Let me start this article by saying that I used to be the biggest American Idol fan around. I’ve always loved Kelly Clarkson (and always will, more on that in Part II of this article, entitled “… for The Voice”, because I’m abandoning American Idol for The Voice). I literally yelled when Clay Aiken lost […]
I was a little so-so on Smash after the premiere episode- expectations were high, as were pressures, and the exposition made for more Katharine McPhee screentime than is at all acceptable. All we knew about Debra Messing’s Julia was that she was a writer trying to adopt a baby; all we knew about her partner […]
Awake, like a lot of this season’s hour long offerings, is a deeply ambitious show. In its pilot episode, it is also a thoroughly engrossing ride, and one that promises great potential from the serialized medium.

Before we announce the winners of the 2011 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present the My TV Nominee Interview Series. The best new drama of the 2011-2012 TV season was ABC’s grossly underrated period drama Pan Am (I, sadly, speak in past tense because season one is over and chances for season two […]

Before we announce the winners of the 2011 My TV Awards, we’re proud to present the My TV Nominee Interview Series. A standout player on Canada’s best TV show, Morgan Kelly is best knows as the ever-evolving Brent on Being Erica, where he played the friend/rival/victim/love interest of Erica and her book publishing boss/partner […]
I’ve often praised the Netflix/Hulu stumble upon. It’s one of the greatest parts about streaming video, the ability to happen upon strange, offbeat, foreign or forgotten gems when browsing through one’s Netflix queue/hulu home page. So here’s the latest installment of my two part series, Better Know a British Sitcom. Spy, the shortly-named Sky-1 tv […]
