There has got to be something wrong with me because I just cried like a baby while watching Kid Nation. The friendships that have developed are truly touching and the emotions are more real than any other reality show could hope to be. When Cody left it was just like the last day of camp […]
Not nearly as bad as its bad press would let on. certainly better than chuck and big bang theory and miles ahead of bionic woman. Id put Big Shots on par with Journeyman this season. Now that doesn’t mean I think they’ll make it- in fact I think both will be cancelled fairly soon- but […]
The funniest, most self aware, sweetest thing in a long time. Raja is my new favourite person in the whole world (yes I know he’s fictional, but he’s soo sweet) Since becoming the CW, the WB has lost much of its former glory. The very glory that brought us such wonderful teen and/or family based […]
really really funny. nice turnaround of classic trapped in a room episodes like Marshall and Lily in the bathroom waiting for Ted and Victoria to move to the bedroom in season 1 and four of the FRIENDS trapped in the bedroom while Ross and Rachel have their massive “we were on a break” breakup fight. […]
This show is soooo entertaining!!! #1) Taylor desperately needs to be impeached and replaced with Zach. I feel like they purposely put her on the council to contrast the other 3 who are all outstanding leaders so there would be a revolt. #2) Greg is so flipfloppy. He often deserves the star but why cant […]
I’ve just finished watching the pilot and have concluded that while it doesn’t move at quite the pace of some other shows, Pushing Daisies is pure delight. Its got the lightness and sweetness of a sitcom with the romance and longing of a drama and the mysteries of a procedural. The visual effects, score and […]
Today I went to Best Buy and bough Season 2 of How I Met Your Mother, Season 3 of The Office, Season 3 of Arrested Development and Season 1 of Friday Night Lights. I love TV on DVD. if I was patient enough to wait until everything was released on DVD I would watch everything […]
Firstly: no one is as great a kid as Michael. He’s spectacular: hardworking, vastly intelligent, analytical, fair, kind, he has his priorities straight, he’s fond of the young kids, he knows when to speak and when to stay silent, he’s got an extraordinary gift of communication and leadership. I’m waiting for his flaw. he’s also […]
and for that matter. beautiful Hilda, beautiful Daniel, beautiful Justin, beautiful Mark, Christina, Claire, Alexis, Amanda, Wilhemina, Bradford, Santos and beautiful Henry. This show is just beautiful. The revelation of Alexis’ memory lapse made me gasp out loud (I’m sure my floor mates think I’m nuts), I almost started to cry when it was revealed […]
To the best cast ever: the best of Everwood, Alias, The West Wing, Ali McBeal, Prison Break, Six Feet Under, Reunion and an Oscar winning matriarch to tie them all together. Its lightning in a bottle when these people get together in front of a camera. To wonderful characters and relationships: no show has ever […]
I must confess that I got only half way through the pilot episode of Bionic Woman before turning it off in repulsion- and I had to force myself to get that far. I start of every new TV season with every intention of watching absolutely everything, at least giving it a couple episodes to win […]
She’s the best. Kate Walsh brought to life a character that was set up to be hated by an entire continent rooting for her husband to be with another woman. She turned Addison into one of the most complex and compelling characters on Grey’s and I would watch her in anything. That said, private practice […]
There are typically, in Boston Legal, moments when you just think to yourself “what is this?” it’s completely ridiculous and they take it too far and it’s kind of strange that it gets the Emmy attention it seems to… but… there there are moments when you realize that it’s so much more than the farce […]
OK, not amazing, kind of average but again, like most TV shows out there, worth the watch. Chuck is adorable and fun (though very badly edited), I liked seeing Sarah Lancaster (Everwood) back on screen and some elements are really cute (like Chuck’s affectionate nickname for his sister’s boyfriend ‘captain awesome’) but Journeyman is actually […]
How great is it to hear Kristin Bell’s voice on TV again? GREAT. Now I refused to read the books, they were a little too chick lit trashy for me but all my snobbish sensibilities could not keep me away from the series premiere of Gossip Girl on The CW. And I have to admit- […]
I really like Kid Nation!!! These kids are amazing. Even the ones you’re really not supposed to like (ie: Greg) have moments where they’re awesome (helping out the kid with the muscle spasm, offering to be Jimmy’s wing man, helping the younger kids on his team during the challenge, his pride in Sophia when she […]
The series premiere of Back to You was this week and I have to say…. thank god. This show was lovely. It wasn’t innovative, it wasn’t memorable, and it wasn’t brilliant but it was good and it was familiar. The sitcom King (Kelsey Grammar- Cheers/Frasier) and Queen (Patricia Heaton– Everybody Loves Raymond) together with legendary […]
I’ve just finished previewing the second season premier of Friday Night Lights (airing on NBC on Friday, Oct 5 @9pm). Its not as great as the first season but still wonderful. The complex characters and relationships are still there. Julie faces a dilemma in her relationship with Matt that Ive seen happen to real-life couples […]
My favourite show currently on the air is (no secret here: How I Met Your Mother). I was, however, disappointed in last night’s third season premier. While still better than most sitcoms out there (see the second half of this post), last night’s HIMYM was not up to their usual standard. After re-watching the entire […]
Last night’s second episode of the Prison Break season was certainly meh. The sleuthing should not be left to Lincoln. Susan B Anthony is clearly ridiculous- first off she’s completely unbelievable as an agent of whatever she’s an agent of, she’s also played by the bitchy prom queen from She’s All That, please. I hate […]
I just finished watching the first season of Friday Night Lights on nbc.com and can I just say it is not in the least bit over hyped by all those critics who’ve been swearing by its brilliance for a year. I’m the last person to ever watch something about football. I’m the last person to […]
As premieres rain upon us I thought Id give you an idea of what I’m going to be watching this season (because that’s what I’ll be talking about but its also what you should watch… hint, hint). RETURNING SHOWS: – Brothers & Sisters – Desperate Housewives – Prison Break – How I Met Your Mother […]
This is my appeal to you (not that anyone reads this- if anyone reads this please post a comment so I know you’re there). I have a thing where I can’t jump into a show if I haven’t seen the beginning. I couldn’t return to Lost after I skipped the end of season 1, I […]
I admit I love the Wentworth. I love his secretive eyes, his heart shaped face, his perfectly defined lips, the small mole on his temple, his strong hands, the way he exudes quietly intense intelligence, etc… but I have to admit that even if we put him aside for a moment I still love Prison […]
I have a confession to make. Though I on a regular basis sing the praises of intelligent television and curse the squalor that is reality television, I love, and have loved for some time now, Big Brother. I tried to give it up when 6th season rolled around but by the time I found out […]
I INTERUPT THE TV LOVE FOR A RANDOM, UNRELATED THEATRE POST!!!!!!!!! I’ve been failing as a theatre addict lately, though Ive seen a couple shows nothing has inspired me… until JRB came along. A couple weeks ago, thanks to my favourite blogs at the addict.com network, I found out about a Jason Robert Brown concert […]
