BEING HUMAN is back and Courtney K is excited!

IT’S BACK IT’S BACK IT’S BAAAAAAACK!!!! I have been seriously jonesing for BEING HUMAN (back Monday night at 9/8c on SYFY) since it went on hiatus. The complicated lives of 3 roommates who just happen to be Vampire, Ghost and Werewolf sunk it’s jaws, cold dead hands, and claws into me (see what I did there? Nice right? ) and has never let go. I’m perfectly ok with that. Last year was brutal; the season finale left so many questions

JANE BY DESIGN Quick Take – we think you should watch!

See Jane. See Jane be a talented high school student making her own smashing clothes. See Jane have a sexy best friend, Billy; see Jane and Billy be social outcasts. (It’s so unrealistic, these two are SO adorable but hey, it’s television.) Jane and brother, Nick have money troubles. Before you can say, “Welcome to the Club”; Jane applies for an internship at a prestigious fashion house and mistakenly gets hired not as the unpaid intern, but as a salaried

Courtney K continues to love / hate PRETTY LITTLE LIARS!

Oh I’m sorry, that noise? That was me shrieking with the joy of a small child who’s just been told they’ve inherited a chocolate factory. “…wh-why?” you ask? PRETTY LITTLE LIARS IS BACK!!! The Halloween episode was torture, TORTURE! Watching the prequel only made my love/hate of this unbelievable show become even more embedded. The realization that “A” has been around long before Alison’s murder only breeds more options for the elusive “A”s identity and opens up the door to

Courtney looks back on her Favorites from 2011

Courtney K is taking a look back on her favorites from 2011 – how do these stack up to yours? Favorite new obsession: DOCTOR WHO – where HAVE I been?? In a world with faded colors that’s where. Becoming a Doctor Who fan (or Whovian) has brought me a whole mess of new appreciations. Much like fans of Army of Darkness or Firefly, there’s hidden jokes in almost everything I watch or read that all point back to one Doctor

Must Watch: A dark and twisty GREY’S ANATOMY

I know, I know. Grey’s is sooo passé; but I have been fortunate enough to become a fan when GA went to syndication, so it’s only been a year or so of dramas for me, rather than the full 5+ year gamut. That long, drawn out torturous trip that the majority of the die-hards have gone through, I have been on the fast track for it. This episode centers on perspective; posing the question, “What really is a bad day?”

CourtneyK takes on the inaugural ComiKaze Expo

Over the weekend I was privileged enough to attend the first annual Comikaze Expo in L.A. While L.A. and I don’t normally get along, I managed to maneuver myself around and successfully plunk myself into the convention center, obtain my wristband and start exploring the floor! Being that this was the first Comikaze Expo, there were good parts and learning parts. I was surprised to find that the whole of the convention was one floor. One. Meaning the panels were

Fairy Tale Smackdown – Who wins: ONCE UPON A TIME or GRIMM?

When I went to San Diego Comic Con 2011 (FTW!!) this year, I was inundated with posters and cos-players and flashing lights (OH MY!); nestled in with all the every-stuff were blasts about a show. Well, I thought it was ONE show; turns out, it was TWO!!  After seeing poster after poster, and talking about what others had seen I was able to make the distinction; NBC and ABC had the same show concept advertised….ruh roh!! This could get ugly,

CourtneyK watched AMERICAN HORROR STORY and lived to tell the tale!

Has there ever been a certain house on your block that causes you to walk just a little faster to pass it? The sense of foreboding wafting off the porch, the feeling that the windows are actually looking at you and the house has teeth and the call is coming from inside the house??!?!?!  *ahem* Sorry, I was hearing the ominous screech of violins which always indicates “BE TERRIFIED IMMEDIATELY”. Frankly, every time a promotion for the newest FX show

Catastrophies and Drama? CourtneyK is sticking with GREY’S ANATOMY

Is there still a major frothing at the mouth fanbase for this show? I’m going to assume that there is, event though the last time GREY’S won an Emmy was…let’s just say awhile. I’ve become a late frother; watching GREY’S in syndication and online has captured me, so I’ve been really eager for the Season 8 premiere which, thankfully, is going to be a 2 hour event! This completely unrealistic look at the inner workings of a major hospital in

CourtneyK thinks UNFORGETTABLE is worth remembering

(Amrie Note: Yes, I realize that’s a cheesy title, but I couldn’t help myself….) Confession time: about 1/3 of the way through the viewing of this new CBS drama, I found myself wondering “Wait…what’s the name of this again??  Don’t be fooled, I actually liked UNFORGETTABLE, premiering Tuesday 9/20 at 10/9c on CBS; but for some reason I couldn’t recall the name! Blame watching too many screeners. We first meet striking redhead Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) in a Queens, NY
