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,

Previewing NIKITA with Tiffany Hines

Everyone should know by now that NIKITA is one of my favorite new shows this season.  I think Maggie Q is fantastic, love what Lyndsy Fonseca is bringing to the table, and really enjoy the scenes that explore the relationships between people at Division.  One of those people, Jaden played by the lovely Tiffany Hines, showed some strong feelings last week, when she went after Alex in the computer room. I had the chance to speak with Tiffany about what’s

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.

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

Fall Pilot Review – THE WHOLE TRUTH on ABC

What? THE WHOLE TRUTH employs a unique alternating narrative structure that chronicles the way a case is built from the perspectives of both the defense and the prosecution. Portraying each side equally keeps the audience guessing – shifting allegiances and opinions on guilt or innocence until the final scene.  Kathryn Peale, the product of a New England background and a sheriff father, is a Deputy Bureau Chief in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office. Jimmy Brogan, born and raised in Hell’s
