It’s been months since some of my favorite shows have aired. The WGA strike really cramped my tv viewing schedule. But the strike was resolved and most of my faves are on the cusp of returning. Given that I figured I’d share what I did to fill the void left my [...]

First off, and I don’t know why I’m writing this part since the season has ended, but if there’s anyone reading this that doesn’t want tine final season of The Wire completely ruined you should read no further. I plan on discussing two kind of pivotal moments and I’d hate to ruin them for [...]

This past Sunday HBO aired the final episode of The Wire. It was the episode that fans never wanted to arrive and couldn’t wait to watch. It was both satisfying and heartbreaking. The finale was an episode that I couldn’t wait to talk about and dissect. And in the days past [...]

I’m one of those people who doesn’t make a statement unless they’re 99% positive that they can back it up. I’m not going to enter into a discussion unless I feel that I’m well versed enough in the topic at hand. So if I say something, rest assured, I’m sure that it’s [...]

Here we are just over a week into my new year and I’ve yet to come up with a TV resolution. I’m pretty sure that last year my resolution was to not get backed up on my TV viewing. And if that was the case, then I failed miserably. Still, [...]

In Treatment is HBO’s ambitious new half hour drama. Basically it’s a drama that airs every week night for eight weeks, in which one episode details on session between a a character and their psychotherapist (with each night belonging to a different character). That’s forty episodes of new content, which in this dire [...]

So it obviously took long for me to come up with thoughts on 2007. But it was difficult to do,.2007 wasn’t a good year for television. It had numerous things going against it. There were the cancelled shows (Rome, Deadwood, Thief) that I felt should have made return engagements this year which left [...]

I’ve been known to watch a little bit of television here and there. And I tend to frequent channels a bit off the beaten track when it comes to my entertainment needs. I’m not trying to brag, I’m just saying that I have unique tastes compared to what Joe American watches.
Now [...]

I thought that I minded my p’s and q’s rather well this year. I was certain that I’d toed the line between “nice” and “naughty” without crossing over into the latter. I swore that jolly ole St. Nick would have rewarded me for my behavior by releasing some shows on DVD that I’ve [...]

This past summer, I fell head over heels in love with three shows and had a tumultuous off and on affair with a fourth. This was truly a summer to remember.
First up was USA’s Burn Notice. I’m not the biggest fan of USA’s programming, but Burn Notice had an interesting premise; a [...]

I’m a sucker for HBO programming. I love The Wire and I still mourn Rome, Deadwood and John from Cincinnati. Basically, if it’s an hour-long program from HBO, I’ll give it a shot.
So, Tell Me You Love Me. Um, yeah.
I’ve got a friend who’s two [...]

Jamie Sommers survives a car accident, gets bionic upgrades and tries to maintain relationships while figuring out what she wants to do with her new lease on life.
For Fans Of – The original Bionic Woman, Alias and Chuck (kind of).

What I Didn’t Like
When the topic of bio-ethics came up, it felt [...]

Life is about Charlie Crews, a cop turned convict turned cop again. It’s the story of a man who was framed for a crime who tries readjust to living life in the free world, and his new role as a police detective.
For Fans Of – Any of USA’s detective shows (Monk, Psych [...]

San Francisco journalist Dan Vasser suffers from blackouts which cause him to wake up the past on a mission to change someone’s life, all while juggling his present as a father and husband with a past that includes a fiancé destined to die. Or is she?

For Fans Of – Quantum Leap, The [...]

Wage slave slacker geek Chuck Bartowski ends up the sole possessor government top secret information and struggles to maintain his personal and professional life.
For Fans Of – 24 or Alias and Scrubs or The Loop.

What I Didn’t Like
The very premise is shaky at best. Even if we accept that a government computer [...]

Welcome back. We’ve finally reached the final leg of my breakdown of what my Fall TV Schedule looks like. Let’s just jump into it, shall we?
THURSDAY
There’s one new show I’m trying out. Everything else is a returning favorite. Or a returning obligatory watch. Either way, it’s still a [...]

Yeah, so I’m back and now we’re getting to the meet of my week. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are traditionally days when things ramp up and I’m juggling programs.
So let’s jump right into it.
TUESDAY
Tuesday is going to be a busy day. It’s got four new shows that I’m hopeful about, [...]

So, Saturday I received my latest issue of Entertainment Weekly which featured an incredibly alluring cover. Not only did it boast that it would be covering “99 of the Season Biggest Shows” but the cover subject was Kate Walsh (what can I say; I’m a sucker for redheads)
Eventually I got around to reading it [...]

Since the new season is upon us I’m kind of looking forward to all of the new shows. I mean there are tons of new shows that are sure to break new ground.
But then I’m also filled with dread and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I remember two years ago [...]

The first season of 30 Rock comes out on dvd on Tuesday and I really want to buy it. I love the show; I think it’s probably one of the best shows on television and certainly one of the best on NBC. The problem is that I know I’ll never get around to [...]
