Season finales much sooner than you think

We all expected this TV season to be all screwy because of the writers’ strike. But this is a little too much, even for those who have massive libraries of TV shows to fall back on (yes, it’s time for Frasier/Family Guy/Friends marathons for me, and that’s only the shows starting with ‘F’). Anyway, since [...]

2008 winter premiere dates

Happy New Year, everyone. The writers’ strike might still be on, but there are some good news for TV worms out there: some shows are coming back, and some new ones are being launched – as early as this Tuesday, January 1st.

WGA strike update – affected shows

The writers’ strike is beginning to affect the current shows. There are the basics – November is normally a sweeps month, so most of the shows have many episodes in the bank, already written and completed.

Big Shots (ABC, Thursdays)

Oh, what hopes have been dashed by this flimsy ‘Desperate Housewives’ rip-off. Oh, how I’ve waited to see Christopher Titus back on television. You remember him, from the short-lived (ok, 3 seasons is not that short) sitcom Titus – about a hilariously dysfunctional family. You probably remember all the male leads from all kinds of [...]

Emmy nominations 2007

Another award show nominations are out, and another series of disappointment for us. There’s nothing for Leary and his team from Rescue Me, there’s too little for Scrubs/Office/30 Rock/Earl, and there are way too many noms for HBO shows.

July show premieres – fill up your TIVOs

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 [...]

Summer shows you cannot miss

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) [...]

People’s Choice Awards (2007)

The people have spoken. The People’s Choice awards aired yesterday. I do not agree with all the choices made, but it was entertaining and, after all, I got nothing to complain about as I am not the show’s target demographic. See for yourself if these are your favorites:
