Something strange is happening this year in television…specifically reality television. For the first time in forever, my favorite contestants are making it to the finals and winning. Typically I have my favorites which I route for throughout the season and they tend to get close to the end but never really make it. That has […]

This poster for Big Love‘s new season. Eli Stone. I just watched all of season 2 in 3 days and I’ve gotta say, there’s almost nothing wrong with this series. It’s really quite a remarkable feat of network television and its cancellation will always be one of the great tragedies of the 08-09 season. Fantastic […]
In the last few weeks in the overly crowded world of television dance competitions, two very deserving winners won two very different competitions. On So You Think You Can Dance Canada, early favourite Tara Jean took home the win, marking the first time that the best dancer has actually won a SYTYCD season (I love […]
Lately Grey’s Anatomy has been substantially more enjoyable than it’s been in years. Not since we lost Burke and Addison over the course of one hiatus has Seattle Grace been populated with actual adult characters.

Most of it, especially the Rachel and Mr. Schuester stuff, amused me. […]
I wish it weren’t the case but I think it’s about time for Erica Strange to break some hearts. Though her and Ethan’s relationship began as very sweet (if entirely unoriginal), lately I can barely stand to watch them together. Every episode shows them bickering and the show’s wonderful leading lady looses a little […]
Although at this point it’s semi-old news, it must be shared anyways: Joss Whedon’s intriguing, yet little watched, series Dollhouse has officially been canceled. After poor ratings it’s sophomore year and a move to Friday nights, it comes as no real surprise. The biggest hint of the series’ failure occurred a few weeks ago when […]
