Side Order of Life is making me somewhat paranoid: What does it say about my social life that I kind of wanted to join Vivy's cool-kids-with-cancer support group? They seemed like a heck of a fun group of people. Nothing like chemo side-effects, nausea, hair-loss, single testicles and dying nerves to bring out the party in people, I guess.
A show like Tell Me You Love Me requires patience on the part of the viewer. And that patience was paid off in grand fashion in this, the show's fourth episode. The groundwork laid in the first three episodes is finally starting to move past mere exposition and into real drama. While secrets are still being maintained, and no one on the show has fully opened up to each other, the show is finally shining a light on the wounds these characters keep so closely guarded.
Welcome to another season of America's Chattiest WASPs, or as ABC insists on calling it, Brothers & Sisters.
It is no secret that I think both Larry David and Curb Your Enthusiasm to be exceedingly funny. As much as I'd like to meet Larry David, if he is anything in person like he is on the show I don't think we could be friends.
It's a new season on Desperate Housewives, and you know what that means! New neighbors, with new secrets. Although in tonight's episode, which picks up one month after the season finale left off, there were more than enough secrets to go around. All in all, a pretty good start to the season, although it wasn't as engaging as the show once was.
It's been a long 12 weeks for Rock of Love fans. We've seen copious amounts of Lycra clothing, clear high heeled shoes and unnatural breasts. We've seen more pole dancing than the bouncers at Scores. We've seen levels of alcohol consumption that would give most of us blood poisoning. And we found out that Lacey beeped Bret's beep rather often before she was sent home for being completely insane. Which brought us to the final two.
After a first season that stuck relatively closely to the key plotpoints from Jeff Lindsay's Darkly Dreaming Dexter, the second run of Showtime's finest show went off the reservation with Sunday (Sept. 30) night's premiere.

Let's face it, the ultimate question people want answered about tonight's Las Vegas is how do they get rid of Ed Deline (James Caan) and Mary Connell (Nikki Cox)? I guess people are probably interested in how the whole Sam Marquez (Vanessa Marcil) kidnapped and in a box works out too, and maybe even Delinda's being so close to an explosion in the Montecito.
This week's Flash Gordon was pretty packed. There were a lot of elements that were finally put in place to ensure a season finale with a lot of punch. Sure, there was the Mongo Villain of the Week, but there was also a lot more in relation to the main plot (Find Papa Gordon!) than there has been in weeks.
Recently back from the dead, we find Melinda Gordon in the premiere of the third season seeing the earth move, and doors appear in the middle of the street, all while trying to sort out who the mystery man was during her near-death experience. Believing it to be her father, Tom Gordon, who left when she was 11, Melinda begins to sort out her past, her memories of her father, and her difficult tension-filled relationship with her mother.
