Character Obsession: Julian Baker

Change is good. Or at least it can be, especially cast change-over kind of change. MASH really became MASH when BJ showed up in the fourth season to replace the frivolous Trapper; Grey’s Anatomy gained so much by adding adults like Teddy, Arizona and Owen and losing whiny upstarts like George and Izzy; Lost lost […]

 

I don’t usually cry while watching TV. Well, maybe sometimes. Okay, every now and again, but not super super easily. I’m secretly a cryer, I’ll admit that; I’m a chocolate turtle; one of those “nougat-y” people is what Glee would call me. Or, as my friend Rini puts it, I’m a marshmallow. But Glee usually […]

 

It’s saying something that I considered briefly whether this even qualified as a MY TV story.

Tonight was an historic night for The Daily Show. It was the first time a sitting president has ever been on the show. Anticipation was high and with the faux newsman’s sure-to-be-a-hit rally coming up on Saturday and midterm elections right around the corner, now was the time to do it. The two men- both […]

 

I really liked this week’s Glee. Take minute, absorb the shock, now can we move on? Great. I’d say about 3/4 of this episode was super fantastic for lots of reasons (*if you would like to read about that last quarter, see the footnote, otherwise feel free to revel in my rare Glee glee) First […]
