That’s it, the network TV season is over. I would ask how you felt about it but, let’s be honest, you don’t watch network TV anymore. You watch Game of Thrones and, if you’re really cool, you maybe downloaded Horace & Pete (if you haven’t, you should). You’re a young, busy, hip person; you don’t […]
“This is the real world”, says the beautiful, robotic Miranda Cosgrove as she fights with her new onscreen big sister Mia Serafino. Cosgrove is Shea, the ambitious, matter-of-fact aspiring astronaut moving home straight out of college because the government cut science funding, leaving her jobless.

Maggie Lawson is a sweet, solid leading lady, Kyle Bornheimer (who plays her brother) is great, Kevin Pollak (who […]

Why not just make a film and be done with it? I wanted to live […]
To celebrate the home entertainment release of the sci-fi sitcom classic My Favorite Martian, we have two Complete Series DVD Box Sets to give away to lucky readers. When My Favorite Martian premiered on CBS in 1963, TV was something you were home to see or never saw. There was no recording, no pausing, no rewinding, no […]
