5 Thoughts About the Emmy Nominations
The Emmy nominations were announced yesterday and, as usual, the list contained its fair share of expected names along with a few surprises. Here, then, are five utterly random thoughts about the nominations. 5. HBO’s John Adams led the pack with 23 nominations. Huh. Maybe I should have watched that, historical inaccuracies be damned. 4. While the [...]

Project Runway, S05 E01: Let’s Start From The Beginning It’s that time again. Welcome back to yet another season of fabulousness, bitchery, and some truly ridiculous outfits. If the first episode is anything to go by, it’s going to be a…dare I say it?…fierce fifth season. Just not necessarily in terms of the fashion produced. Full [...]

So, last time I posted I wrote about the BBC’s new reality show to find a disabled super model, and you might have thought that the Beeb had reached the pinnacle of the bizarre with that show, but you would be wrong. New heights on bizzaro mountain have been reached this week, with BBC 2’s [...]

Right, then. Let’s talk Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It’s fairly certain that no 13-minute Internet video has ever received quite so many blog inches in the history of the Internet, and I was as guilty as anyone of hyperbole and over-excitement. In theory, it sounded like, quite possibly, the greatest thing ever. So how did it [...]

Yesterday, I considered doing an entire week of posts about fun summer television. It’s July, I’m happy, why not celebrate all the light-hearted fare available at the moment? But then something happened this morning that was very much not fun. It was, in fact, anti-fun. At 8:00, gigantic mug of coffee firmly in hand, I happily [...]

Sure, I’m on summer holiday, but tomorrow I’ll be setting my alarm clock and getting up at the painfully early hour of 8:00. What could inspire me to inflict such suffering on myself? Only Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, of course, The first episode premieres at 8:00 am here in the UK, and will be shown [...]

Summer is clearly meant to be a time of fun. It’s the season when people break out their lawn chairs, smallest clothes, and pitchers of margaritas and do their best to live in the moment, one afternoon at a time. Summer is not a time for deep thought. Why do you think all those famous [...]

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
