My Take On…the GLEE Season 4 Premiere “The New Rachel”

I know I’ve said it a million times, but I often feel like I’m watching a different episode of shows than others are watching because I tend to dislike whatever it is they rave about. Take, for example, the 4th season premiere of GLEE, a show I once loved and couldn’t wait to watch, but which now falls to the “if I get around to it” pile of back logged TV.  Review, after review, after review of the show is

My Take On….SONS OF ANARCHY Season 5 “Sovereign”

When we last left Charming at the end of SONS OF ANARCHY Season 4, there was a new President at the head of the table, with a new “First Lady” by his side.  Thanks to the demands of the Russian gun runners, Clay was kept alive; a lucky twist of fate from MACHETE’s Danny Trejo kept the Sons out of too much trouble with the FBI; and Juice, poor Juice, was left in jail, recovering from a failed suicide attempt

My (Quick) Take On…GO ON on NBC

Tonight, after another night of Olympic celebration (fingers crossed for Misty and Kerry), NBC hopes you’ll stick around for a commercial-free preview of their newest show GO ON (airing at 11ish/10ish Central). The show stars Matthew Perry as radio sportscaster Ryan King who is back at work after the tragic death of his wife.  When his first day back doesn’t go as planned, his boss Steven (John Cho) requires him to attend a support group for “life change.”  The group

DALLAS returns tonight! Get caught up on the major DALLAS moments in this refresher!

Tonight on TNT, at 9/8c, the Ewings, with all their family and oil business drama, are coming back to our TV screens after many years away! They may have gotten older, but that is about all that’s changed, as Bobby and JR, their sons, Sue Ellen, and South Fork are back and dealing with some of the same old issues. What surprised me most about tonight’s premiere is how much like old-DALLAS this show is. One of the better send

My Take on BUNHEADS

It was almost 12 years ago that I (we all?) fell in love with a little town called Stars Hollow in GILMORE GIRLS.  The small town with its quirky characters was appointment viewing for about 130 hours of my life (I like to pretend Season 7 didn’t really happen).  Since then, few shows have been able to capture the “small town with eccentricities and heart” vibe that creator Amy Sherman-Palladino infused into GG.  Thankfully, she’s back with an all new

Tuesday Must Watch: TNT Premiere Night: RIZZOLI & ISLES/FRANKLIN & BASH

Tune in to TNT tonight for all new episodes of RIZZOLI & ISLES and FRANKLIN & BASH! When we last left RIZZOLI & ISLES, the women were at odds over the fact that Jane had just shot Maura’s bio-dad Patty, after he had shot Jane’s boyfriend Dean, but before Patty could shoot Jane (still with me?).  Maura was not too happy that her undercover operation hadn’t gone quite to plan, and that her best friend had shot her mob boss

Monday Must Watch: MASTERCHEF Season 3 Premiere on FOX

I was asked recently what it was about Gordon Ramsay’s MASTER CHEF that kept me tuning in, versus, say his KITCHEN NIGHTMARES or HELL’S KITCHEN that don’t.  What it boils down to for me is that this a likeable Gordon who, at times, may be rude about flavors or pushy about technique, but who uses his expertise in a supportive (read: not expletive laden) way to find the best home cook in America.  With his partners in crime, Graham Elliot,

My Take on DROP DEAD DIVA Season 4

Season 4 of one of my favorite summer shows, DROP DEAD DIVA, returns tonight and I couldn’t be happier.  Season three’s finale left us with so many questions!! Did Jane end up staying in Italy with Owen?  Did Grayson convince her to stay in time?  Will Jane and Stacy work it all out?  And where oh where has Fred gone? Don’t worry folks, the season premiere answers all of that, and more!!  With (spoiler alert), Jane in Italy, things back

Thursday Must Watch: THE BIG BANG THEORY Season 5 finale – “The Countdown Reflection”

What THE BIG BANG THEORY strives to do best is tell heartfelt stories while being one of the funniest shows on TV, and they succeed the most when the gang is all together and working off of each other’s comedy energy.  Take tonight’s 5th season finale, “The Countdown Reflection,” for example.  Wolowitz is off to space earlier than expected, and the gang comes together to make sure that he and Bernie don’t need to wait until he’s back on Earth
