Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (NBC)

“We’ll be the very model of the modern network TV show”. Repeat this quickly 3 times, and you’ll get the idea. A show with musical numbers is always worth watching. Studio 60 is a new brainchild of Aaron Sorkin – of course being shown on NBC network. It’s a delicious, well-written, and amazingly cast dramedy. [...]

New TV season begins today

The new TV season begins today (September 18th), and I hope you’re all excited about the new and returning shows. ABC has previewed its Men in Trees last week (moving it to Fridays – we all know what this means), and FOX has already premiered most of its lineup a few weeks ago. Prison Break, [...]

Fall TV (06-07) premiere dates

Wow, look at the list of all the shows this season. You’d think there would be a few less, since WB and UPN have merged, and FOX with NBC has seen a lot of cancellations last year. Nope, they’re all back – your favourites, as well as newbies, waiting for your approval. A few notes: [...]

NBC premiere dates 06-07

The fourth network seems to be getting back in shape. Just look at this lineup. Whitford, Sorkin, Fey, Baldwin, Lindo, Hutton, Tambor, Grunberg – and no he’s not in any Abrams-scripted show. NBC still got the big game show up its sleeve (Deal or No Deal), but it’s the comedies and dramas we long for. [...]

Emmy nominations and wins 2006

Here are the nominations (and winners) for television’s best shows and actors. It’s good to see the new shows (Commander in Chief, Out of Practice, The Office, Rescue Me, My Name is Earl) along with oldies but goodies (West Wing, Law & Order, 24, Scrubs, The Sopranos). Unfortunately, there’s always a show or two that [...]

NBC show finales

It has come to this – West Wing is closing today (along with Law & Order: Criminal Intent), Will & Grace is ending next week (along with ER), and we’re stuck with the second-rate programming that NBC has become known for recently. Wait, forgot all about Scrubs – the little gem that nobody watches. Except [...]

Our predictions (and actual winners) for the Golden Globes

As promised, here are our predictions of the winners. These are not in any way scientific, we just went with our own opinion of the films/actors. On Monday night, we’ll tabulate the actual results, and see just how well we know the movie industry. You can play along, and submit your own predictions, if you’d [...]

Four Kings (NBC, Thursdays)

The new year just started – only been five days – and we already have new shows, and new time slots. NBC is leading the pack with changes. Tuesdays are now Scrubs territory, thanks for bringing the med sitcom back without too much of a delay. Thursdays are bigger than before – Will & Grace, [...]

RIP John Spencer (1946-2005)

It’s a little late, I know, but honestly, when I first heard about this on Saturday morning, I thought it was an elaborate joke. Perhaps The West Wing writers are trying to get some publicity for the show, or maybe some joker announced it on the radio somewhere, and the story spread out of control. [...]

My Name Is Earl, How I Met Your Mother, Out of Practice, Office

Ah, mid-to-late September is here. You know what this means. No, not the gorgeous fall season. No, not the cloudless sky and cool nights. No, not the horrendous traffic as all kids big and small get on the road and start crawling sideways… No, this means new TV shows. And unlike so many many other [...]
