THE BACHELOR is back for Season 17! This time around, another also-ran from a previous season of THE BACHELORETTE tries for another shot of love. The new BACHELOR is Sean Lowe, one of Emily Maynard’s discarded loves and this man, for all intents and purposes, is like Greek-god-mixed-with-a-Ken-doll attractive. He seems genuine and ready for [...]
Posted in Mockingbird Lane, My Take on TV on Oct 26th, 2012
Bryan Fuller has long been a favorite of MToT – those few DEAD LIKE ME episodes; WONDERFALLS is one of the best gone-but-not-forgotten series in recent memory; and of course, who can forget PUSHING DAISIES, one of my favorite shows of all time? Tonight, NBC is giving you a chance to check out his latest [...]
Posted in Happy Endings, My Take on TV on Oct 23rd, 2012
I know that there are about 150 comedies airing tonight on all of the networks (really, it’s 7), and believe me when I say that you should be watching at least 149 (really, 6) of them, but if there is one show that absolutely needs to be watched (and then watched again immediately), it’s tonight’s [...]
Posted in Arrow, Fall TV, My Take on TV on Oct 10th, 2012
Another new show hitting the airwaves tonight is The CW’s take on the Green Arrow super hero, aptly titled ARROW (8/7c before an all new SUPERNATURAL). The incredibly charming (like, incredibly, incredibly charming) Stephen Amell, he of all those pictures of abs you’ve been seeing in the weeks leading up to tonight’s premiere, plays Starling [...]
Posted in ABC, Fall TV, Music on TV, My Take on TV, Nashville on Oct 10th, 2012
Connie Britton may just be one of my favorite people on this planet. For 5 years as Mrs Coach on my favorite show of all time, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, she lit up the screen with her emotions and charm. It should come as no surprise, then, that in her new show, NASHVILLE (ABC 10/9c), based [...]
Posted in 666 Park Avenue, Fall TV, My Take on TV on Sep 30th, 2012
ABC’s new Sunday night line up wraps up tonight with the series premiere of 666 PARK AVENUE (10/9c). Terry O’Quinn and Vanessa Williams star as Gavin and Olivia Doran, owners of the mysterious apartment building named The Drake. When something horrific happens to the hotel’s previous manager (supernatural, scary, you name it), Gavin hires gorgeous [...]
Posted in Fall TV, Last Resort, My Take on TV on Sep 27th, 2012
What happens when your own nation fires on you and your submarine, after you refuse to fire on 4 million unsuspecting people in Pakistan? That’s what ABC’s newest drama, the incredibly tense and well scripted LAST RESORT, intends to find out. The series comes from the mind of Shawn Ryan, creator of THE SHIELD, TERRIERS, [...]
Posted in Elementary, Fall TV, My Take on TV on Sep 27th, 2012
Thursday is a big night for me, with two of my favorite new dramas airing – the first one is over on ABC, and the second is CBS’ ELEMENTARY, which begins its run tonight at 10/9c after an all new PERSON OF INTEREST. Jonny Lee Miller (who you all should know from ELI STONE, DEXTER, [...]
Posted in Fall TV, My Take on TV, Scandal on Sep 27th, 2012
Last season, when SCANDAL premiered, I was on the fence. I don’t know what it was that put me on the fence, but there I sat. Somewhere about midway through the 7 episode run last year, I fell firmly off the fence into the “love this show backyard.” It was around the time when it [...]
Posted in Fall TV, My Take on TV, The Neighbors on Sep 26th, 2012
In what is coming to be known as “Classic Amrie,” my initial response to ABC’s newest comedy THE NEIGHBORS was “I didn’t hate it.” A show that follows Marty and Debbie Weaver, a New York city couple with their three kids in tow, who end up moving to a suburb in New Jersey. When they [...]
