Are you a sci-fi nerdfan? If so, there’s a good chance that you enjoy Joss Whedon’s cult sci-fi TV series ‘Firefly‘. Next question: Are you doing anything this summer holiday weekend to showcase your nerdomfandom? No? Well, why do...
Over the last couple of years, Filipino pop idol Charice (full name: Charice Pempengco; but she just goes by the one name – like Madonna) has made a splash on American television with appearances on the Oprah and Ellen DeGeneres t...
I know that I’ve said this before, but ‘The Good Guys’ on Fox continues to settle into its groove, getting a little bit better episode to episode. Last week’s episode, ‘The Dim Knight’, starts with a (literal) bang. As Jack and Da...
I’ve decided that I’m rooting for ‘The Good Guys’. The show isn’t quite there yet, but I really want to like it. I want it to be good goofy summer fun. It’s very close, really. The premise is funny, the cast is strong, and the ide...
‘Glee’ concluded its first season last week with an episode titled ‘Journey’. What a great journey this show has been over the past year. Yes, some of the storylines in the first half of the season were misjudged. (I’m of course r...
I wasn’t bowled over by the first episode of ‘The Good Guys’. Although it sounds on paper like a spoof of bad ’80s cop shows should be a great deal of fun, something about the episode’s tone was off and the cast’s chemistry didn’t...
Not even all that long ago, summertime used to be a TV wasteland of nothing but reruns and castoff episodes of cancelled series. But the traditional television season structure has been eroding in recent years. The networks have s...
Oh, you clever ‘Glee’ writers. Look what you’ve done. You’ve given us an episode called ‘Funk’, which is naturally (and expectedly) about funk music. But you’ve also made all of the character depressed, because they’re in a figura...
Fox’s new summer series ‘The Good Guys’ had a “preview event” back on May 19th. I’ll be honest, I DVR’ed it at the time and didn’t get around to watching it until recently. The network re-ran the premiere this past Monday, and the...
In ‘Theatricality’, the ‘Glee’ kids learn to let their freak flags fly. This lesson comes courtesy of Mr. Schuester’s assignment for the week that they cover the songs of Lady Gaga. What a perfect fit. Once again, the show tackles...
I should have seen this coming. I don’t know why I let myself get my hopes up. Toward the end of yet another lackluster season, ’24’ really seemed to turn a corner a few weeks ago. The last three episodes were pretty good, especia...
…dary. Yes, last week’s episode of ‘Glee’ was truly legendary. Neil Patrick Harris guest starred. Could there be a more perfect fit for this show? All the episode lacked was an appearance from Kristen Chenoweth. Imagine the possib...
