(Season 4, Episode 10 – “The Fight”) I know I was supposed to think this was the funniest episode in the history of How I Met Your Mother, but I am just not there. Maybe it’s because the topic wasn’t funny to me, or because the Robin joke got old, but it was just missing […]
(Season 2, Episode 12 – “Alpine Fields”) I want to take a minute to congratulate the writers of this show. They have managed to do something that very few shows can pull off. They have successfully created a program that has fairly self-contained episodes, but still manages to have an overarching story. This isn’t a […]
So we’ve been doing these ‘Tonight on the Tube’ articles for awhile. Occasionally we even get a comment from you guys about a particular show you watch or are excited about. But all in all these go down pretty quietly. Are you liking them? Do you find them helpful? Too wordy? Not informative enough? This […]
We’re back tonight with the Heroes liveblog. The heroes have lost and regained their powers, and this week Claire and Hiro actually get some screen time together when they go back in time to when HRG became her daddy. Meanwhile, Sylar’s back and causing trouble for Peter and the Haitian, while Suresh makes progress on […]
Vampires. You can’t walk down the street these days without stepping on one of them. They’re on television, in books and on the movie screen. Hell, one even moved down the street from me. Which, pardon the pun, sucks because he’s up all night, blasting Yanni tunes from his outside speakers. Hey, some of us living […]
Since the advent of the giant moving picture box there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of Christmas specials that have aired. Most of these have drifted into the ether of television nothingness. However, there are a handful of Christmas shows, mostly animated, that have remained dear to our hearts for decades and have even […]
I am still mad that NBC has canceled the Christian Slater vehicle My Own Worst Enemy. Any time I like a new show, it seems, it gets canceled before it ever has a chance. Some examples include: Daybreak, Journeyman, Moonlight, and The New Amsterdam. I refuse to believe that I am some kind of a […]
Yikes! The “good” reality shows are dwindling away in fall season finales! By “good” I mean ones I watch and enjoy. Your mileage may vary, of course. But the real biggies of the genre are wrapping things up and I fear a dearth coming as the year winds down. Last week it was the end […]
(Ratings Clack 11/30 – 12/6) It was an interesting week for TV numbers. With Tom & Samantha packing up the ballroom, there were viewers to be had on Monday and Tuesday. That meant there were winners (Chuck, The Mentalist), and losers (Samantha Who?, Heroes). The other big story was just how well all of the […]
(Season 13, Episode 11 – “You Look Like Peter Pan” – Season Finale) Most of this race, it’s been a contest between three teams. Dominating have been Nick & Starr, with Ken & Tina performing better early on and having to settle for nipping at Nick & Starr’s heels the rest of the way. The […]
