upfronts: abc

When favorite cast members of mine are killed off, I have a hard time wanting to continue watching the show, no matter how good it is. So now that ABC has confirmed the Elizabeth Mitchell rumor — that yes, she will, in fact, be a regular on the network’s reboot of the camptastic 80s drama [...]

izzie stevens: persona annoya

Okay, I’m so over Grey’s Anatomy and am not even at all curious as to what Season 5 will hold this September. The writers effectively pounded this show into the ground last season with their descent into the trash commonplace on Desperate Housewives some of their storyline choices, and I have to say, that breathlessly [...]

jen’s top 10 of ‘07

So Kristin just posted her Top 10 shows of 2007 and because I am nothing if not a stalker follower (seriously, isn’t there some saying out there about imitation being the best form of flattery or something?), I thought I’d post my list as well.
Except…it’s really a lot harder than I expected. For one, we [...]

seriously: a critical analysis

The first email Matt Roush includes in today’s Ask Matt had me nodding along in still-sleepy agreement. (I’ve only been awake for about seven minutes.)
It’s what I’ve been thinking since the new TV season started. I’m going to lump Grey’s Anatomy in with Heroes, though. Seriously. What is going on there? I have been mostly [...]

heroes finally gets good this week

Okay, not that I don’t think it’s been good. I mean, yes, I fast-forward through the Maya and Alejandro stuff, and the Niki/Micah/random relatives stuff (although Monica’s power seems pretty cool), and Mohinder needs to stop whining already, but other than that…
That being said, when I saw Kristen Bell in the previews for next week, [...]

love/addiction

Matt Roush was right, as usual — tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, “Love/Addiction,” was fantastic.
Let’s get one thing out of the way: Chandra Wilson may as well start writing her Emmy acceptance speech. Based on tonight’s performance, it’s hers to lose.
Okay. Now that that’s out of the way….
As the episode title suggests, the plot centered [...]

the week that was: pb&j

Welcome to my first weekly recap. I have no idea what type of format I’m going to go with, which is pretty typical with me, so as usual, there will just be a lot of stream-of-consciousness-type babbling.
So without further ado…
Mondays:
Chuck and Heroes: already raved about them here.
How I Met Your Mother: I have to say, [...]

pure bliss

“You are kind of awesome.”
That was my favorite line of “A Change is Gonna Come,” the Season 4 premiere of Grey’s Anatomy. And I can’t be happier it’s back.
I love LOST.
I love Heroes.
I love The Office.
I am starting to fall head-over-heels with Chuck and Gossip Girl and Pushing Daisies.
But I am fixated on Grey’s Anatomy. [...]

to TiVo or not to TiVo

It’s September 1. Know what that means? And no, I’m not talking about anything to do with Labor Day or back to school or the fact that fall and crisp, cool weather’s right around the corner — here in good ol’ Texas, I’ll be wearing capris and flip-flops till, oh, about December.
Nope.
I’m talking about the [...]

didn’t we almost have it all?

One of my favorite things about Grey’s Anatomy is its use of song titles as episode titles. The title of the season finale — “Didn’t We Almost Have It All?” — was one of the more perfect ones.
Okay. So I haven’t read anyone’s recaps, and I haven’t even listened to Shonda’s podcast or read her [...]
