Dear Damon and Carlton
 

You’ve lost me again (forgive the pun).   You had me after season 3’s finale, I was hooked. You had me through the beginning of season 4, I had my questions but I was still on board. You began to lose me for a couple episodes in the middle there but I held on through […]

and then they all makeout

There is a grand tradition of Grey’s Anatomy season finales. Addison’s arrival left millions of viewers speechless and uncertain. Denny’s death is remembered as one of the most emotional moments of television in years. Christina’s wedding should have earned Sandra Oh an Emmy and sent Burke off on exactly the right note. So when last […]

Yes How I Met Your Mother is still chugging along and the usually unfunny Office and Scrubs still exist. Samantha Who, Big Bang Theory and 30 Rock all claim a […]

Lost returned this week with an exceptional episode. Not only were the Oceanic 6 given their “we just got rescued” flashback which cleared up a lot of muddy plot but the episode was a return to the time when Lost wasn’t just about the next big plot twist. Though always full of shocking developments and […]

Betty Babble
 

In honour of this week’s fabulous installment of Ugly Betty here are my favourite quotes from the episode. MARC: “Mandy! You’re going to be a reality TV star! It’s what every pretty girl with no specific talent dreams of” “Marc and Amanda, we’re so funny together, everyone says so” “If it isn’t Miss Fancy Pants […]
