RIP John Spencer (1946-2005)

It’s a little late, I know, but honestly, when I first heard about this on Saturday morning, I thought it was an elaborate joke. Perhaps The West Wing writers are trying to get some publicity for the show, or maybe some joker announced it on the radio somewhere, and the story spread out of control. [...]

Alias wraps up this year (ABC)

Not a big surprise for anyone who follows the cast of Alias, and the career of JJ Abrams. Since three cast members were planning to leave at the end of this season, JJ is busy making big budget movies (MI:3), and Lost is pulling in great ratings, it was only a matter of time before [...]

Commander-in-Chief (ABC)

West Wing is limping towards the inevitable cancellation (well, everyone’s going to call it an official end of the show – after all eight seasons for a drama is very, very good – but we know that the show has suffered a lot since Aaron Sorkin and Rob Lowe left). There are hardly any other [...]

Threshold (CBS)

This TV season is full or supernatural shows (trying to duplicate the amazing success of last year’s Lost. Of all the shows I am most intrigued about Threshold – a new project from Brannon Braga – the guy behind numerous Star Trek’s series. To be sure, I tuned in to watch Supernatural, Surface and Invasion, [...]

My Name Is Earl, How I Met Your Mother, Out of Practice, Office

No, not the horrendous traffic as all kids big and small get on the road and start crawling sideways… No, this means new TV shows. And unlike so many many other [...]

James Doohan (Star Trek’s Scotty) has passed away

Rest in peace, Scotty. We have grown up with you at the control panel as Ster Trek’s most memorable engineer. You may have been typecast after the three-year long run with the original series, but boy, what a character you created. When the ST universe came back in late 70s in a series of movies, [...]

Excellent actors, and imaginative writers, superb producers, keen-eye directors and Joan Rivers are going to be out in that red carpet again in just a few short weeks telling the world who they’re wearing. All joking aside though-last year has been good to us [...]
