Are you ready for Fall Premiere Week?

September 21, 2009 1:34 PM

Okay people, here it is. Fall premiere week. Are you ready? I think the key to making it through all the TV happening this week is to stay hydrated, don't make any evening plans (this is so not the week to be social), and get rest when you can. Remember it's a marathon, not a...

Does 'Bones' atone for last season's finale?

|

September 14, 2009 1:02 PM

Ah a new season. A time to wipe the slate clean, forgive past transgressions (RIP Dead Denny), and face the fall with an open mind and a flexible season pass manager.

Before I talk about "Maneater," premiering this Saturday at 9 p.m. on Lifetime (it concludes Sunday at 9 p.m.), we need to discuss that the full title is "Maneater, a Lifetime summer event presented by Vaseline aloe fresh.".

Give 'Parks and Recreation' a chance - that's what I said

Is "Parks and Recreation," the new comedy premiering Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on NBC, a lot like "The Office?" Yes it is. It's filmed in a mockumentary style with all the characters addressing the camera. The pace, the cutaways, the lingering shots and the mugging all seems fairly familiar.

Will They? Won't They? Now we know.

Ross and Rachel. Carrie and Big. Sam and Diane.

Well, yes, parts of it. But this is the most wonderful time of the year (or at least that's what all the songs say) so let's take a look at some of my favorites of 2008.

TV Things I'm Not Thankful for . . .

|

November 24, 2008 12:43 PM

In honor of Thanksgiving, I could write a column about all the TV things I'm thankful for. Like I'm thankful that Lost, Scrubs and 24 will all be back in January. Or I'm so thankful that it actually looks like the Arrested Development movie is going to happen (remember there's always money in the banana stand). And, of course, I'm thankful that Little J wiped off her bad eye makeup on Gossip Girl (although I am strangely indifferent to who Nate ends up with, how about you?).
