What's the new Best Show on TV?

March 12, 02:23 PM

In the past ten months, both The Sopranos and The Wire have ended their runs, so it's worth asking: What takes over from them as the Best Show on Television?

Good(?) Charlotte: Rebecca Mader talks 'Lost'

February 13, 02:14 PM

Even if she did know the full story about her Lost character, Rebecca Mader probably wouldn't be spilling secrets. But after completing eight episodes of the show's fourth season, she's almost as much in the dark as the rest of us.

Not so gentle Ben: A chat with 'Lost's' Michael Emerson

January 30, 02:34 PM

Ben Linus doesn't seem to have any inclination to return to the real world, but if he ever did, the leader of Lost's Others might make one heck of a poker player.

Pushing Daisies immediately proved itself worthy of being afforded the same special "Lost Rules" treatment.

The Year in Review: Daniel defends the indefensible

By Daniel Fienberg

December 31, 02:00 AM

2007 was a wacky television year. How wacky was it? After calling for a mandatory boycott of AMC several years ago -- something about their pan-and-scan butchery of movies and their callous disregard for the word "classic" -- I was forced to crawl back to the network for Mad Men, perhaps the season's finest new scripted drama.

The Year in Review: Much to Andy's Surprise

By Andy Grieser

December 31, 02:00 AM

One year ago, I had only just joined the Zap2it team. "Veronica Mars" was still around, "Lost" seemed like a lost cause and the idea of year-round television was iffy enough that I started plotting the Great American Novel. As for the fall season, well gosh, good thing we had the writers merrily crafting established blockbusters to make up for what would surely be a crop of weak new offerings.

The Year in Review: Hanh's Superlatives of 2007

By Hanh Nguyen

December 31, 02:00 AM

Okay, so technically a yearbook comes out just before summer, but I couldn't resist attacking those ever-popular superlatives that pigeonhole students (or in this case, shows) for all of perpetuity. Although I did adhere to a few of the traditional categories (Best Couple, Class Clown), I also utilized a few creative additions of my own.

Finalewatch: 'Lost' messes with our heads again

May 23, 09:39 PM

Well, the producers of Lost promised a season finale that would bring about a pretty big shift in the way we view the show, and you can't say that didn't happen. Now that it has, though, I don't know whether... Continue reading »

'Lost': About a boy

May 16, 08:57 PM

A pregnant question on 'Lost'

April 25, 09:08 PM

'Lost': It's my Locke in a box

March 22, 12:05 AM
