Remembering the Rules
 

This week’s episode of the always charming, usually amusing, often ignored CBS sitcom Rules of Engagement was laugh out loud funny. First of all, Rules has added former My TV Actor Obsession Adhir Kalyan to their already excellent cast of series regulars, an extremely welcome character addition, even if it does screw up the show’s […]

 

The summer will soon be upon us and that means many things. It’s baseball season, Dream in High Park starts (relatively) soon, al fresco dining is back within the realm of possibility. But most important of all, it means the start of a new season at The Stratford Shakespeare Festival, my personal favourite destination for […]

Liz Lemon Dreams Big
 

In one of the more genuine moments of the often broad comedy machine that is 30 Rock, Liz Lemon monologued last week to a poor unsuspecting dodgeball player about what she wants in a relationship. I don’t think I’ve ever loved Liz Lemon more: “I’ll tell you what I do want. I want someone who […]

Season Wrap Up: Accidentally On Purpose

The story of Accidentally on Purpose‘s first season seems to me to be that of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The critics didn’t like it right out of the gate.

Yes, that’s right kids, it’s April 23. Which means that it’s Shakespeare’s birthday!

The Final Dancer
 

Today Nigel announced the last dancer in the So You Think You Can Dance season 7 All-Star pool. Though my all-time SYTYCD favourites Danny Tidwell and Katee Shean are predictably not among the lot, the most recent addition is the most exciting yet: season 3’s goofball prodigy Neil Haskell, one of the show’s most popular […]

Romantically Challenged, Thoroughly Mediocre

Tonight was the premiere episode of ABC’s new Alyssa Milano sitcom Romantically Challenged. An unoriginal concept (newly divorced super quirky single mom navigates the dating world- hi Old Christine!) weighs this comedy down and its traditional format (3 cameras + laughtrack), cliched writing and uninspired cast (Alyssa, you’re really pretty but you were at your […]
