I have to come right out and be honest, and tell you that, as huge a fan of PSYCH as I am, one or two episodes this season have let me down a bit. I’m not absolutely sure why that is, but I think that we have come to a point in the show where overplaying the general doubt in Spencer’s abilities is actually annoying.
Much like the oft-compared (even rather brilliantly within the show) The Mentalist, or something like House, after the first dozen or so times our heroes turn out to be right, it would be nice if the rest of the cast opened to the idea that they might be right.
Despite my misgivings about a couple of episodes, you don’t want to miss the next one. With not only LOST‘s Nestor Carbonell, but also Tears for Fears‘ Curt Smith appearing both in person and as theme song re-interpreter, and with a plot that involves Carbonell as “Shawn 2.0,” this one is dripping with potential. Make sure you check it out tonight at 10/9c.

If you’re familiar with my tastes at all, you probably know that a quirky number like The Freebie is right up my alley. At least, theoretically.
Whether it all comes together is another thing entirely, but just from the description, trailer, and some of the background info (like the involvement of Mark Duplass), I’m on board.
The subject might cause some to roll their eyes, but it’s an interesting entry into some real questions, and it looks like a lot of fun. Check out the trailer, and visit the films website – http://www.untie-theknot.com/

You may be thinking to yourself that Hell’s Kitchen just ended, and of course you’d be right, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t about to start again… because it is. The eighth installment of the show is kicking of September 22nd, and (assuming various points-of-view) it looks like a good one.
The past two seasons have started off somewhat rough, giving us both a walk off and the unforgettable invitation for Gordon to step outside. This season leads us in with previews of a group of cheftestants who are apparently a little less willing to take what Ramsay dishes out.
Still, it looks like a well-rounded group, and first show staple “signature dishes” gives us new highs and lows for us to run with. Check out the new contestants, and let me know where you are with this show. Personally, I’d rather jump into more Kitchen Nightmares, but for his fans, I suppose any chance to hear him yell will work.

I have to admit from the start that the popularity of Dancing with the Stars completely eludes me. It was an interesting bit of fun the first time around, but mainly for its novelty value. There was a nice combination of showcasing famous people, and giving them something to do that was mildly entertaining without being embarrassing simply for the sake of being embarrassing.
The second and third seasons had a few moments of interest, even if the biggest tune-in sell was watching people who weren’t any good, rather than watching any “talent” take shape. Now, however, I just don’t get it anymore. Much like the Circus of the Stars of days gone by, the novelty is over, “Stars” is becoming more and more loosely defined, and we are thus at a point where we have to come clean and admit we’re watching ballroom dancing. And, much as we eventually had to say to ourselves, “Wait a minute. I don’t watch any other circus shows. What am I doing?” we are going to have to take a serious look at why we’re tuning in.
