Highlights of the Week Ohmygodohmygodohmygod it’s THE JONAS BROTHERS! They’re going to be at Teen Choice 2009, the awards show so cool they took “Award” right out of the title. How badass are they (Mon. 8pm, FOX)? If you’re a little older, how about: Ohmygodohmygodohmygod it’s Neil Diamond – Hot August Night: NYC (Fri. 8pm, […]
Full disclosure: I was so bored last night, I had to fight to stay awake. Wow; just not a good episode. And for a season finale? I think the writers of In Plain Sight may have tried to dig a bit too deep with this season, what with the additional three episodes over last. I’m […]
(Season 3, Episodes 9-11) Still chugging along; if only more shows were as consistently inventive and entertaining as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. FOX recently said they intend to let creator Joss Whedon just be Joss in the new season of Dollhouse, rather than interfere like they did with Firefly. Maybe they went back and watched Buffy […]
(Season Two, Episode Eight) Over the course of the first half of the season, True Blood has slowly diverged into two separate stories: one based in Dallas, and one in Bon Temps. While everyone (including myself) has been talking about how well the show has been doing, tonight’s episode put a very fine point on […]
You know spies — bunch of bitchy little girls. And this week in the ratings post, our favorite spies were beaten by some little girls. It was very close though, if that makes the shot to the ego a little easier to take for Sam and Michael. Those two were the headlines for what was […]
Loathing seems to be much of the response of the interwebs after last week’s premiere. Now that I’ve had a week to listen to the opinions of, well, just about everyone, I’m still digging Defying Gravity. I get that I might be the only person out there that is, but I’m going to hold onto […]
We’re actually coming to the end of season 2 here. There’s a lot of action in the last two episodes, and we get a pretty interesting resolution to the whole Carla storyline. I wouldn’t necessarily call it a satisfying resolution, but it was interesting. In the meantime, we get a secret fiancee, an aborted trip […]
As I wind down my summer series of looking at how different shows deal with their MacGuffins, I want to talk about Desperate Housewives. I have to start by disclosing an important bit of information: I only watched the first two seasons of Desperate Housewives, so I can’t really comment on the latest few seasons. […]
Another great quotation week in the world of Television. The great lines weren’t all just on scripted television, as it seemed to be the week of taking shots at NBC, and their … uh … suspect decision making as of late. Can’t say that I blame them. Welcome to the #nbcfail party, boys and girls […]
I see the pattern. Episode one was all about Mitchell. Chapter two dealt with George. Last night, we got the scoop on Annie. Being Human is starting to take shape. Like most shows of its ilk, at least the ones I like anyway, it’s been able to balance the humor and drama quite nicely. If […]
