(Season 2, Episode 7) Well, this doesn’t seem realistic at all. After all, it seems to me that it would be in character for Howard Wolowitz to be aware of any sexy women TV shows, wouldn’t it? It takes Penny’s cable being cut off for him to discover the show? Raj, I can understand. He’s […]

(Season 2, Episode 8) Well, they promised us death, and… well, we got a death. Kind of… I guess (more on that after the jump). In any case, this was definitely a sweeps-worthy episode. Told in a quasi-Rashomon multiple perspective style, it was definitely different. I’m not sure the story telling technique was used as […]

They even look like they’re having fun with it. Separately, they’re great. […]

It was one of those odd weeks in television. The big election changed programming for three nights, knocking numbers in all sorts of directions. ABC came out on top in the coverage, and the four networks that went with election coverage (CW was regularly scheduled programming) combined to average nearly 40 million viewers and a […]

I’ve been watching some of those other reality shows on truTV lately. Oh, I know they claim they’re actuality, not reality. But they’re reality indeed, perhaps just a bit more real than the various reality game or entertainment shows. Cops on FOX has always been a guilty pleasure of mine and now, thanks to A&E […]
