Dancing with the Pros
 

This season I picked up Dancing with the Stars as what can, at best, be described as a “casual viewer”. I watched a couple episodes here and there, mostly just cheering for Melissa (who’d won my heart on The Bachelor only a week earlier). But after last night’s finale (and the previous night’s competition show) […]

I Apologize Profusely…
 

… for making you watch Glee. All I wanted was for someone to make a show I understood. Not one where the emotional arcs of the characters made them human enough that I could relate to upper east side fashionistas, stylish demon slayers, Texan high school footballers or polygamists from Utah, just a show about […]

What If…
 

  What if your two favorite, bubble-stuck shows both got renewed?   And what if your other two favorite shows had finales that restored your faith in them AND made you incredibly excited for next season just at the moment when you thought there was nowhere left for them to go?   Yeah.

Season Wrap Up: How I Met Your Mother

25-year-old South African actor Adhir Kalyan was the best thing about the best new (and cancelled) show of the 2007-2008 TV season, Aliens in America. As Raja, the Pakistani exchange student who turns the Tolchuk family’s life upside down, Kalyan was consistently charming and unparalleledly engaging. Now, as David Spade’s deadpan and ambitious assistant Timmy […]

CHUCK LIVES…. on some conditions

Great news for fans of Josh Schwartz’s cult hit/espionage comedy Chuck! Against all odds, Chuck and friends will be returning to NBC next year. The highly improbable pickup comes on the heel of many a “save our show” campaign (including a clever Subway promotion) and even a shout out on The Daily Show (see our […]

*CAUTION, SPOILERS AHEAD* Liza Weil, Zach Gilford, Debra Mooney- what more can I ask? OK, well that’s not exactly fair. As much as I adore me a little Matt Saracen, rejoice at the sight of Paris Geller back on my TV screen and smile whenever I remember Edna Harper, it takes a lot more than […]
