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 […]
The inherent empathy of someone who remembers every detail she ever learns about someone makes for an intriguing concept. But Unforgettable never makes good on that promise. The Poppy Montgomery-led CBS drama is as typical as it is procedural. Perhaps based on the high enjoyment factor of Without a Trace, CBS has put a lot […]
It was unlikely that I would like The Playboy Club (hence the unforgivably late review). Not only is it so far from being a hit that it’s already facing cancellation rumours (though NBC swears they’re being patient this year), generally speaking female-driven stories aren’t my thing, certainly not corset-clad female-driven stories. But armed with seriously […]
Apologies for the delay on this one. As major Buffy fans, we at My TV have been somewhat timid when it comes to jumping into Ringer. Turns out, trepidation was the right instinct. The CW mystery has perhaps the worst production values I’ve ever seen in primetime. The overuse of cheap green screen in the […]
If given the chance to meet just one celebrity in my life, it wouldn’t take long for me to come up with a remarkably short list of whom I would choose. Very near the top of that list would be the endearing and multi-talented Seth MacFarlane. If you watch an interview with the Family Guy/American Dad/Cleveland […]
She’s crazy, she’s emotional, she’s exuberant to the point of obnoxious, she’s open, she’s loving, she’s a walking mess with a new condo and terrible taste in men. And as Happy Endings‘ Penny (Casey Wilson) embarks on “the year of Penny”, I can’t help but love how she lives her crazy crazy life. I also […]
Suburgatory has a lot to overcome, to be honest. The whole “oh my god, aren’t the suburbs weird?” vibe the show has going for it- whether its the hardly trenchant observations about suburban living or the incredibly snobby ways of looking at the transition of Manhattanite teen Tessa- was old when it was premiered by […]
Today I was asked a question that I’m asked quite often: what’s your favourite TV show on the air? I barely paused before giving my answer: there’s nothing currently airing that’s as touching or achingly real as the genius of The Big C. For half an hour a week I completely lose track of everything […]
