Don’t you hate it when network television cheats with the length of their season? A 22-24 episode year ends up being 20-22, sometimes with a clips show thrown in to really annoy us. Well, cable’s picked up on the sneak as well; last night’s eighth episode of season three of The Tudors was the finale. […]
Ah, Ziva David, what is going on in that crazy little head of yours? We’re trying to figure out if you are an Agent, or if you are an Officer. Frankly, I’m trying to figure out what the difference is. I guess the root question, really is where her loyalties lie. And when I say […]
Rich’s piece last week about how USA Network’s Sunday was West Wing Reunion night got me to thinking a little bit about that old favorite. Unlike many other ensemble shows, The West Wing cast strong actors throughout, people who had careers before, and will continue to have careers long after, the series. While there are […]
Point The murder in this episode — well, technically the episode previous to this one — made up for the extremely lame one from a few weeks back. And can you say gruesome? I have to admit, I was pretty surprised that Tom Wellington bit it so early, as I thought for sure he’d have […]
(Season 1, Episodes 1-4) Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and subsequently Angel, are two of those television shows that I never really got the chance to get into.

I was talking with my brother this weekend at a family cookout and we inevitably got to discussing the Lost finale. He’s almost as obsessed with the show as I am. The focus of our conversation was on the big question that came out of the finale: where the hell is this show going? With […]
Sure, the networks may be light (understatement of the century) on new programming during the summer (hooray for summer cable shows), but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate the repeats a bit and revisit our writers’ insightful, top-notch, award-winning (too much?) commentary…. I don’t have to miss House if I want to revisit “Emancipation,” airing […]
Well, there were probably a lot of non-fans of the reality television genre breathing huge sighs of relief this past week as yet another season of American Idol wrapped up. Survivor Tocantins also ended last Sunday night, but on a very different note. Both shows went out in gala style. However, one was a shocker […]
Just like that, the 2008-2009 season is done. We are now firmly in the grips of the summer television season. That means there will be a months long wait (10 if you’re a Chuck fan!) for new episodes. On the bright side, you’ll have plenty of time to watch the Women’s College World Series (Danielle […]
