Revisiting Camille Saroyan
  Rachael Nisenkier

I’ve been enjoying the way Bones is leading to the inevitable Booth and Brennan shenanigans all season long, with the often goofy, character-centered episodes that have become a staple of the show’s fourth season. But it was a nice change of pace to have this week’s episode of Bones focused on the back story of […]

If you sat through this week’s episode of 90210, you now understand the definition of “ridiculous”. 90210already has trouble with believability; the main characters on this show are in high school, yet they are able to do as they please; the parent involvement is dismal, at best. However, I’ve grown accustomed to this altered reality […]

This is what a singer sounds like- season 8, LISTEN UP!

This is American Idol?
  Kelly Bedard

Last night I watched American Idol for the first time in almost 5 years. After season 3 I just sort of quit the reality juggernaut. So going back to it was a bit of a strange experience. I, of course, knew of all the changes, but I didn’t expect it to seem like a completely […]

After meeting on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1999, the couple was married in 2003 and serve as godparents […]

Mourning Lorne

It’s a week of sadness for TV fans as we lose yet another beloved symbol of TV greatness. Andy Hallett, who played the singing demon Lorne on Angel died on Sunday. Hallett, who has been suffering from a heart condition for 5 years now, was only 33. Though he was relatively unknown as an actor […]

The Greatest Product Placement Ever (did I just say that?)

If there’s one thing One Tree Hill knows, it’s how to stay alive. A pure entertainment show with few claims to artistic legitimacy, One Tree Hill is the perfect place for that horrible product placement brand of advertising that television audiences loathe so much. So, while many shows of lesser ridiculousness have been killed off […]

I Can See the (Friday Night) Light

We all complain all the time that good TV is dying. Every season another handful of enjoyable shows bites the dust because they can’t find an audience. Critical favourites are put in the intensive care unit after one episode and are lucky to make it through season 1. 3 years ago, one of the best shows […]
