My Take On…MADAM SECRETARY on CBS

Tonight on CBS (8:30/7:30c depending on football, and re-airing at 10:30/9:30c), the all new drama MADAM SECRETARY premieres.  Téa Leoni stars as Elizabeth McCord, a woman who, due to a history with the President from her days in the CIA (she left for ethical reasons), finds herself as the surprising new Secretary of State for the United States. As she struggles to find her footing among the more seasoned members of the cabinet and inner circle, she also has to find

My Take On…THE GOOD WIFE Season 6 premiere

Full disclosure? I’m so tempted to just type “I love THE GOOD WIFE more than mostly everything on TV,” as my review of the Season 6 premiere (Sunday at 9:30/8:30c on CBS), and leave it at that.  That’s how much I love it and the premiere, which I’ve been describing to people as “weird/good” because the story goes so far in a direction I didn’t think it ever would that it felt uncomfortable in a great way. We pick right

Quick Take: RED BAND SOCIETY on FOX

I don’t dislike RED BAND SOCIETY.  Not fully.  I liked Octavia Spencer very much.  And Dave Annable is great and beautiful with that salt-and-pepper hair going on.  And I really like everything regarding Thomas Ian Nicholas and Wilson Cruz and Griffin Dunne.  Are you sensing a theme yet?  Because therein lies the problem – I should like at least something related to the kids in the show that make up 60-70% of the cast and story.  But I didn’t.  Nothing

My Take On….THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA on NBC

I struggled with what words to use to describe my feelings for THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA, premiering tonight on NBC after a special two hour AMERICA’S GOT TALENT finale (though, you wouldn’t know that unless you paid attention to the annoying and silent pop up things that appear during other shows, since NBC itself keeps saying it premieres NEXT week on 9/24…but I digress).  This image is all I could come up with**: **What I’m really trying to say is

Quick Take: HAVEN S5 kicks off tonight

HAVEN returns to Syfy tonight at 8/7c with an all new episode that picks up minutes after the finale that found Duke bleeding from his face holes, Jennifer possibly not breathing, William vanquished to another realm, Dave shot, Vince worried, and Nathan not exactly sure what comes next. And Audrey?  Well, she’s not exactly Audrey these days, now is she? What follows is an exciting premiere that has our gang trying to save Audrey from the Mara inhabiting her body

Comic Con 2014: Try not laughing with Mark Boone Junior and Tommy Flanagan as they preview the end of SONS OF ANARCHY

At Comic Con 2014, I was lucky enough to spend another Sunday morning with the always wonderful cast of SONS OF ANARCHY (premiering Tuesday, 9/9 at 10/9c on FX).

Comic Con 2014: A “loving” time spent chatting with Drea De Matteo and Dayton Callie about SONS OF ANARCHY

At Comic Con 2014, I was lucky enough to spend another Sunday morning with the always wonderful cast of SONS OF ANARCHY (premiering Tuesday, 9/9 at 10/9c on FX).  When Dayton Callie and Drea De Matteo sat down, we were treated to a great behind the scenes look at their “friendship” and the “love” they have for each other – she, to him, is the daughter no father would ever want. They share a little bit about the final season,
