Back in the Game The promos for this made it look a little cheesy. A little simplistic. But after watching it, it was anything but. It was actually really funny! Terry (Maggie Lawson, our favorite blond detective from Psych!) Is a recently divorced single mother living with her curmudgeonly father nicknamed “the Cannon” (played by […]

SHIELD Explodes onto Tuesday Night and Some Other Stuff, Too
Agents of SHIELD May I just say, well done, sir. Well done. They really knocked this one out of the park. It was so nice to see so many familiar faces–J. August Richards (Angel), Ron Glass (Firefly), and a few other names in the behind-the-scenes credits, not to mention the main man, back from the […]
The Fall Line-up: It Ain’t Pretty
I mapped out the shows I wanted to watch for the new fall season weeks ago as soon as the premieres were announced, but seeing them all huddled together in such a small table, this is pretty effed up. Last season’s schedule (see “Old Standbys”) actually looks somewhat manageable, except for Thursdays, which are now […]
Scrapped: What’s Been Canceled May 2013
It’s official. The counts are in, and looking toward this fall’s line-up the networks are being brutal. I wasn’t surprised by a few of these, like Smash and Guys with Kids, and I’ve heard rumors about most of the rest of these for a while now, but it makes it no less sad that some […]
Sunday Night: Mergers, Blackouts, and Dirty Deeds
Mad Men This week, Don gets in some big trouble after he fires the client from Jaguar. He manages to find a way around it when Roger gets him a meeting with someone in charge over at Chevy, but the big problem he creates comes when he partners up with Peggy’s boss over at her […]
April Week 5/May Week 1 Recap: Talk Shows, Wine, Harassment and Pilferings
Hawaii Five-0 The Five-0 crew gets a visitor, the crew from a talk show, hosted by Savannah (guest star Aisha Tyler). As news crews are wont to do, Savannah and her camera crew try to get a little too close to the crime scenes, and try to dig a little too deep into the team’s […]
Friday: McEnroe and Kerkovich Overload, Plus Saturday: A Death in the Family
Happy Endings I’m very sad to see them go. There’s still no word on whether it’s going to be renewed (as far as my usual sources are aware, anyway), but I’ve enjoyed spending time with this crazy crew over the past three seasons. The first episode was a Jane/Brad vs. Max/Alex tennis extravaganza while Dave […]
Thursday: Domestic Abuse, Moriarty, Breaking Up, and An Old Friend for Dinner
Grey’s Anatomy This was definitely one of the stranger episodes, strange in that it was off-putting to see Bailey in such a state. All of the characters on this show are really strong, and they’ve all overcome a lot over the years, but Bailey is one of those people who doesn’t show weakness. In this […]
Wednesday: A Handyman, a Mayoral Campaign, and a Setup
I was really tired this week, so I couldn’t put the recaps together on time. I’m working on catching up (once again), but I don’t expect to finish them all today. In any case, here’s Wednesday night: The Family Tools It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. I love JK Simmons. Thank You for Smoking, […]
Sunday Night: Bullets over Memphis, A Major Burn, and What Else, Coke
I was battling a stubborn headache all damn day Monday, so I wasn’t feeling up to putting together all the recaps, but here’s what you missed Sunday. Mad Men The show centers around a contemporaneous event and everyone’s reaction to it: the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. SCDP and Peggy’s new firm are all […]
