(Season 8, Episode 9) “Doomsday is coming.” – Brainiac The final scene of this week’s installment of Smallville, added to the previews for next week’s episode, made me want to have the power to travel through time so it was November 20 already! Doomsday, as in a time of catastrophic destruction and death and the […]
I love my Patiots, I really do. But this Thursday Night Football thing takes some getting used to. While a bunch of ABC shows were airing at their regular time most other places around the country, we New Englanders have to wait until 1 AM to watch shows like Grey’s Anatomy, or Saturday morning for […]
After premiering with the highest ratings of any new series on Sci Fi since Eureka, Amanda Tapping’s pet project seemed almost inevitably headed toward a pick-up. Today, Sanctuary got that second season renewal, with 13 more episodes slated for 2009. I think the show is really starting to settle into a nice groove, fleshing out […]
One of the women’s magazines used to have a popular column called “Can this marriage be saved?” That’s how I feel about Heroes. I need a mediator to help me work through my feelings about Heroes. Who among you is willing to take on this monumental task? Clearly, the show is doing some major damage […]

I mean, I know it’s inevitable, but the show seems to be deliberately removing obstacles and moving us in that direction. Take […]
(Season 2, Episode 8) I love this show. This and Pushing Daisies are my favorite shows that debuted last season, and now that it looks like Daisies may bite the dust, Life better continue to get decent ratings, or I will freak the hell out. Anyway, speaking of freaking out, I love that this episode […]
There have been a few sports miracles in my lifetime: the 1980 US hockey team, Doug Flutie’s hail mary, and Anna Kournikova’s first Maxim spread to name just a few. Well, I’m about to add one to the list: Kenny Mayne’s web-only series Mayne Street doesn’t suck. In fact, it doesn’t suck so much that […]
We’re into the doldrums of the Lost off-season, or so it seems. Things are quiet out there in the Lost universe, but there are a few things going on… The big news: We finally have a launch date for season five! Mark your calendars fellow Lost fanatics — January 21st is the day. It’s going […]
(Season 11, Episode 12) This is the last episode before the big finale, in which one lucky girl will win the competition and the grand prize of a ticket straight into obscurity. Although, to be fair, we already know that at least two of the top three are getting jobs, but there will be more […]
