After 5 years of dramatic on-the-bubble existence, Josh Schwartz’s heartfelt espionage comedy Chuck leaves the airwaves tonight. Join us as we live-blog the final 2 hour episode featuring our favourite lanky do-gooder. 8:01- we pick up with Chuck worrying about Sarah (last seen with the intersect in her head, separated from Chuck on a […]
Touch, Kiefer Sutherland’s new pilot about to air on Fox, is described as a “drama that blends science and spirituality to explore the hidden connections which bind together all of humanity,” by Fox Publicity. Needless to say, 24 this isn’t. At the same time, the drama does focus on Kiefer Sutherland as a man needing […]
I sort of find all of the Office naysayers tiring (and I’m not just saying this because I desperately want Mindy Kaling to be my best friend). Since Steve Carell left, the internet has been full of people ready to proclaim The Office dead. Hell, BEFORE Carell left, most people agreed that the show was […]
Happy Endings is not a show that is particularly about depth. The characters are one step away from cartoons. What makes the show work (and what powers similarly surface-y shows like New Girl and, to a less successful extent, 2 Broke Girls) is the show’s non-stop commitment to its characters and to jokes*.

A new 6-part miniseries premiered on Global last week tracing the lives of women in World War II who worked in the factories making bombs and bullets for the Canadian troupes. The series sports some of the best production values ever to come out of Canada’s sadly minuscule industry and the cast is filled […]
Last night was the premiere of Little Mosque on the Prairie’s sixth and final season. We last saw our beloved Saskatchewan Muslims in spring 2011 as series-central couple Amaar and Rayyan finally got hitched and drove off towards their honeymoon (a sadly anticlimactic kiss capped the series’ 5th season). We pick up a few months […]
