I was certainly a little wary heading into tonight’s Heroes doubleheader. There are some weeks I can barely stand one episode, let alone two. Then there are other weeks when I am delightfully surprised by a great episode, or at the very least some great moments within an episode. How did tonight’s two episodes stack […]
I can’t figure out whether or not there must have been some scrambling going on behind the scenes of Make It or Break It before tonight’s episode. The writers concluded their initial run at a logical stopping point for the series or the season (mid-season), but did they leave it somewhere that would say that […]
It’s a new year, which can only mean one thing: a new season of Celebrity Apprentice! And according to the most intrepid of news outlets, the veil of secrecy has been lifted on what “celebrities” are set to compete. I’d like to take a moment here and share with you just how rejuvenated this series […]
The juggernaut that is American Idol is about to devour us yet again. Next Tuesday night, January 12, at 8PM, the talent-less talent show returns for its ninth season. And already I’ve got DVR headaches. I should back up and say that 1) Yes, I watch the show, and 2) I am one of the […]
ABC’s new hour long, The Deep End, brings some familiar faces back to television, in a relatively fresh take on the legal drama. Apparently, comparisons to Grey’s Anatomy will be the norm, but I think Ally McBeal is a more accurate comparison. The first hour of The Deep End works for me, based on a […]
It was another very dark week of television with only two and a half hours of new scripted programming. And even without any new competition, only one half hour of that could be considered remotely successful. Better Off Ted (2.69m/1)was the first new show of the week on Tuesday, and it still landed in third […]
If only it were as simple as saying “yes,” but unfortunately it is not. There is, however, a chance for you to check out a “sneak peek” of the first episode of the final season before it premieres on Groundhog Day. I’m not sure about you, but I received an e-mail in my in-box this […]
At some point last summer, on ABC’s slate of new series pickups, a show called Happy Town was listed. There wasn’t a whole lot to go on at the time, and screeners weren’t made available … or, at least, not to many. From what little was seen at the time, Happy Town looked a lot […]
I still find it surprising that I got so into Make It or Break It in its premiere half-season. Not necessarily because I’d categorize the show as being made for a younger — and less male — demographic, but rather because of the copious amounts of teen drama that are guaranteed to play out in its […]
(Season 5, Episodes 7-9) I’m completely not surprised to discover that Michael Emerson won an Emmy for his work on The Practice. Anyone who marvels at the character Benjamin Linus on Lost need only look to Emerson’s turn as William Hinks to see just how expert the actor is at this type of psychopath. And […]
