With each TV season, we discover new characters and stars to fall in love with. Remember there was a time when no one knew who Simon Baker or Eva Longoria Parker were. Here are my favorite new faces of the TV season: Charlie McDermott as Axl on "The Middle" (Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. on ABC): Patricia...

You know I tend to pick on the shows I deeply care about. So admittedly I've been a little hard on "How I Met Your Mother" this season. But that's because I know how good the show can be. I'm so happy to tell you that the 100th episode (Monday at 8 p.m. on CBS) is...

Here are my favorite TV quotes of 2009: "If Skynet actually did exist in the Future, a perfect way to infiltrate and destroy all of mankind would be to send Terminators back posing as actors who have played Terminators in popular films and television series, lulling us into a false sense of security - i.e.:...

It's no secret that I love TV. Sure we have our problems - sometimes TV lets dead characters linger too long or cancels a show I adore or ruins a perfectly good character (I'm talking to you "Desperate Housewives"). But the reason I keep coming back night after night is because TV always entertains me,...

I've made my list and I've checked it twice. Here are my picks for the Best of Everything Television for 2009: Best Discovery: Enver Gjokaj as Victor on "Dollhouse." Let's hope he pops up on some other show very soon.  Best Brothers: Sam and Dean on "Supernatural" Best reason to watch a show aimed at...

November sweeps comes to an end this Wednesday and I thought now would be the perfect time to check in on some of my favorite new shows this season and see how they're doing. And, in honor of Thanksgiving, I'll start by saying what I'm thankful for. "V:" What I'm thankful for: Ah, there's so...

I think you know my television pet peeve is when I'm able to play predict-a-plot. You know when ten minutes into a crime drama, you say "that's the killer" and you turn out to be right. Or to pick a very current example, you think you already knew what was up with the new neighbors on...

I've been trying to figure out why some people (including me) have really been enjoying "Cougar Town" (Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. on ABC) and some people loathe it with a passion I reserve for shows like "Accidentally on Purpose" and "The Ex List." Sure shows and performances have divided us before and certainly one person's...

It finally happened. Ever since "Ugly Betty" premiered, I've been waiting for Betty (America Ferrera) to start dressing a little more sophisticated and put together. I didn't want her to lose the things that made her Betty but I also thought it odd that she worked at a fashion magazine for three years and not...

Last night's episode of "Mad Men" was great except for one thing - there was no Joan. "Mad Men" has created this world where characters effortlessly move in and out of episodes from the background to the center of the action. For example, we saw little of Pete and a lot more of Sal last...
