I fully admit that I love it when the Big Wigs decide to provide the viewers with sneak peak of an upcoming show.  Not only does it allow for the critic in me to get a jump start on my review so I don’t have to worry about whether or not I will be able to get all the reviews done in a timely manner.   But it also opens up an otherwise occupied hour.  Which as we all know is in short supply these days.   I also fully admit that I did not like Heroes.  In fact, I didn’t even like the pilot, the first season,...

I never had any intention of doing a write up on The Bridge.  First of all contrary to my most recent write ups I am not a huge fan of cop shows.  I have nothing against them per say, I just don’t find them to be all that entertaining.  Well no that’s not true.  I do have a sick tendency to watch CSI:NY, but I don’t cover the show and I don’t write about it.  Second of all when I had first heard about the new joint venture between CTV and CBS the only reason I wanted to check it out in the first...

I am what you would call a fair weather King fan.  I have read a number of his books and the ones I read I loved, except for The Stand but that is another story.  On the other hand the number of books he has written that I haven’t read could fill a library and this library would include The Colorado Kid which is what the new SyFy show, Haven, is based off of.  So needless to say, I went into the premiere a new born baby with no reservations or expectations. It’s a good thing that I did too because I have a feeling...

For some reason, try as I might, I can not get the picture of Jason Lee’s character Brodie yelling about how some kid was going to get hurt on running up and down the escalator.  Yeah I know that Mallrats came out in 1995, but for me that one scene told the world that Lee was here and wasn’t going anywhere.  Now 15 years later Lee is starring in his second series, the first being of course the quirky My Name is Earl, Memphis Beat which premiered recently on TNT.  A channel that is quickly becoming known as the...

Sometimes I get the feeling that summer is used by networks to dump shows they already made a commitment to but have no intention of seeing succeed.  For some reason the networks feel that people watch less television in the summer months than they do any other time.  That may be because we viewers have been Pavlovian trained to expect quality shows to begin in September.  Which of course as we all know is no longer a true statement what with shows such as Burn Notice, Mad Men, Flashpoint, and True Blood to name a few...

“On October 6, The planet blacked out for two minutes and seventeen seconds, The whole world saw the future. ” This two sentence long statement was first uttered on September 24, 2009 and now 8 months later FlashForward is ending it’s often confusing and at times engaging run. As much as I want to be mad at ABC for cancelling the series, after saying goodbye to Lost this past Sunday the most I can muster is an annoyed feeling. Because let’s face it as much as I have come to like the show since it came...

Well, that’s it folks! It’s finished, have you stopped crying yet? I get choked up just thinking of it again. It was still as wonderful as I had expected. Since we started this season with a video review for the season premiere, and in keeping with the theme of LOST coming full circle, we had to end the season and series with a video review. I would love to continue talking to everyone about your thoughts on The End. It’s been so great and such a pleasure talking about a show I truly love and obsess over. The...

It’s official Pilot season is over.  Well what we have come to know as Pilot season anyways.  With the way television works now new shows are being made year round, but that is another story.  Some believe that the new television season begins in September, but they would be wrong.  It actually begins in May when the networks go in front of advertisers and map out their new seasons.  As the years go on what is known as Upfronts have gotten bigger and more outlandish.  But the bottom line is that no one, not the...

How ironic is it that the next to the last episode of FlashForward should be titled “Countdown”? This past week we learned that FF had been cancelled and what a shame that has turned out to be. After an admittedly shaky start it has grown to be a solid, fun show that has interesting twists, turns, and characters. But as it would seem the BMOC over at ABC feel that V is a better show and more deserving of a second season. I wonder if any one at ABC is even watching that show? In my humble opinion it sucks something awful,...

This is just what television needs, another cop show.  Don’t we have enough cop shows on the air?  I mean really how many times can we see a bad guy arrested?  Apparently at least once more and well folks any cop show that uses The Fratelli’s within the first 2 minutes is a show I can get behind.  But seriously folks after 44 minutes of pornstashe, the only opinion I came away with was it’s good.  Not great.  Not bad.  Good.  Now I don’t mean you shouldn’t check it out yourself, you...

Wow! They really didn’t leave much room for questioning. Jacob finally dished the goods, more people died and Jack now has magical powers! It’s always been about Jack, and I loved that they announced a candidate now instead of making us wait until the very end. This show is starting to come full circle and make you feel all warm and gooey inside. The episode started with Jack stitching up Kate’s wound, which is coming full circle to the pilot episode in which Kate stitches up Jack after the crash. Locke tells...

I have sad news to report, although I am sure you probably know by now; FlashForward has been cancelled.  Oh it isn’t official, but you know how these things work.  Two weeks from tonight will be the last episode ever.  Unless of course they decide to do a 2 hour made for television movie that wraps everything up.  I can only hope that the creators and writers saw the writing on the wall months ago and were able to wrap things up.  To this day I haven’t forgiven Rob Thomas for the way he ended Veronica...

Spoiler Alert: Tonight answered a few questions, but made a few more as well. Things answered tonight: Why does MiB want to leave the island, is he really evil, how did he become the smoke monster, where did Jacob come from and what is his beef with MiB? I was sure that because we see the birth of Jacob and MiB as twins on the island, that we might get some explanation as to why women can’t have babies on the island, but no. So the first thing I want to jump into is this mother figure that raised Jacob and MiB; she...

I am pretty sure the universe didn’t want me to do a write up on last night’s episode. I could come up with a million reasons as to why I wasn’t able to do it sooner; computer issues, life in general, I thought my house was going to be hit by an asteroid….you know the normal excuses.  But the truth is nothing about last night’s episode stood out for me and when that happens my mind goes in to mental lock down.  I thought about waiting until I could come up with a normal write up, but it...

Spoiler Alert: How can this be?! People are dying and it’s starting to sink in that this show is coming to an end. I don’t like it, not one bit. However, I loved this episode, I was totally crying, I’ll admit it. In the alt world, we have Locke coming out of surgery with Jack as his doctor and Jack is trying to persuade Locke to do an elective surgery that may make him walk again. Locke doesn’t want the surgery though, he wants to punish himself for what he did to his Dad. I knew that the reason for him...
