(1/12 – 1/18) Yes, of course, the big story this week was the return of American Idol. It didn’t disappoint, from a numbers perspective. Both installments easily won their nights. We all expected that though, right? The more interesting bit of the Idol story was the effect the show had, or didn’t have, on the […]
One of the items I didn’t have a chance to mention in this week’s ER review was the return of Alex Kingston as Dr. Elizabeth Corday. Though she didn’t have a big part in the episode, Corday seemed to play an integral part to Neela’s dream state. Now Chief of Trauma Surgery at Dartmouth University’s hospital, Corday was in […]
“Marshall’s getting ready to read a big ol’ magazine in the bathroom you share with him!” –Spencer Pratt taunts Marshall from the cover of a magazine on How I Met Your Mother. The subplot on this week’s HIMYM of Marshall not being able to poop at work wasn’t really all that funny to me. However, […]
(Season 1, Episode 13 – “Paint It Red”) “Jane doesn’t get sick, Rigsby doesn’t date because he’s in love with you, and the Kings aren’t playing tonight.” – Lisbon, to Van Pelt I loved the start of this episode. When the Pittsburgh Steeler player made that last interception and sealed the game for … oh, […]
(Season 3, Episode 1 – “Block Party” – Season Premiere) They’re baaaaaaaack! If you’re like me, you’re delighted to be back in the Henrickson/Grant/Heffman home(s) with the premiere of the third season of Big Love. Roman Grant is still in jail, and it was hilarious when the lawyers were explaining that the charge was basically […]
(Season 8, Episode 11, “Legion”) My favorite Smallville episodes are those filled with Superman mythology. So it’s without surprise that I enjoyed “Legion” even if my least favorite character — Lana — was a major part of the episode. Thanks to Legion of Superheroes members Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy, we were given […]
TV is back in full swing after the holidays, and so is Quotation Marks. In this edition, we ponder “yo momma jokes,” Kim Kardashian, and everyone’s favorite love serum, Drakkar Noir. Saturday Night Live: “I ate a whole tray of mini cannoli and thought about the ’80s.” — Kristen Wiig as Kathie Lee Gifford, commenting […]
With the real White House changing hands this week, I started to reminisce about some of my favorite TV presidents past. In no particular order (other than from worst to best): Allison Taylor, 24: No offense intended, President Taylor, but we just don’t know much about you yet. To be honest, I don’t know any […]
When Kevin McKidd showed up at Seattle Grace and started kicking butt and taking names, I thought great, here’s a guy who’s a man’s man. A guy who’s not afraid to take charge and do what’s necessary to save lives. A guy who grabs a girl and kisses her, just because he feels like it. […]
Week of January 11 to January 17 Clever, insolent, creative, irreverent; even a little twisted. I speak of the writers here at CliqueClack, and the unique posts they churn out day after day. How could we let seven days go by without highlighting some of the week’s gems? (If you’d like to receive this in […]
