(Season 2, Episodes 6-7) Does Gossip Girl ever have peaks and valleys when it comes to drama? For a season and a half, it has felt like just … stuff happening. It’s non-stop and ridiculous, that’s for sure, but it doesn’t feel like there are consequences to anyone’s actions. For a while, I thought the […]
Two strong and two weak; this season of Army Wives is shaking out into a formula: Roxy and Pamela get the hijinxs and the nonsense, while Denise gets the emotion and Claudia Joy the heartache. Well, Claudia Joy’s kind of disappearing, but let’s pretend. Oh, and Roland gets the headaches. So, wait … what’s the count at? […]
In a pleasant surprise, The Closer bucked the trend and picked right back up with the Charlie story this week. I’ve become so use to ideas being floated, and then set aside to be picked up later, that it was almost unexpected. The latest chapter in Charlie’s story also played well with the case of the week. […]
So much so, in fact, that I don’t know how much longer I can hold on here. And that pisses me off, because I’ve really been enjoying Make It or Break It … but how much can we take? Lauren’s just an absolute horror. First of all, how disgusting can she be to Summer? The […]
I got an Everybody Loves Raymond chill when Doug squared off against that mouthy Nature Scout on Weeds. What, she can’t share her cookie corner with the newest “You’re Pretty!” salesman? Rude. It’s official: Celia’s now a drug dealer … is the show coming full circle, to end up with Celia marrying a Mexican drug-kingpin? […]
My God, when will it end? I can’t take much more of these reruns. Hell, I’m starting to wish for a fresh episode of According to Jim just to get some new material! I. Need. New. Episodes! Well, CBS may not have much in the way of new material, but at least they’re reliable. For […]
After a few weeks in a row with big releases, things are slowing down a bit this week. None of the big network shows are represented. It looks like they all decided to gang up on your wallets next week. 90210 and Life With Derek are the most contemporary offerings, with my personal pick being […]
(Season 2, Episodes 20-22) Season two is over, and it would seem that quite a few people think I’ve seen all the Veronica Mars that’s worth seeing. I’m too curious, though, so I’ll be giving season three a chance. Overall, I didn’t think that season two was quite as tight as season one. The ending […]
Last Thursday, ’80s filmmaking icon John Hughes suffered a fatal heart attack. He was only 59 years old. As far as teen comedies are concerned, Hughes ruled the genre from 1983-1990. He only directed eight films during his ephemeral career, but wrote close to forty screenplays. The list of movies bearing his signature is impressive: […]
Those of you who’ve learned how to play this game are still drunk, or in jail, from the weekend…. At 8:00, TNT offers up last week’s episode of The Closer, “Identity Theft.” USA has a familiar NCIS caper, while TBS decides to go with the (kinda) funny stylings of Family Guy. Over on ABC, it’s […]
