‘Burn Notice’ 5.04 Recap: “Well, It’s Off
At first, last week’s episode of ‘Burn Notice’ felt like the show was treading water. You know, it’s the fourth episode in, and maybe the writers are going to take a break, get back to what’s always w...
‘Rescue Me’ 7.01 Recap: “A Walking Hard-on with
It’s the beginning of the end for ‘Rescue Me’. The show began its seventh and final season last week. Is the series primed to go out in a blaze of glory, or has it already burned itself out? After the season prem...
‘Covert Affairs’ 2.06 Recap: “You Always Do the
It makes me a little sad when a show like ‘Covert Affairs’ brings in a great hammy guest star like Peter Stormare and then gives him nothing to do. What’s the point?
‘Alphas’ Pilot Recap: “You Have Barely Scratche
I don’t often tune in to the Syfy Channel. Its schlocky Z-grade monster movies and nearly-constant rotation of ‘WWE SmackDown’ reruns just aren’t my thing. Of its current original programming, I didn’...
‘Wilfred’ 1.03 Recap: “Anything Goes at Club Mi

‘Burn Notice’ 5.03 Recap: “Bro, I Just Need a L

‘Necessary Roughness’ 1.02 Recap: “Ask Him Abou
Episode 2 of ‘Necessary Roughness’ confirms most of my impressions from the previous week’s pilot episode. I like the characters and think that the show has potential, but the writing is just a little too simplis...
‘Covert Affairs’ 2.05 Recap: “You Had Me at Alp
The producers of ‘Covert Affairs’ have apparently stumbled onto an important formula to guarantee viewer satisfaction: When lacking the budget for proper action scenes or even vaguely exotic locations, start the episod...
‘Suits’ 1.02 Recap: “Are You That Pony?”
As much as I enjoyed the first episode of the USA Network’s new legal drama ‘Suits’, pilot episodes always leave me a little uneasy that further episodes of the show won’t be able to live up. Pilots often h...
‘Wilfred’ 1.02 Recap: “Everything Has To Do wit
The second episode of FX’s new dark comedy ‘Wilfred’ continues to build on the surreal weirdness of the first. The show is still perhaps more strange than actually funny, but this new episode has the benefit that...
