For some time now I’ve said I thought Alison Brie could pull off playing Buffy Summers, if she were ever given the role. Doubters, prepare to eat your words!

As the Strike Force seemingly dodges another bullet (though at the cost of the high-level protection they’d been enjoying), I discover just how uninteresting and miserable Julien and Aceveda truly are.

A man, his family and a re-re-re-re-re-grand opening of a burger joint. This is one new animated series you need to put on your calendar for January.

I have finally found something to keep my interest this summer: Showtime’s examination of King Henry VIII in ‘The Tudors.’

A huge collection of releases this week includes ‘SGU’, ‘Battlestar’, ‘Pawn Stars’, ‘Stephen Fry’, ‘Phil Silvers’, ’21 Jump Street’, ‘Hunter’, ‘Poirot’, ‘Agatha Christie’, ‘Sabrina’, ‘G.I. Joe’, and ‘Black Arrow’.

I had hopes that Rachel Feinstein would advance to the final five on ‘Last Comic Standing’. Those were dashed this week. Apparently, even American viewers think that stand up comedy is a man’s world.

When ‘White Collar’s’ Tim DeKay sat down with us for a round-table interview, I had to take my chance and see what he could tell me about the fate of one of my favorite, ill-fated shows, ‘Carnivàle.’
