Since Brothers & Sisters‘ first season back in 2006, Matthew Rhys has been one of my favourite people on television. His complicated and endearing character Kevin Walker has also been a favourite, as well as one half of TV’s best couple: Kevin and Scotty. The 34-year-old masks an accent and tackles English as a second […]
I have a confession to make. I am a sucker for teen television shows (not the confession yet). This is pretty obvious. I love Greek, and Gossip Girl, The OC and Dawson’s Creek are on constant DVD rotation, and I’m already set up to TIVO pretty much every new CW show. So… despite my inclinations […]

So, my big objections of the moment are as follows: The People Who Run the […]

Here’s the thing, Judd Apatow’s high school comedy Freaks and Geeks is a good show. It’s cited as one of the greats among the “brilliant but cancelled” elite, sparked a ton of young actors’ Hollywood careers and is considered one of the most painfully accurate portrayals of high school life ever on television.
