Courtney K on SMASH and rooting for the “wrong” Marilyn

I don’t like to write critical pieces about shows. You can stop laughing now. I DON’T! I feel bad when I think about how hard that person may have worked or how long it took them to get to where they are and how it’s not necessarily their fault…and then there’s SMASH. There’s nothing precisely wrong with this show. The elements are there; fantastic veteran talents, a glimpse into the realm of Broadway, talented bendy males and females prancing about,

Quick Take: CourtneyK enjoys ALCATRAZ!

Have you ever questioned history? If you’re an alternate-theory fan, you’ve probably posed the question: What if the history of Alcatraz Prison is not what we’ve been told all these years? FOX is upping their game of dark and twisted by debuting a full two-hour ALCATRAZ evening, Monday at 8/7c.  Worth noting? I’m a big supporter of airing a pilot and second episode back to back; I feel it plants a firmer hold in the viewership….especially if the show is

BEING HUMAN is back and Courtney K is excited!

IT’S BACK IT’S BACK IT’S BAAAAAAACK!!!! I have been seriously jonesing for BEING HUMAN (back Monday night at 9/8c on SYFY) since it went on hiatus. The complicated lives of 3 roommates who just happen to be Vampire, Ghost and Werewolf sunk it’s jaws, cold dead hands, and claws into me (see what I did there? Nice right? ) and has never let go. I’m perfectly ok with that. Last year was brutal; the season finale left so many questions

JANE BY DESIGN Quick Take – we think you should watch!

See Jane. See Jane be a talented high school student making her own smashing clothes. See Jane have a sexy best friend, Billy; see Jane and Billy be social outcasts. (It’s so unrealistic, these two are SO adorable but hey, it’s television.) Jane and brother, Nick have money troubles. Before you can say, “Welcome to the Club”; Jane applies for an internship at a prestigious fashion house and mistakenly gets hired not as the unpaid intern, but as a salaried

Courtney K continues to love / hate PRETTY LITTLE LIARS!

Oh I’m sorry, that noise? That was me shrieking with the joy of a small child who’s just been told they’ve inherited a chocolate factory. “…wh-why?” you ask? PRETTY LITTLE LIARS IS BACK!!! The Halloween episode was torture, TORTURE! Watching the prequel only made my love/hate of this unbelievable show become even more embedded. The realization that “A” has been around long before Alison’s murder only breeds more options for the elusive “A”s identity and opens up the door to

Courtney looks back on her Favorites from 2011

Courtney K is taking a look back on her favorites from 2011 – how do these stack up to yours? Favorite new obsession: DOCTOR WHO – where HAVE I been?? In a world with faded colors that’s where. Becoming a Doctor Who fan (or Whovian) has brought me a whole mess of new appreciations. Much like fans of Army of Darkness or Firefly, there’s hidden jokes in almost everything I watch or read that all point back to one Doctor

Kirsten Vangsness gives CourtneyK all the details on CRIMINAL MINDS

Speak and be heard!! HERE IT IS!! My bumbly interview with the effervescent Kirsten Vangsness from CRIMINAL MINDS. As some of you may know, I wrote a character rundown almost a year ago to the day; it was one of my first pieces for MyTakeOnTV.com and it was about The Brainy Broads: Abbey from NCIS and Garcia from Criminal Minds. I went on and on about how marvelous they were and are. Imagine my overflow of joy when Amrie asked

On DVD today: Gabriel Iglesias’ STAND UP REVOLUTION!

One of my favorite comics has new show and the DVD set comes out November 15th! Gabriel Iglesias, or as he’s lovingly referred to as Fluffy and Comedy Central present STAND UP REVOLUTION! A two disc set, featuring the Fluffy man himself, introduces some of the many friends he’s made throughout his many comedy tours. His “infamous” friend Martin Moreno is the emcee, and with the Grammy Award winning band Ozomatli as the house band, this show brings major funny

Must Watch: A dark and twisty GREY’S ANATOMY

I know, I know. Grey’s is sooo passé; but I have been fortunate enough to become a fan when GA went to syndication, so it’s only been a year or so of dramas for me, rather than the full 5+ year gamut. That long, drawn out torturous trip that the majority of the die-hards have gone through, I have been on the fast track for it. This episode centers on perspective; posing the question, “What really is a bad day?”

CourtneyK takes on the inaugural ComiKaze Expo

Over the weekend I was privileged enough to attend the first annual Comikaze Expo in L.A. While L.A. and I don’t normally get along, I managed to maneuver myself around and successfully plunk myself into the convention center, obtain my wristband and start exploring the floor! Being that this was the first Comikaze Expo, there were good parts and learning parts. I was surprised to find that the whole of the convention was one floor. One. Meaning the panels were
