Sara Rue and Barry Watson talk MY FUTURE BOYFRIEND

April 10, 2011 Amrie

Tonight on ABC Family, fall in love with the adorable made-for-TV movie MY FUTURE BOYFRIEND. Sara Rue stars as Elizabeth Barrett, a writer whose first book has just been published. When an archeological dig in the year 3127 reveals a copy of Elizabeth’s first novel, explorer P-A-X-497/341 (Pax, played by the ever-charming Barry Watson) decides to head back to 2011 to understand the concept of love: a concept that no longer exists in his perfect utopian future. He meets Elizabeth

My Take On…BREAKING IN with Christian Slater

April 6, 2011 Amrie

Tonight on FOX, stick around after watching poor Jeff Beck strumming along to the contestants on AMERICAN IDOL (or, if you’re like me, turn to FOX after AMERICAN IDOL is over) for a fun half hour look into the imaginary world of Contra Security. Bret Harrison (THE LOOP, REAPER) stars as perennial college student Cameron, hacking his way through life, staying in college as long as his computer skills will let him. When Cameron is blackmailed into joining Oz’s (Christian

My Take On…UNITED STATES OF TARA Season 3

March 28, 2011 Amrie

You can’t talk about Showtime Monday nights, and Edie Falco’s never-changing JACKIE, without mentioning the always changing, always different Tara on UNITED STATES OF TARA. The show enters its third season tonight (10:30/9:30c), and Tara’s having an even rougher go of it than before. When we left our girl, the alters were calmed down, she was trying to have a normal life; Max was being the best husband ever (aside from, you know the Joey Lauren Adams of it all);

My Take On…NURSE JACKIE Season 3

March 28, 2011 Amrie

NURSE JACKIE season 3 starts tonight at 10/9c on Showtime, and for the first time in their now three year life-span, I’m completely smitten with the show. Other reviewers have made claim that the show fails to progress beyond the idea that Jackie is a drug addict who is constantly on the verge of being found out; I definitely agree that the writers don’t seem to allow Jackie any room to grow, but I forgive them that small issue because

Friday Must Watch: SUPERNATURAL…guest starring on SUPERNATURAL?

February 25, 2011 Amrie

If there’s one thing you do tonight, make sure you check in with the Winchester boys as a surprise visit from an old foe lands them in an alternate universe, where they’re no longer hunters. They’re just actors, named Jared and Jensen, the wealthy stars of a TV show called SUPERNATURAL. What follows is a really fun episode that pokes fun at the show, at the actors, at the creator, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. SUPERNATURAL, to me, is

Monday Must Watch: THE CHICAGO CODE on FOX

February 7, 2011 Amrie

Until recently, I wasn’t a fan of the police procedural – case of the week, bad guy, arrest him 40 minutes in, he almost goes free 50 minutes in, and by the end of the hour, the case if wrapped, and the detectives have another notch on their belt. With shows like SOUTHLAND, BLUE BLOODS, and DETROIT 1-8-7 as some of the go to shows on my DVR in the past few weeks, I wasn’t sure I could make room

Thursday Must Watch: ARCHER on FX

January 27, 2011 Amrie

If there’s one show that consistently hits me right in the funny bone, it’s ARCHER on FX. Tonight’s season 2 premiere (and the first 7 episodes of the season, for that matter) is no different as Mallory struggles to find a way to keep ISIS afloat amid money problems, and Archer tries to convince his friends and coworkers that he’s not trying to have sex with a 17 year old German girl. It’s as offensive and crass as you would

My Take On….BOB’S BURGERS on FOX

January 9, 2011 Amrie

Animation Domination is all new on FOX tonight with brand new episodes of THE SIMPSONS, FAMILY GUY, and AMERICAN DAD! Also brand new tonight, at 8:30/7:30c, is the series premiere of BOB’S BURGERS, a new half hour animated comedy from creator Loren Bouchard (whose credits include DR KATZ, PROFESSIONAL THERAPIST). From FOX: BOB’S BURGERS is a new animated series about a man, his family and a burger joint. A second-generation restaurateur, BOB (H. Jon Benjamin) is a dreamer with big

Monday Must Watch: PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, GREEK, CASTLE

January 3, 2011 Amrie

Here’s how I’m spending my time tonight – what about you? Tonight at 8/7c: Tonight on ABC Family, the midseason premiere of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS, called, appropriately, “Moments Later”, kicks off immediately following the strange and scary excitement from Camp Mona. Hanna’s been hit by a car and before she can tell the others who she thinks “A” is, she’s carted off to the hospital. Toby’s in jail, Em’s dad is home, and Ashley Marin’s up to no good with

THE BACHELOR is back!

January 3, 2011 Amrie

Admittedly, I watch THE BACHELOR on a somewhat “when there is nothing else on” kind of schedule. For the first few seasons, I knew all of the Bachelors, and every single one of their paramours, and picked my favorites (dammit, Aaron, Gwen was THE ONE), but I’ve fallen out of moderate like with the series over the years. This season, for the first time, a former BACHELOR returns to try again, and after viewing the season premiere (which airs tonight
