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 [...]
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. The networks might be bitching about the lack of new programming, and being [...]
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. Because December and January are typically slow – holidays and reruns – a few networks complete at least half [...]
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 [...]
Well, Labor Day is over, and this can only mean one thing – unless FOX is jumping the gun and launching half the season in the end of August (those pesky ratings will make you do strange things), the new TV season is upon us. For those still tuning in to the telly, and not [...]
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. Obviously, the last episode of Sopranos was nominated. I could have told you that back in [...]
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) [...]
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:
2007 is here, time to detox from the holidays, stop all the book reading, and get back to TV watching. Here’s the list of premiere dates for new (and returning) TV shows. Get your TIVOs going.
