How contaminated is Abby’s lab on NCIS?

I am the opposite of a science-minded individual. I’m one of those people who last took a science the last time it was required of me: one semester of college astronomy. Before that, I hadn’t sat in a science lab since physics class my junior year of high school. So how is it that I […]

Tuesday night on CBS offers me nothing but headaches. At one timeslot, that stems from my need to scramble around for options; at another, it’s because of a programming overload. Problems, problems.

Ratings Clack – Is FlashForward doomed?

ABC has now announced that FlashForward will be taking a little break, with new episodes returning March 4th. And that really couldn’t have come at a worse time. Television is not usually a place where absence makes the heart grow fonder. More likely, viewers forget what you were up to and can’t be bothered to […]

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 […]
