It feels like forever since we’ve been able to spend time with our favorite detectives and fake detectives in Santa Barbara. When we last left PSYCH, almost a year ago, the fate of series regular Corbin Bernsen’s character Henry (Shawn’s dad for you newbies) was very much left in the air, after being on the wrong side of a shooting gun! When the show returns tonight with the stellar premiere, a send up of LETHAL WEAPON called “Santa Barbaratown 2,”
Keri Russell has long been a favorite of mine, from her days spent on THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB and MALIBU SHORES (worth nothing to mention her long relationship with another favorite, Tony Lucca). I followed her to FELICITY (one of my favorite shows of all time) loved her in WAITRESS (her movie with Nathan Fillion), and sat through every episode of RUNNING WILDE. In short, I would do anything for Keri Russell, and that includes, it would appear, rooting for
Tonight on FOX, Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy star in Kevin Williamson’s latest drama THE FOLLOWING, at 9/8c. Purefoy plays serial killer Joe Carroll, a charismatic Lit professor with a fixation on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Joe was convicted of killing women in increasingly violent ways, always being sure to cut out their eyes, “the windows to their souls,” in the process. The man responsible for finally stopping Carroll was FBI Agent Ryan Hardy (Bacon), now a former
Tonight on FX at 10:30/9:30c, after the premiere of ARCHER, Australian comic Jim Jefferies introduces himself to TV screens on this side of the world with his new comedy LEGIT. Jefferies stars as a fictional version of himself, a “drunk idiot” who decides that at this point in his life, he has to turn his life and job into something more legitimate. But he’s not going to do it alone. Rounding out the cast are Jim’s best friend Steve (Dan
Thinking of all the possible “top 10s” I could write – best comedy, best show, best animated show, best voiceover, favorite show of all time – ARCHER would be on all of them, prominently displayed and written about profusely. The show about a super vain spy named Sterling Archer who works for his mother, with his ex, and among a crowd of crazies crazier than people have any right to be is fast and smart; hilarious and beautifully animated; dark
I was never a fan of SEX AND THE CITY. That’s not to say that I didn’t watch an episode here and there, but really, the show served as something to frustrate me at awards shows (much like GIRLS does now…but I digress). So I wasn’t too interested in watching the newest CW offering, THE CARRIE DIARIES, which premieres tonight at 8/7c. The show (based on Candace Bushnell’s prequel books) follows 1984-Carrie-Bradshaw, before she was the girl getting soaked by
In tonight’s all new must-watch episode of ELEMENTARY on CBS (10/9c), after a string of murders, murders that are eerily similar to 37 other murders he investigated in London, happen in New York, Sherlock goes a bit off the rails as he tries to track down the man responsible before anyone else is able to. Vinnie Jones is the evil man in question, and just when you think the episode is going to zig, it zags quite nicely. The episode
I know; it feels like forever since we’ve hung out with the Cul-de-Sac Crew. The show that tried for years to find footing on a network that continually deemed them unworthy of too much promotion has moved on to bigger and better things! Tonight at 10/9c, COUGAR TOWN is back and as funny as ever – but don’t set your dial to ABC. It’s airing on TBS, and if the constant stream of promotion is any indication, CT has found
Tonight on NBC, the first of their two new midseason dramas premieres. DECEPTION (10/9c) tells the story of a wealthy NY family, the Bowers, who are dealt a blow when the oldest daughter, Vivian, is found dead of an apparent overdose. The seemingly-reformed party-girl’s death brings her old best friend Joanna Locasto (once the daughter of the Bowers’ old made, now an SFPD cop) back to the manor to investigate exactly what happened. When she gets back to town, she
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 love, as all of the past BACHELORs have, and as with every season, I reluctantly find myself invested in his journey. And what of his
