I’m loving HBO’s Hung, and not for the reasons you might imagine. In my See Jane Clack column last week, I mentioned that there seems to be a rash of shows with characters using illegal or unscrupulous means just to get by in the world. For the most part, these are just normal people who’ve […]
Tonight in reruns, we’ve got House, Lie to Me, and Emeril Green, among others. Here’s the roundup: At 8 PM, Fox is running House: The Softer Side. It’s the one where the team tries to decode a patient with both male and female DNA. No, it’s not a reality TV series, it’s House. Over on […]
