I can picture the meeting in which Red Band Society was greenlit. “There seems to be a lot of buzz around that The Fault In Our Stars thing. Maybe cancer’s hip these days?” And then, later on in the same meeting, someone found themselves remembering the tone-hopping, vaguely edgy days of early Glee. And then, […]
My buddy would be staying the night. We had been drinking wine, unapologetically mixing our reds and whites; I’m nothing if not a responsible substance abuser and living in Los Angeles, a city of automotive hedonism, can only compound that adherence towards safe driving. So, we sprawled along our separate ends of my L-shaped couch […]
Oh hey, guys, Mindy’s back! Just as New Girl stands on the precipice of undoing all the good will I feel towards it, Mindy Kaling (and her fictional counterpart, Mindy Lahiri) is back to brighten my Tuesday evenings. Or more accurately – my Wednesday in-a-rushed-half-hour-before-work. And brighten it she has. I thought it was a […]

The government is lying to you. Shadowy figures are watching your every move. Terrorist threats are encroaching on North American soil. Enemies are no longer nations, but instead are hiding in plain sight. Information leakers have the potential to bring down the most powerful figures in the world. Science and technology are progressing at an […]
With the overall decline of traditional TV viewership, the networks put an enormous amount of pressure on every show to be a hit right from the start. If the pilot episode of a show gets bad ratings, it is entirely possible that the show will be canceled. This pressure is in many ways counter-intuitive, and […]
