What’s Gone
The annual up fronts were presented in New York City a couple weeks ago. For those not in the know, that means that all of the networks have released their currently planned schedules for the Fall. Without a doubt, some things (like the days and times of shows) will change before September rolls around. Other…

Mystery of the Crystal Skulls
Right now there’s a documentary on the Sci Fi Channel called Mystery of the Crystal Skulls. Obviously, it’s timed to coincide with the release of the new Indiana Jones movie that focuses on the mysterious and controversial crystal skulls. That movie has been mentioned a few times. Mostly, though, this has been a prime example…

Beauty and the Geek: Gone Too Far
Since it first aired, I’ve been a fan of Beauty and the Geek. I thought the concept was fantastic and the execution infinitely better than most “reality” shows. The contestants grew and learned. The show wasn’t as much about competition as it was about becoming a better person–the prize money was just an extra added…

Two New Things and Two Returning Favorites
If you like TV and haven’t checked out Hulu.com yet, do it now. The site has a wealth of classic and current shows. A lot more clips than full episodes, but the things they have full episodes (and some full seasons of) is pretty impressive. The video quality is OK. I noticed a bunch of…

Just a Quick Lost Note
If you haven’t been watching Lost this season, you’ve been seriously missing out. Last season, the run started off a little rough. This time around, there was none of that. That’s probably a good thing, with the long lull between last season and this season. Any faltering would have lost them a lot of viewers.…

New on Fox: New Amsterdam
I’ve put off talking about New Amsterdam for a couple of episodes. Mainly because I wanted to see if it could keep up the wonderful attitude it had in the first episode. The show really did surprise me. Right from the first few minutes, it set a good tone. We quickly got into the head…

From the Web to the Network
This Tuesday at 10 p.m., Quarterlife (which I mentioned a while back) makes the leap from the computer screen to the TV screen when it debuts on NBC after the next episode of The Biggest Loser. If you haven’t checked out this show online already, catch it when it hits the main stream. From the…

A New Knight
Watched the new Knight Rider 2-hour TV movie. I was pretty impressed. That’s not to say it’s not without some problems. But those problems are pretty much in line with criticisms that could be lobbed at the original show. The main one being: there’s some pretty bad science involved. But we’ll let that slide, for…

Sunday Knight
You may remember a while back I mentioned there was a new Knight Rider show in the works. Well, it’s on NBC this Sunday. I plan on catching it. KITT is a Mustang. That’s going to upset some people. (And voiced by Val Kilmer!) Hasselhoff is in it, but hot as a main player. It…

Aaaand We’re Back!
Good news for everyone: The Writer’s Strike is Over! Everyone gets to go back to work tomorrow and, if all goes well with the ratification of the contract (which I’d imagine it will), those of us sitting in front of out TVs can expect to see new episodes of old shows by April. This has…

One end = More Middle
It looks like the writer’s strike may be heading toward a positive resolution, at least according to a recent post over at United Hollywood. This is good news both for the writer’s who’ve been out of work for three months and those of us who’ve been waiting to see what, if anything, the rest of…

New Season: NBC’s Lipstick Jungle
Believe it or not, I was huge fan of Sex and the City. I loved the show not just because the main character was a writer or because of all the actual sex that went on in it, but because the characters were strong and realistic women. Well, at least as realistic as NYC socialites…
