We’re starting to settle into a groove with the 08/09 season now. That’s good for some shows, and rather daunting for others. That should figure in as the networks start handing out full season orders. We saw a couple of those last week (The Mentalist, Terminator:TSCC) that were at opposite ends of the spectrum. Following up on […]
Wow, the giveaway entries for last week’s Mad Men were on fire over the weekend. For those who entered, note that we should be contacting the winners sometime this week. We’ve got two giveaways going up this week. First up: CSI Season 8. We’re giving away five copies of this title this week, in honor […]
As Halloween quickly approaches I’ve been thinking about trick-or-treating … and how much I hate it. Sorry, but I am a total scrooge when it comes to Halloween. Parents spend 364 days of the year telling their children not to take candy from strangers, then come October 31st, it all flies out the window! I […]
(Season 2, Episode 13 – Season Finale) “Congratulations?” – Francine, about Betty’s pregnancy Wow, they really packed everything into this season finale, eh? You can’t say that fans were cheated out of drama. Not only do they increase the cliffhanger tension (I bet fans are already craving for Season 3, Episode 1), but they also […]
(Season 2, Episode 6) Can you believe it’s almost the second series finale of Primeval. And no we won’t get to enjoy the third season premiere the following week. It won’t start until 2009 in the UK, and I’ve not found any specific word on when it might air on BBC America. If they can […]
(Season 3, Episode 5) When explaining what this show’s about to someone who’d never heard of it before, do you feel compelled to start with “I know this is going to sound like a pretty sick and weird show, but … ?” No? Seems to happen to me every time. Tonight was one of those […]
I’m sure it will come as no surprise that since I write about TV, I end up seeing a lot of it. Let’s face it, there’s a good amount of crap on the tube and I often find myself watching it and feeling myself getting dumber but unable to turn away. With that said, there’s […]
When I heard about Pushing Daisies before the start of last season, I was really excited. There was a ton of good buzz about it and it sounded like the type of show that I really love. It sounded quirky, smart, character driven, and all the early reviews were comparing it to a Tim Burton […]
5:00p/4:00 Central The CW starts off their long farmed out Sunday night with a 4Real repeat featuring Casey Affleck. That’s followed by a new 4Real features Mos Def visiting the City of God outside Rio de Janeiro. 6:00p/5:00 Central Stick with The CW for a repeat performance of the series premiere of Valentine. See, apparently […]
For me, one of the best parts of Halloween is The Simpsons‘ “Treehouse of Horror” episode. Unfortunately in recent years, the baseball World Series has delayed the annual episode until after the holiday. This year is no exception, with the “Treehouse of Horror (XIX!?!)” airing on November 2nd. I, however, got my hands on a […]
