True Blood has been hitting on all cylinders this entire season. Bill has finally woken up from his coma, Jason is getting himself into all sorts of trouble, and we are finally getting into the vampire mythology outside of Bon Temps. Oh, and Lafayette…. You’ve got to love Lafayette. I do have to admit I’m […]
It’s all about America in tonight’s repeats. There’s America’s Got Talent, America’s Next Top Model, and America’s Funniest Home Videos. If you aren’t feeling patriotic, there is also the normal lineup of procedurals for you…. CBS is your rock, folks, featuring the same lineup that they have had all summer. The evening starts with episodes […]
As with most of the series that I’ve chosen to flashback to, writing about The Sopranos frightens me. How in the world is it possible to reflect on the magnitude of this work in just a (relatively) short post? There’s only one place to start: this 86-episode opus, which spanned eight and-a-half years, and six […]
(Season 3, Episodes 13-15) I’ve got to say one thing for the Weeds folks: they keep you on your toes. I like how they seem to almost reboot the series at the end of every season. They change the dynamics enough to keep it interesting. After watching the season 3 finale, I have no idea what […]
To say that I hate reality television unfortunately isn’t much of an overstatement. I recognize that there is some quality programming in the genre, but I think that the genre, in general, has done more to hurt scripted programming than they have to help television in general. Shows like Survivor, American Idol, and The Amazing […]
Back-to-back ho-hum episodes for Rescue Me. I call these last couple the calm before the storm. Only five chapters remain in what has been, in my opinion, the best season since number two. The drama has been ratcheted up big time, so a short hiatus to goof off comes as a welcome reprieve. Since there […]
The theme of this weeks episode of Weeds was a struggle for patriarchal claim to Nancy’s new baby. Yes, it’s Esteban’s kid (we’re assuming Nancy didn’t have multiple suitors at that point in time), but Nancy’s luck, and Esteban’s mysterious female backer, Pilar (Kate del Castillo), all dictate that it not be so. At least not […]
By now a lot of you have probably read about the Dollhouse Season One DVD set, and the special features that come with it. Two special features of note are the original, unaired pilot titled “Echo,” and the also unaired episode “Epitaph One,” which was originally tapped to air as the first season’s 13th episode. […]
Dollhouse finally gave the world the final episode of season one last week, at the San Diego Comic-Con…. OK, so it really gave the rest of us the episode this week, with the DVD and Blu-ray release, but who’s splitting hairs? Brett talked about it last week, but now that everyone is getting a chance […]
Because, you know it had to be something for women; I don’t think Julie’s (Bess Rous) really building an inventory for men. Geez, did that housewares party throw me for a loop! This week we got a lot of Joan. Now, I’ve never been a huge fan, and the beginning of the most recent episode […]
