How I Met Your Mother hit another one out of the park this week with an episode that was both funny and incredibly touching. There were some hilarious moments, such as Lily’s fantasy version of bridge, Robin’s excitement that her friends were watching her show and Lily’s “you can’t handle the truth” speech. And the […]
Last night’s Gossip Girl had me and a room full of Gossip Girl fanatics ping ponging between near-hysterical laughter and groans of annoyance. It felt a lot like a cleansing for the show, flushing out the old story lines that just don’t work and purifying the show (and us) for the much more exciting ridiculousness […]
Some of you may have read Rachael’s review/live blog of Jon Stewart’s recent Daily Show interview with Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC’s Mad Money. Having finally caught up on the Daily Show after a week away, I feel the need to join in the discussion. Let me start off by saying that Rachael’s observation that […]
I think I might officially like Dollhouse, not just because it’s a Joss Whedon show, or because it stars Eliza Dushku and Tahmoh Penniket, or even because I see potential in it. I think I have officially fallen for the shows charms, from the supporting characters to the strange ambiguity to the sexy neighbors who […]
I was going to come on here and complain that the penultimate episode of BSGwas all sorts of flashback-y nonsense (with a dose of machismo badassery built in) but I’ve decided not to. I’m hoping, sincerely, and mostly optimistic, that at the end of next week’s two hour series finale, I’ll feel like every drunken-bird-fighting […]
I don’t need a very special episode of The Daily Show to tune in, but every once in a while it’s kind of fun, even if it always means that the next day all the bloggers will talk about how disappointing it was (see also: his interviews with Kerry, Clintons Bill and Hillary). But trust […]
The Office and 30 Rock, after both having strong showings last week, were sort of underwhelming tonight. The Office‘s plot was pretty weak, in particular. After Michael’s misguided, Willy Wonka-inspired Golden Ticket promotion goes awry (losing the company 50% of their biggest client’s money), David Wallace is looking for someone to blame. One of the […]
I’ll admit it: I watched Castle entirely because Nathan “Tight Pants” Fillion stars. It certainly wasn’t because I was feeling a major lack of procedural crime dramas in my life. My Bones obsession not withstanding, I’m not really a huge fan of shows that center around a story-of-the-week murder. But let’s be honest, I’d probably […]
