I don’t know what it was about a group of sassy old ladies that so enthralled a seven-year-old, but I loved watching The Golden Girls. They were bawdy and funny and kind of reminded me of my crazy grandma Iris who lived in Florida and sang Karaoke every week while drunken frat boys on spring […]
There are four hours left of this final season of Prison Break before it’s all over, so I guess they can be allowed a slow episode. This episode was entitled “VS.” or “Vs.” depending on where you looked. That’s because there was an ain’t-you-clever double meaning there. We now have three factions fighting against one […]
Forget the storylines on this week’s episode of Private Practice. It was all about the guest stars. Gee, if they keep landing people like this, I just might have to keep tuning in. The first was James Morrison, a.k.a. Bill Buchanan on 24. Man, is he hot with that white mane and buff bod. And […]
I’m a nerd. I’m not sure if this has come through in my writing to this point, but if it hasn’t, this post will make it clear. As part of being a nerdy hipster, I listen to NPR, and in particular, have an enormous fondness for This American Life. It’s the one radio show and […]
Along with the Izzie-dying story on Grey’s Anatomy this week, the other one that got me fired up was Callie and her dad (played by the always-brilliant Hector Elizondo). First of all, the scene where Callie let loose in Spanish was brilliant. We’ve seen bits and pieces of her heritage here and there, but this […]
(Season 1, Episodes 1-3) That’s right, I’m back! After venturing through the mean streets of The Wire, I’m ready to tackle my next show: Six Feet Under. I had heard lots of good things about it, and I was curious. American Beauty is one of my favorite movies, so I was interested to see what […]
Just when you thought that the Dollhouse couldn’t be more sinister, along comes “Haunted.” We’ve seen a host of horrible things that the company is capable of, but now the idea of selling replacement bodies has been floated. And it’s all kinds of creepy. It’s not technically what the story, a one-off murder mystery, was […]
This week’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy was a real downer. From Izzie dying to Bailey cradling a dying kid to the guy leaping through a hospital window and crashing onto a car below … good f-ing grief! OK, focus, Jane. Let’s talk about the Izzie-dying story. It was just weird. I sort of just want […]
If I had to choose to marry one person on television, I, like millions of women everywhere, would choose Jim Halpert. But he’s been disappointing me for a while now. Have some vision, Jim! Have some ambition! Some spine! So this episode didn’t exactly address those concerns, but at the very least, I fell back […]
I don’t know if you cowboys have heard, but there’s a new show in town, goes by the name of Parks and Recreation. Stars that blond chick from Saturday Night Live? Yeah, that’s the one. Here at fictional CliqueClack headquarters, the job/responsibility/privilege of who’s going to write up this show has been going around like […]
