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 […]

How I Met Your Mother’s return to the air wasn’t exactly a return to form. Last week’s episode had it’s moments, but it didn’t pack all the funny that over three months of downtime should have guaranteed. This lowered my already dismal expectations for this week’s Britney episode that would understandably include all of the […]

No, it isn’t photo fanfic time. I’m just taking a moment to update you less vigilant TV fans who may not be keeping up on all of the latest Friday Night Lights and How I Met Your Mother speculation, leads and updates. Some is good, some plain stinks and most just reminds me […]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… Few of this week’s post-strike news items were as exciting as CBS’s prompt order of nine more episodes of How I Met Your Mother that are slated to start airing as soon as March 17th. There hasn’t been a new episode of […]

I’m as easily swayed by quality sci-fi as the next socially awkward TV enthusiast, so when fans of Jericho rallied so vigorously after the show’s cancellation last year, I assumed it was probably something I could get behind myself. CBS miraculously resurrected the show, and I decided I would catch up before it returned. […]

Two years ago, the star of CBS’s Welcome to the Captain, Fran Kranz, appeared in a little seen (and hugely hilarious) film called The TV Set. In it he played an unknown actor who secured the starring role in a pilot that had all the makings of an excellent series. But through the […]

Ok, folks, next week is your last chance to catch the brilliant (in an totally autistic way) Kid Nation. The overwhelmingly ironic appreciation for the show seemed to die down a few weeks after it started, especially when CBS started gearing the show towards children, but I promise you that it’s just as rife […]

Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down. And How I Met Your Mother may falter, but it’s rarely anything short of legendary. This season is clearly not as consistently irreverent as the second. The pitfalls (and pratfalls) of standard sitcom puns and one-liners are proving to be quite the temptation for the folks […]

Viva Laughlin is just so damn good, CBS is giving you two chances to watch the first episode! That is a lie. Viva Laughlin is so aggressively horrible, CBS has no effing clue what to do with it. But seeing as how megastar (and odd musical enthusiast) Hugh Jackman has poured so […]

There just aren’t many shows on TV capable of making me laugh hysterically while simultaneously warming my cockles. Actually, there’s just one (all of my other comedies are too offensive to make me swoon). I’m speaking, of course, of How I Met Your Mother – the only show currently on CBS to not […]
