The Big Bang Theory The gang kicked off the season with Howard (Simon Helburg) still in space (Yay, he’s my least favourite of the bunch) and the others on dates – yes, even Sheldon (Jim Parsons). I’m not sure that I am really enjoying how much of an unfeeling automaton they are making Sheldon into…

2011 TV Characters: Love and Hate
Having so many new shows this year also means that there are so many more characters for me to love or hate (which is good, since I don’t like to repeat names on this list from year to year). Characters I Love Surprisingly, new TV shows haven’t added many new faves to my list. The…
TV Red Light, Green Light 2011
I know it seems like I’m all about the TV shows now, but frankly I haven’t been out to the movies in a while. Whenever a movie comes out that I’ve been waiting to see, the reviews are always so mediocre or worse, that I lose interest in going out to the movie theatre, especially…
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: The Year On Screen

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)
I wanted to do a TV: Red Light, Green Light post for this TV season to think through all the shows that are up in the air in terms of whether I will keep watching them. This fall season has not been great on TV. New shows are not catching on and even long-running shows…
Fall TV 2010 – Comedy
For some reason, this year all the networks decided on a concentrated premiere period. Where shows used to debut and return over the span of weeks, even months, this year the majority are airing their premieres in mid September. So, for TV fans there’s lots to squeeze in, so I’m going to have to make…
TV Season Wrap-Up 2010

Series Finales Leading up to the last episode of Lost, questions about the Island, the flashes-sideways, Jacob and the Man in Black, and so much…
