a hole where my heart should be

It took me a while to start watching Criminal Minds because I’m embarrassed to admit I listened to Matt Roush of TV Guide, who has this inexplicable hatred of the show. Now that I’ve seen every episode – most of them more than once, thanks to ion and A&E syndication – I honestly don’t understand [...]

be my mirror, my sword & shield

I have had no desire to blog about anything going on with me lately. I’m just really not that interesting. I mean, I really am boring. Every time I think, okay, I’m going to blog about this, I get home and sit down in front of my computer and…yeah. Nothing.
What’s been happening in my life [...]

dear tuesday: i hate you

Everything was great until So You Think You Can Dance moved to its regular two-hour Tuesday performance/Wednesday results lineup (until now, it’s just been one hour on Wed.)
Even then, I could easily skip the Dancing With the Stars results show, since nothing really happens. Except that November 3 marks the much-heralded, much-anticipated premiere of V. [...]

really, i should’ve known

There are a few things I miss about Gossip Girl.
I miss the actual story arcs of Season 1. It seems the writers have exchanged the deconstruction,personal conflict and resolution that made me actually like the show for shock value and shallowness.
I miss Blair and Serena. No, not the vapid, debauched incarnations  running around now, but [...]

Totally having an impromptu marathon this weekend. I don’t think I will ever stop missing Veronica.

decisions, decisions

I’m still watching too much television.
It’s gotten a lot better now that I’ve gotten rid of all but the most basic of basic cable — I get the four major networks, the CW, ion, TBS, WGN, Nickelodeon, and Bravo. (I think Bravo’s an accident, and the reception isn’t as good as the rest, although it’s [...]

the core of it all

Initially I had qualms about where Lie to Me would fall in my Monday TV lineup, the most crowded day of the week — or whether it would survive at all.
I’m a recent convert to the FOX drama starring Tim Roth in a House-like role as a difficult but brilliant psychologist who’s made quite the [...]

i want to join fringe division

I bought the Fringe Season 1 DVDs the day they came out and I’ve been rewatching them. I’d hoped to rewatch the season finale before Season 2 premiered Thursday, but I didn’t get a chance, what with moving and unpacking and organizing and normal daily routines.
Still it has been awesome to see clues early on [...]

no longer ‘glee’ful

Truth be told, I half-expected that I wouldn’t finish out Glee’s first season.
What surprised me was that I would bail so soon.
It really disappoints me, because I love music so much, and I love musicals, and all of those glee kids have great voices — especially Lea Michele — and I’ve downloaded all of the [...]

fall 2009 premieres

ETA: Holy crap! V’s premiering mid-fall instead of next spring? AWESOME. I was about to start going through Elizabeth Mitchell withdrawal. Stupid Lost.

Need to know when your favorite show(s) premiere?
Well, fortunately for you, I am bored and have nothing better to do than to cut and paste from various TV blogs. Also? Yeah, I’m slightly [...]
