That’s full seasons of BLUE BLOODS (watch it Fridays), MIKE AND MOLLY (Mondays after TWO AND A HALF MEN), SHIT MY DAD SAYS (tonight), THE DEFENDERS (Wednesday nights), and HAWAII FIVE-0 (Monday nights)! Kudos to CBS for their 5 for 5 record!

Syfy Digital Press Tour 2010 – SANCTUARY is back tonight!

I recently headed down to Orlando as a part of the Digital Press Group that Syfy hosted for their 4th annual Digital Press Tour (remember when I went on the ghost hunt?).  After two incredible days filled with more 5-star food than you can imagine (some prepared by a TOP CHEF favorite), haunted houses, scares zones, butter beer, and 8 hours of panels, I can say that it was their best so far! In honor of the third season premiere

Fall Pilot Review – NO ORDINARY FAMILY on ABC

What? The Powells are about to go from ordinary to extraordinary. After 16 years of marriage, Jim feels disconnected from his workaholic wife, Stephanie, and two teenage children, Daphne and JJ. To encourage family bonding time, Jim decides the family will join Stephanie on her business trip to South America. When their plane crashes into the Amazon River, they barely enjoy a moment to celebrate their survival before returning to the grind of everyday life. But they will soon realize

My Take On…THE GOOD GUYS Fall premiere

One of my favorite shows of the summer was FOX’s criminally underrated buddy-cop-drama-comedy set in Dallas – THE GOOD GUYS.  Colin Hanks plays charming and adorably by-the-books Detective Jack Bailey who is paired with his exact opposite, Dan Stark, played to perfection by Bradley Whitford.  I was hooked from minute one and think that it got better and better with each summer episode. The first season continues tonight on FOX with an all new episode called “Vacation”.  Thanks to an

Fall Pilot Review – BLUE BLOODS on CBS

What? BLUE BLOODS is a drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan is the New York City Police Commissioner and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry, during his stint as Chief. A source of pride and concern for Frank is his eldest son Danny,

Fall Pilot Review – MY GENERATION on ABC

What? What a difference ten years can make. In 2000 a documentary crew follows a disparate group of high school seniors from Greenbelt High School in Austin, TX, as they prepare for graduation, and revisits them ten years later, in 2010, as they return home to rediscover that, just because they’re not where they planned to be, that doesn’t mean they’re not right where they need to be. None of these students could wait to graduate and head out into

Fall Pilot Review – OUTSOURCED on NBC

What? OUTSOURCED is NBC’s new workplace comedy series centered around a catalog-based company, Mid America Novelties, that sells American novelty goods, including whoopee cushions, foam fingers and wallets made of bacon, and whose call center has suddenly been outsourced to India. After recently completing Mid America Novelties’ manager training program, Todd Dempsy learns that the call center is being outsourced to India, and he is asked to move there to be the manager.  Having never ventured out of the country,

Fall Pilot Review – S#*! MY DAD SAYS on CBS

What? $#*! MY DAD SAYS (pronounced “Bleep My Dad Says”), based on the popular Twitter feed by Justin Halpern, follows Ed Goodson, a forthright and opinionated dad who relishes expressing his unsolicited and often wildly politically incorrect observations to anyone within earshot. Nobody is safe from Ed’s rants, including his sons, Henry, a struggling writer-turned-unpaid blogger; and Vince, the meek half of a husband/wife real estate duo with domineering Bonnie. When Henry finds he can no longer afford to pay

My Take on….the COUGAR TOWN Season premiere!

Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with Jules Cobb and her ridiculous  bunch of friends.  What started as a show about a woman in her 40s, dating younger men quickly became a heartwarming story of friends and family that is must see for me on Wednesday nights.  The first two episodes of this well-deserved second season cover exactly the reasons why I love these nutcases. In episode 1, Courtney Cox’s unknown best friend Jennifer Aniston (</sarcasm>) drops by

My Take On….THE MIDDLE S2!

Oh how I love this show.  If I’m being perfect honest with you, there are weeks when I think that the Hecks of THE MIDDLE are funnier than the Pritchett clan on MODERN FAMILY.  You can start throwing all the stones you want, but Axel, Sue, and Brick are consistently hysterically funny, and the frazzled life of Frankie and Mike is as relateable as it gets. The new season starts tonight on ABC, and it’s one of the funniest episodes
