Top Chef gets three finalists, and a welcome return

I’ll save who moved on to the big finale for after the jump, but that’s not my main point with this post. And it’s not the fact that my early pick to win it all, Jamie, was back this week with a shot to get back in the competition. No, far and away the best […]

I hate Lost Untangled

Who is the brainchild behind these 30-second wonders of special effects and acting that interrupt my precious commercial watching time during Life on Mars? My four-year-old son and a Flip Mino could do a more entertaining and non-mind-numbing job. I understand what ABC is trying to do … actually, no, I have no freaking clue […]

Life on Mars – Who’s the man with the white rabbit head cane?

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve never seen the British version of Life on Mars. I also haven’t yet started watching the original The Prisoner series (though I plan to very soon). However, as soon as I saw the guy pictured above, I thought this was a character pulled right from one of those shows. You […]

Lost – More questions, and coincidences, than usual

Well that was all sort of … anticlimactic, wasn’t it? Who would have thought that Jack was actually on to something at the end of season three when he was making full use of that golden ticket from Oceanic, hoping to cause a crash back onto the island? It was an interesting episode, but left […]

CliqueClack Flashback – Daria

There was a time when it was okay to like MTV. In fact, for certain age groups, voluntarily viewing MTV was expected, unlike today, when no self-respecting person of any demographic should acknowledge the channel’s very existence, let alone pay attention to it. The early 2000s marked that shift into disaster territory; MTV did a […]

CliqueClack Flashback – Carnivàle

Like many of the shows featured on CliqueClack Flashback, HBO’s Carnivàle had — and I daresay still has — quite a cult following. I’ve heard many people compare the show to Twin Peaks, and since I’ve never seen Twin Peaks beyond the movie, I can’t quite attest to that. Both were definitely otherwordly bizarre and […]

BBC Babble – Coming in 2009

I’ve reviewed a number of good shows already here at the Babble. BBC America doesn’t appear to be slowing down, as they have a host of new series, movies and fresh seasons of established faves on tap for 2009. Here’s a quick preview of what’s in store for the coming months. Mistresses – Debuts this […]

You know what The Mentalist needs? More lesbians and sword fights

Sure, I could talk about how obvious the identity of the killer was on last night’s episode of The Mentalist. But I’d rather talk about lesbians. One of the plot twists in the episode was the fact that a couple of the Real Housewives of Sacramento County were lesbians. Rigsby and Cho caught them in […]

Leverage’s team – Is everyone an addict?

That is the question, isn’t it? When the team organizes the intervention for Nate, whose drinking problem was getting worse, Sophie says that he doesn’t need rehab — Nate needs revenge. So they plan to screw over Blackpoole, the CEO of IYS (the company Nate used to work for) and the man responsible for denying […]

The Middleman is canceled (pretty much) – UPDATE

Ever since The Middleman aired its first season finale last September, fans have been waiting desperately for some sign as to what was going to happen to the ABC Family show. It’s gotten no word of renewal nor cancellation, and anyone associated with the show is simply keeping their mouths shut about it. Well, I’d […]
