Our Guest-Clacker today is Julia Hass, a twenty-something living in the Boston area. Upon realizing she could not major in “being Tina Fey” in college, she’s been taking some time off trying to figure out what to do with her life, and watching TV. A lot of TV. She discusses her various attempts at employment, […]
Happy New Year, fellow cliquemates and clackers! 2008 was quite an interesting ride for everyone, and I’m not just talking about TV. The economy is in turmoil, we gained a new President-elect, gasoline prices roller-coastered and, of course, CliqueClack was born. On behalf of the entire CliqueClack team, I want to thank you all for […]
We’ve been watching the annual Twilight Zone marathon on the Sci-Fi Channel all day, and it got me to thinking once again how brilliant the show is. How does it manage to scare the living daylights out of us with so few special effects? Oh sure, there’s the creepy “normal” people in “Eye of the […]
(Season 2, Episode 9 – “Two Ministers”) Oh, it was a banner week for our Eli. A banner week indeed. On the plus side, he did get to help a transgender minister try and get his flock back. That was the official “case of the week.” And while it was good, and gave us some […]
It wouldn’t be the last day of the year if we didn’t somehow mark the top something, now would it? Sure, we could write a bunch of posts highlighting subjective lists about the best on TV this year, but that sure wouldn’t be original. We wanted to do something a bit different here. So why […]
(Season 1, Episodes 7-13) If I weren’t sold before, after finishing the first season of The Wire, I can now consider myself an avowed fan. The first half of the season was a lot of build up , and it turned out that the second half was a lot of pay off. I can’t wait […]
From the neon lights of Biscayne Boulevard to the feral swamps of the Everglades, the mid-1980s belonged to Miami Vice. Debuting in 1984 — on NBC at 10pm — the series not only altered cop shows, it influenced all of television by bringing a movie-like look and feel to the small screen. By setting and […]
Aryeh S. is back guest clacking for us again today …. Generally, one would use this type of column to arrive at a conclusion by making points to support a theory. In this instance, I will answer my posed question and then work backwards, so as not to leave you all thinking that I’m crazy: […]
(Season 1, Episodes 1-6) About a month ago, I asked all my fellow TV fans to help me figure out which show I should be catching up on via DVD. Now, Dexter did win by a comfortable margin, and I plan on watching it, but I ended up choosing The Wire. In my defense, I […]
(Season 1, Episode 5 – “The Bank Shot Job”) Hrmmmm …. This episode was originally supposed to be aired as the seventh episode on January 13. I was really looking forward to “The Wedding Job,” which was slated for tonight. It sounded like a fun romp, with the gang undercover as wedding planners. Did I […]
