Set Veronica Marscreator Rob Thomas free on a low-pressure network like Starz. Add a winning comedy concept (a catering company full of wannabes). Then give him a plethora of Mars alum to work with (Vinnie Van Lowe, Dick Casablancas, Logan, Meg and Veronica herself… just for starters). And add a sprinkling of other winning cast […]
This week’s Valentine’s Themed CHUCK offering was everything I could hope for as a diehard. The Chuck and Sarah tension was perfect.

So in honour of this most auspicious holiday, that of St. Valentine, I thought I’d revisit the issue […]
Friday Night Lightsis like nothing I’ve ever seen. This week’s episode, entitled “Hello, Goodbye” was a perfect example of everything that makes this show so remarkable. No one slept with their best friend’s brother or keeled over from a heart attack; there was no brain surgery, no malicious plotting, no robots, no aliens and no […]
