Hey, it’s 2009. My last three attempts to resurrect MLTV turned out to be pretty sad, but you might say that this time I’m resolved to make this recently renewed URL viable once again. If anything, it’s just time to push that pesky photo of Lauren Conrad off the front page.
So the fall season ended […]

I forgot how royally screwed the Malloys were at the end of the first season of FX’s The Riches. It really only left them with two ways to go for this new batch: jump forward to better days and fill in the convenient resolutions to their many dramas with flashbacks or just have them dig […]

14 episodes can stretch out over a loooong period of time. Bravo, for example, can take a half hour of security footage from a designer pet supplies store, dilute it with reruns, reunion specials and third party commentary and get almost a year’s worth of TV. Other networks may not have their skill […]

Nip/Tuck has never been of any interest to me. Like a lot of stuff on FX, it’s scandalous just for the sake of being scandalous, and it’s probably one of the first examples you’d cite when discussing gratuitous nudity and sex. The characters are reprehensible and the surgery scenes make me sick to […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I was probably drinking (heavily) when I first reviewed Damages. There’s no other way to explain why I didn’t fawn. After a long summer/fall run, it ended up being one of the most well-crafted shows on TV these past few months. It was certainly the most suspenseful. […]

Tonight’s double season opener of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia begins with the greatest episode title you’re likely to find of any show this season: “The Gang finds a Dumpster Baby”. If you’re not familiar with Sunny, you should be made aware that this won’t be a metaphor dumpster baby, so consider yourself warned. […]

I’d like to take a moment to get personal. Since its launch at the beginning of the year, comedic coverage here at Mikey Likes TV has been limited almost exclusively to How I Met Your Mother and a handful of exceptional premium cable series. And while I do adore Neil Patrick Harris’ implementation […]

Something happened in Glenn Close’s life - something frustrating or tragic that pushed her to carve out a career by playing bunny-boilers, puppy-skinners and ball-busters. Of course there have been some light-hearted roles along the way, but she has always been most memorable when her lips are curled and she’s unsuccessfully trying to restrain […]

Despite the opening credits that resemble a PowerPoint presentation on how to utilize Lisa Frank stickers in scrapbooking, The Riches is the first FX drama to actually spark my interest. I’ve made attempts at others, but regardless of buzz or gratuitous nudity, the only previous success they’ve has had with me has been with their […]
