With the exception of season finales, Rescue Me doesn’t usually resort to cliffhanger episodes. Although, to call last night’s ending a cliffhanger is somewhat misleading. When Tommy rushes into the flames to rescue Damien, we all know he’s not going to die. I mean, it’s Denis Leary’s show; he’s the star; he’s a co-writer and […]
I hesitate to call this a series finale because the talk of a move to syndication is still out there. It remains a long shot, but let’s hold off calling it done until there is official word. That unknown fate of the show obviously factored into how this season finale played out. The dominoes were […]
What a tease! How does a show add a great character, guest or no, and then just yank them out from under us as soon as we’ve grown to love them? Unfortunately, I’m not sure that we’ll ever get an answer to the “Where’s Andy?” question. While I can’t find confirmation of it, I assume […]
(Season 1, Episodes 11 – 15) Apologies for taking so long to get back to this. Some of you may remember I was starting to hate this show. How did I put it? Ah, yes: “Bitches. The lot of them.” And it really doesn’t get any better. However, something strange kicked in around Episode 12 […]
It’s the last Tuesday in May, which means a lot of repeats but not much substance. However, that doesn’t stop us from revisiting these shows because — paraphrasing a previous NBC tag line — they’re new to you. If they’re not new, you can still read insightful and pithy commentary on these shows, prepared by the […]
I may have started watching television crime dramas a little late (I didn’t watch my first episode of Law & Order until 2001-ish), but I have made up for that belated start in sheer quantity. As someone who watches a lot of TV about cops and lawyers, I’m obviously pretty close to being a cop […]
I’m not sure why Fox kept Mental back for the summer; it premieres tonight at 9 pm (EST). It’s basically House, only with mental patients instead of medical ones. In fact, coupled with House, it could very well be the next big hit for them. It’s certainly a well put together medical procedural. On House, […]
(Season 1, Episodes 1-4) I know that Veronica Mars has a very passionate cult following. With that in mind, I am taking my duty as a VM virgin very seriously. After four episodes, though, I have to admit that I’m not sold yet. I’ve been informed that I need to keep with it, and I […]
