Everyone starts with the new shows, but since I watched the old shows first, that’s where I’m going to begin: Heroes I’m assuming you all watched the return of last year’s hot new show, so let’s get to it. I’m still not convinced that Hiro’s time-trip back to feudal Japan isn’t a premature shark-jumping, but…

Alvin’s 50 Favourite Shows
Welcome to my 100th post. To honour this auspicious milestone, I’ve decided to do what many web sites seem to be doing — come up with my top 50 TV shows of all time (I started with 100, but it was just too much — and even with 50, I hope you’ll stick with me)….
The Simpsons Movie – Movie Review
“Spider-pig, Spider-pig, does whatever a spider-pig does.” … [That song is stuck in my head.] I, like every Simpsons fan out there, had such high hopes for The Simpsons Movie (not that it was 18 years in the making — I mean, how bogus is it to “hope” that a TV show you enjoy will…
2007 Season Finales
Another television season has ended, and on some cliffs we’ve been left hanging–but nothing to make me crave next season. Alias, Battlestar, Lost, X-Files, and even Friends was always good for some major game-changing in the last episode, but this year’s shows aren’t quite stringing me along for next fall. Heroes – “How To Stop…
Fall TV 2006 – week zero
The fall TV season doesn’t “officially” start until this coming week, but a few shows have already gotten started. Surprisingly early (some years it doesn’t begin until November), The Simpsons returned last Sunday with a Sopranos/Godfather-inspired episode featuring the new character of Michael, Lisa’s classmate and son of Springfield mob boss Fat Tony. Other returning…
2005: The Year on TV
Let’s face it. The new fall season is a dud. They’ve cancelled shows that I was watching (like Just Legal and Threshold) and kept on inferior ones (like Invasion, Surface, Ghost Whisperer) that I wouldn’t want to watch unless you paid me (and I ain’t seen no cheques in the mail yet!). However, calendar year-end…
Replay TV: Are you missing out?
Here are some shows that are back on TV. They’re all 5 out of 5 in my books, so don’t miss ’em this time! Band of Brothers – 10-part mini-series; an incredible portrayal of a troop of soldiers in WWII. The completely engaging battle scenes really make you feel like you’re in the trenches with…
TV Roundup: Sept. 11, 2005
This was the first week of the new fall season, but not too many shows debuted. I had already given up on Prison Break and Rome after watching a couple episodes of each. New this week, Reunion, the drama that follows six friends for 20 years after their high school graduation, each episode covering a…
