CBS is still the king of ratings, but they’ve always struggled with younger crowds. Who can blame them – when your most popular shows are CSI franchise, Criminal Minds and 60 minutes, who do you think is going to tune in? So this year, they’re bringing out teen programming. I hope it’s better than it [...]
NBC, being the last network in ratings for two seasons straight, is beginning to catch on. No, they’re not necessarily putting on better shows (only time will show that, as we found out with demise of Studio 60), they’re simply announcing their sked sooner, in order to create some buzz. At this point, positive or [...]
Year after year, FOX has been ahead of the network pack in announcing their schedules, bringing new ideas to television (American Idol is still a HUGE draw, despite multiple imitations), and just thinking ahead. So it’s no surprise that FOX is the first of the networks announcing the fall schedule. I guess the fact that [...]
Hey everyone. Still recovering from that shocking ending of episode 3 of Rescue Me? So are we. Wandering why the 4400 seems to be re-starting the series, and bringing old twists and subplots into the latest season? Maybe it’s the popularity of superheroes (that new NBC’s show, remember?) that guides their writing. Ready for some [...]
Hey, you. Think that just because you TIVOed all season finales you got everything covered? Think you can spend the next three months catching up on soaps, b-list throwaway shows and reruns? You’re wrong, buddy. FX, Bravo, Showtime, and many other TV channels have discovered the joy of sex, ahem, the joy of launching (premiering) [...]
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 [...]
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. What you could easily confuse with a Medium rip-off, turned out to be more tongue-in-cheek, more realistic, and yet, had more humour and life. Well, that was the [...]
Oh, the silent beauty of a strong, muscular body. Whether it’s male or female, it’s always a beautiful sight, especially if presented well, with confidence and taste. After all, just like the character in that old Mel Brooks film (later to be remade into a musical, and back into film) – “if you’ve got it, [...]
Last year’s everyone’s favourite movie – a winner of many awards, nominated for dozens more, is Babel really that good? We’ve had our share of undeserved award-hype in the past – Brokeback Mountain, Shakespeare in Love, so does Babel fill the same over-hyped shoes, or is it actually worth watching? Well, if you are not [...]
Sometimes, when you put a whole bunch of male actors on the screen, you get drama magic. From 12 Angry Men, to Glengarry Glen Ross, to The Thing, to The Great Escape, the right combination of despair and testosterone will give you fantastic movie moments, filled with memorable quotes, crackling silences, and often-imitated facial expressions.
