The syndicated format works! We knew it worked in the ’90s when the likes of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess were rocking our airwaves. Even Baywatch, Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek: DS9 and Babylon 5 were syndicated. But then somewhere along the way somebody decided that original run syndicated scripted programming was […]
I’ve seen the pilot and the third episode of Castle, ABC’s new procedural (yeah, but give it a chance!) starring Nathan Fillion. The news is all good, very good, in fact. The premise is that Rick Castle, best-selling murder mystery author, has a serial killer copycatting the murders from his books. This is the springboard […]
Why the Kanye? Hell, why not? Rules of Engagement is back, and I’m celebrating! Okay, I know what you’re all thinking: what about Worst Week? Yes, it’s true that Rules of Engagement will be assuming Worst Week‘s time-slot for now. But, never fear: CBS is not making any statement about the fate of either show […]
The brewing battle of the sexes finally boiled over in the recent edition of Real World: Brooklyn. After weeks of poking and prodding from both sides, a late night clear the air session turned ugly. Fingers were pointed, voices were raised and furniture was smashed. What exactly precipitated this rampage? Try dirty dishes. To think […]
Dear Life on Mars writers — Fans of your show are waiting mighty patiently here for some sort of advancement in the main plotline: Sam’s predicament. First we endured a dangling cliffhanger a few weeks ago, where the episodes were aired out of order (I know — not necessarily your fault). In the cliffhanger “resolution” […]
Last week’s Idol was so disappointing, I didn’t have high hopes for group 2. Thankfully, some of them stepped up their game and made it a lot of fun! I’m talking to you, Adam Lambert. I wasn’t sure about him singing the Rolling Stones, but he totally kicked ass by rocking the high notes and […]
They say that the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem. For me, I recognize that I have one but am not interested in recovering from it. That’s right; for some reason, I enjoy The Celebrity Apprentice (3/1 at 9:00 PM on NBC). Or, to put it more accurately, I enjoy […]
Bravo’s battle for kitchen dominance came to a head Wednesday night, featuring an odd collection of challengers. And really, you could have made a case for picking any of them to win it all. Stefan is probably the most skilled, but he’s also a bit of a jackass, and his confidence could get him into […]
Well, we knew this episode was coming, and we knew that we would have a little diversion from Jack, Kate, and Hurley back on the island. I really enjoyed tonight’s episode — let me say that right now — but it did seem like it was a bit of a necessary evil. We sort of […]
Back when Soap premiered on ABC in 1977, you could say I was a little too young to watch it. So young in fact, that I hadn’t even been born yet. Hell, even when when the series ended its run in 1981, I still had not made my way into existence. So how is it […]
