Wednesday Must Watch: AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 PLATES

Tune in to Bravo tonight to catch another great series from the Magic Elves who gave us TOP CHEF and PROJECT RUNWAY.  Famous chefs Cat Cora and Curtis Stone (love him) team up as judges on a competition-journey around the world! I’ve already set my DVR because the show is bringing us a new twist on the competition series that finds 12 chefs competing in a race over 40 days and 10 countries!  They’re thrown into these foreign kitchens (London

Give BEST FRIENDS FOREVER a (second) chance!

I’ll admit that when I watched the premiere of BEST FRIENDS FOREVER, I wasn’t immediately hooked.  I liked the cast, I liked the idea and story behind the show, but it didn’t strike me as must watch until I watched the pilot again.  From that second viewing, I was smitten.  While HAPPY ENDINGS is on hiatus (and yes, I realize they’re on separate networks), BFF has taken the top spot on the “let me swap ridiculous quote text messages with

Drop everything tonight at 9:30 (8:30 Central) and watch PARKS AND RECREATION!

Yes, that is an order! PARKS AND RECREATION is back tonight, after too many weeks away (it’s taking the 9:30/8:30c slot for the next few weeks)!  In tonight’s episode, Bradley Whitford guest stars as city councilman Pilner, who controls the budget – when Leslie hears that he is going to cut the Parks budget, she springs into action with some expected and disastrous results!  Meanwhile, another great bromance is growing between Chris and Ron as the two embark on a

Monday Must Watch: Final EUREKA Season Premiere on Syfy

This preview will contain mild spoilers that are included in the Syfy episode blurb on many TV listing sites, but be warned if you want to remain completely story-line naive for the show’s return at 9/8c TONIGHT on Syfy! When we last left our favorite folks of EUREKA, the Astraeus mission was off to an already rocky start when Allison ended up on board when the ship, seemingly launching itself, took off for the planet Titan! The season premiere picks

Watch the full pilot for AWAKE, right here, right now!

AWAKE is one of those shows that I’ve been dying to see more from since the summer when I first saw the pilot.  The story of a man trapped between two dream worlds or two real worlds where he can’t determine if his wife is alive and he’s dreaming of his son or if his son is alive and he’s dreaming of his wife.  It all comes together in a smart and engaging way – check out the pilot now,

Happy Valentine’s Day from RAISING HOPE!

In tonight’s Valentine’s Day episode of RAISING HOPE, Sabrina gets something to think about when Jimmy starts trotting around guest star Ashley Tisdale (she’s hysterical) as his new girlfriend.  In the meantime, Virginia and Burt decide it’s time they had a shared hobby.  If ever there was an episode that new and current fans of this show should watch, it’s this one.  Spoiler alert – the story of our main characters is retold in an inventive way, and by the

Get ready to Pound Some Grape with the Cul-de-Sac Crew on COUGAR TOWN!

It feels like forever since we’ve spent any time with our friends at COUGAR TOWN, the almost-forgotten ABC show that didn’t make the Fall schedule, and then almost didn’t make the Spring schedule.  The show finally returns to the network’s schedule tonight, airing at 8:30/7:30c, after an all new episode of hit comedy LAST MAN STANDING.  Sure it seems like a time slot that’s more “let’s just put it on the air even if it doesn’t fit” than “this goes

My Take On…THE RIVER

Historically, I’ve not been a fan of scary things – I haven’t seen a single Halloween or Friday the 13th.  I don’t see movies like Paranormal Activity because I have a mind susceptible to convincing that ghost and things are haunting my house.  I couldn’t make it through AMERICAN HORROR STORY’s pilot because something in me was just creeped out beyond belief. That all started to slowly change, however, as I sat down to watch the first two episodes of

Sunday Must Watch: THE GOOD WIFE “Another Ham Sandwich”

Tonight on CBS, after an all new UNDERCOVER BOSS and before an all new CSI: MIAMI, it’s finally time for a new episode of THE GOOD WIFE!!  Wendy Scott Carr is out for blood in the case of impropriety and bribery against Will and tonight, it’s time for the grand jury; WSC will stop at nothing to get that indictment against him.  With Dana doing her best to blackmail Kalinda into saving Alicia by helping the case against Will, and

My Take On….TOUCH on FOX

Allow me a minute to gush, mkay?  I’ve been a fan of Kiefer Sutherland for what feels like forever, so to be without him on TV, even for less than a year, has been horrible.  He returns to FOX tonight on TOUCH (special preview tonight after AMERICAN IDOL; it’s a Monday show when it airs for real, in March), and I’m excited to see where it goes.  Read on to learn more about his new show. TOUCH! Martin Bohm (Sutherland)
