Season three seemed to fly by in the always dramatic world of Jane/Deb and her quirky coworkers, sweet best friend, various lovers and adorable guardian angel (aka worst guardian angel ever). Skirting past season two’s silly cliffhanger amusingly quickly, Josh Berman and co.’s third outing had some wonderful highlights and the occasional let’s say misdirected […]
The two tv shows debuting this fall season that deal with the sixties are implied to be something of Mad Men clones. But the truth is, as far as period pieces go, the fifties and sixties are pretty much the best of places to hang out. Change was in the air, and the constant motifs […]
We’ve been pretty busy here at My TV trying to keep up with all the season premieres (and a couple finales). In all the hubub I haven’t had the chance to mention a few of the other things I’ve been watching this week. Here, to rectify this, are a few thoughts on my DVD, online […]
Man, Vampire Diaries is a good show. I’ve already rambled on and on about how good this show is and the reasons why you should be watching, so let’s just dive into the Season Premier, shall we? After a second season that most shows can only dream of, Vampire Diaries had a lot of stories […]

The first episode of Modern Family* sported a fantastic subplot about Haley’s boyfriend Dylan (Reid Ewing). […]
The return of Parks and Rec was probably my favorite premiere of the season. Not because it was so ground breaking; I don’t even think it was that astounding of an episode (I mean, it was good, and character pitch perfect, and the triumphant arrival of Tammy I was definitely worth all the hype, and… […]
The summer reality season has been winding down (thanks for an incredibly awkward summer, Bachelor Pad!) and the fall season is starting up (go Chaz Bono, go!), never more interestingly than on the network that undoubtedly rules the reality universe- CBS. We’ve still got a couple days to go before the new Amazing Race (Ethan […]
