I’ve been mulling this post for a while, but all of this Defying Gravity business finally broke my indecisiveness. The good ole Cancellation Watch is one of my favorite fall pastimes. This year, there are some pretty good candidates. As you’ll see after the jump, a lot of the team are hating on the NBC […]
Get past the fact that it’s actually not a crime drama on CBS … the Powers That Be saw fit to produce The Good Wife, a legal drama centered around lawyer Alicia Florrick, played by Julianna Margulies, who recently returns to work to support her family. Why? Her husband Peter was basically a giant douchebag […]
The simple version of the idea behind Bored To Death is that it’s a noir parody. Phillip Marlowe, brought to our modern times and turned on his ear. And, to be sure, there is some of that to be had. Our main character, Jonathan, is a private detective (kind of), and the show does often […]
When last we left The Office, it was pretty obvious that Pam and Jim were expecting. Sorry if that’s a spoiler to you, but even without saying so, I think most of us knew what the silent celebration between Jim and Pam was about. So, how does the sixth season start out? We got a […]
This isn’t a parenting site, so I’ll spare you my birth story. The point is, it did not involve me a) screaming for my husband, b) being forcibly restrained, or c) waking up with a baby in my arms to whom I have no recollection of actually giving birth. WTF. How terrifying was that scene? […]
Multiple media outlets, starting with, as far as I can tell, aceshowbiz.com, have reported that Defying Gravity has been canceled. The show, as Brett has continued to make fun of me for report, has not done well in the ratings, quickly losing the 3.88 million or so viewers it had on its premiere. In light […]
Nation, at this tumultuous time in history, ask not what you can do for your country, but ask where the hell are your manners, young man? Look, I can be a totally rude person, even for the extraordinarily low standards set for my generation. I burp. I fart. I praise other people for burping and […]
Looking over the list of returning shows coming back this month got me thinking. I realized something very peculiar: none of my favorite shows are starting back up again this month. Is this just me? Or is this just another sign that the traditional TV “season” of years past just doesn’t hold up anymore? Sure, […]
I’m enjoying where Army Wives is settling into. No, this is absolutely not the same show that we all loved in season one, but I think that, after missteps in the latter half of season two and first half of this season, the show has finally found where it excels: family drama. If that’s what […]
(Buffy Season 4, Episodes 3-4) (Angel Season 1, Episodes 3-4) Now that’s a crossover between two shows. Brilliantly and seamlessly handled. This is why I chose to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel back-to-back like this. I knew Whedon had dropped little treats like this in for his loyal viewers, and now I can […]
