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 […]
It’s a Mad Men World: Sunday Season Premiere
Mad Men Wow. A couple little twists, a beautifully photographed show, and a few new characters. What a delight it is to be back in the sixties with all of my favorites ad men and women! The show starts out in Hawaii where Don and Megan are on vacation. Megan is now a regular on […]
A Blast with Thursday Comedy and an Intense Premiere
New Girl Jess and Nick try to go on a regular date, while Winston and Schmidt try to sabotage it, and end up sabotaging themselves. Jess runs into Russell (Dermot Mulroney) while they’re out, and she and Nick go back and forth (literally and figuratively) on what they really want their relationship to be. On […]
Sunday: Two-Hour Premiere with a New Mob in Town
Red Widow What a premiere! This doesn’t mean it’s a keeper, but it was pretty darn good. I think a lot of new shows might fare better if they did a two-hour premiere. When it comes to a story like this that has so many details, so many characters and so much going on, airing […]
Tuesday: A Crybaby, A Premiere, and A Bloodbath
Don’t forget: there’s a marathon of The Americans first five episodes this Friday, March 1! Tune in or set your DVRs! New Girl This was kind of a fun episode. Jess is still thinking about her kiss with Nick, and is looking to get some new lips to think about. Meanwhile, Cece finally agrees to […]
Thursday Night New Episodes and Premieres!
Grey’s Anatomy This was another semi-funny one. There was a guest appearance from Andy Milder (you would remember him as Dean Hodes, Celia’s husband from Weeds) as an instructor teaching the surgeons some new techniques to help them operate more efficiently. The doctors are all worried about who’s going to get fired, and when Meredith […]
Wednesday Night: Premieres and Farewells
Guys with Kids This one was pretty entertaining–Chris asks Nick and Emily to join him for the new “trivia night” down at the bar, and Nick and Sheila take over with their mutual insane competitive streaks. Marny tries to take some time for herself, taking Nick’s advice to lie to her husband about where she […]
CBS Monday and the Premiere of The Following!
Because CBS is weird about not showing full eps of 2 Broke Girls, this one is going to have to go by the wayside in favor of the new show, The Following on Fox! How I Met Your Mother Barney and Robin are both adjusting to engaged life as Barney has to find a way […]
Wednesday Night and New Thursday Premiere: Drama Building or Crumbling?
American Horror Story: Asylum Kit lives somewhat polygamously with Alma and Grace and their children, but as Grace becomes more obsessed with the visitation and abduction she experienced from the aliens, Alma becomes increasingly distressed and afraid of their return. Without warning, Alma kills Grace in the middle of the night, and Grace goes the […]
