The theme song to Lipstick Jungle is awesome. It’s hip, jazzy, upbeat, and just plain fun to listen to with its Wurlitzer organ riff. It’s a tune called “The Bomb” from Bitter:Sweet, and available on iTunes and on their album, Drama. I just bought it, so now I’m feeling hip and jazzy. That doesn’t really happen that […]
For the last decade CBS has been successful at doing something that the other networks can’t seem to grasp: creating long-running spinoffs from long-running original series. Granted, it’s had a lot of practice doing this ever since the early ’70s. It was during that time that All in the Family begat the popular and well-remembered series The […]
(Season 1, Episode 9 – “The Dreamscape”) Kind of brings new meaning to the phrase “the butterfly effect” doesn’t it? This was another solid episode in the growing Fringe landscape, bringing Massive Dynamic back into the fold. An aspect that I really enjoyed was that we finally got to see fringe science go beyond even […]
Dear writers and producers of Eli Stone: As I was driving along today, listening to the Christmas music radio station in my car playing “Do They Know It’s Christmas Time at All?” something hit me right between Boy George and the ensemble: I miss George Michael on Eli Stone. I’ve recently bemoaned the old days […]
Ladies and gentleman, television has officially run out of ideas. I thought that was the case when everyone began imitating Survivor, or when they decided to create a game show that had someone choose briefcases held by scantily clad women. But, those were really just leaks from the idea bucket. The following news really means that […]
(Season 6, Episode 9 – “Dagger”) Before last week’s and this week’s episodes of CBS’s NCIS, you probably had the same opinion of Agent Lee as I did: she’s a witch! Okay, not a witch with potions, an evil laugh and warts on her big nose, but someone who does evil things to good people. […]
OK, whether you like it or not, something is going on here. Grey’s Anatomy‘s Izzie has been seeing Denny for too many episodes too ignore. Sure, it was cute at first, and so nice to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan again, but now things are getting serious. Don’t get me wrong — I have adored every […]
(Season 7, Episode 13 – “Family Meeting” – Series Finale) I’m still shaking from the scene in the bedroom. I don’t give a shit if you think that’s spoilery and you haven’t seen the episode. If you saw it, you know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t, well what are you waiting for? I […]
(Season 1, Episode 8 – “The Thin Red Line”) I can see why this show is the number one new show of the season. When you can get a show that combines a police procedural, add a quirky twist to it, and cast as the leading guy someone who is likable and an audience favorite […]
(Season 5, Episode 9 – “Last Resort”) What did I think about the fancy opening of the week? I still love the experimenting they are doing, and the slow motion pan of the hospital clinic was a nice touch. We knew right away we were going to get something very different this week, since the […]
