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.
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.
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.
You have to get past certain goofy elements, like the vampire on the football team bit, but then the show decides it has to stop introducing you to its story, and actually start having a story, and there really is some meat to the thing.
While certain shows are getting the lion’s share of attention over at HBO, two shows are returning for second seasons that shouldn’t be overlooked. Bored to Death won me over with its first season, even if it did take a few episodes, and Eastbound & Down’s peculiar brand of craziness had me enjoying that effort as well.
I’m apparently rather behind on this one, but Film.com brought this to my attention today. I’m even more behind than normal, because this apparently a big enough internet sensation that the response to its internet sensation status is already on the internet as well.
The title may call this a review, and I’ll give you my take on the bonuses, but a true review at this point is only trumped in meaninglessness by a review of the complete series, also out on DVD. No positive or negative commentary on the show, or its final season, is going to sway anyone about anything.
Finally on board with something that: will hopefully get a solid run, is getting a great push, features him prominently, and I actually like (one or two of those before perhaps, but not all of them), the Covert Affairs star is getting yet another push this week with an Auggie-centric episode, “Communication Breakdown.”
I hope you’re still having fun with Covert Affairs, and I have another Q & A for you. This time, with Chris Gorham who plays Auggie.
I was a bit hesitant about this show after the pilot, largely because I wasn’t sure it was exactly clear which directions it was going to aim in a variety of ways. I’m pretty happy with it so far, and stay tuned, because in the next day or two I will have a preview review of the next episode, which focuses a good deal on Auggie.
Warner Bros. DVD2Blu has offered you the ability to upgrade by sending in your standard format discs, and for a small upcharge, sending you back the Blu-Ray release.
There is little about True Blood that isn’t surprising, especially once we get past the show’s phenomenal success, but something that has struck me is the seemingly never-ending supply of products the show is spinning out in the hopes of enticing fans to help promote it.
The Next Food Network Star has stayed precisely true to the path it has now been on for at least three seasons. If you’ve been around, you’ve heard this before, but I’m not a fan of many shows on the network, and the shows I do watch aren’t the cooking shows. Every season, I watch along as Next Food Network Star narrows the field down to one person who convinces me that I might actually be interested to watch their show, and a person that there is no way I could possibly stand to watch. I’m sure you know where the story goes from there.
Investigation Discovery is kicking off a new show on Wednesday, and I thought it was worth mentioning. Who the (Bleep) Did I Marry?, following in the footsteps of the networks other brilliantly self-explanatory titles, gives you the stories of marriages with secrets. Not those pesky, “normal” secrets, but the kind that leave our duped spouses truly unable to believe the circumstances of their lives.
There are many difficult things to do in the realm of television, but taking a show I can’t stand, and turning into something I’m looking forward to (statistically speaking) is about the hardest thing there is.
Following the success of ABC Family’s original movie My Fake Fiance (nope, totally serious), the dripping with nostalgic cuteness couple of Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence are back together for a new series.
Few shows on television have so far surpassed that from which they were spun off, while at the same time rendering that statement so meaningless.
TNT‘s hit series The Closer is now available (seasons 1-5) in HD for download via iTunes. In celebration of this release, the first availability to own the show in HD, Kyra has picked out her favorite 15 episodes, which you can see and own as one collection.
I remember watching The Kids in the Hall on HBO long ago. So long actually, that out of respect for the boys I won’t tell you when. It was far enough back that I probably wasn’t supposed to be watching it. Ahhh… the crushing of the heads.
