Ratings Clack – Entering the holiday abyss

It’s that time of the year. Now that we’ve all been spoiled for months with tons of new TV, it’s all going away. Last week we saw the first real evidence of the holiday slowdown as CW just shut down completely and ABC was the only network that even made an effort on Thursday and […]

Men of a Certain Age – CliqueClack preview

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. Each of their stories is unique, and yet each one is also identifiable. The show type is actually one that’s generally about women, an observation I made to my wife that was reinforced by Scott Bakula in his interview. He said it’s unusual to have three guys standing around, talking about life, without a dead body on the table, or them being cops, lawyers, or doctors. 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.

Lost in Lost – Groundhog Day

Californication – That’s why authors sell autographed copies of their books direct to market

Okay, so this episode was a bit of a miss, a slight incident of falling off the wagon. Not like episodes five and six, which were just subpar, and also kind of inexplicable as far as their existence in the timeline this season. No, this one made sense, and it was the “Slow Happy Boys” […]

Dexter – Trinity’s title turns out inaccurate

As usual with Dexter, things really pickup the pace in the last four-or-so episodes of a season. And, as usual, it makes me nervous as hell.

Quotation Marks – Beefcake calendars, threesomes, and large breasts … making the Puritans proud

Dreams came true for a lot of people this week. Seinfeld staged a reunion show on the season finale of Larry David’s Curb, Martha Castle is set to meet a calendar’s worth of firefighters, Ted and Robin were gifted a slap, and Cam got to dress up like a clown. Unfortunately for billions of turkeys, […]

Legend of the Seeker – Confessors and their men

Kahlan’s vision from last week’s episode revealed that she would soon be the last confessor. “Touched” followed up on that story line and introduces Annabelle, a “princess in a tower,” who doesn’t know anything about her powers until she starts confessing people left and right, starting with Flynn.
