I seem to be a day behind this week, but I’ve already got Thursday’s post done, so there! Back in the Game This is one of the few comedies that was able to hold steady on the laugh-o-meter from week one to week two. Terry is one of those kick-butt female characters that makes me […]

Monday/Tuesday Catch-ups! Dreams, Two-timers, Selfies, and Arsonists
Sorry the Tuesday recaps got delayed. I had to do some errands after work on Tuesday and then some real work when I got home, and then my tendonitis was bothering me when it came time to write, so I had to hold off. But, lucky you, I now had time to get Monday’s recaps […]
Thursday and Friday Recaps: Storms, Family Drama and Hostages
Grey’s Anatomy I totally forgot the premiere was a double episode! And I managed to miss both of them. Oops. Lots going on, lots of mayhem still ensuing after the storm of the century hit Seattle at the end of last season. The hospital is still buzzing with incoming injuries, and the ER is so […]
Wednesday and Thursday Catch-ups: Baseball, Comas, and Families
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 […]
Monday and Tuesday Recaps: Horsemen, Criminals, Pot-Offs, and Taggers
Sleepy Hollow How do we make Sleepy Hollow even more like The X Files? Why, Abby was bound for Quantico! Of course! I thought I’d mention that because I’m having fun comparing these things to shows I know and love. This episode was actually quite an improvement over the first. It looks like there will […]
Thursday Night Crazies, Tremors, and Family
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
