I’ve made no secret about the fact that I checked out on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER years ago. I did watch last year’s finale just to see if what we had all decided was going to happen with Barney and Robin getting married was actually going to happen. But after that, I had no interest in revisiting the show. Cut to this year, when season premiere screeners were floating about – I decided, why not? Let’s check it out.
A lot of fuss has been made these last few years about Syfy’s great scripted shows, like WAREHOUSE 13, ALPHAS, and EUREKA (before its untimely demise), but little gets said about one of my favorite reasons to turn the network on Friday nights: the criminally under-discovered gem HAVEN. HAVEN stars Emily Rose as Audrey Parker (or Lucy Ripley, or Sarah before that), an FBI agent turned local police detective in the crazy and dangerous town of Haven, ME. When we
I know I’ve said it a million times, but I often feel like I’m watching a different episode of shows than others are watching because I tend to dislike whatever it is they rave about. Take, for example, the 4th season premiere of GLEE, a show I once loved and couldn’t wait to watch, but which now falls to the “if I get around to it” pile of back logged TV. Review, after review, after review of the show is
When we last left Charming at the end of SONS OF ANARCHY Season 4, there was a new President at the head of the table, with a new “First Lady” by his side. Thanks to the demands of the Russian gun runners, Clay was kept alive; a lucky twist of fate from MACHETE’s Danny Trejo kept the Sons out of too much trouble with the FBI; and Juice, poor Juice, was left in jail, recovering from a failed suicide attempt

Tonight, after another night of Olympic celebration (fingers crossed for Misty and Kerry), NBC hopes you’ll stick around for a commercial-free preview of their newest show GO ON (airing at 11ish/10ish Central). The show stars Matthew Perry as radio sportscaster Ryan King who is back at work after the tragic death of his wife. When his first day back doesn’t go as planned, his boss Steven (John Cho) requires him to attend a support group for “life change.” The group
Tonight on TNT, at 9/8c, the Ewings, with all their family and oil business drama, are coming back to our TV screens after many years away! They may have gotten older, but that is about all that’s changed, as Bobby and JR, their sons, Sue Ellen, and South Fork are back and dealing with some of the same old issues. What surprised me most about tonight’s premiere is how much like old-DALLAS this show is. One of the better send
It was almost 12 years ago that I (we all?) fell in love with a little town called Stars Hollow in GILMORE GIRLS. The small town with its quirky characters was appointment viewing for about 130 hours of my life (I like to pretend Season 7 didn’t really happen). Since then, few shows have been able to capture the “small town with eccentricities and heart” vibe that creator Amy Sherman-Palladino infused into GG. Thankfully, she’s back with an all new
Tune in to TNT tonight for all new episodes of RIZZOLI & ISLES and FRANKLIN & BASH! When we last left RIZZOLI & ISLES, the women were at odds over the fact that Jane had just shot Maura’s bio-dad Patty, after he had shot Jane’s boyfriend Dean, but before Patty could shoot Jane (still with me?). Maura was not too happy that her undercover operation hadn’t gone quite to plan, and that her best friend had shot her mob boss
I was asked recently what it was about Gordon Ramsay’s MASTER CHEF that kept me tuning in, versus, say his KITCHEN NIGHTMARES or HELL’S KITCHEN that don’t. What it boils down to for me is that this a likeable Gordon who, at times, may be rude about flavors or pushy about technique, but who uses his expertise in a supportive (read: not expletive laden) way to find the best home cook in America. With his partners in crime, Graham Elliot,
