 holiday season, but we didn’t want to do the same thing as we did last year. No, this holiday season we give you our own rendition of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’, in our own not-really-twelve and not-at-all-sing-songy way. Enjoy and happy holidays! On the […]

24 vs Lost – Is it possible to like both?

Lately, I’ve been looking forward to some of the shows that are going to be returning in the next few months. Of course, I can’t wait for the final season of Lost to start, but I’m also excited about the return of Damages and Breaking Bad. One show that’s not really on my radar is […]

The Closer – Wait, this is the season finale?

It may seem to you that The Closer just returned two weeks ago … because it did. Despite that, through some insane scheduling shenanigans over at TNT, “Dead Man’s Hand” was, in fact, the season finale. The good news is that the oddly short run was very well done. The bad news is that we’ll […]
