We were afraid it will come to this. ABC’s best new show of 2003-2004 season has been axed. If you are a fan of films like ‘Out of Sight’, ‘Get Shorty’, and the new ‘Big Bounce’, you would understand our anger and disappointment. Based on Elmore Leonard’s character (played quite impressively by Jennifer Lopez), this [...]
Ah, the award season is upon us. What else is there to do during those long, dark Sunday evenings, when the cold wind is keeping us all locked up inside. Let’s tune in to the Golden Globes, shall we? The ‘Globes’ are by far my favourite award show. I know that many of you will [...]
Reality shows. We all love to hate them, especially since they made quite an impact on our everyday TV show lineup. But that didn’t last for very long and about a year ago we were promised that all major networks are going to “trim down” their “reality” lineups, but alas, it is not so. Whether [...]
The show about nothing finally has a worthy successor. Although Curb Your Enthusiasm (on HBO Sunday nights) is not a brand new show, it only now receives the attention it earned straight from season one. Better late than never. Ever since the demise of Seinfeld, many networks have attempted to imitate the success and wackiness [...]
Both stories were inevitable (and a third one is looming), but why did they announce them on the same day? Let us absorb things one by one. Oh, well. Details below. The day started early, with the announcement of Golden Globe nominees (check the official website of Hollywood Foreign Press Association. I won’t bother listing [...]
This year, at the end of November, I don’t feel the closeness of holidays. I feel the empty void of good television. Here I go again, ranting about the quality of the television these days. Maybe the two people who visit the site will agree, and sympathize. Maybe I’ve got it all wrong… Anyway, for [...]
Canadian late-night TV lineup has just gotten better. No more trying to pick between the low-brow comedy dressed up in flash, here comes Daily Show with Jon Stewart, consistently funny, and always on a low budget. This is a big week for Canadian TV history. Or, maybe I’m a little overly excited. Mike Bullard (a.k.a. [...]
I have a friend. Let’s call him Bob. Bob is a single male who comes from an Anglo-Saxon/Austrian background and he hates Everybody Loves Raymond. Then again he didn’t get My Big Fat Greek Wedding either. I understand why. He sees nothing in common with these people. He never had to deal with “the guilt” [...]
It’s nice to see Frasier is back in action, and showing its original quirkiness. For anyone, who still watches Frasier (Tuesdays, at 9 pm, on NBC), the show has been on autopilot for the last couple of seasons, and it wasn’t even heading anywhere good. Ever since Niles and Daphne have gotten together (yippee), the [...]
Just when I was going to give up on Good Morning, Miami, they decide to revamp it, and then they do it again. I think the strategy worked, and it will pay off the sitcom in the long run. Let’s see – the show’s been changed a bit back in September – a few new [...]
