Of the many promising new shows premiering in this well-above-average fall season, ABC’s Once Upon a Time was one of the ones I was looking forward to the most. The fairy tale twist stars Ginnifer Goodwin, one of my favourite actresses whom I’m shocked is returning to TV so soon after the finale of the […]
ABC was very “man”ly this week with the premiere of the atrociously sexist (or, rather, atrociously bad and offensive to all well-rounded and sensible people) Man Up!, a pretty-great-actually male-centric Grey’s Anatomy that contradicted Man Up‘s theories of Neanderthal superiority and the premiere of Tim Allen’s new show, complete with trademark grunts and “I’m a […]
Every once in awhile I’ll be watching TV late at night, computer shutdown for the day, when something makes me react so strongly that I come downstairs, restart my laptop and set about writing a very early morning review.

There’s the tone- the franchise thrives as a comedy (see the tongue-in-cheek films and […]
Watching the CBS Upfronts last May I was really impressed by 2 Broke Girls and thought How to be a Gentleman looked pretty darn stupid. But as 2 Broke Girls enters its third week of existence I’m disappointed to find it going down in quality pretty quickly (though I am enjoying this Johnny character and Caroline […]
The inherent empathy of someone who remembers every detail she ever learns about someone makes for an intriguing concept. But Unforgettable never makes good on that promise. The Poppy Montgomery-led CBS drama is as typical as it is procedural. Perhaps based on the high enjoyment factor of Without a Trace, CBS has put a lot […]
Apologies for the delay on this one. As major Buffy fans, we at My TV have been somewhat timid when it comes to jumping into Ringer. Turns out, trepidation was the right instinct. The CW mystery has perhaps the worst production values I’ve ever seen in primetime. The overuse of cheap green screen in the […]
