House “Now What”
Three people enter unchartered territory tonight: House, Cuddy, and 13. I actually like it when this show focuses more on relationships and less on the medical mystery of the week. Even though I often love going along for the ride as House and his team try to figure out what’s...
The Event “I Haven’t Told You Everything”
I saw this two weeks ago at the Paley Center’s Fall TV Preview event and I loved it up until the last minute or so. Yeah, when “the event” happened. I had no trouble with the time shifts – they all made sense to me – and I thought it...
Is This the End of Spartacus: Blood and Sand?
Andy Whitfield’s cancer has recurred and he’s had to drop out of the second season of the series. Starz isn’t sure if they’ll continue without Whitfield. The original occurrence of his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma forced Starz to alter the original schedule and film a prequel to bridge the two seasons. The...
Boardwalk Empire “Pilotâ€
I am fascinated by the history of prohibition. It’s not hard for me to imagine a time in our history when people thought getting rid of alcohol would solve all our problems. I said I can imagine it but I don’t know what they were thinking. I’d call Congress naïve...
Mad Men “The Beautiful Girlsâ€
I am surprised by the Joan and Roger development. Not displeased, just surprised. With Joan’s husband off to basic and soon to go to war in Vietnam, our Joanie is out of sorts. She’s snappish and short at the office and Roger’s “playfulness†is not appreciated. Seeing that Joan can...
Death by Chocolate: Examining the Top Chef Just Desserts
Now that I have my notes, I thought it might be fun to take a more in-depth look at what the cheftestants presented as their luxurious chocolate desserts for this week’s elimination challenge. Morgan: Chocolate Fried Pie w/Milk Chocolate Bourbon Flan Just what is flan? It’s similar to a quiche...
Glee Season 2 Preview
We love Glee and we love tvguide.com. Check out their exclusive clip from the Season Two premiere and check back here after 8 pm ET/PT on Monday, September 21, 2010 for our thoughts.
Top Chef Just Desserts “Mr. Chocolateâ€
I’m happy to watch this show in any iteration they want to give it to me: the original, “Masters”, and now “Just Desserts.” I will admit to giving up on the Washington DC edition of Top Chef after Kenny was booted. And it’s not that I think he would win...
America’s Next Top Model “Diane von Furstenbergâ€
Last week I was impressed that this cycle’s winner will appear in Italian Vogue. This week I’m more than impressed that Diane von Furstenberg is a judge. Are you kidding me? Even I know that she’s a living legend in the fashion world, and I don’t claim to know that...
Gossip Girl “Belles de Jourâ€
What I love about this show is also what I ultimately dislike about it. I’ve always been an intermittent GG watcher. I get all excited for the premiere because I love teen angst; it’s probably my favorite genre. I love high school shows but when they “graduate†there is often a...

Let’s Talk About Will Trent
[Spoilers for “The Blank Expanse of Nothing”] It’s been a minute since I’ve had a good, old-fashioned rant about a TV series, so I’m overdue. If you’ve followed me on IG the last few years (hi!), you know that I yell often and loud about my love for Will Trent....
Tim Rozon Looks Back on SurrealEstate
[Warning: All the spoilers ahead.] To close out our SurrealEstate coverage (for now), I chatted with Tim Rozon about Season 3 and getting the band back together. For the third season, production moved from Newfoundland to Ottawa, and Rozon was ready to dive back in. “We were in a...
George R. Olson Unpacks SurrealEstate Season 3
[Warning: ALL the spoilers ahead.] In case you missed the news last week, SurrealEstate has concluded with its third season, which aired last summer. On Friday, I spoke with series creator George R. Olson and series star Tim Rozon about saying goodbye to the show. You can read that piece...
George R. Olson and Tim Rozon Share Their Gratitude for SurrealEstate’s Run
Since SurrealEstate wrapped its third season six months ago, I’ve checked about once a week to see whether there was any news on cancelled or renewed. As long as there was no decision, there was still hope for a fourth season. This week, series creator George R. Olson let the...
Hulu’s Paradise S1 Weaves Past and Present to Unravel a Murder
One of the nice things about the symbiosis of the entertainment conglomerates is that sometimes streaming shows make their way over to linear outlets. Case in point: ABC has given Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building a primetime slot (after of course tweaking the language for FCC regs) during its...
Scott McCord Talks About Victor’s Expanding World in From Season 3
Closing out our From Season 3 coverage (which you can find here), in the second part of my conversation with Scott McCord, we talk about Victor’s new friendship with Sara, reconnecting with Tabitha, and what might be next for Victor when Season 4 returns in 2026. As we’ve talked about...
Dennis Heaton Talks Murder in a Small Town
Murder in a Small Town wraps its first season Tuesday night on FOX in the US and Wednesday night on Global TV in Canada. For US viewers, it’s been a neat addition to the usual FOX fare to have a slower-paced, small-town murder mystery with a parade of CdnTV peeps...
Harold Perrineau Talks From Season 3
[Warning: Includes spoilers for the Season 3 finale.] How are you doing, FROMily? That finale was A LOT. Thankfully we know we’re going to get more of this story, and you have a year and change to work on your Venn diagram deciphering the OMG WTFery of it all. Last...
Scott McCord Talks From Season 3
From the jump (pun intended), I’ve been a staunch advocate of Victor (and Scott McCord, who plays him), and this season, he’s been put through it. On the heels of sending Tabitha off into the unknown and having her return with his father, he unearths the long-suppressed memory that as...
Corteon Moore Talks From Season 3
From has always been really good about delighting us with mix-and-match character pairings, and this season, we’ve seen Jade and Tabitha, Sara and Victor, Henry and Victor, and Kenny and Acosta team up. As Ellis, Corteon Moore has spent a chunk of time this season paired up with Pegah Ghafoori...
What They Said: Three Revealing Conversations from Survivor’s Remorse “Closure”
WARNING: Spoilers for Survivor’s Remorse “Closure” The latest episode of Starz’s Survivor’s Remorse featured conversations that showed characters really digging deep into their thoughts, emotions and motivations.
Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”
Who can you trust? If this episode of The Catch was any indication, the answer is just about nobody. Betrayal was running rampant as Felicity (Shivani Ghai) arose from the dead to seduce-con Margot, Gretchen (Maria Thayer, Gotham, The Mindy Project) played gold-hearted Alice 2.0 before swindling Ethan, Tessa jumped...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supergirl “Worlds Finest”
Oh, Supergirl. That ending was cold. But I can’t hate on you because the latest episode has quickly become one of my favorites.
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
Supernatural episodes are almost always funny but thanks to the dialogue and a certain man speaking said dialogue, I laughed a lot during “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” You know, when I wasn’t busy fearing for Sam’s life or wondering what in the world was going on with Dean and...
3 Moments of Goodness from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Johnny and Dora”
The most satisfying part of this season’s finale has to the Jake and Amy kiss. Well, they kiss three times but the last one is the best one — and it means something. The Charles and Rosa dynamic was also great. I love how she’s convinced he doesn’t know anything...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supernatural “Angel Heart”
Okay, that was my favorite of all the Claire episodes. In the beginning I think this arc was a bit shaky, to be honest. But I think it ended strong and that’s thanks to the chemistry between the actors as well as the strength of the writing, courtesy of Robbie...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from New Girl “Landline”
Jess has a ladyboner for a new teacher, with a pretty inappropriate last name. I approve. Coach, ever the player, gets in trouble at school for dating (I’m using the term euphemistically here) two school employees at the same time. And Nick imagines himself a sort of secretary when they...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from The Vampire Diaries “I’ll Remember”
Season 5 Episode 1: “I’ll Remember” Writer: Caroline Dries This is odd. It’s an episode of The Vampire Diaries and there’s only one favorite quote from Damon. Of course, he was only in one scene. There are a few Hallucination!Damon quotes included though. What were some of your favorite quotes...
What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Undercover”
Before we get to my favorite quotes from the episode – and there are kind of a lot, so prepare yourself, let’s take a quick look at what when down in this season 2 premiere. Jake’s back from his undercover assignment and apparently he didn’t miss that much while he...
Diamond Dan, The Mindy Project “We’re a Couple Now, Haters!”
The Mindy Project is back (yay!) with an episode that featured a ton of character development. Before we get to all of that, let’s start with some thoughts on the season three premiere.
