Latest episode clacks for this show:
(1/19 – 1/26) The subject of the Friday night death slot comes up fairly regularly around here. Moreso recently, what with the Terminator/Dollhouse debut right around the corner. I’m not one to argue in the face of so much damning evidence, but I do think there is a plucky young upstart with eyes on the […]
Before the inevitable backlash from people whose favorite shows are hurting for respect and viewers, understand that I realize that the love is mostly in the ratings. I bled when The Wire got panned. I’m fully aware of how only now (if even) are people starting to really respect shows like The Office, 30 Rock, and […]
