Goodbye Charlie, I’ll Always Love You

…even if Megan can’t. This week’s Privileged was, despite being a wonderful episode, really really sad. This marked Michael Cassidy’s last episode as the sweetest man alive, Megan’s best friend Charlie.Before he left to go to school in California, Charlie finally confessed his love to Megan, and she promptly broke his heart. And while I […]

Barrell Full of “Meh”
 

Each week, my two most hotly anticipated shows vary. But this week, after two weeks off, they were 100% Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother.   Both of which had pretty “meh” episodes, with sprinklings of the brilliance we normally see.   Gossip Girl this week told us the tale of Blair’s seemingly-apocalyptic […]

Every show, even the terrible ones, has at least one character who’s worth your time. Whether they’re the only one to make you laugh, the only one who’s remotely sane or the only one who you can relate to, they make the show worth watching. So here’s to the characters that have managed to shine […]

There was a lot in the episode that was hopelessly idiotic. Falling, once again, into dangerous and […]

BSG has had its fair share of boring episodes, and the first two episodes back […]

Third Time’s the Charm for Chuckles

I tried to watch Chuck when it premiered and then sort of forgot about it. Part way through it’s first season I picked it up again only to redirect my attention towards more captivating series. Then, after the show won accolades from fellow My TVwriter Rachael, I picked up the season one DVD and tried […]

How Do I Loathe Private Practice, Let Me Count the Ways

I hate how selfish Addison is, especially considering that, during her time on Grey’s Anatomy, she was once an incredibly engaging and wonderful character. I hate that every story line involves a moral dilemma or grey area of some sort. I hate that Cooper, one of TV’s most lovable characters, is forced to exist in […]
