Another day, another show canceled. Guess that’s the way things go in Hollywood. Today it was The Riches, FX’s drama about a con artist family. Reports today say that the show is kaput. I was a viewer of the show, but honestly, I’m a little ambivalent about this news. The show was OK, never attaining […]
“Hey honey. What’s on television tonight?” “Oh, you know, there’s the presidential debate from nine o’clock until the sun rises.” “What? Again?! Oooouuuuh…” Has this happened to you? The lack of real, quality TV programming getting you down? Well your worries are over, thanks to a space-aged new technology that will revolutionize the way you […]
8:00p/7:00 Central With baseball over until Thursday, all the sports fans will be tuning into ABC’s Dancing With the Stars to see the Rockettes, Jennifer Hudson and Kool and the Gang. Yes, you heard me right: Kool and the Gang! Or maybe some of them could sign up for NBC’s The Biggest Loser. I know […]
For the past several weeks, Tina Fey has helped lead SNL to a creative and ratings resurgence with her freakishly spot-on impression of VP hopeful, Sarah Palin. Now, according to reports, there is serious talk in the McCain camp of preparing a response. One possibility? Palin may appear on Saturday Night Live, not as herself, […]
I’m all for special effects, if done well. I love the gross-out anatomy effects used on House; they take me back to my freshman science dissections. Bleh! And how about the classy explosions over on Burn Notice? A bit gratuitous, but pretty cool nonetheless. I’ll even head-bob some respect to the not-so-well-done special effects on […]
The Simpsons: The Complete 11th Season. I really only started watching this series after the movie came out last year (knocking myself upside the head). And, well, I have a 13-year-old son in the house, so it’s pretty much required that I watch The Simpsons. We started buying the series from the beginning, until I […]
(Season 5, Episode 3) This past week, I got a ToyFare exclusive Captain Kirk figure in a pin-striped suit. But you know what that means I really got. That’s right: Denny Crane! So I’ll have my own Denny Crane riding co-pilot and watching tonight’s installment of Boston Legal with me. Tonight, Denny is arrested (again!), […]
(Season 2, Episode 3) “Do you have to touch everything?” – Reese to Crews after he shatters the murder victim. Okay, I’ll admit it. That was cool, no pun intended. I wasn’t too sure where Crews was going by trying to touch the murder victim with his pen, but the result was fun. The way […]
We live-blogged tonight’s episode of Heroes, “I Am Become Death.” Click through this post to read the transcript. And join us next week for another live-blog session. It’s fun!
(Season 3, Episode 4) In tonight’s live-blog of Heroes, I told the others I need a storyboard or Heroes 101 course to figure out what’s going on. I completely understand the writers’ goal of giving us something to ponder and talk about over the water cooler. On the other hand, there must be some midway point […]
