Easy to be Team Eric on 'True Blood'

Paige Newman — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:00:00 GMT

Has there been a show more fun than this season’s “True Blood.” It reminds me how ponderous some of my other favorite dramas can get. Meanwhile, Jason Stackhouse is trying to figure out if Sam could turn into a chicken and lay and eat his own eggs....(read more)

Welcome back, Tim Gunn! 'Runway' returns

Paige Newman — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:05:00 GMT

Wow, have I ever been missing “Project Runway.” Heck, I even watched Bravo’s pale imitation, “The Fashion Show,” which mostly just made me realize how much Tim Gunn adds to “Runway.” Kelly Rowland, you’re no Gunn. ...(read more)

Shows we want to see on DVD

Gael Fashingbauer Cooper — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 10:00:00 GMT

Finally, "thirtysomething" is coming to DVD. What about other shows that have long been off the air, yet aren't available for home viewing?...(read more)

Reruns, schmeruns: Watch TV on DVD

Gael Fashingbauer Cooper — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:00:00 GMT

I'd argue that many television shows are best watched on DVD. It's how I got caught up on such gems as "The Shield," "The Wire," "Gilmore Girls," "House" and "My Name Is Earl." ...(read more)

Ready to abandon 'Entourage'

Paige Newman — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:00:00 GMT

Sometimes when a TV show starts to go bad, I just can’t look away. It’s a mystery that demands to be solved. What went wrong? How did a show that was once fresh and new grow tired and clichéd? “Entourage,” I’m talking to you. ...(read more)

'So You Think You Can' pick a winner?

Paige Newman — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:00:00 GMT

As if summer weren’t delightful enough, it’s also the season of my favorite reality show, “So You Think You Can Dance.” Each year, much to the amusement of my co-workers, I get totally involved with this show about dancers trying to become America’s favorite, not best, dancer. Now that we’re down to eight dancers, I’ve have a few favorites I’m rooting for. ...(read more)

Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock ... Emmy!

Denise Hazlick — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:01:00 GMT

A year or so ago, my parents were singing the praises of CBS's Monday night comedy lineup, most notably "Two And A Half Men," and their new favorite show, "The Big Bang Theory." Not being a big fan of the "Men," I was dubious about "Bang" as well. But one Monday night, I decided to give it a try. Mom, Dad ... I will never doubt you again (well, except for "Men.")....(read more)

Oh, the drama! Emmy drama picks

Paige Newman — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:00:00 GMT

The main problem I’ve always had with the Emmys is that there’s almost a force of habit when it comes to the nomination picks. Once a show gets in, it stays in. A great show can have a crappy season, but Emmy never seems to realize it....(read more)

Emmy preview: Time to get real

Gael Fashingbauer Cooper — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:00:00 GMT

Love them or hate them, reality shows are here to stay, and they're even in the Emmy running. How about some love for Tom Bergeron, already? ...(read more)

By George, the old O'Malley will be missed

Gael Fashingbauer Cooper — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 09:00:00 GMT

I'd say I'll miss Dr. George O'Malley on "Grey's Anatomy," but everything that made the character charming vanished long ago....(read more)
