Station Break
If you could see me right now, you would see the very picture of shame-facedness. Of embarrassed dejection. Maybe even of desperate humility as I beg you, my fabulous readers, to bear with PV’s radio silence for a bit longer. There are a fair number of changes afoot in my life right now. While this doesn’t [...]

This week has been all about old shows’ season finales and new shows at the upfronts, and the TV Blog Coalition has got you covered on both fronts. Between Girlfriends, Jericho, Aliens in America and many others, there are plenty of newly canceled shows to mourn. Buzz wants to know: Which one bums you out the [...]

It’s that time of year again. Dust off your gold lamé suit, pour yourself one hell of a stiff drink and carefully readjust your irony meter — it’s Eurovision time! Fergus and I have been training for this by watching early 80s music videos while listening to overly earnest progressive rock and Swedish pop music, and [...]

Beverly Hills 90210, S02 E03: Summer Storm Last week: Brandon realised that the lives of the denizens of the Beach Club were not as glamorous as he thought, and Brenda communed with her inner child. This week: Dylan moves in with the Walshes following a surfing accident, and Jim behaves like the arsiest arse who ever [...]

All our old favorites are wrapping up their seasons (with varying degrees of success, sadly), and we are facing a long summer, barren of quality original programming. But wait! The networks have already released their 2008-2009 schedules, teasing us with all the brilliant new shows we can expect come September. Yes, some interesting series are [...]

Doctor Who, S04 E07: The Unicorn and the Wasp This week: we get possibly the downright silliest episode of the new Who. And yet, despite herself, Anna is entertained. Share This

Today, the web is abuzz with news of the latest American Idol winner (or as abuzz as one can be about a topic very few people seem to care about), but here at PV, we’re looking ahead to the true talent contest of the year: Eurovision. Yes, this Saturday, the countries of Europe pit their [...]

Excuse me for getting all intellectual on your collective asses this week, but I have for once been indulging in some television which actually has redeeming educational value. I know! I was shocked too. Don’t worry, I’m still hooked on Britain’s Next Top Model and I have yet to find a better ironing companion than [...]

20. May 2008 Posted by Marcia
As this TV season winds down, networks are already gearing up for next season. Sadly, it turns out that Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse won’t be premiering till next January, but for those who simply can’t wait, here’s the first sneak peak of the new series. Share This

19. May 2008 Posted by Marcia
Of course, the one week I need to take off is the same week the season finales start to air and the networks hold their upfronts. More on the latter later this week, but I can at least write a bit about the former. What to do when I’m so far behind that I have [...]

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.
Heroes returns September 22, and it looks awfully shiny and pretty. I’m looking forward to giving it another chance, even with Sylar still in play. Stupid Sylar.
PV's TV 
Wednesday’s top picks:
The premieres keep coming fast and furious. Tonight, Bones and Booth find a whole new continent on which to bicker in their incessant yet charming way when they travel to England to help solve a murder. Fox, 8:00America’s Next Top Model is also back, featuring its very first transgendered contestant. I’m sure this is Tyra’s bid for greater tolerance among the viewers, and in no way a shameless ratings ploy. CW, 8:00
Of course, Project Runway keeps plugging along, on a season that has produced little drama and, even worse, not a single spectacular outfit. And yet, I can’t stop watching. Mainly because I chose to recap the damn thing. Bravo, 9:00
