Whether you’re into reality fare or highbrow TV, there’s a little bit of everything in tonight’s rerun selections. Take a look: Mental, Fox, 9 p.m. If you missed the pilot earlier this week, check this show out. It’s sort of like House, only with a small-town psychiatric doc who comes to work at a big […]
No need to beat around the bush. Stuff happened this week. Let’s get right to it. Jon & Kate Plus 9.8 million viewers for their season premiere; that’s better than all of the broadcast nets on the night.

I just finished watching Firefly and loved it so much that I immediately wanted to watch it again to catch all the stuff I missed. If you haven’t seen it yet, definitely check it out. The space-western series is Joss Whedon at his best. I fell in love with Capt. Malcolm Reynolds, and not just […]
No drama can be truly great without well written and developed characters. It is why video game movies rarely work, it is why I think The Stand is one of the greatest works in contemporary literature, and it’s why I love television as a dramatic medium.
