TV Goodness All-Star 2010: Cat Deeley, So You Think You Can Dance
I watch a lot of TV. There are shows I’m fanatical about and personalities I all but worship. My bonus pick is Cat Deeley. I thought I was done, but a friend reminded me that Cat deserves to be an All-Star. I think my problem is that if the show…
TV Goodness All-Star 2010: Jensen Ackles, Supernatural
Contemplating my All-Stars for 2010, one of my first thoughts was Jensen Ackles of Supernatural. Say what you want about Season 5, and I’m aware of the mixed reviews for the ending of the season, Ackles’ performances were rock solid. I’ve enjoyed him in other roles but as Dean Winchester,…
TV Goodness All-Star 2010: Matt Smith, Doctor Who
I have to admit that I’m very new to the Doctor Who universe. I started watching with the 9th Doctor, played by Christopher Eccelston, and then the 10th Doctor, David Tennant. I truly enjoyed Tennant’s performance as the Doctor, but as we all know, he left the show. I wasn’t…
TV Goodness All-Stars 2010: Matthew Fox & Terry O’Quinn, Lost
Count me in with the group of people who love, love, love Lost and feel satisfied by the finale. Part of what made “The End” for me was the showdown between Jack Shephard (played to perfection by Matthew Fox) and John Locke (the inimitable Terry O’Quinn). The battle royale that…
TV Goodness All-Stars 2010: Danny Pudi & Donald Glover, Community
NBC’s Community is an underrated, hilarious, silly, touching, well-acted series. It has a great cast; there’s no weak link in the bunch. The characters are strange, unique individuals but it’s when they’re together as a study group that magic happens. That probably sounds sappy, but it’s true. The show is…
TV Goodness All-Star 2010: Anna Torv, Fringe
I have had the pleasure of blogging this season of Fox’s Fringe, when the show took a bold, risky and creative turn by having alternating episodes in each universe (the Present and the Over There reality). In 2010, Anna Torv stood out with her nuanced performances of Olivia and Bolivia….
TV Goodness All-Star 2010: Beth Riesgraf, Leverage
This summer, I decided to check TNT’s Leverage out despite the show starting its third season. I’m so glad I did. I quickly realized the series was fun, entertaining and the cast chemistry was electric. The guys were hot, the cases were cool and it all made me wonder why…
TV Goodness All-Star 2010: Gail Simmons, Top Chef and Top Chef: Just Desserts
I watch a lot of TV. There are shows I’m fanatical about and personalities I all but worship. My final pick is Gail Simmons. Part of me finds it hard to believe that I’ve chosen a non-actor as an all-star. Not only did I never really get or appreciate the…
TV Goodness All-Star 2010: The Ensemble, Burn Notice
I watch a lot of TV. There are shows I’m fanatical about and actors I all but worship. My third pick is the entire ensemble from Burn Notice: Jeffrey Donovan (yes, he’s the lead but he’s also part of the ensemble), Bruce Campbell, Gabrielle Anwar, and Sharon Gless.
TV Goodness All-Star 2010: Candice Accola, The Vampire Diaries
This year, there were so many all-stars on the CW’s The Vampire Diaries, it was hard to pick just one. Michael Trevino stepped up big time in his transformation from troubled teen to reluctant werewolf; Nina Dobrev did an impressive job playing bad vamp Katherine and good girl Elena. Ian…

Thank Me Later: Will Trent
[Warning: spoilers ahead.] I’m on record as loving and losing shows over at ABC so I’m usually very reticent to pick something up on the network until it’s been renewed, and I seriously hope I’m not jinxing it, but I took a chance on the deeply odd and very sweet…

Longtime readers at TV Goodness will know that Motive is one of my ride-or-die series, and as such, I am fiercely loyal to its creator, Dennis Heaton. He followed up that fantastic reverse procedural with Netflix’s The Order and is back on our streaming screens with The Imperfects, which dropped…

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”

What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”
Two nights of Arrow + The Flash = what more could we ask for?! I don’t know what it is about blending these shows, but I can’t help but feel that every time they come together, they somehow become greater than the sum of their parts. And that’s saying a lot…
What they Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Graceland “Little Bo Bleep”
Shoot outs. Fake outs. And long-awaited revelations. “Little Bo Bleep” was a jam-packed episode that wrapped up some loose ends and totally frayed others. Â It finally gave us one Sarkissian in jail and pulled back the curtain on Briggs’ master plan, but it also set up Jakes for a world…

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…
