summer premieres

I doubt anybody is really waiting for me to tell them when summer programming begins, so I’m not really going to make much of an effort researching the premiere dates for every single show.
This summer I’ll be watching Burn Notice, The Closer, Top Chef Masters, Monk, Psych, Leverage, and checking out Dylan McDermott’s new crime [...]

gone, baby, gone

I never saw that movie. Is Affleck a good director?
Anyway.
So even though I no longer watch Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money or Pushing Daisies, I was still sort of surprised to hear that ABC has effectively canceled all three of them. I know ratings weren’t fabulous, but all three have received tons of critical acclaim, [...]

all charm, little substance

Looks like Pushing Daisies‘ days are numbered.
Can’t say I’m all that surprised. I think I only saw the first two episodes this season before finding myself completely and utterly…bored.
It’s a shame, because the series is so charming (and Lee Pace is so yummy). But I guess charm will only get you so far…
Did ABC just [...]

smörgåsbord

I used to post practically everyday or at least every other day about pop culture stuff. Now I have to force myself to sit down and regurgitate about 10 days’ worth of TV tidbits and reviews and general gushing.
Here we go:
Chuck: Oh, how I missed Chuck. With the exception of some of the Lester/Jeff/Anna/Morgan stuff, [...]

darlton & the pips: the comic-con showrunners panel

There is such a ginormous volume of stuff coming from Comic-Con that I have stopped trying to keep track of it all. (I haven’t even watched all the Twilight footage, nor do I think I want to.)
I’m not even sure I would’ve wanted to be at the Twilight panel because as I’ve stated before, I [...]

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 [...]

the hipsters be muggin’ on me all night long

When all else fails and you can’t think of an appropriate post title, just use a random-yet-fun line from a Good Charlotte song…
Anyway, I’m just checking in with some awesome TV tidbits before it’s off to watch tonight’s delicious episode of Chuck sans commercial interruption. I fraktastically adore this show. It is beyond amazing and [...]

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, [...]

what a pie-lette

Sigh.
I am in love with Pushing Daisies.
I don’t think I know enough words to describe the brilliance Bryan Fuller (Heroes, Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me) has created, but I’ll make a concerted effort.
It is magical. Whimsical. Enchanted. Vibrant. Beautiful. Touching. Clever. Quirky. Funny. Smart.
Lee Pace is most definitely an Acronym, but then again, he was awesome [...]

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 [...]
