(Season 5, Episode 12 – “Stairway to Heaven” ) “I believe in Heaven … I also believe in Hell. I’ve never seen either, but I believe they exist. They have to exist, because without a Heaven, without a Hell, we’re all just headed for limbo.” – Denny’s voiceover Holy Talomey, what an episode! We had people […]
Scripted primetime programming: it’s why I watch TV. Sure, I enjoy Conan occasionally and I catch up on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report over the weekend, but they don’t warrant the same level of devotion I give to my favorite scripted shows.

This week’s edition of See Jane Clack features my favorite characters of the Fall 2008 TV season. While some new shows tanked out of the starting gate, a few great new characters emerged, as well.
