Leverage revisits the traditional heist

“Why, so they can arrest Hardison’s ego?” – Eliot, on the state police coming Leverage felt slightly off to me tonight after the last few spectacular episodes, but revisiting a traditional heist was a good move on the part of the producers. Some of the complaints we’ve been hearing in the comments here at CliqueClack […]

FOX sent my prescription for House

… in the form of the above pictured press kit. FOX is well known for sending some of the most elaborate press kits for new and returning shows, and the one for House was no exception. Alright, so it’s pretty strange to have a bunch of pencils because, really, who besides elementary school kids, scientists […]

Mad Men – The all singing, all dancing episode

This week’s episode of Mad Men was quite … enlightening. We saw a different side to many of the characters. In addition to seeing Peggy Olson get high, we learned that Don used to pee in the trunks of rich peoples’ cars. What amused me the most though, was how musically inclined the folks at […]

The top five(ish) new shows I’m looking forward to this season

I love lists. I love debating them, discussing them, deciphering them (because yeah, some of the ideas you see out there it takes the Rosetta Stone to comprehend). I think the internets exist solely to give me top ten lists to read. Oddly, however, I’ve yet to write a list-themed post myself, and I figured, with […]

Diary of a Weeds Virgin – Season 4 ends, and Nancy does not redeem herself

I’ve heard that Season 5 of Weeds is not only dark, but bleak. I totally buy it, because the end of season 4 definitely sets the tone. We’ve got skin being sanded off of a person, betrayal, probable murder, kidnapping, and faux-suicide. So, you know, it’s definitely awesome that they keep on putting Mary-Louise Parker in […]

Sliders – CliqueClack Flashback

All throughout my life I’ve been a basement/garage tinkerer. You know, the sorta Jobs-Wozniak thing, stitching together old electronics, auto parts and pieces of wood to make “the next greatest invention.” I think there were a hell of a lot of kids like me in the ’80s who built (or at least tried to build) […]

Fall 2009 pre-season predictions: Wednesday

Wednesday is what I would call the night of opportunities. Ten of the sixteen shows are new, and many of those are dropping into slots that, to be kind, don’t have the highest of expectations. Even better, if you need to make your bones on Wednesday, two of the shows that actually were successful on […]

Rescue Me season five goes out with a bang

An excellent season of hilarious, intense and zany episodes concluded in less than satisfying, but more than appropriate fashion. Teddy, who was a nonentity for months, magically reappeared a couple weeks ago. Much to my dismay, he ended up being significant to the Tommy Gavin character arc. Even though I disliked Teddy this go around, […]

Diary of a Veronica Mars virgin – Paul Rudd tears it up

(Season 3, Episodes 16-18) Thank god for Paul Rudd. With no big mystery stringing these final episodes together, there isn’t a whole lot of focus. Keith is back in the sheriff’s office — which is still strange — and the dating musical-chairs game is in full swing. It’s a shame, as this certainly isn’t a really strong […]

TV on DVD for September 1st

I’ll never understand the thought process behind TV on DVD release dates. Why do so many of them end up coming out just weeks before the new season starts? After everyone just had a whole summer with a drastically reduced television schedule. Shouldn’t there really be a flood of new season sets in May and […]
