How do I love these TV couples? I don't. Romance on 'Grey's,' 'House,' and more

February 1, 2010 1:39 PM ET

Valentine's Day is about two weeks away and on Friday I'll chat about some of my favorite TV couples currently on TV. But before we get to the romance, I thought we would take a gander at some of the more dysfunctional couples currently on TV. Cristina and Owen on "Grey's Anatomy" (Thursday, ABC, 9 p.m.): See I...

Nothing suits me like the 100th episode of 'How I Met Your Mother'

By Amy Amatangelo

January 11, 2010 1:27 PM ET

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...

'Scrubs' scrubs in for a ninth (!!) season

By Amy Amatangelo

November 30, 2009 12:40 PM ET

Click your remotes together three times and repeat after me, "I will give this new season of 'Scrubs' a chance. I will give this new season of 'Scrubs' a chance. I will give this new season of 'Scrubs' a chance." I can't hear you. Don't think I won't come to your house to get you...

Will Work for a Good Storyline

By Amy Amatangelo

November 20, 2009 9:52 AM ET

I don't know how I feel about all the cast shenanigans on "House" this season. Many of us have known since the beginning of the season that Cameron would be leaving the show and that 13 and Taub would be back. So it made it a little difficult to get that into the whole Chase...

Are you ready for some football? 'Friday Night Lights' returns

By Amy Amatangelo

October 26, 2009 1:50 PM ET

I feel like we've know each other long enough that I can tell you I waved at the TV when Tim Riggins first appeared during the fourth season premiere of "Friday Night Lights" (Wednesday at 9 p.m. on DirectTV's 101 Network). Yes I know deep down he's a fictional character but I was just so happy...

I'm Jonesing for Joan on 'Mad Men'

By Amy Amatangelo

October 12, 2009 1:17 PM ET

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...

Sherri Shepherd is funny, her show not so much

By Amy Amatangelo

October 5, 2009 1:21 PM ET

I don't think my life would be good as a sitcom. Oh look how hilarious it is that she sits at her computer all day long. Isn't it funny how sometimes she doesn't shower until 3 o'clock because she's so busy writing? What about her addiction to seltzer water and dark chocolate? That's comedy gold!...

My not so private thoughts about 'Private Practice'

By Amy Amatangelo

September 28, 2009 1:12 PM ET

"Private Practice" had probably the most memorable season finale last year. But not necessarily for the right reasons. In a dramatic shift in tone, Violet (Amy Brenneman) was kidnapped by her crazed patient (Amanda Foreman) who performed a violent, certainly not medically approved c-section so that she could take Violet's baby. The finale was gory, unsettling,...

TV Gal Character Relocation Program

TV Gal Character Relocation Program

After watching the season premiere of "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," TV Gal reader Lisa contacted me and declared that she wanted to rescue Amy and transport her over to "Glee." Although I feared Ben would definitely track Amy down (the boy is focused) I thought it is a great idea to take her away from bad writing, terrible storylines and endless conversations about her breasts.
