“First off, let me say that this is my first time being nominated for something like this. I am so flattered! I feel very blessed to be able to do what I love and get recognition for it. This is extremely exciting! Thank you so much!” -Lucy Hale Multiple My TV Award Nominee: Best Supporting […]
After you’ve recovered from the incredibly sad (read: ridiculous, wrong and simply unfair) cancellation of Privileged, don’t despair that you may never see your favourite cast members again. It seems that the adorable Joanna Garcia (Privileged‘s leading lady) will be heading to the upper east side to romance one Mr. Nate Archibald. Her 4 episode […]
Amidst a storm of good news at the recent network upfronts, the sadness of harsh cancellations went unfelt. Now, with our joy over the renewals of Dollhouse, Chuck, Better Off Ted and Scrubs fully felt, it is time to turn our attention to the heartbreaking cancellations of two of TV’s most uplifting shows: Privileged and […]
I believe in you. True, you’ve made some hideous programming mistakes in the past and cancelled more than one beloved show, but I choose to believe in you anyway. I’m choosing to believe that, despite all appearances, you are more of a Gilmore girl than a Gossip girl at heart and that you can’t possibly […]
…even if Megan can’t. This week’s Privileged was, despite being a wonderful episode, really really sad. This marked Michael Cassidy’s last episode as the sweetest man alive, Megan’s best friend Charlie.Before he left to go to school in California, Charlie finally confessed his love to Megan, and she promptly broke his heart. And while I […]
Will is even more wonderful than I thought. I like that his family is allowed to function as a complete and loving family without any of the dysfunction that television convention would like to place on them because of their net worth. I love that he has his flaws and often gives Megan bad advice, […]
-Danny DeVito on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The gang is so funny on their own, why do they need a little fat man to make them more absurd? – Mandy on Privileged. Seriously, where did that meltdown come from? – TV online viewing area limitations. I can’t watch anything on Hulu, NBC, ABC, FOX, […]
Rina Mimoun has written for some of my favourite TV shows. She’s given voice to Lorelai Gilmore, Ned the Piemaker, Ephram Brown and Dawson Leery, and what voices those were. But what Ms. Mimoun can’t seem to do is run her own show. Privileged is so uneven that it sometimes makes me dizzy. The casting […]
While watching a recent episode of Privileged, in which the billionaire-playboy-next-door-turned-perfect-boyfriend won the heart of our heroine while her sweet and supportive best friend settled for the next best thing, I began to wonder: With so many shows serving up both the exemplary good guy and the brooding bad boy, is there some sort of pattern […]
Though still plagued with problems of a frustrating nature, Privileged has somehow managed to find its way back to a place where it’s one of my must-watches of the week. There was a period there in the middle when all it did was make me mad but after this week’s episode I can proudly say […]
So apparently Rina Mimoun has a fear that makes Megan’s fear of lulls sound rational. Ms. Mimoun (Privileged’s showrunner) is apparently deathly afraid of Sam&Diane-syndrome. Based on the idea that ‘will they or won’t they’ tension is a lot more interesting than an actual relationship, the term refers to Cheers’ infamous “opposites attract” couple and […]
Last night’s Privileged was the best it’s been in awhile. Rose got to shine brighter than Sage, Megan relapsed into “good person” territory, Will’s character was expanded to reveal more depth, we were given a break from the underwhelming character of Charlie, Everwood‘s Sara Drew guest starred and the audience finally got to see the […]
First let me say that this week’s episode of Privileged(“All About the Haves and Have Nots”) was oodles better than the last. Now on to my point. TV has rules by which most shows play. Rules about archetypes and morality and edginess and socio-economic statements and what couplings work best. Privileged, since it began, has […]
Privilegedis my unexpected new favourite show. I enjoy every single minute of it. And here’s why: 1) Megan. Despite being beautiful and charming, Megan is a type of protagonist one doesn’t see every day. Let me amend that, she is a protagonist one sees every day, just not on TV. Megan (played by Joanna Garcia) is awkward, but she’s […]
Taylor Townsend As played by the wonderful Autumn Reeser, this beautiful, controlling, caring and at times delusional spitfire is the best thing about The OC’s 4th and final season and is in many ways the saviour of the show. Privileged There is so much more to this show than the typical CW rich teenagers bit. […]
Spot the differences- I dare you. After the buzz that last year’s premiere of Gossip Girl created, its home network, The CW, is doing all they can to replicate the effect (note that I didn’t use the word “success” because on a revenue, ratings, business level Gossip Girldidn’t deliver). Gossip Girl‘s second season is off […]
