It’s just too bad about Smith, although I couldn’t care less about Kidnapped. When NBC resorts to ripping off a FOX show, that’s a bad sign. Not that there’s anything wrong with FOX in particular – 24 and House are amazing entertainment, consistently from episode one. But, pardon the unpopular opinion, Prison Break and Vanished [...]
“We’ll be the very model of the modern network TV show”. Repeat this quickly 3 times, and you’ll get the idea. A show with musical numbers is always worth watching. Studio 60 is a new brainchild of Aaron Sorkin – of course being shown on NBC network. It’s a delicious, well-written, and amazingly cast dramedy. [...]
The new TV season begins today (September 18th), and I hope you’re all excited about the new and returning shows. ABC has previewed its Men in Trees last week (moving it to Fridays – we all know what this means), and FOX has already premiered most of its lineup a few weeks ago. Prison Break, [...]
Did you know, the working title of the movie was “The Passion of the Clerks”? I think, in light of Mel Gibson’s recent attack on the Jews of the world, it might have been a good ideas to stay away from that title. It was funny, but it would have given the film a different, [...]
Wow, what a lineup this year. We thought Toronto Film Fest was outstanding in 2005 (Everything’s Illuminated, Mrs. Henderson Presents, A History of Violence, and dozens of other films), but so far this year we haven’t seen (or heard of) anything bad. Every screening we go to, every review we hear is just great. Stay [...]
Wow, look at the list of all the shows this season. You’d think there would be a few less, since WB and UPN have merged, and FOX with NBC has seen a lot of cancellations last year. Nope, they’re all back – your favourites, as well as newbies, waiting for your approval. A few notes: [...]
Congratulations, America! Your most popular comedian (voted by you) is a cripple. How telling, how sadly ironic. Please don’t bash me over the head with your political correctness, or call me a bigot. Try to understand this simple comedy concept – the audience should be laughing with the comedian. As soon as they’re laughing AT [...]
It was only a matter of time before Survivor tackled Cook islands – a few truly untouched places on earth. Let’s bring in American faux-celebs, and camera crews. And, to no one’s surprise, Two and a Half Men is still on schedule, despite being the most overrated sitcoms of the last decade (besides Yes, Dear). [...]
As you know, the WB network and UPN are going to merge this fall, to create the new CW network. Naturally, their best shows are joining together into a pretty solid lineup. Now you can watch Veronica Mars, Everybody Hates Chris, The Game, Smallville, Runaway and Supernatural all on one channel. And, for reality junkies, [...]
The fourth network seems to be getting back in shape. Just look at this lineup. Whitford, Sorkin, Fey, Baldwin, Lindo, Hutton, Tambor, Grunberg – and no he’s not in any Abrams-scripted show. NBC still got the big game show up its sleeve (Deal or No Deal), but it’s the comedies and dramas we long for. [...]
