In the year 2013, Katherine is a part of the inner circle of housewives. Gabby is fat, has two fat children, and her skin does not seem to be faring well from the years and years of excessive makeup. Bree is some sort of Martha Stewart-esque celebrity with a fondness for dressing like a Victorian […]

My silence may be eerie, but I’m sneakily still very much liking TV. In fact, I just got in from the Fox upfront party. It’s been an exhausting and kind of uneventful week, but what better excuse to touch base than the TV equivalent of prom?
So this year marked my first in-person upfront experience, and […]

I can’t think of anything better to pull me out of a blog-coma than Judy Greer’s TV train finally coming in. Judy’s been the sidekick in countless films - some nightmarish (13 Going on 30) and some fantastic (Jawbreaker). She’s even had supporting roles on varyingly successful shows like Love Monkey and Arrested Development, […]

Trying to review an episode with Lost without divulging anything that some might see as spoiler-ish is difficult - so difficult that I didn’t attempt it last week. But now we’ve all had the chance to mull over “The Beginning of the End,” and anything is fair game, it’s time to acknowledge how thoroughly […]

If you were to cast Johnny Lee Miller in a new television series, wouldn’t you want to take advantage of his British accent and rakish good looks? I suppose you can’t if that series is about a straitlaced San Francisco lawyer, but it doesn’t hurt to daydream about the Miller of Trainspotting and Hackers […]

If ever there was an opportunity for a very special ABC crossover of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Desperate Housewives, this has to be it. But as much as I’m sure Edie Britt and Ty Pennington would probably hit it off, that is thankfully not the case. The above photograph is just the […]

My crash course in Lost last summer probably makes my perspective on the show a unique one. While most of you toiled and questioned the show’s numerous “wtf?”s for over three years, I watched all 70 episodes in a third as many days. Lost currently ranks high on my list of favorites. […]

Pushing Daisies… oh, Pushing Daisies. I can honestly say that I was never more excited about a new show in my life. All summer long I watched and rewatched the pilot, went to public screenings and Q&As and never once thought that the rest of the series wouldn’t live up to my […]

The facts were these: Pushing Daisies was my favorite pilot of the new season. It was hyped to the point of near-saturation, but it never got annoying. When new episodes of the series finally aired, they did the impossible and maintained the high standards set by the debut. Most shocking of all was the fact […]

I’m don’t know when my love for Desperate Housewives became such a cross to bear. Few instances come to mind where a TV backlash was so immediate, lingering and fairly unwarranted. It would make sense if the first season had set a precedent of something other than soapy antics and an almost pandering […]
