UPDATE: We’ve got the fall 2009-2010 TV show return schedule posted now. This is old stuff! Back in the day — sometime before the turn of the century — the end of the first half of the fall season really didn’t mean too much in the land of television. Yes, some shows left the air […]
(Season 2, Episode 11 – “Chuck Versus Santa Claus”) Once again, Chuck lives up to all our expectations and surpasses them. What started off as a simple hostage situation at the Buy More became something a lot more dangerous for Chuck, Sarah and Casey. I was pleased that I didn’t see that particular plot turn […]
(Season 3, Episode 13 – “Chapter 13: Dual”) The thing about tense situations in Heroes is that they kind of don’t matter.

The once imposing network — home to such television icons as the Cartwrights and Johnny Carson — has plummeted into a chasm of mediocrity. A perennial ratings powerhouse during the ’80s and ’90s, […]
Alright, alright, it’s probably way too early for this post, and it’s most likely an overstatement, but I can’t help thinking that network TV as we know it is in critical condition. With the latest news that NBC is giving up on the ten o’clock hour giving Jay Leno a nightly show at 10 PM, […]
