Reviewing comedy pilots is a notoriously difficult endeavour. Lots of comedy comes from the familiarity we have with people and their expected rhythms and it can be incredibly hard to jump into one episode of a comedy and immediately pick that up. For example, I pretty much hated the New Girl pilot, but when I […]
And so begins the longest wedding weekend ever. When I heard the creators of HIMYM were planning on making Barney and Robin’s LEGEN-wait-for-it-even-though-Barney-says-he-
Continuing our 2012 Emerging Artist Awards over into My TV, this recipient- at 35- is a fair bit older than the others (the My Cinema Emerging Artist was 14 when he made the movie!) but we’re pretty sure he counts as Emerging because 2012 saw him go from “that guy you sorta might recognize from […]

Despite all the stereotypes that might make it seem uncool or uninteresting, […]
Before I started watching FOX’s new drama, Sleepy Hollow, I had a lot of doubts about its viability as a TV show. After watching the pilot, I still have a lot of doubts, just different ones. (Spoilers ahead) The biggest pre-watching question was: how will a fairly straightforward novel be sufficient source material for a […]
