Friday is one of those nights that very often gets away from people. They go out and do things, their weekend starts and they’re just not going to sit in front of the toob for anything too heavy. A lot of shows over the years have either started in a Friday slot and miraculously survived [...]
New Season: ABC’s Private Practice
September 27, 2007 By Leave a Comment
From the makers of Grey’s Anatomy comes… a show that feels exactly like Grey’s Anatomy. Not that that’s an entirely bad thing. I happen to like Grey’s. And I’m sure there will be plenty of people who like Private Practice just as much. But unless they differentiate themselves, unless they get a more distinct feel, [...]

That’s followed by the premiere of the new CW series Reaper [...]
News Season: CBS’ The Big Bang Theory
September 25, 2007 By 1 Comment
In theory, the show could be funny. In practice, it’s not even close. The story of two total geeks (or, perhaps more accurately, nerds) living together in a vaguely run-down apartment building who get a new neighbor–a totally hot girl. The Big Bang Theory misses on every possible note it can. Well, that’s not entirely [...]
Get outta my car
According to an article in Variety, there is serious talk of bringing back Knight Rider. Now, Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows in the 80s. Since I got my driver’s license, it’s held even more appeal because, hey, who wouldn’t like to have a car that could drive itself–let alone one that is [...]
