Winter premiere dates

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 [...]

Fall premiere dates 2008

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. [...]

August premiere dates

If you’re not too busy following the Beijing Olympics this month (and you better watch the coverage – our Chinese overlords demand you observe them), here’s a list of what’s premiering this month. Honestly, not the best summer month for starting a show (compared to the ‘still in school’ June, or ‘let’s go out instead’ [...]

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.

Shows are back … some are not so lucky

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. Because December and January are typically slow – holidays and reruns – a few networks complete at least half [...]

Chuck (NBC, Mondays)

Now that the show has premiered, and the insane media spin is slowly fading out, let’s talk about it. Frankly. It’s bad enough this show reminds me of just how wonderful Alias was, and how quickly it was sabotaged by its own creators and network (thanks, ABC and JJ Abrams), Chuck also shows how easily [...]

2007 fall premiere dates

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 [...]
