Pilot rapid-fire review: Terra Nova
The next couple weeks are going to be insane. There are so many new series debuting and unfortunately, there is only so much time in the day for me to write about television while balancing my “real” life. You know, the one I spend on Twitter. ANYWAY, I’m going to try to touch on each…

Season Premiere review — Fringe, “Neither Here Nor There”
I’m short on time this weekend, but I wanted to jot down a few thoughts on the season four premiere of Fringe. This post will be brief. Fringe is in a weird position. Or at least it seems that way to me. Season three discarded all pretensions and presumptions of general popularity and dove quickly and…

Season Premiere review — Community, “Biology 101”
If you’ve read any of the articles, spoiler dumps and interviews with the Community cast and crew published since season two ended, you’ve probably gathered that season three is going to be more character-based and less “big event”-based. In the most simplistic terms, you could say that Community season three is going to be more…

#TVFail Entry 10: The Wire, “Unconfirmed Reports”
The accused: The Wire, “Unconfirmed Reports” (Season 5, Episode 2) The crime: Stretching verisimilitude a bit too thin in the most verisimilitude-y series ever Television’s failures are supposed to be obvious. From the overhyped non-starters that flop from the very beginning (hello, FlashForward, Lone Star) to the much-discussed clumsy conclusions of series we were convinced had it all planned out…

Season Premiere review — Glee, “The Purple Piano Project”
Glee is a formulaic series. For all its insanity, uneven character work and ridiculous logic, we pretty much know exactly what to expect from the series on a weekly basis. Ryan Murphy and company have pin-pointed a few things that they think the audience enjoys and they just keep hammering away with them. This isn’t…

Tuesdays with Walt: “Salud”
There are loads of great critics writing Breaking Bad reviews every Sunday night/Monday morning. Because of skill and scheduling, I’m not going to be able to stand alongside those reviews. Instead, I hope to write something about Breaking Bad each Tuesday when I have more time and perhaps you are ready for a new day’s…

2011 Primetime Emmys: Clear eyes, full hearts, moderate confusion
I don’t have a whole lot to say about tonight’s Emmy ceremony, if only because I said so many things on Twitter tonight that I’m mostly over talking about it already. This also might have something to do with the fact that I barely guessed any of the major winners correctly, which isn’t the worst…

2011 Primetime Emmy Predictions: Outstanding Drama and Comedy Series
The 2011 Primetime Emmys are so close! September 18th to be exact. Up until the ceremony airs on FOX, I’ll be working through most of the major categories and discussing who could win, who should win and of course, who will win. I’ll likely be tackling two categories in each post, just so you know. Well…

Season Premiere review — The Vampire Diaries, “The Birthday”
One of The Vampire Diaries greatest strengths is its ability to come up with wild plot twists that seem both entirely crazy and completely believable at the same time. There have been roughly 9,000 insane developments in the first two seasons alone. And I might be understating it a bit. At this point, we expect…

Series Premiere review — The Secret Circle, “Pilot”
The Secret Circle is going to be around for a long time. With Kevin Williamson’s name on it and a cushy timeslot behind The Vampire Diaries, there is just no way this series isn’t a “CW-sized” hit. I am totally fine with this and I will certainly be watching Secret Circle all season. However, because…
