So finally the storyline that I’ve hated comes together with the characters that have been having a good time out in Dallas. Can the travelers save Bon Temps (and by “save Bon Temps” I mean save the story, and not necessarily the town)? Sookie finally meeting MaryAnn was a good start, finally putting together the […]
Everyone, anywhere has a backstory, a history of their lives, or a collection of events that has brought them to any particular moment. Most shows build certain portions of this history into the narrative, some use flashbacks to tell them. Defying Gravity really isn’t using flashbacks as much as it’s just telling two stories, five […]
You know we at CliqueClack are big fans of TNT’s Leverage. Did you know we really like Wil Wheaton, too? So when Wil landed a guest spot on this week’s Leverage (“The Two Live Crew Job,” airing Wednesday night at 9:00) we knew we’d have to talk to him about it, and I was the […]
It’s another week where the ratings news from cable is much more interesting than anything happening on the networks. The big story was the premiere of Project Runway (finally) on Lifetime, but there was plenty more fun to be had. Also getting in on the premiere game was Mad Men, Kourtney and Khloe, Hoarders, Ghost […]
I was as excited as anyone about Fringe at the start of last season. My hopes were really high for the show, but after five or six episodes it became pretty evident that the show just wasn’t for me. I’ve never been a big fan of procedurals, and the format of Fringe was too case-of-the-week […]
Project Runway: All-Star Challenge [You’ll have to work with me on this one, but it’s easily the quote of the week] “When I see boobs going all over the place I get dizzy.” — Heidi [not liking that one of the models, who was wearing a really tight t-shirt, wasn’t wearing a bra] “Me too!” […]
I want to like Smallville more than I do. I’m not the biggest comic book geek in the world, but I can hold my own. I tried the show when it first came out, but it didn’t catch my interest. A couple of years I blew through five or so seasons of DVDs one lazy […]
Mitchell’s return to the nest didn’t go as swimmingly as he expected. Herrick sold him a bill of goods about it being different, but feeding off a gaggle of runaways while mobilizing an army of undead wasn’t what Mitchell had in mind. So, he split again. Herrick was right about one thing — Mitchell needs […]
The DVD for the eighth season of Scrubs comes out next Tuesday, and we happened to get an advance copy the other day. As you know (at least if you’re a fan of Scrubs), the eighth season aired on ABC rather than NBC, so it’s only natural that the DVD would be associated with that […]
The new television season is so close. Finally. As we get ready for the premieres to start, the media machines are powering up, bringing us things like the picture above (click it for full size). Heroes, in a desperate last grasp to get some of their viewers back, are apparently basing the new season on […]
