Weekend Roundtable: Current TV Shows You’ve Given Up On

Josh Zyber — Fri, 02 Sep 2016 17:00:37 +0000

Breaking up with a TV show you used to enjoy can be difficult. Once you’ve spent a few years of commitment in it, you may not even want to admit that the relationship is ending. Unfortunately, some shows (even those that started out great) just stay on the air too long, and either slowly deteriorate...

Weekend Roundtable: TV Shows That Outstayed Their Welcome

Josh Zyber — Fri, 22 Apr 2016 19:00:30 +0000

Recent news that behind-the-scenes turmoil at ABC’s long-running ‘Castle’ will result in one of the co-leads exiting the series begs the question: How is ‘Castle’ even still on the air? Once a fairly amusing riff on the crime procedural genre, the show ran out of steam a long time ago and has been coasting for...

2015 Emmy Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 16:00:23 +0000

I’ve had so little interest in the Emmy Awards this year that, honestly, I didn’t even realize the ceremony was on this weekend until fellow blogger Shannon happened to mention it to me on Sunday afternoon. I didn’t make any predictions in advance, or even notice who’d been nominated. Should I be more excited that...

Poll: Fall 2014 Returning TV Shows

Josh Zyber — Wed, 08 Oct 2014 13:00:49 +0000

In last week’s poll, we asked you which of this fall’s new TV shows you planned to check out. Let’s follow that up with a look at all the returning shows coming back for another round this season. Which old favorites will you continue to watch this year, and which have you dropped? I’ve attempted...

2014 Emmy Winners

Josh Zyber — Tue, 26 Aug 2014 13:00:53 +0000

We live in an era with a seemingly endless diversity of choices for quality television programming. Yet judging by the results of last night’s Emmy Awards, it would appear that most voting members of the Television Academy only watched one show over the past year. Sweep mentality was in full effect at the Emmys this...

Weekend Roundtable: Most Annoying Movie & TV Children

Josh Zyber — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 19:00:36 +0000

Children are our future. They are the best parts of us. They are everything we wish that we ourselves could have been. Sometimes (as in ‘Ender’s Game’), they may even be humanity’s last hope to save the world. Blah blah blah…. Let’s face it, sometimes kids can be just plain annoying too. Especially when Hollywood...

2013 Emmy Winners

Josh Zyber — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 17:00:50 +0000

Remember all that hoopla from earlier this year about how the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences made the bold move of nominating the online-only Netflix series ‘House of Cards’ and ‘Arrested Development’ for several major Emmy awards? Well, that all came to naught last night when both shows were shut out of the big...

Blu-ray Highlights: Week of Sept. 22nd, 2013 – Heavy Boots of Lead, Fills His Victims Full of Dread

Josh Zyber — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:00:07 +0000

Zombies and superheroes – it feels like modern audiences will never get tired of either. Last week delivered a big zombie epic to Blu-ray, and this week brings us the first of this year’s many superhero spectacles. I’ll admit that I’m as guilty as anyone of buying into these things, but… I don’t know… isn’t...

Emmy Grows a Pair

Josh Zyber — Mon, 22 Jul 2013 17:00:42 +0000

The nominations for the 2013 Emmy Awards were announced last Thursday. I had intended to write up a post on the subject for that day or Friday, but life intervened and I got busy with other things. And frankly, the Emmys always nominate the same small handful of shows year after year anyway. Would anyone...

Emmy Winners 2012

Josh Zyber — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 16:00:23 +0000

Oh, right. The Emmy Awards happened over the weekend. That’s something notable that we should probably mention here. Of course, it wasn’t notable enough for me to actually watch the thing. Did you? I’ll do the Oscars and even the Golden Globes, but that’s about the extent of the awards-show viewing I can take. For...

Blu-ray Highlights for September 18th, 2012 – I’m Never Gonna Get to See a Mer-man

Josh Zyber — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 15:00:50 +0000

This week brings us one of the most anticipated Blu-ray releases of the year, if not of all time. That’s right, it’s the Katy Perry concert movie in 3D! Woot woot! You understand that was sarcasm, right? Dear lord, I hope you understand that was sarcasm. Why Did It Have to Be Snakes? Obviously, the...

2012 Emmy Nominations

Josh Zyber — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 17:00:26 +0000

This year’s Emmy Award nominations were announced yesterday. Surprisingly, some of my favorite shows actually made the short list. Unfortunately, it’s all for naught, given that the same series that won last year and the year before are destined to win yet again. Oh well, as the saying goes, “It’s nice to be nominated.” No...
