Fall TV 2012: Week Two/Three – Returning Drama
Most dramas these days like to end a season with some kind of climax or cliffhanger. While I can’t say that I spent the summer waiting with bated breath for any epic conclusions, it was nice to see some of those story threads tied up; and to see what kinds of lasting changes might have…
2012 TV Season Wrap-up

TV Red Light, Green Light 2011

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…
