Dear Army Wives scribes, What the mother of crap (Friends!) was Sunday night’s episode? A flashback episode … other people’s flashbacks, with our actors playing other roles? Really? Did you forget the high-pitched drama at the end of last week when Joan got “the call?” I can’t imagine a single reason for this divergence, other than […]
The central plot of this week’s Greek was a “dry weekend.” The central plot. Yes, I know just how much these folks drink, but to make a weekend without alcohol into something akin to an almost insurmountable feat? I don’t care about the message it sends to the 18-22 year-olds watching right now; I just think […]
There are so many shows premiering this week that no work is getting done down at the DVD factory. At least, that’s my theory. How else do you explain the shortened list of releases this week? Despite that, there are still a few big ones to take notice of: 30 Rock, Castle, The Mentalist, Terminator, […]
Does anyone else find it curious that while Mad Men was busy winning Emmy after Emmy last night, there was also a new episode on over at AMC? I think it looks kinda bad, but I’m not going to argue in favor of a repeat when I can be getting a fresh episode of Mad […]
I started out this review with mixed feelings, and then they got unmixed as I wrote. In the immortal words of an option not yet available on Facebook: Unlike! Jen Creer doesn’t like this! “Broken” was cliche in so many ways. I don’t want House to get better and to grow. I want House still […]
I find this disturbing. They’re all (except Sheldon) reminding me of Joaquin Phoenix’s last appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Sheldon is reminding me of Maynard G. Krebs on The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. I might end up with nightmares tonight. Of course, I’m talking aesthetics, mind you. I think that Maynard […]
“Beckett, how come you don’t wear a uniform like that?” – one of the cops she works with (I know, I’m going to have to learn their names eventually) “Because I don’t want to get paid in singles.” – Beckett I wrote in my preview post that Castle‘s season two premiere was not only great, […]
Well, Heroes is back and as far as I can tell the ever-dwindling fan base is holding their collective breath, hoping against hope that this season will meet the vast potential that this show has. After the two hour premiere, I’m not quite sure which direction this season is headed. I wrote recently about what […]
Yeah, we still don’t know anything about the Mother, but who cares? Barney stole the show and I didn’t realize how much I had missed him. And the best news? Being with Robin has not castrated him in the least; we’re not suffering from Dave and Maddie syndrome and we still get the Barneyisms. This […]
What’s that smell? That, my red-shirted friend, is the smell of the fourth season premiere of Heroes! I know of a few people who are on the fence about tuning in to the series again, saying it’s lost its touch. And then there are those who think it’s still kicking ass, just as it has […]
