TV, TV: Where Did Our Love Go?
My life has changed quite a bit in the last couple of months. I went from working in a respectable career, earning this remarkable thing called “money”, to being an impoverished student whose primary source of income was the weekly pub quiz.

Good news for Dexter fans, it’s been renewed for two more years, continuing Showtime’s dominance over HBO in the original series category. Who would have ever guessed that a show about a serial killer would last five seasons? Speaking of HBO, they’ve picked up Curb Your Enthusiasm for yet another season. Fans of dry, ironic comedy [...]

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s this thing going on in America at the moment called a Presidential Election. It’s kind of a big deal, apparently. And in recognition of that fact, the BBC has busted out its big guns and sent two of its finest small-screen stars across the pond, to report [...]

Monday’s top picks: There’s something for everyone on Monday night. How I Met Your Mother still makes me laugh every week, which is something I never thought I’d say for a CBS comedy. CBS, 8:30 Chuck also still makes me laugh. So does Heroes, which follows it, though I’m pretty sure Chuck is the only one that’s [...]

If you’ve been rewatching your Firefly box set in order to get your Nathan Fillion fix, Spike.com has got your back. PG Porn is a James Gunn short that features the majestically-armed one as a frisky, acting-impaired carpenter. Definitely worth a view. Still bitter about Deadwood’s cancellation? Then here’s an item for your Christmas list. HBO [...]

Poor TV. It often gets such a bad rap in comparison to its larger screened cousin, cinema. No matter how much respect TV has earned over the years, and how many wonderful opportunities it provides actors, most TV actors seem to long for movie roles at some point in their careers. Of course, for most [...]

Usually, I feel it’s not really fair to judge an entire series on its pilot episode. Premiere or pilot episodes are often a bit clunky; the actors haven’t settled into their roles yet, the sets have a tendency to look cheap and unfinished (because they often are), and the entire thing is really just a [...]

Wednesday’s top picks: Pushing Daisies is worth watching tonight, if only because it will provide an opportunity to use the phrase “undercover nuns.” ABC, 9:00 As much as I’m ready to give up on Project Runway, I’ll still be watching tonight’s finale. Bravo, 9:00 Share This

Exhibit A for why I love this show.

Chuck also still makes me laugh. So does Heroes, which follows it, though I’m pretty sure Chuck is the only one that’s intentionally funny. NBC, 8:00 and 9:00
For cheesy goodness, Gossip Girl’s second season has more than lived up to the promise of the first one. Chuck may be the greatest soap villain since Amanda Woodward first flexed her claws. CW, 8:00
