To steal a line from the infamous Mary Murphy: “AHHHHHHHHHHHHH”!!! Last season saw some remarkable talent hit the So You Think You Can Dance stage. It boasted some of the most memorable routines of the series (“Bleeding Love”, the bed routine, “The Garden”), some great personalities (Twitch, Mark) and some impressive technique (Katee, Josh, Chelsea). And […]

I don’t often report on The Daily Show or The Colbert Report. There’s only so many times a gal can blog: tonight Jon Stewart was witty and Stephen Colbert was hilarious, so if Jon Stewart’s not feuding with a news anchor or interviewing a president, I’m normally pretty silent about the shows, even though I […]
In my post about Season 4 of Weeds, I said that the premier of Season 5 wasn’t until later in June. I was mistaken. It was last night. And Showtime is currently offering it for free on their website.

For most of the show, Conrad remained the […]
The best way to describe the 5th season of The Officewould be bittersweet. Everything from the season premiere that saw Jim coping with life in a Pam-less Scranton to the Superbowl episode in which overly cruel employees roast Michael to the finale that left Jim and Pam wordlessly celebrating life-changing news while Michael looked optimistically to […]
I watched the first episode of Party Down in an almost perfunctory manner. I mean, come on, it was by the guy who made Veronica Mars, and had promised guest stars that ranged from George Takeii to Rick Fox to Kristen Bell. And I really enjoyed that first episode, but I’m an inherently lazy creature […]
