I’ve spent all summer looking into how different shows deal with their MacGuffins. Some shows choose to have each season deal with a unique mystery, other shows have one huge mystery that spans the entire run of the program. Then there are shows like Lost that seem to introduce a new MacGuffin in every episode, […]

Seriously, what the heck is going on with True Blood? Where do all of these people keep coming from? The show managed to set another series high this week, with 5.3 million viewers. That alone is cause for celebration. Even better, the DVDs continue to sell like hotcakes. In its 13th week of release, the […]

This is the episode that is probably going to be the end of Defying Gravity. Don’t get me wrong, I still really like this show and think it’s underrated, even by its fans. However, most of the show’s detractors reference the more soap-opera nature as its major downside. If there are any stragglers with that […]

There’s not a whole lot I have to say about the penultimate episode of True Blood. Sure, going into finales, often times you can get a filler episode or two, but I don’t necessarily think that’s the problem here. All season long, there has been a divide between the story in Bon Temps and the […]

Mad Men has come back, and the slow-burn of the first two episodes is making me completely crazy — in a really great way. Project Runway returned as well, and I begrudgingly watched it, just to find out that it’s just as ridiculous as always. And Wil Wheaton got into a nerd-fight on Leverage. Not bad for […]

Was it just me, or did this week seem a little off? Despite being funny, Psych put me to sleep (literally, not figuratively) with its not-so-interesting plot. Leverage was hilarious, but didn’t offer nearly as many good one-liners as it normally does. And depressingly, Bob’s Veronica Mars Virgin Diary is quickly coming to a close […]

I’ve never seen Curb. Well, that’s not entirely true: I saw ten minutes of the season six premiere, “Meet the Blacks,” when it aired the other night. Why? I’m not a Larry David fan (despite my love for Seinfeld), and David looks like an old boss of mine. A nice guy, but still. Oh, and […]
