Beautiful Things About Ugly Betty
Guest poster Alexis Kienlen has a few things to say about Ugly Betty. I’m always late to TV shows, since I prefer to watch TV on DVD. I’ve only seen the first season of Ugly Betty, but I knew after a couple of episodes the show was a gem and I was ready to follow America [...]

The second series of Torchwood finished last night in the US, so I’m going to pretend that I deliberately avoided writing about it after its UK airing in order to not spoil anyone (rather than admit that I forgot about it). Of course, after nearly giving up on the show mid-season, the final episode was excellent. [...]

Perhaps I can’t see the Emmy Awards, but at least I get to enjoy their British equivalent, the BAFTA Television Awards, a two-hour lovefest in which shows that Americans have never heard of get their mostly-deserved praise. The live blogging starts after the jump. Share This

(BuzzSugar) This week, Sandie posted the first part from our Alex O’Loughlin interview [...]

18. April 2008 Posted by Marcia
Television does love their guest stars. Ratings sinking? Show on the bubble? Bring in someone more famous than the regular stars and hope for the best. Sure, sometimes it ends up being little more than a ratings-grabbing stunt, and on a weaker show it is more likely to reveal the show’s flaws than to produce [...]

Doctor Who, S04 E01-02: Partners in Crime and The Fires of Pompeii Okay, I was wrong. Not once but several times did I declare, on this very site, that Catherine Tate (whom I described as “shouty and annoying”) would be a disaster when she returned to Doctor Who as the Doctor’s new companion. And yet…well, after [...]

16. April 2008 Posted by Marcia
Something rather unexpected has happened recently. I’m not enjoying TV as much. I’m sure it’s just a phase; you can’t keep a good couch potato down for long. However, as the post-strike episodes begin to trickle onto the airwaves, I find myself with the same response over and over again: yawn. After waiting months for The [...]
Continue reading...Nibbling on Top Chef
I recently tried to explain to a friend why I watch Top Chef, and I had to admit that my reasoning was a bit weak. “Well, you watch a bunch of chefs cook stuff under frequently ridiculous conditions. Then, you watch the judges eat it, and someone gets sent home.” Are you inspired to tune [...]

(Buzz Sugar) This week Sandie teases us about her visit of the set of Moonlight with a picture of Alex O’Loughlin and of Jason Dohring, as well as a clip from Alex O’Loughlin’s interview. There will be [...]

Granted, all the networks have yet to reveal their schedules for next year, but in the wake of NBC’s unveiling of their fall schedule, I’m already getting a bit excited about what will be on the tube this September. Hey, after this pathetic excuse for a TV season, it takes very little to excite me. [...]

Exhibit A for why I love this show.
The BBC has released the first trailer for Merlin, the 13-episode retelling of the famous fantasy saga. The series will also air on NBC this winter.
Kristen Chenoweth uses the power of song to explain exactly why crystal meth is a bad thing. Some NSFW language.

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 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
