Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a new favourite cable series. Showtime’s Episodes is a masterpiece ode to/criticism of television, a nostalgia-fueled/thoroughly modern story of culture clash, assimilation, corruption, disappointment and the ways people let each other down. But it’s a comedy. A brilliant comedy- perhaps the funniest and smartest to hit cable in years. With […]
CBS has just announced that celebrity multi-hyphenate Ashton Kutcher will be the man to replace Charlie Sheen when they bring back Two and a Half Men. Here’s what executive producer Chuck Lorre had to say: “We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family. […]
When a cab driver ruins The Amazing Race. Sure, I really hate it when contestants are rude to their cab drivers, but second only to that is my intolerance of the unfair realities of the game: Things like long waits that result in everyone getting on the same flight, making a lead hard to rollover […]

If there’s one thing you learn from American Idol it’s that song selection is everything (and that Steven Tyler is a god). That rule has never been more true than for this week’s episode of Glee. “Born This Way” had some meaningful moments (here’s looking at you Santana!) and some trite ones (sorry Quinn, when […]
After falling behind at the worst possible time (in a U turn leg right after a non-elimination leg), one of the best teams in Amazing Race history was eliminated tonight leaving a final group of unexpected racers. There was no way, going into this season, I would have expected a final grouping that didn’t include […]
Until this week I’ve been watching the 22nd season of Survivor rather casually. I’d pay attention to the first fifteen minutes or so, just to make sure Matt won the duel, then I’d casually watch, just to ensure Rob was still in control- both these things in tact, I wouldn’t care who was voted out […]
