It’s bad enough Lance comes across as more of a meathead than a lawyer on this show. Knowing that he’s a lawyer, though, means he’s just perpetuating negative stereotypes of the profession. Yes, he’s strong-willed and competitive, which are good traits in the legal profession, but he’s also treating his fiance like complete and total […]
As quickly as the dead are stacking up for me in the new fall season, I am incredibly surprised at how many new shows I’m not just “giving another shot,” but rather that I find myself looking forward to. Usually, the most a new series will do for me these days is get me to […]
Beware of those dog days of August if you’re married and it’s 1963. I never thought that I would be comparing Pete and Betty while watching Mad Men, but, by golly, they were certainly going through parallel plots in this episode, weren’t they? I didn’t think this episode carried quite the same gravity as the […]
One of the highlights of “Instinct” was the return of Miracle Laurie as Madeline. If nothing else, it at least suggests that this season isn’t going to be all Echo all the time. Something that I think could play a part in the mysterious disappearance of another 500,000 viewers. In addition, the Mellie/November/Madeline character still […]
As I continue exploring some of my favorite moments from the past five seasons of Lost, this week I get to the moment that is probably my favorite of them all. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the more polarizing scenes in the show. I’ve never considered myself a shipper at all, in regards to just […]
I had a tough time figuring out how I’d order my Sunday night’s lineup, and there’s a very close fourth show that I struggled with adding over Entourage. Curb Your Enthusiasm — The Seinfeld moments alone give this episode my number one pick of the night. I caught this episode a couple of weeks ago, […]
Week two of the full-tilt-boogie season brought with it some interesting things, including premieres for Animation Domination, The Amazing Race, Trauma, Hank, and The Middle. We also saw more huge numbers from House, NCIS, and Grey’s. But after all of that, the most interesting story again comes from the show with the worst ratings on […]
What did people have against Matt Damon’s appearance after the end of last week’s episode of Entourage? Well, not him so much as Vince’s stumbling through a spot for the Damon supported charity onexone. People said things like, “Clearly it was scripted, but it’s no fake Vince/Adrian Grenier,” or “Damon really was frustrated with how crappy an […]
Now that Dexter has a wife (still a hard concept to grasp), said-wife Rita has taken a larger role in the season, whereas previous seasons she was featured as a mere convenience for Dexter when he wanted to “appear normal.” With that is Rita rather forcibly making herself part of Dexter’s life. Her going out […]
Why, oh why, must Hank be saddled with these dark daughter figures? From his own daughter, Becca, to “daughter” Mia, to new addition to the club Jackie (Eva Amurri), Hank has a hell of a lot of angst from the women he technically shouldn’t be sleeping with. I mean, I can see why he puts […]
