Tina’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: Suits’ Gabriel Macht
I don’t mind letting you guys know I’m missing USA Network’s Suits terribly. We still have something like six months to go and I’m not doing well without it. This first-season series quickly became my summer TV obsession. The writing is crackling good — it’s one of those shows where…
Kara’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: Awkward’s Molly Tarlov
I knew I was going to make either Ashley Rickards or Molly Tarlov one of my 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars. I love them both so much, for very different reasons. I feel like Ashley’s Jenna Hamilton embodies the awkward high school experience perfectly and I often felt myself sympathizing with…
Heather’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: Once Upon a Time’s Robert Carlyle
I’m nothing if not intensely loyal when it comes to my Scots roots, so it should be no surprise that I seriously love Robert Carlyle. He came onto my radar as the super scary and unhinged Begbie in Trainspotting and then turned that performance on its ear with The Full…
Tina’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: Supernatural’s Misha Collins
When coming up with a list of all-stars this year, I had to include Misha Collins from Supernatural for several reasons. One of my favorite Supernatural episodes of 2011 was “The Man Who Would Be King.†It finally explained what in the heavens was going on with Cas all season…
Tina’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: The Vampire Diaries’ Paul Wesley
Kevin Williamson, Julie Plec and the rest of the TVD producing and writing staff are really good at breathing new life into existing characters. Caroline and Tyler are merely two examples of this. At one time they looked like expendable characters. Once they were turned into a vampire and a…
Kara’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: Happy Endings’ Casey Wilson
She. Is. Amahzing. Casey Wilson‘s Penny Hartz is my favorite character on Happy Endings, and yes, I’ve been watching the show since the very beginning. While there were some growing pains during season one, I came to love (and appreciate) this great cast of characters. But there’s something about Penny that touches my heart and…
Tina’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: NCIS’ Michael Weatherly
It’s no secret I totally dig Michael Weatherly and his NCIS character, the Very Special Agent Anthony Dinozzo. But this year, I do have my reasons to call him an all-star. Three of them to be exact.
Kara’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: The Chicago Code’s Delroy Lindo
I guess part of me is still mourning the cancellation of The Chicago Code. I thought it had all the ingredients to become a hit show. The cast, story, location, as well as the pedigree of the writers and producers made me think it would work. Maybe audiences thought this…
Tina’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: Castle’s Stana Katic
Full disclosure: I started watching Castle for Nathan Fillion. That’s it. However, I quickly learned the entire cast was incredible. So you could say while I started watching for Nathan, I stayed for Stana Katic, Jon Huertas, Seamus Dever, Tamala Jones and the rest of the Castle cast. I want…
Kara’s 2011 TV Goodness All-Stars: Nurse Jackie’s Merritt Wever
Merritt Wever‘s performance alone makes me enjoy every episode of Nurse Jackie. Although I love Edie Falco, even she has said she’s not funny. And while a certain situation or facial expression of Jackie’s occasionally brings the house down, I rely upon the spectacular supporting cast to bring the laughs. Merritt…

3 Moments of Goodness from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Johnny and Dora”
