I hope you're all ready for tomorrow's premiere of New Girl at 9/8 Central on FOX. If you need more info, catch the review here. Zooey Deschanel was on a press call recently that I got to take part in, and if her ability to charm a group of interviewers is any judge, the show just might make quite a splash.

If you tried to sell me the premise for The Switch, you wouldn't have a lot of luck. Even after telling me that Jason Bateman was going to be in it, as he's a personal favorite, you'd probably have a tough time of it.

Her new DVD, Kathy Griffin - She'll Cut A Bitch, is her stand-up show filmed in Portland, but with a lot of footage that never aired in broadcasts. In … [Read more...]

I was nervous because it seemed like the kind of show that might run out of steam around the fifth episode, and while the cast was great, it wasn't obvious how much long-term ability the writers could manage with the concept.
