(Season 2, Episodes 5-8) Thanks for all the tips explaining Scully’s near absence this season after last week’s column. Now that I know she was pregnant, I can’t help but notice all the chest-up angles and seated shots she’s been getting. It was clever of the writers to ultimately work her pregnancy into the story […]
During season six of Seinfeld there was an episode titled “The Label Maker.” Throughout the proceedings, Kramer and Newman engage in a battle for world domination, which for those not in the know, is the game of “Risk.” As the episode concludes, the bumbling duo must finish their game while riding a subway train (don’t […]
(Season 2, Episodes 9-12) Can it be true? Is Duncan really gone? I have to admit that I did head over to IMDb in search of spoilers. Not real spoilers, but I was happy to see that Teddy Dunn is listed as appearing in “credits only” for the rest of the season. Awesome. Were there […]
And, surprisingly so, considering it premiered in the largely panned summer season. I actually think, barring the offerings from cable networks, that The Philanthropist could end up being the granddaddy of summer-time scripted programming. Or am I ignoring lots of stuff? I agree with Debbie that, by and large, the show is very enjoyable. But, […]
My brother warned me. He told me when I started watching Battlestar Galactica I would reach a point of “no mas.” He didn’t tell me when this would happen, but he assured me it definitely would. His sentiments seem to jive with most other die-hard fans of the series. As much as I’ve tried to […]
While pondering a topic for this week’s See Jane Clack, I was struck by the number of shows featuring characters who turn to unscrupulous or illegal means to make a living. These are tough times, but would I turn to selling pot, prostituting myself, or becoming a drug kingpin to make a living? Probably not. […]
(Season One, Episodes 18-20) Ding dong, Vogler’s dead. Or, you know, gone (for what it’s worth, I wrote that line before I watched “Kids”, and House said the same thing). On the one hand, I’ll miss him as a foil for House; but, at the same time, he was just a bit over the top (odd, […]
Tonight has a lot of new TV, including Big Brother and Burn Notice. However, there are some decent reruns airing tonight: there’s a Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice crossover, as well as some Smallville, Supernatural, and of course, The Mentalist. Enjoy! Diamonds are forever, but in the case of Jimmy and Chloe, sometimes they get you kidnapped by […]
