I’m at best a casual viewer of NBC’s Whitney. I’ve seen all 4 episodes but never on the night they air and I haven’t been expecting much of the poorly reviewed series. But it’s for those very reasons that Whitney was able to sneak up on me, becoming one of my favourite new shows of […]
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. The pilot episode of ABC’s new Tuesday night comedy Man Up! was such a show, and […]
I didn’t want to.

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 […]
