Musings on The Glee Project from someone who just started watching The Glee Project
I watched the first few minutes of the initial episode of The Glee Project and then realized I didn’t really care that much. Fast forward a handful of weeks later, throw in the accessibility of multiple episodes OnDemand and a girlfriend who didn’t want to watch some of the scripted series I’d hoped she would…

Mid-season finale: White Collar, “Countdown”
I’m kinda-sorta coming out of my self-induced new series hiatus to talk about the mid-season finale of White Collar. I HOPE YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE SACRIFICES I MAKE FOR YOU.

Series Finale — Friday Night Lights, “Always”
One LAST TIME, this is the review I wrote during FNL‘s DirecTV run. I will be completely honest with you, I’ve avoided reviewing the last handful of episodes of Friday Night Lights because it’s just been too damn hard to let go. From “Fracture” onward, I’ve basically been left in a heaping ball of my…

Season Premiere — Warehouse 13, “The New Guy”
Syfy’s Warehouse 13 is not a great program, but it one of television’s most purely enjoyable hours and certainly one of the more underrated programs out there.

True Blood, “If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin’?”
I tweeted earlier tonight that I’m now fairly convinced that I was just an idiot when I thought True Blood was kind of a good television program. But what I am realizing is that I think I only thought these things for like six weeks, sometime near the middle part of season two. Those glorious…
