The Lowdown on The Ex List
 

CBS’s new Friday night sitcom The Ex Listhas all the following qualities: a really cool concept: A psychic tells Bella that she’s already dated her soul mate a great supporting cast of characters including an honest to God male/female best friendship that rings true, a funny blond whose relationship with Bella’s best friend is sure […]

Another One Bites the Dust
 

The cancel-happy Fox has taken its first victim of the 2008-2009 TV season. The mildly amusing and thoroughly enjoyable sitcom Do Not Disturb has officially been cancelled, after airing only 3 episodes. With a recognizable cast, a handful of cool characters and at least a couple of good laughs per episode, Do Not Disturb is […]

Privileged: my unexpected love
 

Privilegedis my unexpected new favourite show. I enjoy every single minute of it. And here’s why: 1) Megan. Despite being beautiful and charming, Megan is a type of protagonist one doesn’t see every day. Let me amend that, she is a protagonist one sees every day, just not on TV. Megan (played by Joanna Garcia) is awkward, but she’s […]

Barney seems to be more annoying than he’s ever been (though his motivation turns out to actually be pretty sweet), Robin’s story is ridiculous and Marshall reaches new lows of pathetic. After such a promising […]

 

As many of you may know, my most recent long-term TV project was to finally get through a series that I had dreaded watching for years. Its run spanned all 4 years of my high school experience and in many ways, it defined the culture of high school at the time. The show I’m referring to is The OC. […]
