Obsessions Remembered
 

With Saturday’s return of Pushing Daisies, I realized that I’d forgotten how much I love that show. With an Olive-centric episode, a fun mystery of the week and a couple great guest stars, the only thing I didn’t like about the first episode of the last run of Pushing Daisies was that it was the first […]

Season Wrap Up: One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill is nothing if not a gutsy show. With recent casting news indicating the exit of central couple Lucas and Peyton (Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton) from the show, the perpetual shark-jumping CW series will head into its 7th season without its main stars. A risky move indeed, but I have a […]

So You Think You Can Dance season 5 is off with a bang with returning favourites. In the grand tradition of Hok and Twitch (who made the top 20 as fan favourites after being cut the previous season), a favourite of mine from last season, Evan Kasprzak is back this year with his brother Ryan to […]

I’m just going to go ahead right now and declare Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (along with Star Trek) my favourite of the year so far. Full of fun, life, a stellar cast, good effects and flat-out good writing, both movies soared beyond my wildest expectations. But Night at the Museum, […]

Love and Hate: The Men of The Bachelorette

CLICK ON THE SCALE TO SEE A CLEARER VERSION   Our annual scale’s first edition- see how we had Wes, Juan and David nailed early on as terrible while Michael, Ed and Kiptyn are rightly hanging out at the “love” end. We apologize for our shortsighted love of Jake (which has diminished over the years, […]

Adieu to the Bakers and the Newlys

 Amidst a storm of good news at the recent network upfronts, the sadness of harsh cancellations went unfelt. Now, with our joy over the renewals of Dollhouse, Chuck, Better Off Ted and Scrubs fully felt, it is time to turn our attention to the heartbreaking cancellations of two of TV’s most uplifting shows: Privileged and […]

Season Wrap Up: Gossip Girl

Rachael already covered the finale in her trademark depth in the post “What If” so I’ll try and keep it brief on this one.   Gossip Girl‘s sophomore season was a bumpy one. There were low points at which it seemed like the worst of teenage television (Blair and Nate’s early season entanglements with the […]

Dancing with the Pros
 

This season I picked up Dancing with the Stars as what can, at best, be described as a “casual viewer”. I watched a couple episodes here and there, mostly just cheering for Melissa (who’d won my heart on The Bachelor only a week earlier). But after last night’s finale (and the previous night’s competition show) […]
