To the best cast ever: the best of Everwood, Alias, The West Wing, Ali McBeal, Prison Break, Six Feet Under, Reunion and an Oscar winning matriarch to tie them all together. Its lightning in a bottle when these people get together in front of a camera. To wonderful characters and relationships: no show has ever […]

 

I must confess that I got only half way through the pilot episode of Bionic Woman before turning it off in repulsion- and I had to force myself to get that far. I start of every new TV season with every intention of watching absolutely everything, at least giving it a couple episodes to win […]

 

She’s the best. Kate Walsh brought to life a character that was set up to be hated by an entire continent rooting for her husband to be with another woman. She turned Addison into one of the most complex and compelling characters on Grey’s and I would watch her in anything. That said, private practice […]

 

There are typically, in Boston Legal, moments when you just think to yourself “what is this?” it’s completely ridiculous and they take it too far and it’s kind of strange that it gets the Emmy attention it seems to… but… there there are moments when you realize that it’s so much more than the farce […]

Kevin McKidd is really engaging in the lead role (though […]

I really like Kid Nation!!! These kids are amazing. Even the ones you’re really not supposed to like (ie: Greg) have moments where they’re awesome (helping out the kid with the muscle spasm, offering to be Jimmy’s wing man, helping the younger kids on his team during the challenge, his pride in Sophia when she […]

Pilot Watch: Back to You, a return to the classic sitcom

The series premiere of Back to You was this week and I have to say…. thank god. This show was lovely. It wasn’t innovative, it wasn’t memorable, and it wasn’t brilliant but it was good and it was familiar.   The sitcom King (Kelsey Grammar- Cheers/Frasier) and Queen (Patricia Heaton– Everybody Loves Raymond) together with […]
