Season 2 of HOMELAND ended with a literal and figurative bomb being dropped on the country – someone set Brody up (or did they) for an actual bombing at the CIA that killed a large number of people, while someone released the video of Brody admitting his role as a soldier for Abu Nazir. Carrie Matheson sent her love (Brody) on the lam, across the Canadian border, and returned to Saul (now acting commander) at the CIA.
After the HOMELAND S3 premiere tonight on Showtime, be sure that you’re sticking around for the best drama of the 2013-2014 season, MASTERS OF SEX, starring Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan. Sheen and Caplan play William Masters and Virginia Johnson, pioneers of research relating to the human sexual response, plus research into sexual disorders and dysfunctions, from 1957 through the 1990s.
One of my favorite new shows from last season’s new crop was ELEMENTARY, starring Jonny Lee Miller as Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as his companion, Joan Watson. What started as a solid pilot with great chemistry between the leads (platonic chemistry, which is wonderful), turned into a can’t-miss season featuring ups and downs, and some really great work by a cast of my favorites. I’m pleased to say that their Season 2 premiere, set and shot in London (which
A day without new episodes of PARKS AND RECREATION is a day too long, am I right? The 6th Season Premiere of the show airs tonight at 8/7c and we’re getting a full hour! When we left our friends in Pawnee, Leslie was about to be recalled; she and Ben were perfect. Chris and Ann were trying to have a baby. April and Andy were perfection, and Andy was trying to figure out who was pregnant. Tom’s business was being
Tonight on CBS, taking over the 9/8c slot, is the latest comedy offering THE CRAZY ONES. CBS tells us “Academy Award winner Robin Williams returns to series television in THE CRAZY ONES, a single-camera workplace comedy about a larger-than-life advertising genius whose unorthodox methods and unpredictable behavior would get him fired… if he weren’t the boss. Simon Roberts is the head of a powerful agency, with the biggest clients and brands in the world, but even more important to him
It seems fitting that my 2000th post on the site would be a bit of a love letter to one of the best shows on TV – PARENTHOOD – which returns to NBC tonight at 10/9c for Season 5 on an all new night, with all new stories sure to make me laugh, cry, and fall a little bit more in love with everything about the show as time goes by.
Michael J Fox hasn’t exactly been out of our lives since he revealed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in ’99 and subsequently left SPIN CITY a short time later – guest parts on dramas like BOSTON LEGAL, RESCUE ME (loved it), and most recently THE GOOD WIFE, have kept Alex P Keaton around. But it has been a while since we’ve gotten to see Fox do what we know he’s great at: headline a sitcom with his typical sarcastic style of comedy.
The Double Takes are back this season as Amrie and I offer up our opinions of some new fall shows without knowing what the other is thinking.

Tonight on ABC, one of my favorite new series of the 2013-2014 season kicks off at 9:30/8:30c. What show you ask? TROPHY WIFE, starring Bradley Whitford (never a bad decision), Malin Akerman, Marcia Gay Harden, Michaela Watkins, and Natalie Morales. As the image above shows you – Pete and Kate are married (she’s wife #3). He was previously married to Diane (Harden) and they have two kids: Hillary and Warren. He was then married to Jackie (Watkins) and they adopted
The Double Takes are back this season as Amrie and I offer up our opinions of some new fall shows without knowing what the other is thinking. In most cases this season, it seems we tend to disagree ha! However, this next DT is one about which we DEFINITELY do agree – LUCKY 7 on ABC. LUCKY 7 tells the story of a ragtag bunch of folks that work at a run down gas station / car shop. Their lives
