Gilmore Girls/Samantha Who comedy queen Melissa McCarthy is joining Kelsey Grammar on Hank this fall. That there is enough of a reason to watch (even if there’s no love lost between you and the former Frasier Crane) Summer Glau’s guest turn on Dollhouse is no longer rumour and fantasy but reality. Whedonites rejoice! That guy […]

East Dillon’s New Stars
 

Joining Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) on the new East Dillon football field this year on season 4 of Friday Night Lights are newcomers Michael B Jordan (as Vince) and Matt Laurie (as Luke). Both new characters are being advertised as charming but flawed and there promises to be friction between them from the get go. […]

So in honour of this most auspicious holiday, that of St. Valentine, I thought I’d revisit the issue […]

Why I Love Friday Night Lights
 

Friday Night Lightsis like nothing I’ve ever seen. This week’s episode, entitled “Hello, Goodbye” was a perfect example of everything that makes this show so remarkable. No one slept with their best friend’s brother or keeled over from a heart attack; there was no brain surgery, no malicious plotting, no robots, no aliens and no […]
