Wow. That was, well, it was offensive. Not funny, not charming, not tactful at all. Maybe it’ll get better, but the pilot of NBC’s new Thursday comedy was horrible. I hate it already. It was somehow predictable and shocking at the same time. While I appreciate the fun of selling silly American novelty items through […]

Top Chef had their uneventful reunion show this week. It served little purpose other than to put further salt in the wound of Kevin’s unexpected (read: not really deserved) victory. What was great though was that they announced that in December they’ll start their first ever All-Stars season. I love a good all-stars season. […]
Community returned this week with what is so-far my favourite premiere of the season. Last season’s (actual) funniest new show was in uncertain territory after a mediocre finale that threw the characters into lame romantic conundrums.

Glee returned to TV this week and there was hoopla. Of course there was hoopla. There always seems to be hoopla.

It’s not even a romantic obsession. I don’t doodle his name on my notebooks, and […]
Teen comedies live or die based on their casts. A brilliant script is a plus, kicking direction can be a boon, and an original concept is always appreciated, but they live or die based on their casts. Think of the very best teen movies (Ten Things I Hate About You, Mean Girls, Can’t Hardly Wait, […]
At least once a year, my father tells me he’d rather not go see Romeo & Juliet. When I ask why, he always says it’s because he’s seen it before. Personally, I think the great thing about Shakespeare is that it’s always different. No matter how many times you’ve seen Hamlet, the actors and director […]
