Fall TV 2012: Week Two – Returning Comedy

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…

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…

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 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…

Now that the TV season is over, what did I think of all the series I watched this year? A lot of times it comes down to what I watched first (Medium, Supernatural, Lost, Privileged, Pushing Daisies) and last (Smallville, Cupid) on my Tivo. We hardly knew ye… (New shows cancelled.) Privileged – Definitely one…

Fall TV 2008 (part 2)

Sorry for snoozing a bit while the new fall TV season barrels on. There are quite a number of new and returning shows to recap, so I’ll get right to it: ᅠ Smallville – The usual brand of stuff. Frankly, I have no clue where this show is going or has been for the last…

2008 TV Season Review

Always struggling between whether to review TV seasons at calendar year-end or summer season-end, but inspired by the awesome finales of Lost and Battlestar Galactica, I’ve decided to talk about the shows I loved, and not-so-loved this season (no comment, however, on shows I dropped ages ago — that means you: Bionic Woman, Dirty Sexy…

2007: The Year on Screen

Pardon the grandiose title of this post, but as the year comes to a close, I like to take a look back at high points (and maybe a few lows) at the movies and on TV. The Silver Screen This year was a pretty average year for me at the movies. I watched about 30…
