Fall Pilot Review – HELLCATS on The CW

What? Marti Perkins is a pre-law student at Lancer University in Memphis, Tennessee.  She hip, she’s edgy, she wears REALLY short shirts, and she is a townie with “working class roots”.  She finds out that the scholarship she relies on has been canceled after she gets the mail before her mother does.  She realizes the only way she can stay in school is by using the gymnastics background she has to impress the school’s cheer squad; they just so happen

My Take on….the PSYCH summer finale

Tonight’s all new episode of PSYCH, the last new one we’re getting until it comes back on November 10, finds our favorite psychic detectives working with everyone’s favorite on-the-run lady, Franka Potente, playing a spy who is tasked by Juliet’s brother to find Shawn, and get him to help her, no matter what. After the fantastic season that we’ve had so far, I was nervous going into the finale that we would some how be let down, and I’m happy

SONS OF ANARCHY S3 Premieres Tonight!

It feels like it’s been a decade since the SONS OF ANARCHY season 2 finale left me crying in my iced tea over the kidnapping of baby Abel, Gemma’s sprint for the Charming border, and the cruel stabbing of Half Sack at the hands of baby-napper Cameron, after Cameron falls victim to the trap set by that horrid bitch-of-an-FBI-agent Stahl (she convinced Cam via police radio that Gemma had killed Edmond, his son, so he set out to exact revenge). 

My DVR’s Take on Fall TV: Sunday

Last day worth talking about (sorry Saturday).  Lots of open real estate on my schedule for this one.  I’ve only added in BROTHERS & SISTERS because a chat with David Marshall Grant (coming soon) really upped my interest in the new season.  I don’t watch anything on Fox on Sundays, ever, and The CW doesn’t show anything anyway! What about you – am I missing something big on Sundays? MONDAY 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 Living Room 1 THE

My DVR’s Take on Fall TV: Friday

Not a whole lot on Friday nights, and I’m always willing to add something new if need be.  Sure, OUTLAW was tragically boring, and I’m not positive that I’ll even like SCHOOL PRIDE, but we’ll see!  Biggest thing of note – congrats to SMALLVILLE and SUPERNATURAL for getting a spot on the living room TV for the first time in years ha! What about you – what does your Friday look like? MONDAY 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 Living

My DVR’s Take on Fall TV: Thursday

My only issue comes on Thursday nights at 8PM, where I actually don’t have enough space to record all five networks as I’d like.  COMMUNITY is definitely must see TV for me, but if I want to give other shows a chance, it needs to move to a Friday morning, first thing show!  When MY GENERATION doesn’t make it (because I don’t think it will, unfortunately for Noah Hawley, one of my faves), COMMUNITY will reclaim its Thursday spot. Also,

My DVR’s Take on Fall TV: Wednesday

For me, Wednesday is a big day – I love 3/4 of the ABC comedies, and I’m going to hold out hope that BETTER WITH YOU turns out better with time, because the pilot didn’t grab me, but I will give it a second shot. The big news is that there are no gaps in my Wednesday schedule – every hour of available real estate is taken.  If I really want to check out LAW AND ORDER: LOS ANGELES, I’ll

My DVR’s Take on Fall TV: Tuesday

It’s a good thing that I have so many holes on the schedule on Tuesday, so I don’t have as much to catch up on after a long night of Quizzo! Even though I have slots to fill, however, I couldn’t bring myself to include ONE TREE HILL on the schedule.  Couldn’t do it! What does your Tuesday schedule look like? TUESDAY 8:00 8:30 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 Living Room 1 GLEE (FOX) RAISING HOPE (FOX) RUNNING WILDE (FOX) SONS

My DVR’s Take on Fall TV: Monday

So you all know by now that I am a scheduler, I am a planner, I am a color coder, you name it, so the idea of planning for Fall TV viewing is incredibly exciting! We are one week away from the fall season starting with the (amazing) SONS OF ANARCHY season premiere, so what better time than now to start talking about what I’m recording? For Monday, in particular, I had some holes to fill which is why 90210

My Take On….the HAVEN premiere

I’ve been trying all week to come up with something to say about the HAVEN premiere, tonight on Syfy at 10/9c, but I’ve been facing a big problem.  Based on the pilot episode alone, HAVEN is not good enough to make me list it atop must see TV this summer, but at the same time, it’s not a bad enough show to lump it into my “please avoid at all costs” list (certain current Monday shows on ABC Family, you
