I’m not sure how to explain it, but there’s something about Men of a Certain Age that just makes me smile. It could be the great acting, or the stories that suck me in without really being about much at all. Or maybe it’s the great writing. But whatever it is, MOCA has come along […]
The 67th Annual Golden Globes nominations were announced this past week, and as is usual for a bunch of talkative bloggers like ourselves, we’ve got our own take on who we think should take the award for each category … that is, from those who were nominated. If there’s time before the awards date (January […]
I loved this poem so much that I wanted to share it once again this year. Thanks again to the mucho-talented Bill White for all of the illustrations, and to the CliqueClack team for providing all the stanzas. Folks at FOX, heed our warning…. ‘Twas the night before upfronts, and to the set of House […]
Since Lost has come on the air and become a success, many shows have tried to emulate it. This year, it seems like FlashForward is really trying to pick up the Lost mantle, but hasn’t reached the quality level of Lost yet. I spent a little time recently thinking about what it is that has […]
It was another very holiday week on television, with schedules full of repeats and seasonal specials. CBS was the only network that really tried, and it paid big dividends. With all new programming on Monday through Thursday the network won all 12 hours in viewers, and 11 of them in the demo. Of course, just […]

Torchwood DVD and Blu-ray DVDs (all seasons!) are 51-61% off in today’s Gold Box deal (that means today only). The Original Christmas Classics (Rudolph the Red-Nosed […]
This week’s episode started out promising, but it ended off in the traditional SNL way, with sketches that are either outright not funny or just come out as “meh.” It was strange that the episode actually ran a little longer than usual, and with what I think might have been a pre-recorded sketch. No post-episode […]
First we had the giveaway for Robot Chicken season four on DVD (winners notified very soon!), and now I’ve had the chance to review it. As I’ve done with past animated releases, I’ll do two things: tell you what’s extra on the DVD and give you my favorite clips from the entire season. First, the […]
Sanctuary has always been unabashedly derivative, so it was only a matter of time before we got an episode that reflects the current interest in young, hot vampires. Sanctuary‘s smart move was to put a tongue-in-cheek spin on the story. Squeezing in references to True Blood, Buffy, and of course Bram Stoker, the writers entered […]
