2007-11-10 01:17:00 Monday Chuck (NBC, 8pm) - If you miss the quality days of the OC maybe Summer/Rachel Bilson can fill the void as she charms Chuck, tough to date with a fake girlfriend even if she is only your CIA contact.

reality round up
2007-11-08 00:34:00 So since I was talking reality television I felt like I wanted to rate the shows, but I have to admit if I?ve watched even one of these shows I don?t do it regularly (those I watch noted in bold)… so I?m doing it anyway but I’m not really standing behind these somewhat arbitrary grades. Amazing ... More About: Reality , Round Up , Round , Ality
real life?
2007-11-07 00:12:00 So as the strike takes off we might need to get a little more comfortable with reality shows. Now before you groan, some of them are pretty entertaining, you just have to be a little discerning about it and you have to know what you like. And you have to be forewarned that even the ...

the strike
2007-11-01 18:44:00 So it hasn?t happened yet, but the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers failed to reach an agreement before the contract expired at midnight last night. Now I will have to say that my even discussing this feels like reporting on actual news, which I have no interest ... More About: Strike
plenty to gossip about
2007-10-31 19:25:00 As we gear up for a replay of the pilot on Gossip Girl, or go out drinking for Halloween knowing that television will be there when we return, some might wonder what?s been going on with our new favorite guilty pleasure. Wonder no more. Well the gal pals remain in unstable waters. Blair had Chuck ... More About: Plenty , Lent

2007-10-29 22:50:00 If someone like NBC said, “Stay tuned for more My Name is Earl,” you might think that there was more of the actual show, so if after the commercial break they rolled credits for My Name is Earl in the tiny frame at the bottom while running a promo for another show, no little bit, ...

Monday Heroes ... More About: Week

2007-10-17 20:00:00 Well almost everything has started and until they cancel more stuff, move stuff around, or we get to midseason changes. Here is where things seem to be settling in for me for watching, or at least tivo backlog. (I do try to narrow things down to no more than two shows per time slot.) Monday ... More About: Schedule
the baldwins are back
2007-10-15 18:43:00 I was recently discussing the funny Alec Baldwin as network exec Jack Donaghy on 30 Rock (someone made the comment that they couldn?t get past seeing him as an older version of the actor he once was?). I then made the comment that Adam Baldwin (early on of My Bodyguard and Full Metal Jacket and more ... More About: Back

antm - down to 10
2007-10-11 08:31:00 Well last week the ladies kept up the bitchy, mostly Bianca, and tried to keep up the model. We have quickly learned that the model walking is harder than it looks because man, do some of the gals look awkward, apparently adding a good facial expression to coordination in heels and an awkward dress is a challenge. ...

2007-10-10 05:37:00 Separating the wheat from the chaff, watching the cream rise to the top, see what?s floating your boat… I can’t stop. Ok so here’s what I’m liking: Pushing Daisies (Wednesdays at 8 on ABC) ? So I?ve only seen one episode of this so far, but I love it when a show tries to be innovative in ...

tv online
2007-10-08 18:19:00 So when I misjudged how many shows I was taping and my tape ran out (yes per me and tv I still use my vcr) and I missed the last bit of Grey’s Anatomy I was relieved to remember that I could check the latest episode online.

i hate veronica mars
2007-10-04 07:39:00 Ok, so we all know that?s not true, but I?ve decided the VO (by VM?s own Kristin Bell) is maybe the most annoying part of the new show I love to hate, or the show I hate love, Gossip Girl. I am of course annoyed that the kids in private school all dress better than ... More About: Veronica Mars , Mars , Hate , Veronica
heroes chapter one
2007-10-01 19:10:00 As we tune in ?four months later?, I was trying to remember where we left off and I wondered how anyone who hadn?t been watching all last season had any clue at all.

2007-09-28 18:57:00 Well it’s tough to keep up but my schedule is finally starting to settle into place, one more wave of shows (and then perhaps a smattering) to consider… Sunday Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (ABC, Sun 9/30, 7pm) - I?ve never watched a full episode of this, but spastic/cute Ty Pennington leads a crew to totally ...

2007-09-27 06:46:00 Tonight on ANTM the ladies move into the house. Of course it?s a new crew of them but it?s never much of a difference.

judging a pilot
2007-09-25 07:15:00 Now one of the things I love about television is that I can be as judgmental as I want, but often when my critical eye comes out I need to remind myself of all that a pilot is trying to do, introduce all the characters, the one or multiple situations, plus tell a story. Sometimes you find ... More About: Pilot , Judging

More articles from this author:2007-09-07 06:37:00 So when one friend referred to Federer as ’some Swiss guy’ and another said ‘isn’t Wimbledon already over?’ I realized that folks aren’t necessarily as up to date on tennis as I am.
