The battle of Tuesday at 10PM – SOUTHLAND, WHITE COLLAR, and JUSTIFIED join an already overwhelming hour

January 17, 2012 Amrie

If you’re like me and you watch too much TV, the chances are good that for 10/9c Tuesdays, you’ve already got your DVR set for PARENTHOOD, BODY OF PROOF, UNFORGETTABLE, and one of the multiple other reality shows that you won’t admit out loud that you can’t live without. So what happens when SOUTHLAND (TNT), WHITE COLLAR (6 new episodes on USA), and JUSTIFIED (FX) join the already overwhelming hour that your DVR can’t handle? Chaos. The good kind of

Tune In Alert: Purina Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals

January 13, 2012 Amrie

Every now and then, there’s something totally off the wall that I find myself heading to my parents’ to watch with my dad. Sometimes it’s an INCOME PROPERTY or YARD CRASHERS marathon; other times, it’s the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge National Finals. We manage to spend hours watching dogs dive and dash through obstacles courses that I would never be able to train our dog Charlie to do. EVER. This weekend, the 14th annual event airs, Sunday on NBC at

Public Service Announcement: ABC is all new tonight!! Don’t miss a minute of it!

January 4, 2012 Amrie

Yes, I really am just posting a post to remind you, out of the goodness of my heart, that the best three hours of the week are TONIGHT! Starting at 8/7c, don’t miss an all new THE MIDDLE which finds the Family Heck claiming it the “Year of the Hecks” and setting out to accomplish randomly and anonymously assigned New Year’s Resolutions. At 8:30/7:30c, it’s the “Driving Miss Dalia” episode of SUBURGATORY that Jane Levy talked about with us this

Quick Take: Courtney K and Amrie are divided on LAST MAN STANDING…mainly because Am will be watching…

October 11, 2011 CourtneyK

Well, Tim Allen is back on TV…. This is going to be quick, hence the Quick Take; I didn’t like Last Man Standing. I have to admit, it was far too close to Home Improvement. Manly Dad, check. Quick Witted Mom, check. Three kids, this time GIRLS! But wait, there’s a Grandbaby! Ok, so there’s no Mysterious Neighbor, but there is a job involving Manly-ness (Sporting Goods). I feel bad, I wanted to like the show because I like Tim

Stars of BEING HUMAN talk S2

October 10, 2011 Amrie

Sam Witwer, Sam Huntington, and Meaghan Rath talked Season 2 with us at the Syfy Tour this morning. After a great introduction from Mark Stern from Syfy, where he announced that the show returns January 16, 2012 at 9/8c, the cast joined him on stage for a great preview clip. They promise that it’s going to be a very dark Season. Huntington says that they kind of all go off on their own independent paths that are all obviously interlaced

I’m moving to SUBURGATORY

September 28, 2011 Amrie

In the interest of full disclosure, people who know me know that I love Jeremy Sisto. I have watched his career take a very eclectic spin from Elton to Billy Chenowith to Knapp (loved KIDNAPPED) to Detective Lupo. Because of my love of “rolling with the homies”, I have a predisposition to love SUBURGATORY (much like my love for Raven Symone pre-determined that I would suffer through STATE OF GEORGIA). It’s not unlike enduring a losing streak, playing just three more

HART OF DIXIE – still don’t totally buy Bilson as a doctor, but love the show regardless!

September 26, 2011 Amrie

Tonight on The CW, after the season premiere of GOSSIP GIRL, be sure to tune into the series premiere of HART OF DIXIE, a new dramedy (is that still a thing) created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s team, and featuring a cast that boasts lead Rachel Bilson and Scott Porter. HART OF DIXIE (not a mis-print – the Hart in question belongs to Zoe, as in Dr Zoe Hart, Rachel Bilson’s character) is about a NYC doctor on the

PERSON OF INTEREST – is a combo of Ben Linus and Jesus enough to keep me tuning in?

September 22, 2011 Amrie

Tonight on CBS, in the former home of CSI, new show PERSON OF INTEREST, a JJ Abrams-created drama starring Michael Emerson, Taraji P Henson (pictured, on purpose), and Jim Caviezel, settles in on a busy Thursday schedule. The show, about a creepy man named Finch (played, naturally, by Michael Emerson) who has a machine or device that can pull up the social security number, or some other identifying information, about people who will be involved in a crime or something

Tuesday Must Watch: FOX premiere night – GLEE, NEW GIRL, RAISING HOPE

September 20, 2011 Amrie

I know where I’ll be tonight – sitting down to watch the premieres of A) my favorite comedy, B) my favorite NEW comedy, and C) a show that I won’t give up on no matter how many ways they try to make me…. Tonight at 8/7c on FOX, Season 3 of GLEE kicks off with an episode designed to put the focus back on the regulars, you know, the focus that we’ve lost since the first 13 episodes of Season
