I can relate it to TV, I know I can. William Fichtner (Mahone is Prison Break and Supreme Court Justice Chris Mulready in one of my favourite episodes of The West Wing) plays a bank manager in the opening scene. Nestor Carbonell, who played the mayor of Gotham City, also plays none other than the […]
I’ve said it before but I just watched the latest installment of the show that is almost single-handedly (alongside So You Think You Can Dance) getting me through the summer TV draught. Haven’t gotten into it yet? My Boys is a unique sitcom: the friendships seem real, not forced; not everyone looks like a character […]
“Jessie is a tool in all senses of the word” -Steven No truer words ever were spoke. Here’s the rundown of my current feelings towards most of the house guests. Jessie– You tool!

Friday Night Lights rules for realism. Friday Night Lights rules for realism. The characters don’t speak like articulately witty brainiacs but are never played as idiots for the cheap laugh. They live in houses that they could realistically afford and drive cars that don’t wreak of product placement. They work at car dealerships and Applebees. […]
