Speed Reviews: New Dramas
It’s nearly October, and I’ve still barely made a dent in writing about all the new shows this year. I have an excellent reason for this: most of the shows bore me silly. Out of respect to my short attention span, I offer the 25-word review. Reaper: The other show featuring a twenty-something mega-mart employee with [...]

I have never watched more than five minutes of a football game at once, despite growing up with a brother who was a rabid 49ers fan. I hated pretty much every minute I spent in high school, convinced that life would dramatically improve the moment I graduated (thankfully, I was right). I have the sort [...]

The fun part of having a slightly obsessive personality is the way I can disappear into other worlds for days on end, exploring and playing, discovering new things. For instance, once a year, I decide it’s time to buy a house, so I read up on real estate prices in various cities, compare mortgage rates, [...]

My television obsessions come and go, though I like to think that this is due less to a fickle nature than to the difficulty in maintaining a consistently good program over several years. My first obsession, the show that I refused to miss, was Twin Peaks. Fortunately, my friends shared this love, and we spent [...]

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.

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
