5 New Shows I’m Looking Forward To

Friday, April 11, 2008

5 Comments

Granted, all the networks have yet to reveal their schedules for next year, but in the wake of NBC’s unveiling of their fall schedule, I’m already getting a bit excited about what will be on the tube this September. Hey, after this pathetic excuse for a TV season, it takes very little to excite me. [...]

Last week, Scooter asked fellow TV bloggers to compile a list of their current favorite television characters. What better way to celebrate the slow return of scripted television than by honoring those characters that keep us tuning in each week? This Friday 5 names my personal favorites, though I’ve got to say, it was nearly [...]

So much news! Some of it isn’t exactly hot off the presses, I confess, but it’s all important TV news and, therefore, still Tidbit-worthy. THR is reporting that the CW is in talks to produce a contemporary version of Beverly Hills 90210. Yes, you read that correctly. However, before I could bury my head in my [...]

Tidbits for February 19, 2008: The Super-Sized Edition

I’ve gotten a bit behind on reporting the news this last week, an unfortunate side effect of living in a society that insists on practicing a service-for-currency system. It seems ludicrous that work should ever take priority over television reporting, I know. In an attempt to get caught up, today’s tidbits are coming at you [...]

Son of TV Haiku

Project Runway took the week off, but there was a surprising amount of new programming this last week. Enough, in fact, that there’s only one way to cover it all: more TV haiku! American Idol Yes, I’m still watching Though I feel unclean and Would like Paula’s drugs. Eli Stone Maybe it’s just me But based on the latest shows Quirky’s the new [...]

5 Great Television Moments of 2007

Friday, December 28, 2007

5 Comments

In a year full of some dreadful television moments (the cancellation of Veronica Mars, the slow death of scripted programming, the triumph of Eric and Danielle on The Amazing Race), we can at least give thanks for these glowing sparks of light in the broadcast darkness. 5. The Panthers win state! The Panthers win state! Forget [...]

Some good news for two of my favorite shows: The Amazing Race has been picked up for its 13th season, which is no real surprise given the networks’ current reality-TV-is-our-savior attitude. In less-expected news, Friday Night Lights finds itself in a strong position for 2008, with six episodes left to air and steady ratings, particularly among the [...]

The Week in Review: TV Haiku

One busy weekend, and already it feels like I will never catch up again. Well, not until January, at least, when I will suddenly have to sit through old episodes of The Cosby Show or TJ Hooker in order to find something to write about. There’s something to look forward to. In order to save time, [...]

Jumping the Shark and Other Tricks: Heroes, House and Friday Night Lights

Wednesday, November 7, 2007

2 Comments

Being a fan of an American TV drama means always waiting for a favorite show to jump the shark. It seems unavoidable. Unlike shows from other countries, which have a limited number of seasons and episodes, US shows tend to stay on the air until they stop making money — and the only way that [...]

Friday Night Lights: Stealing My Snark

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 [...]
