Last week was a bit of an odd one for programming as the networks went a bit experimental. Over at FOX, Bones tried its third night in a week. On ABC, The Unusuals took over for Cupid and someone gave the OK for another Lost clip show. CBS continued the shuffling of their procedurals by […]
I know; I just couldn’t resist. Some shows lend their names to corny lines and poor puns. What are you going to do? However, not all shows lend themselves to having their easily punned titles played with. Sometimes, you just luck into a situation…. Like with In Plain Sight: Rafe (Cristián de la Fuente) has […]
What a time it is for reality television fans! I think this week’s Tribal Council on Survivor had to be one of the best and most entertaining ever on the show. Sure, I enjoy blindsides on the show. But this one was a humdinger and a true blindside of someone I so wanted gone. Two […]
The 1981 party is over for Alex Drake. Well, not really. Since there is a season two on the way for Ashes to Ashes, not everything was cleared up during Saturday night’s season finale. At least the creators didn’t spring a Lost-esque maddening cliffhanger that we have to ponder for 16 months until the new […]
is considered by many now to have been way ahead of its time back in 1966 when it first hit the television airwaves. So isn’t it about time that this series come to the new media format of Blu-Ray? And just in time for J.J. Abrams’ reimagining of the franchise, hitting theaters this Friday. As […]
A little warning for you: this post is a rant. Sigh. This week we were “treated” to a new clip show instead of a new episode of Lost. I don’t understand who the target audience is for these clip shows, which ABC seems to be in love with. Are they targeted to serious fans of […]
For those of you who join us for our live Heroes chats or just read the transcripts afterward, you know that I’ve been running really hot and cold on Heroes. This show wanders worse than any series since the last few seasons of Alias, and it can be infuriating. Heroes is not unlike a hyperactive […]
One of my favorite things about the Quotation Marks feature is that, when you look at all of these quotes from the week together in one place, it really strikes you how dirty network TV has gotten in the past several years. Whether it’s double entendres about shooting, having sex with the same girl or […]
Though Obama released Bush Era torture memos ten days ago, they’re still all anyone in the news media (both real and fake) has been able to talk about since. I can’t really say why. Perhaps they take a very long time to read? Perhaps people are comforted by finding something even more depressing than the […]
Season 2, episodes 20-22 You all told me that the ending of season two was spectacular. Don’t worry, I believed you, but it was so amazing to finally experience it myself. Jensen Ackles just keeps upping the game. Dean has become one of the most three-dimensional, complex, well-acted characters on television. Can’t wait to see […]
