With premiere time part 2 of the year getting under way, it’s about time that we here at My TV let you in on what we’re watching. *shows with an asterisk are Kelly’s most anticipated/favourites What We’re Watching (or at least taking for a test drive) * United States of Tara (Showtime, Sun 10:00) Created […]

 

I don’t have a Whedon-based crush to blame for my checking out ABC’s premier of Better Off Ted, but I do have a creator who also worked for Andy Richter Controls the Universe (one of the all-time great, one-season, fun-as-hell sitcoms cancelled by FOX) and a pretty damn charming preview. The show is about Ted, […]

Pilot Watch: Castle
 

I’ll admit it: I watched Castle entirely because Nathan “Tight Pants” Fillion stars. It certainly wasn’t because I was feeling a major lack of procedural crime dramas in my life. My Bones obsession not withstanding, I’m not really a huge fan of shows that center around a story-of-the-week murder. But let’s be honest, I’d probably […]

Recipe for Success
 

Set Veronica Marscreator Rob Thomas free on a low-pressure network like Starz. Add a winning comedy concept (a catering company full of wannabes). Then give him a plethora of Mars alum to work with (Vinnie Van Lowe, Dick Casablancas, Logan, Meg and Veronica herself… just for starters). And add a sprinkling of other winning cast […]

A Diehard’s Perspective

Pilot Watch: United States of Tara

Tonight marked the premiere of a new show on Showtime that has everything going for it. United States of Tara, a half hour comedy about a woman with multiple personality disorder, is incredibly promising. The first episode was funny and engaging and absolutely unique. I’m hoping the show proves unsinkable, and the evidence is on my […]

NBC Monday’s New Shows: Chuck and Journeyman

Chuck is adorable and fun (though very badly edited), I liked seeing Sarah Lancaster (Everwood) back on screen and some elements are really cute (like Chuck’s affectionate nickname for his sister’s boyfriend ‘captain awesome’) but Journeyman is actually better.   I actually quite liked it. Kevin McKidd is really engaging in the lead role (though […]

How great is it to hear Kristin Bell’s voice on TV again? GREAT. Now I refused to read the books, they were a little too chick lit trashy for me but all my snobbish sensibilities could not keep me away from the series premiere of Gossip Girl on The CW. And I have to admit- […]
