(BuzzSugar) If you know the significance of the ‘bench dance’, understand the genius of Mia Michaels, and secretly want to be on the Hot Tamale Train then you should check out GMMR & Ducky’s So You Think You Can Dance [...]

There has been a sad lack of Friday 5s lately. Since I’m moving in a week, I’ve been forced to spend less time writing and more time wrapping up my life in England and packing up the small mountain of stuff that clearly mates and multiplies every time I leave the house. It’s not right [...]

Right now, there are a fair number of decent shows on the summer schedule. Okay, three. Maybe four. Still, it’s enough, in theory, to tide me over for a bit. Plus, right now I should be packing, preparing for the big move in a week’s time. This, of course, explains why I decided it was [...]

He’ll be missed. Here he is, doing his classic “Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television” bit. Extremely NSFW, obviously, unless you work for Al Swearengen. Share This

Doctor Who, S04 E10: Midnight This week: the Doctor is under threat in one of the most chilling episodes yet. This episode was good. Really, really good. In fact, it was one of the best episodes of the revived Who ever. And pretty much all of it took place in one small space, with hardly any special [...]

Up on my iPlayer, and also airing on BBC3 this week, is the spoof documentary Summer Heights High, the Beeb’s latest Australian import. This show, which, in the best tradition of The Office, presents itself as a fly-on-the-wall view of a typical Australian high school, has been fairly universally panned by British TV critics. But screw [...]

Every summer, I bemoan the loss of all my favorite shows, and every summer, the networks throw me a few bones to keep me entertained throughout the warm months. (Yes, I know that summer is supposed to be spent outside, enjoying margaritas on patios and long walks in the sunshine, but I live in the [...]

When Weeds first aired in 2005, I had absolutely no interest in watching the show. After all, it was on Showtime, and three years ago everyone knew HBO was the cable channel with all the good shows (my, how times have changed — take heart, little CW!). Plus, it was about a pot-dealing mom in [...]

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
