Scrubs...?

2008-03-07T07:17:06Z

Apparently ABC wants to carry it next year. Personally, I got so fed up with all the scheduling fits and starts over the past couple of years, I'd pretty much made my peace with seeing NBC wrap it up this year. Maybe if ABC can handle it better....

Post-Strike Show Returns

2008-02-26T07:00:58Z

There's a list at EW of how many episodes of each show will be produced this season (if any), and when they'll begin to air. I'm just going to list the ones relevant to me here, for my own quick reference: Desperate Housewives - 4 or 5, late Apri...

Not Just Strike Filler

2008-02-25T07:15:17Z

I don't watch the AMC site, but I probably should. Because I know I miss great classic movies all the time, and I nearly didn't catch their fantastic new original series, Breaking Bad. I might have caught on eventually, through Entertainment Week...

The Hype That Ate New York

2008-01-27T16:46:56Z

See, you have to go in knowing what to expect. Which is a thriller, plain and simple, and not the twisty-plotsy surprise! stuff that you're used to getting from Bad Robot. So with that in mind, it wasn't bad, especially if you willfully ignore...

They'll be Replacing it with "Battle of the Chihuahuas: Unleashed!"

2007-12-20T15:28:23Z

Obviously, it hasn't been a great fall for television so far. I'm still reeling over love found and and so soon lost, if only "temporarily" (Pushing Daisies). Time to step up the Netflix consumption -- BBC and HBO, here we come. It's not likely t...

A Little Self-Promotion

2007-10-12T23:08:05Z

(cross-posted from spinning-jennie) If you're an Office fan, you might be familiar with the Dunder Mifflin Infinity game, with which I've been playing along. Well, the results from our first task are in, and I won our branch logo contest! I was ...
