We seem to have a glut of nursing shows right now, and I’ve been wondering why. Nursing shows aren’t new, per se. If you look back through history, you’ve got Julia, the 1968 series in which Diahann Carroll played a young nurse and single mom. The show was groundbreaking for a variety of reasons, namely […]
I said it once before, but it bears repeating — I love Canada, and Canadian things. And very high up on that list, just below Catriona Le May-Doan, but above curling and the fact that Canadian cities have names like Moose Jaw, are the girls from Seeking Simone. They’re just so funny. If you have also […]
Did you watch Better off Ted this season? Judging by the dismal ratingsit gets week after week, my guess is no. In fact, I actually thought it had been cancelled, and was pretty shocked when I found it would be coming back as a mid-season replacement. What’s even more shocking (follow along if you can here), is the lack […]
Last I left you in my Battlestar Galactica virgin diary, the human/Cylon contingent discovered Earth. Everything appeared hunky-dory for the remainder of the human race. Too bad Earth had been nuked into oblivion, thus rendering it uninhabitable. Shit. These guys and gals and robots just can’t buy a break. Just when they started looking on […]
Weird, wild stuff people. Wee-Bey (Hassan Johnson) was the fiercest of Avon supporters, right-hand man to the king. Chris (Gbenga Akinnagbe) was Marlo’s enforcer; no grunt, but certainly not a top officer. A bit off the traditional chain of command, since he and Snoop ran their own arm of the operation. But, hop to a new […]
(Season 2, Episodes 5-8) Oh me oh my, but is Bobby in for a wild ride with Helen Gamble (Lara Flynn Boyle). I’m not sure I want to see him with a love interest, but I guess you never know unless you try. Lindsay struggling with her role as a criminal lawyer for drug dealers […]
(Season 3, Episodes 1-3) Well, I’ve done it. I’ve started the much-maligned third (and final) season of Veronica Mars. So far nothing has really offended me that much. Instead, it pretty much still feels like Veronica Mars, with one notable exception… Why the hell did the producers feel it was necessary to mess with the […]
(Season 2, Episodes 22-25) Another season comes to an end, and with it comes a much more satisfying progression of The X-Files as a whole. I was getting bored at parts earlier in this season, but they ratcheted up both the quality of the stand-alone episodes, as well as the personal implications of Mulder’s work. […]
Your favorite Oklahoma City Detective and mine, Grace Hanadarko, has been through some serious crap this season. From catching Ronnie cheating, to having her family targeted by an old collar of hers, to, oh yeah, getting kidnapped and held hostage, one could easily say that she’s had a hell of a summer. This week, she […]
Did you ever wonder what it would be like if Jason Priestley directed Falcon Beach? No? Maybe I should back up and ask if you ever saw Falcon Beach. I’m not sure how it happened, but somewhere along my television viewing path I developed an affinity for the teen drama. Mostly, I blame the-N. Because […]
