I don’t know if things are worse this year, but there seems to be a lot of buzz around all the shows that aren’t coming back next season. I thought I’d take a few bytes to say “Good riddance” or “I’ll miss you” to the best and worst of them. (BTW, I might not mention…

2010: The Year On Screen
Movies Each year I am less inspired to go out to the movie theatres. The hassle and the hell of other movie-goers is rarely compensated by the big screen experience these days despite (or maybe because of) the move to go all 3D all the time. Seeing TRON: Legacy in the second row in IMAX…
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 – Returning Drama
If you’ve read my blog, you know that even though I’m posting about returning dramas, you’re not going to read about House or Mad Men or Grey’s Anatomy. My tastes tend towards genre shows, though I do watch the occasional melodramedy… Desperate Housewives … Let’s get that one out of the way first. Even after…
2009 Love and Hate: TV Characters
One of the things that have made this TV season so enjoyable is the many memorable characters that have cropped up. I’ve listed those that I’ve loved this year, who I can’t wait to see and who really add a unique and refreshing element to the moments when they appear on screen. Of course, not…
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…
Sci-Fi TV – Fall 2009
While the fall tv season started strong, it was not really because of new science fiction shows. Several of the new series that fit that bill delayed their starts until October and November, so as an addendum to my Fall TV reviews, I want to talk about them here. Sadly I don’t have much good…
What I watched on my summer vacation 2008
While year-round programming is still just a quasi-reality (especially if you’re not into reality TV), with DVD seasons and some summer series, the season is no longer a television wasteland. This summer I enjoyed a number of returning shows (and one new one) and I didn’t watch a single person get voted off of anything!…
Fall TV 2007 Pt. 1 – Returning Shows
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…
