Welcome to the Real Dollhouse: Part 2

This week’s episode of Dollhouse, titled “Man on the Street,” was a game changer episode. It was “Prophecy Girl” on Buffy, “Diversity Day” on the Office, “To Shanshu in LA” on Angel, “The Man in the Fallout Shelter” on Bones, and “Tracy Does Conan” on 30 Rock. All these episodes helped shape and redefine the […]

 

The problem with the current Chuck storyline (basically, Chuck’s continuing attempts to get the Intersect out of his head and regain his normal life) is that it leaves us, as the audience, secretly rooting against our protagonist. If Chuck regains his normal life, even if he’s able to finish school and get a real job […]

 

Anything to do with Ryan Walker. The big haired manipulative brat is possibly the worst thing to ever come out of a Berlanti show. He’s badly written, REALLY badly cast and just a general nuisance on an otherwise lovable show. Addison Montgomery’s sex life, or that of the people she works with (except maybe Cooper’s). Someone please […]

 

And while we’re on the subject of Canada and its contributions to the world of entertainment, imagine my delight when this week’s Brothers & Sisters contained a guest spot from a Canadian icon of sorts- Megan Follows, who played Anne of Green Gablesin the beloved film adaptation, was introduced this week as the new director […]

Oh yes, The Two-Handed Zamboni

I absolutely loved this week’s How I Met Your Mother. Not only was the A story, with Barney and Marshall protecting Ted’s feelings by convincing him that he still had a job, really sweet (if a little repetitive of previous storylines, hello 4th character to go through unemployment in 3 years!) but the B story […]

Run Forest Run
 

Why invoke Forrest Gump when talking about the Amazing Race? Because I am about set to proclaim this the season of the underdog. There were plenty of teams this year who started the race seeming like sure things. Brad and Victoria came out of the gate as physical power players with just the right amount […]

Starz: keeping with the times

A major pet peeve of mine is when networks make a big show of taking their material off of YouTube. I think being able to watch an SNL sketch on YouTube just garners interest in the product itself; I think it would bring in viewers to the full network show. So it always seemed to […]

Are We Having Fun Yet? (aka Pilot Watch: Party Down)

Party Down, the new comedy on Starz from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas and universally beloved film actor Paul Rudd, is the type of deadpan humor we’ve grown to expect in the age of The Office but with an inherently absurdist bend. It follows the exploits of Party Down, a catering company in the Los […]
