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 […]

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 […]
I’m probably too old for Greek, but then again I’m probably too old for Gossip Girl and to hang up pictures of Zac Effron on my wall. I’ll live. Plus, Greek speaks pretty directly to the heart of my current life: this season is all about seniors like Casey and Cappie not quite ready to […]

Said drug infected everyone in our cast, […]

Grey’s Anatomy may not be perfect, it may not have great artistic merit or somehow inform the human experience, but I’ve lived with these […]
The kingdom of Gilboa is where the future of TV should be headed. Programs like NBC’s new drama Kings (set in the fictional land of Gilboa) represent, in my opinion, what television shows should strive to be. Though it’s a long shot to remain on the air because of sadly predictable low ratings and […]
