Thursday Must Watch: IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY… and ARCHER on FX

September 15, 2011 Amrie

There’s something comforting about tonight’s premieres of IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA and (on for a special three week release) ARCHER. It’s like being back among friends that you’ve missed for way too long. IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA gets away with so very much and I love the show for that and a million other reasons. In tonight’s season 7 premiere, Frank’s love for a hooker named Roxy finds the gang trying to “Pretty Woman” her into Julia Roberts

My Take On…UP ALL NIGHT

September 14, 2011 Amrie

How does the combination of Will Arnett (easily one of my favorites), Christina Applegate (SAMANTHA WHO? was underrated), and Maya Rudolph manage to bum me out? It seems impossible. And yet….there’s UP ALL NIGHT. The pilot of the show follows Reagan and Chris Brinkley, new parents to the adorable Amy, as they prepare for Reagan’s re-entry into the working world. Two versions of the pilot made their way around the critic blogosphere and if I was on the fence about

My Take On….FREE AGENTS

September 14, 2011 Amrie

Sometimes, when I’m watching a show – a new show, a returning show, a special episode that everyone watches of something they normally wouldn’t, I feel like I’ve been given the “B-side.” On that B-side, I’m always given a different version of the show – people love 2 BROKE GIRLS; I don’t (that’s a story for another day). Everyone raved about HUGE; I hated it. I’m always watching something a little different. That happened again for me with FREE AGENTS

My Take On….RINGER

September 13, 2011 Amrie

Tonight on The CW, after the 4th season premiere of 90210, Sarah Michelle Gellar returns to TV in RINGER, the show that follows the story of twin sisters Bridget and Siobhan and what happens after the fateful day of their reunion 6 years in the making. For all intents and purposes, RINGER should be my number 1 show to look forward to. Buffy is back on TV, y’all, and she’s kicking ass, and playing two roles, and is really, really

My Take On…the SONS OF ANARCHY S4 Premiere

September 6, 2011 Amrie

(The following review will cover mild spoilers from the premiere; don’t read if you want to stay completely unaware until you watch.) A lot has changed in Charming since the SONS OF ANARCHY premiere three years ago. The SONS have gone to Hell and back, Ireland and back, and in the season 4 premiere, Rockford prison and back. Having spent the better part of two years in federal prison after a deal they struck in the S3 finale, the boys

What I’m Watching – Monday, 7-11-11

July 11, 2011 Amrie

Is everyone going to get their free Slurpees at the Sev (7-11) today? As it turns out, for a summer Monday, there are a lot of premieres tonight and I’m watching them all! At 8 – EUREKA is back with the mid-season premiere (Season 4.5 for those keeping track). In tonight’s all new episode, a rescue mission puts some relationships to the test. The mid-season finale last year left Zane wondering why Jo was holding onto his grandmother’s ring, and

My Take On…NECESSARY ROUGHNESS on USA

June 29, 2011 Amrie

Full disclosure? Callie Thorne and I have had a long-standing contentious relationship that I’m pretty sure she knows nothing about. I’m a from-the-beginning viewer of RESCUE ME, and Sheila Keefe has long been a, no pun intended, thorn in my side. So, you can imagine my preparation, going in to tonight’s premiere of NECESSARY ROUGHNESS (10/9c on USA), to fully dislike Callie Thorne’s Dr Dani, the Long Island psychotherapist, who decides to take on a hot-headed celebrity as a client,

LOUIE is back tonight on FX

June 23, 2011 Amrie

Are you a fan of Louis CK’s brand of no holds barred, tell it like it is, just plain funny comedy? If so, don’t forget to tune in to tonight’s season 2 premiere (following the series premiere of WILFRED). In the premiere, one of his sisters comes for a visit, and in the process, he meets and becomes friends with his new neighbors. There’s a classic depression feel in every episode of LOUIE that I watch; Louie seems so sad.

My Take On…SUITS on USA

June 23, 2011 Amrie

What are you doing tonight after an all new BURN NOTICE? If I could give you one piece of advice, it’s to be sure that you’re watching or DVRing USA’s all new series premiere SUITS. What is SUITS, you ask? Check out USA’s official description: SUITS delves into the fast-paced, high-stakes world of a top Manhattan corporate law firm where hotshot attorney Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) makes a risky move by hiring Mike Ross (Patrick J Adams), a brilliant but
