PERSON OF INTEREST – is a combo of Ben Linus and Jesus enough to keep me tuning in?

Tonight on CBS, in the former home of CSI, new show PERSON OF INTEREST, a JJ Abrams-created drama starring Michael Emerson, Taraji P Henson (pictured, on purpose), and Jim Caviezel, settles in on a busy Thursday schedule. The show, about a creepy man named Finch (played, naturally, by Michael Emerson) who has a machine or device that can pull up the social security number, or some other identifying information, about people who will be involved in a crime or something

Tuesday Must Watch: FOX premiere night – GLEE, NEW GIRL, RAISING HOPE

I know where I’ll be tonight – sitting down to watch the premieres of A) my favorite comedy, B) my favorite NEW comedy, and C) a show that I won’t give up on no matter how many ways they try to make me…. Tonight at 8/7c on FOX, Season 3 of GLEE kicks off with an episode designed to put the focus back on the regulars, you know, the focus that we’ve lost since the first 13 episodes of Season

Thursday Must Watch: IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY… and ARCHER on FX

There’s something comforting about tonight’s premieres of IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA and (on for a special three week release) ARCHER.  It’s like being back among friends that you’ve missed for way too long. IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA gets away with so very much and I love the show for that and a million other reasons. In tonight’s season 7 premiere, Frank’s love for a hooker named Roxy finds the gang trying to “Pretty Woman” her into Julia Roberts

My Take On…UP ALL NIGHT

How does the combination of Will Arnett (easily one of my favorites), Christina Applegate (SAMANTHA WHO? was underrated), and Maya Rudolph manage to bum me out?  It seems impossible.   And yet….there’s UP ALL NIGHT. The pilot of the show follows Reagan and Chris Brinkley, new parents to the adorable Amy, as they prepare for Reagan’s re-entry into the working world. Two versions of the pilot made their way around the critic blogosphere and if I was on the fence about

My Take On….FREE AGENTS

Sometimes, when I’m watching a show – a new show, a returning show, a special episode that everyone watches of something they normally wouldn’t, I feel like I’ve been given the “B-side.”   On that B-side, I’m always given a different version of the show – people love 2 BROKE GIRLS; I don’t (that’s a story for another day).  Everyone raved about HUGE; I hated it.  I’m always watching something a little different.  That happened again for me with FREE AGENTS

My Take On….RINGER

Tonight on The CW, after the 4th season premiere of 90210, Sarah Michelle Gellar returns to TV in RINGER, the show that follows the story of twin sisters Bridget and Siobhan and what happens after the fateful day of their reunion 6 years in the making. For all intents and purposes, RINGER should be my number 1 show to look forward to.  Buffy is back on TV, y’all, and she’s kicking ass, and playing two roles, and is really, really

My Take On…the SONS OF ANARCHY S4 Premiere

(The following review will cover mild spoilers from the premiere; don’t read if you want to stay completely unaware until you watch.) A lot has changed in Charming since the SONS OF ANARCHY premiere three years ago. The SONS have gone to Hell and back, Ireland and back, and in the season 4 premiere, Rockford prison and back. Having spent the better part of two years in federal prison after a deal they struck in the S3 finale, the boys

What I’m Watching – Monday, 7-11-11

Is everyone going to get their free Slurpees at the Sev (7-11) today?  As it turns out, for a summer Monday, there are a lot of premieres tonight and I’m watching them all! At 8 – EUREKA is back with the mid-season premiere (Season 4.5 for those keeping track).  In tonight’s all new episode, a rescue mission puts some relationships to the test.  The mid-season finale last year left Zane wondering why Jo was holding onto his grandmother’s ring, and

My Take On…NECESSARY ROUGHNESS on USA

Full disclosure? Callie Thorne and I have had a long-standing contentious relationship that I’m pretty sure she knows nothing about.  I’m a from-the-beginning viewer of RESCUE ME, and Sheila Keefe has long been a, no pun intended, thorn in my side.  So, you can imagine my preparation, going in to tonight’s premiere of NECESSARY ROUGHNESS (10/9c on USA), to fully dislike Callie Thorne’s Dr Dani, the Long Island psychotherapist, who decides to take on a hot-headed celebrity as a client,
