My Take On…THE FOLLOWING Series Premiere on FOX

Tonight on FOX, Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy star in Kevin Williamson’s latest drama THE FOLLOWING, at 9/8c. Purefoy plays serial killer Joe Carroll, a charismatic Lit professor with a fixation on the works of Edgar Allan Poe.  Joe was convicted of killing women in increasingly violent ways, always being sure to cut out their eyes, “the windows to their souls,” in the process.  The man responsible for finally stopping Carroll was FBI Agent Ryan Hardy (Bacon), now a former

My Take On…..LEGIT, premiering on FX tonight

Tonight on FX at 10:30/9:30c, after the premiere of ARCHER, Australian comic Jim Jefferies introduces himself to TV screens on this side of the world with his new comedy LEGIT.  Jefferies stars as a fictional version of himself, a “drunk idiot” who decides that at this point in his life, he has to turn his life and job into something more legitimate.  But he’s not going to do it alone.  Rounding out the cast are Jim’s best friend Steve (Dan

My Take On…the ARCHER Season 4 Premiere

Thinking of all the possible “top 10s” I could write – best comedy, best show, best animated show, best voiceover, favorite show of all time – ARCHER would be on all of them, prominently displayed and written about profusely. The show about a super vain spy named Sterling Archer who works for his mother, with his ex, and among a crowd of crazies crazier than people have any right to be is fast and smart; hilarious and beautifully animated; dark

My Take on…THE CARRIE DIARIES on The CW

I was never a fan of SEX AND THE CITY.  That’s not to say that I didn’t watch an episode here and there, but really, the show served as something to frustrate me at awards shows (much like GIRLS does now…but I digress).  So I wasn’t too interested in watching the newest CW offering, THE CARRIE DIARIES, which premieres tonight at 8/7c.  The show (based on Candace Bushnell’s prequel books) follows 1984-Carrie-Bradshaw, before she was the girl getting soaked by

Thursday Must Watch: ELEMENTARY – Sherlock meets a man from his past

In tonight’s all new must-watch episode of ELEMENTARY on CBS (10/9c), after a string of murders, murders that are eerily similar to 37 other murders he investigated in London, happen in New York, Sherlock goes a bit off the rails as he tries to track down the man responsible before anyone else is able to.  Vinnie Jones is the evil man in question, and just when you think the episode is going to zig, it zags quite nicely.  The episode

Reminder: COUGAR TOWN is now on TBS and it premieres tonight!

I know; it feels like forever since we’ve hung out with the Cul-de-Sac Crew.  The show that tried for years to find footing on a network that continually deemed them unworthy of too much promotion has moved on to bigger and better things!  Tonight at 10/9c, COUGAR TOWN is back and as funny as ever – but don’t set your dial to ABC.  It’s airing on TBS, and if the constant stream of promotion is any indication, CT has found

My Take on…DECEPTION: REVENGE-lite, and that’s not a good thing

Tonight on NBC, the first of their two new midseason dramas premieres. DECEPTION (10/9c) tells the story of a wealthy NY family, the Bowers, who are dealt a blow when the oldest daughter, Vivian, is found dead of an apparent overdose. The seemingly-reformed party-girl’s death brings her old best friend Joanna Locasto (once the daughter of the Bowers’ old made, now an SFPD cop) back to the manor to investigate exactly what happened. When she gets back to town, she

THE BACHELOR is back and once again looking for love (and ratings)!

THE BACHELOR is back for Season 17!  This time around, another also-ran from a previous season of THE BACHELORETTE tries for another shot of love.  The new BACHELOR is Sean Lowe, one of Emily Maynard’s discarded loves and this man, for all intents and purposes, is like Greek-god-mixed-with-a-Ken-doll attractive.  He seems genuine and ready for love, as all of the past BACHELORs have, and as with every season, I reluctantly find myself invested in his journey.  And what of his

My Take On….MOCKINGBIRD LANE on NBC

Bryan Fuller has long been a favorite of MToT – those few DEAD LIKE ME episodes; WONDERFALLS is one of the best gone-but-not-forgotten series in recent memory; and of course, who can forget PUSHING DAISIES, one of my favorite shows of all time? Tonight, NBC is giving you a chance to check out his latest project, the “reboot,” so to speak, of the classic sitcom THE MUNSTERS, appropriately titled MOCKINGBIRD LANE.

My Take On….HAPPY ENDINGS Season 3 (Hint: It’s Perfection!)

I know that there are about 150 comedies airing tonight on all of the networks (really, it’s 7), and believe me when I say that you should be watching at least 149 (really, 6) of them, but if there is one show that absolutely needs to be watched (and then watched again immediately), it’s tonight’s third season premiere of ABC’s HAPPY ENDINGS.  Jane, Brad, Alex, Dave, Max, and Penny are back, and the premiere lets us in on what’s been
