Last week, I wrote that Grey’s Anatomy was really straddling the line between primetime drama and daytime soap opera, and that description couldn’t be any more fitting than when the first victim of the day (a woman with a shattered baseball bat in her chest) tells Dr. Murphy she cheated on her husband with her […]
There are times when I watch Grey’s Anatomy and wonder if the writers know how dramatic they are being. I would assume so, since they are writing a drama, but their premieres and finales are consistently bordering on soap opera status. The season ten premiere is no different. When they begin the episode, not only […]
I am going to keep watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I will watch it until I become so enamoured– with its characters, with a weekly dose of Whedon (or Whedon-esque) writing, with the overarching plots– that I can’t turn it off.

“Everybody! The neighbors are filiming, time to go inside!” With the premiere of Trophy Wife, ABC seems out to prove that despite its cancelation of Happy Endings, The B**** In Apartment 23, and the moving of Cougar Town to TBS, the network still has not completely given up on single camera comedies.

As many of you already know, Disney Canada has been nice enough this year to give us some extra copies of some of ABC’s most engrossing 2011-2012 shows on DVD and Blu-ray to share with you amazing readers. Last week we gave you the opportunity to win Revenge Season One on DVD by answering “what’s […]
It’s that awesome time of year again, people. That time when all of last season’s best TV shows are finally showing up on DVD and Blu-Ray for you to watch uninterrupted. DVR and download may be creeping up, but for me it’s all about the DVD-watching experience (the marathoning, the special features, the putting your […]
