Rough Landing for New Visitors
When Tuesday night rolled around I sat eagerly waiting to be wooed by ABC’s “V” but instead found myself disappointed. Was it a bad idea to watch the 1983 original right before the new “V” premiere? Probably. Was it a misguided sense of loyalty that prevented me from liking the new version? [...]

“V” is for Victory
This Tuesday the new “V” arrives on ABC. As a fan of the original TV movies and television series I’m cautiously optimistic. Will they update a classic or completely reinvent it?
Television viewing choices were limited when I was a kid. I grew up in a house way out in the country and [...]
“Castle” Takes a Trip Down “Firefly” Lane
I’m a little bummed that the World Series is messin’ with Halloween this year. I really look forward to seeing my favorite shows celebrate Halloween. Thankfully “Castle” came through with a really fun episode that stayed true to their brand of storytelling.
The episode starts with Rick trying on a Halloween costume that looked [...]
I Heart “Glee”
This past week’s “Glee” was good but also a bit weird. I’m not sure if the weirdness was from the various “mash-ups” throughout or Will’s version of “Bust A Move” and “The Thong Song”. Either way it was still a cool drink of water in the ever expanding wastelands of TV.
Quite a few [...]

Holy smokin’ sun fried vampire this week’s “Vampire Diaries” was fan-flippin’-tastic! The seemingly never ending supply of teen angst almost had me throwing in the towel the first few weeks but I stuck it out. Now I’m so happy that I did. They really turned up the story.
Honestly, it was Damon that [...]

Somehow “The Bachelorette” sucked me in last season. Don’t ask me how, it just did. I vowed to never darken my boob tube again with such an obvious lack of judgment.
But alas, it has happened again. I’ve been sucked in to next season’s “Bachelor” thanks to this weeks announcement on “Dancing With [...]

NBC, in all it’s brilliant glory, has decided to cancel “Southland” before it even began this fall. Sometimes I just shake my head, take a deep breath and count to ten. Why do TV executives make things so much more complicated than they have to be?
“Southland” was one of those shows I [...]
‘Sunny’ finds its sizzle for season 5
Funny thing about my favorite show, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
Sometimes the show isn’t that funny. It usually occurs when the gang does something altogether without much of a B story. Such was the case with last week’s “The Gang Goes on a Road Trip.” Insulating the gang in one place without too much interaction [...]

Each Thursday night for that last month I’ve been tuning to the CW for each exciting new chapter of “The Vampire Diaries”. I was somewhat suspicious of the similarity to Twilight but then discovered that this show is based on a 1991 book series by author L.J. Smith.
Elena Gilbert is your average newly orphaned [...]
