In the period known as “Back in the Day”, the period between December and the first few weeks of January were full of reruns. These days, everyone, including the original Big Three, launch a whole new set of shows that totally mess up your viewing schedule.

“I just had a House moment. I diagnosed transverse myelitis from a cold sore. How cool is that? Patients really eat that crap up.” – Wilson I can’t believe it took six seasons for the powers-that-be to do a Wilson-centric episode! Now that they finally did, it was certainly worth the wait. This was not […]

Alright, I have to apologize if you liked this episode of Heroes, but for me it was an hour of stupid decisions and sappy sentimentality, with each scene a little more ridiculous than the next. I know that we, as a fan base, have been clamoring for a major death for a couple of years […]

I have yet to come up with any super-great possible explanation as to why [adult swim] decided to release such an odd mish-mash of DVDs for Adult Swim in a Box.

A preview of the new TNT series Men of a Certain Age, starring Ray Romano, Scott Bakula, and Andre Braugher. Men of a Certain Age is a show about three college friends who’ve reached middle age.

But just because it’s a first doesn’t mean it doesn’t work — it works extremely well, and I’m really happy that this show came together.

Last week I talked about the start date of Lost’s final season: February 2, 2010. I failed to notice (shame on me) that this date also holds some additional meaning. Yes, it’s Groundhog Day. At first I didn’t even realize that the two dates coincided, but even if I had, I’m not sure that I […]
