Tonight was the finale of one of my guiltiest TV obsessions: High School Reunion on TV Land. Now that prom is over, there are just a few classmates who really left an impression: Charming ladies man Marcel, who could have gone to prom with any girl in the house, chose to invite Eric as his […]

First Taste of Parenthood
 

Emotions which are usually felt when watching a series premiere: Boredom. Uncertainty. Annoyance. Confusion. Not that all premieres are bad (a few notable exceptions are Lost and Six Feet Under) but some of the best shows on television had mediocre, or even terrible, premieres at best (BTVS and Angel). It generally takes a few episodes […]

When the Sun Goes Down, the Smoke Comes Out

Because of all the fanatics and theorists out there, it’s hard to do justice to a review of Lost. Sadly, there aren’t enough hours in the day to focus on every single scene and analyze every single reference (especially when one is not getting paid to do so).

I’ve barely seen more than an episode of the original police drama due to lack of interest and overall boredom with the plot. Needless to say, the prospects of this new reboot were less than thrilling. […]

Evil Is So Much More Fun
 

Surprise! This episode of Survivor was so much more enjoyable because it focused almost entirely on the Villains and their awesomeness. The episode begins with Tom telling James to be gentler…so nice. After James’ rude remarks to Stephenie, it was nice to hear someone stick up for her. Shortly after, Colby and Tom discuss playing […]

 

Tonight’s Survivor reminded me of why I want to play this game. Strategy really is the key to success. There are several strategies which work: whether you form a tight alliance and sail through with ease, take on the role of powerhouse and dominate the game, play the good guy and make multiple friends, or […]
