I’ve always been fascinated by Travelers. When I worked in retail we’d encounter them every so often, just enough to make me curious but not enough for me to form any real opinion on the culture. So when I saw the advertisement for MY BIG FAT GYPSY WEDDING, I quickly added it to my DVR list. I was not disappointed at ALL! At first I thought this show must be at least 10+ years old from the hair and the
The ongoing saga of disgraced heart of gold Doctor Hank in The Hamptons begins tonight. Part Dr. House, part MacGyver; the good Dr. Hank Lawson of Hank MED continues to amaze by fixing broken femurs using nothing but chewing gum and prayer (just kidding!) all the while speaking in such dulcet tones he could convince anyone that they are getting sleepy….very sleepy and count backwards from 10…(shakes head) whoa! I felt hypnotized there for a moment, I didn’t cluck like
When we last left Michael Westen he was *this close* to finding out who burned him and working with the C.I.A. When the Season 5 premiere kicks off (tonight on USA at 9/8c before the series premiere of SUITS), he’s still there. BUT I have to tell you – I have nothing bad to say about it! Michael Westen is a badass. Plain and simple. Jeffrey Donovan was born to play burned spy Michael Westen; he’s got the hardcore dead-pan
My Take Too: PRETTY LITTLE LIARS Summer Premiere – They’re back, bitches! Oi oi!! The long wait for Liars is over! Episode 201: It’s Alive airs tonight at 8/7c on ABC Family; it meets all the requirements for a decent premiere episode. Recap, suspense, drama, sarcasm, half-naked people, and twists like a pretzel (the plotline, not the half-naked people). First question of the season: Is Ian dead or what?? Last time we saw him he was dangling by the neck
Courtney K fell in love with the show HAPPY ENDINGS just in time to hear the great news that it’s been picked up for a second season. Here’s her take: Let me begin by stating for the record, the title of the show kept me from first watching it. I know. It’s incredibly judgmental of me but I didn’t like it and was planning to boycott. Then @MyTakeOnTV had some rave tweets about it and I decided to give it
Pretty Little Liars on ABCFamily has become as frustrating as it has been addictive to me. The teenage girls who have perfectly coiffed hair, wear movie star makeup and designer outfits smack of original Beverly Hills 90210 from my *ahem* childhood. In addition to the adult content (hello teacher-student “love” sitch, the remorseful cheating parent, parties that include more than fruit punch) there’s a massive murder mystery, extortion, and felony theft wrapped into the weekly storyline. The life of the
Here’s Day 2, from Courtney K! The year is quickly coming to a close and soon there will be a number of clip shows, best of shows, and holiday specials instead of the new episodes of the shows we love so much. In keeping with that tradition, Amrie suggested a piecing together of a top ten list, so heeeere they are, in no particular order! My Top Ten Too of 2010: Burn Notice: Fast moving, fascinating MacGyver-like weaponry, and a
Long ago, in a television grainy and sans color, there lived shows where the “spunky best friend” or “wacky neighbor” face time was minimal. They were supporting cast with little heft to their own storylines My my, how glad I am that things have changed! Now the supporting cast has depth and dimension that, at least to me, carry the heart and soul of many of the shows that I watch. It’s no longer about the handsome leading man or
Oi Oi! I’m Courtney K. (@the_games_afoot) and while I’m sure you’d rather get to the skinny on what mytakeontv has to offer, here’s a little blurble about me: Minor in Geek, Major in Snark, Doctorate in Boiling it Down. I’ll try and save you from snobby conjecture; you won’t need dictionary.com to dicipher my paragraphs but I will on occasion challenge you to think outside that box-thing-where-the-tv-people-live. PARENTHOOD (NBC): Has anyone else found themselves constantly thinking “Why don’t these siblings
