Can you smell it in the air? The mid-season premieres are almost here. Some of the new shows, some – returning favourites. Most will be eagerly awaited, as a replacement for the bloated fall barrage of wasted opportunities. Some – will be avoided like the plague – year after year. All – are worth your [...]
Oh, where to begin – Deal or no Deal, right after the Olympics (had enough plugs for that show); ‘Til Death, premiering right before Sept.11 anniversary – two evil events side by side; or maybe Ugly Betty – coming back on September 25 – for those saps who like sappy shows covered in sappiest sap. [...]
The summer is finally here, Lost season finale was fantastic, keep talking about it and speculating on the next season. Here’s a list of shows starting this month. The cable networks have been busy since the strike, and have a few things to share with you. Unfortunately, Rescue Me is not coming back this summer [...]
Well, the strike is over (we’ll post a link to the accomplishments shortly). Looks like the guild is going to vote in it rather quickly, and they’re going to accept the (now) preliminary terms. The writers are heading back to their desks pretty much immediately after the vote, and we may just salvage the rest [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
