After all, there’ve got to be some shows worth getting excited about, right? Now that I’m currently taking a long break from teaching, I’m starting to feel [...]

As part of my fall cleaning efforts, I am viewing every returning show with a critical eye: should this show stay on my very crowded television schedule? It was with that attitude that I went into last night’s episode of Pushing Daisies. Forty-two highly stylized minutes later, I have my answer, and it is a [...]

ABC, 8:00 The vice-presidential debate is tonight, and, really, it is every American’s duty to watch Sarah Palin [...]

Something terrible has happened. This last week, I discovered that I need to watch less TV. No, I didn’t have some sort of epiphany about how I was wasting my life on the sofa, or decide that turning off the TV would reduce my carbon footprint. I simply ran out of time. Apparently, running two sites [...]

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
