I realize we’ve yet to see the makeup of the new panel of judges on American Idol (Ellen DeGeneres joins when the show hits Hollywood), but we did get our first exposure to life without Paula last night. So, what did everyone think? Personally, I loved it. As much as I think Kara DioGuardi is […]
There was something off about Molly (Betty Gilpin) on last night’s episode of The Good Wife. First of all, I know she said that she’d been a full-time nanny in the past, but someone going for a double graduate degree picking up odd babysitting hours? It seemed too much like she was either sent in […]
And one of them was played by Robert Wagner! If that isn’t a 150th episode treat, I don’t know what is. I spent a lot of time during the noise of last night’s case trying to arrive at some conclusions regarding the recent appearances of both Tony’s and Gibbs’ fathers. If you recall, Gibbs senior […]
Carissa’s back Guest-Clacking for us today, after a long, long time away (and writing about not trusting network television). We’re glad you’re back Guest-Clacking, Carissa! 1. It’s impossible to not love Scott Foley I was never a Noel fan. I was Ben all the way. Noel was a little too needy and lacked confidence. He […]
The current antics over at NBC make the days of Fred Silverman’s Supertrain and Pink Lady and Jeff look like brilliant programming decisions.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the monster that is American Idol is back on television. After watching a few seasons of the glorified talent popularity contest, I gave up on it last year and decided to throw my viewing power behind Reaper. Unfortunately we all know how that story ended, with the cancellation of Reaper (and I […]
When did Friday night stop being a television destination? Did the 2000s usher in a generation of youngsters who no longer stayed in to watch their favorite shows on the first night of the weekend? Everyone seems to forget that there’s Saturday night too, plenty of time to go out and get loaded. And for […]
Today’s Guest Clacker is Meredith O’Brien, a pop culture columnist who also blogs about TV and movies at Notes from the Asylum. I didn’t expect to laugh this much during Big Love’s premiere. I think the laughter was a defense mechanism, a response to the parade of craziness which appeared in one scene after another. […]
The blogs are all atwitter. NBC is finally owning up to the Leno Experiment’s failure. Sure, they can blame the affiliates all they want to. I guess it’s pretty damn unreasonable to want, you know, competitive ratings at 10 and 11. The nerve of those guys, eh? I’m not a late night guy, so I’m […]
Some are saying that last night’s episode of Men of a Certain Age was a welcome lighter side to the show. But I didn’t see it as anything other than a continuation of the same, a perfect combination of middle-age angst, brotherhood, and Ray Romano awkwardness. Yes, last night’s episode was awesome, but that’s nothing new […]
