If Glee would just throw out the ridiculous obsession with weekly themes and let the characters go through what they’re going through it could be an incredibly touching show. This week’s theme was preachy and strange, but this week’s story was really pretty great. Mike O’Malley, the show’s best supporting cast asset, brought back the […]
Glee returned to TV this week and there was hoopla. Of course there was hoopla. There always seems to be hoopla. Desperate fans couldn’t wait to set their eyes on their beloved songbirds after the long summer hiatus. The biggest show on TV (not numbers-wise or praise-wise, but I’m assured that it’s the biggest) entered […]
This week was the premiere of a new ABC family show called Huge. It’s basically an hour each week in which rebellious Will (you know she’s a rebel because she’s got blue hair) obnoxiously fights against losing weight at fat camp. Oh boy. I cannot wait. The premiere alone was chock a block full of […]
EVERYONE IS WEIRD. Everyone is an outsider. No one feels comfortable in their skin. Everyone has someone who puts them down, beats them up or generally makes them feel small. EVERYONE. What Glee needs to realize is that being weird does not make their characters interesting or in any way deserving of an audience’s love. […]
Maybe it’s the rosy Joss Whedon glow (and I need to go back to watch previous episodes to tell if the directing really was that much better this episode, or if I was just more inclined to notice it), but I kind of loved this week’s Glee. I think this was the show I was […]
This week’s Glee sucked. I don’t know why I had myself convinced that it wouldn’t. Well, no, it’s easy to understand how I did that: Joss Whedon directing Neil Patrick Harris and Idina Menzel… that’s all kinds of good. But TV is a writerly medium. A brilliant director cannot rescue a terrible script, neither can […]
After the aggravation that was Glee this week (the inconsiderate, bratty son parade and the over the top insecurity showcase mixed with super cheese and lack of funny- see Wednesday’s @mytvblog tweets to read more), I can’t tell you how happy it made me to watch the latest episode of Cougar Town. Consistently funny (um […]
Glee‘s unparalleled best character hasn’t had a storyline in months, appeared in 2 shots of this entire episode and had only 1 line this week. He’s the most engaging, the most charming, the smartest, the most complex and hands down the hottest. Give Him Something To Do! PS: If I was supposed to come away […]
