Dear TLC, I hate you. Not just a figurative hate, either. This is a hate that begins at the bottom of my toes and extends to the tips of whatever hair remains on my head. It’s a hatred I save for reality shows, Rush Limbaugh, and According to Jim. In other words, things that will […]
First of all, I was very glad to get back to our regularly scheduled Army Wives this week. Not to take anything away from those of you who enjoyed last week’s divergence, but clearly there was a lot of drama to get to this week, and I for one was anxiously awaiting it. I like […]
If there’s one thing South Park is well known for it’s how true to current events the themes tend to be. In fact, a lot of people were amazed at how the show was able to get an episode out the day after the 2008 elections, featuring Obama in the seat of presidency. They’ve also […]
Last season of How I Met Your Mother had some definite highlights. Remember The Naked Man? How about The Stinsons? Intervention? All classics in my book. So, how’d you like to own all of those on DVD? Because we’ve got one sitting here, ready to find a new home. Two giveaways in one day?! Too […]
When it came to casting, The West Wing was a rock star. And I’m not just talking about one-off guests or mini-arcs, but the heart of the cast as well. But since I could likely get lost saying “a little something” about each one, let’s just leave it at this: job extremely well done. There […]
The Unit had a lot of potential, seeing as how it was created by The Shield‘s Shawn Ryan. But, for me, it may be because it wasn’t on a cable network like FX that I lost interest in it early on. Not that it’s a bad show at all! In fact, it lasted a respectable […]
With the majority of the season premieres in the rear view, business picks back up for DVD sets this week. Big network releases include How I Met Your Mother, CSI: NY, The Unit, Kings, Life On Mars, and a very delayed release for Day Break. From the archives you’ll find my pick of the week, […]
Last week, Debbie talked about how the sidekicks were getting a little more play. That trend continued this week, and hopefully that means she’ll learn that their names are Esposito and Ryan (I kid). The dueling murders, complete with a bet, were the perfect setup to give the two of them more of the spotlight. […]
This is why I liked it: Well written! The veritable opposite of last week! Fine. The performances last week were brilliant. But tonight’s episode redeemed a lot of what seemed to be an over-simplification last week. Thank God House is still in therapy [with the great Andre Braugher!]. I have been worried about how the […]
The moment I was dreading on the show came last week — PennyLenny (Turkey Lurkey’s more wild neighbors) had sex. No, I’m not getting over it. Those two, in my mind at least, were never meant to be a sexual couple. What’s next? Barry Kripke and Sheldon will realize that they’re gay and head over […]
