The Crazy Ones I am blown away by how good this show was. They’ve been promo-ing it for weeks, and I was like, yeah, yeah, I’ll watch it, but don’t get so heavy-handed with the “Robin Williams’ return to television” thing. Yeah, they had a right to do that. It’s brilliant. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays […]

CBS Fall Premiere Night: Hits and Misses All Over the Place!
How I Met Your Mother First off, I wasn’t pleased when they introduced the mother at the end of last season. I am less displeased now. I’m still not completely happy about it, but less angry than I was. Robin and Barney hit a couple snags on their trip to the altar, as they realize […]
Love and Apocalypses: Sunday-Monday Finales and Premieres
FYI: you should be way proud of me for putting this thing together. I’ve been suffering through forearm/elbow tendonitis for the past few weeks, and I typed this entire post instead of dictating it. My fingers hurt, but I did it. You’re welcome. The Newsroom-Finale I think this may have been the best season of […]
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 […]
Under the Dome: Series Premiere
I’ve been focusing more on movie reviews this summer since so many series are off for the season (cable excluded), and because my time has been a little scarce to the point that it’s really tough to find time to write those TV recaps as often as I watch the shows. But, I think it’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Monday and Tuesday Night: A Bro Mitzvah, A Cliffhanger, and A Stray
As I mentioned, I had a headache that would not go away on Monday, but Tuesday was much better, so I got myself all caught up. Here’s what you missed Monday and Tuesday! How I Met Your Mother Bro Mitzvah, Ralph Macchio, Atlantic City. That’s pretty much all you need to know. Just kidding: Barney […]
Thursday: The CDC, Blackmail, and Downshifting
Grey’s Anatomy Bailey is under scrutiny for the deaths of two of her patients, and has to recount those surgical procedures to an investigator multiple times. Because she does these types of procedures so often, they begin to blur together a bit. Fortunately, although she is diagnosed with the staph infection that caused the patients […]
