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

Is it just me, or did last night’s Heroes show some badly needed signs of life? A month ago, I wrote about a few ways the show could improve, and I’m pleased to report that someone listened to me (until I hear otherwise, I see no reason not to take credit). This felt like an episode [...]

And, really, with its dialogue and bloated cast, I had a right to be concerned. This year, I am watching [...]

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
