TV v. Film: The Benefits of Time
Dan from Tifaux is back with us today with yet another way in which TV is superior to film: it has the time to be. The brevity and economy of film is one of its assets. Although, if you ask me, movies are getting way too long these days. (But you didn’t. So nevermind.) It’s a [...]

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
