We’re midway through the season of The Bachelorette and I’m wondering if I’m the only one who wants to slap a little sense into Ashley. She had twenty-five guys to choose from on that first night yet she chose to keep Bentley around…the same Bentley she had been warned was not on the show for [...]

NBC has a new show this year that wants to become event television: The Event, which premiered last night. I don’t really know what’s going on, of course. This isn’t the type of show where viewers are meant to, at least not at first. But peppered with a slew of likable and talented actors, and [...]

This past Tuesday, NBC’s Parenthood returned for a second season. A surprise hit after a rocky start, the show has already received a 22-episode order, making this season a full one for the charming family drama. Season one ended with some heavy issues, and while those things have not gone away, the season premiere avoids [...]

(If you’re memory of the season finale is blurry, here’s my review from last May.) Gossip Girl, now entering its fourth season on the CW, has never been better than in these first two episodes of the new season. Titled “Belles de Jour” and “Double Identity,” the show picks up a few months after season [...]

FX has television’s newest crime show, Terriers, though I’m sure it won’t hold that ‘new’ status for long. Why are crime dramas the most common type of series on television? Sure, I get the draw of a few of them. Bones, for one, has a very eclectic cast played by extremely talented actors, so I [...]

What can I say about the CW‘s Nikita? ‘Lots of potential, slow start’ sums up the pilot pretty good. Nikita is a character many audiences are familiar with, having been the subject of a movie and a cable series. But now she’s back in an updated series, complete with action and espionage. And, surprisingly for [...]

Two years ago, Bravo canceled a popular show called Work Out amid much controversy and drama, cause by comments that may or may not have been said by trainer and owner Jackie Warner about a breast cancer survivor’s implants. While much about what happened hasn’t been revealed publicly, it meant the end to one of [...]

ABC Family has made it’s first decent sitcom with Melissa & Joey, a new show starring Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina, the Teenage Witch) and Joey Lawrence (Blossom) in the title roles. Premiering just two weeks ago, the show has earned a season pass from me after four episodes. The show centers around slightly slutty, slight [...]

Last night was the 62nd Annual Emmy Awards, and this morning, the results are a mixed bag. First, the broadcast itself. Host Jimmy Fallon did ok. His singing tribute to 24 and Lost was very cool, but his reading of twitter comments was beyond lame, and he did it multiple times throughout the night. The [...]

Showtime‘s Weeds returned for it’s sixth season last Monday, and the first two episodes have basically only set up the next volume in the story. I saw volume instead of chapter because this is the second time the show has practically reinvented itself from the ground up. At the end of season three, the suburb [...]
