Fall TV 2011 – week 2
Didn’t I tell you that week two was going to be packed? There are over 20 new and returning shows that I want to talk about, so I’ll try to make it quick and rapid-fire (try to keep up). I’m getting a bit tired of Glee with its “We’re so unpopular that we still get…
2010 TV Characters: Love and Hate
Characters I Loved Danny “Danno” Williams, the awesome update of the theme song, and the amazing computer table are the three things that make the new reboot of Hawaii Five-O a cool show. Danno’s over-stated sarcasm, his love for all things New Jersey over Honolulu, and his refusal to trade his tie-and-dress-shoes attire for the…
TV: Red Light, Green Light (Fall 2010)

2009 Tops and Bottoms: TV Shows
2009 has been a really fun year for TV. Lots of good shows returned or debuted. There’s so much exciting stuff to write about, that I’m going to split my year-end post into 3 parts: TV shows, TV characters, and Movies. (I’m saving Movies to the end because there are a whole slew of intriguing movies…
Fall TV 2009 – week 3
Week 3 of this year’s fall TV premieres was a doozy! While it’s nice to see the networks returning to the kind of concentrated premiere schedule that kept me glued to the TV during my youth, I have to say that I put my Tivo and timeshifting to the test. To make things a little…
