That’s it, the network TV season is over. I would ask how you felt about it but, let’s be honest, you don’t watch network TV anymore. You watch Game of Thrones and, if you’re really cool, you maybe downloaded Horace & Pete (if you haven’t, you should). You’re a young, busy, hip person; you don’t […]
Spoiler Alert right off the top because this was the first episode of TV in quite some time that Facebook actually ruined for me the night-of (usually it’s more of a “this happened 3 months ago, at this point you deserve to be spoiled” kind of thing). I fight with people about The Big Bang […]
This week featured the brilliant premieres of Modern Family and Big Bang Theory. Amidst full hours of comedy on both fronts (some of their best episodes to date), two supporting characters showed the incredible bench depth of both series. The first episode of Modern Family* sported a fantastic subplot about Haley’s boyfriend Dylan (Reid Ewing). […]
This week’s Big Bang Theory was a consistent half hour of geeky giggles. The icing on the proverbial cake? A guest starring role by none-other than River Tam/she-terminator Summer Glau. The plot forced the four geeks (and Summer Glau, as herself) onto a train for eleven hours, because Sheldon likes the clickety clack of […]
This week’s BBT featured a guest spot by none other than Michael Trucco. Don’t know who he is? You clearly haven’t been doing your nerdy homework. Trucco is none other than dream-worthy sometimes-Starbuck-love-interest Samuel Anders from Battlestar Galactica. And that’s a big deal for a lot of nerds, from me to Dwight Schrute. Here he […]

SUGGESTED REMEDY A hearty dose of maniacle supervillain laughter, the unauthorized use of military spy satelites, and 4 or 5 rounds of Klingon Boggle is […]
This week’s Big Bang Theorywas, like fan favourite Dr. Sheldon Cooper, genius. When a new grad student, Ramona, takes a liking to Sheldon, he embraces the idea of someone fawning over him, until it gets to a point where he needs to invoke something called “the godzilla clause” to get rid of her. The brilliant […]
On Big Bang Theory, a lonely and depressed Penny hilariously became obsessed with online gaming. While on How I Met Your Mother Ted agreed to move to New Jersey and Robin agreed to move to Japan for a new job. But I swear the episode was actually funny, not just full of depressing revelations that […]
