On the Lot (FOX)

Anyone caught this show yet? This is a reality show – and I know how rarely these are mentioned on the site. Still, looks like it could be worth our time. Plus, FOX is being very smart about it – they are launching it in summer – best time to get people hooked on weaker [...]

NBC’s fresh and freshly-killed shows

Wow, did NBC take a dive with overhauled “Raines” hourlong. When I saw the early pilot of the show, it looked quirky, even too smart for television.

TV Shows – good news and bad news

If you didn’t see this coming, why do you even bother turning on the television. Most of these are obvious, but it’s always a good thing to make cancellations official. No need to keep the fans (heh) in the dark. I can’t agree on the full season orders (except for Studio 60 yay, team), but [...]

It’s cheesy, and it doesn’t really reflect what I would pick. But, hey, that’s what the people want! I can just hear the speeches now: “first of all, I’d like to thank [...]
