I recently read a witty review on the premiere episode of the American spin-off for the series, Skins. In the mostly spot-on review, it was made clear that one of the most charming, and more importantly, authentic characteristics of the high school set show is the use of age-appropriate actors and actresses. The show uses [...]

Pretty (check) Little (double check) Liars (nope)
Posted in Episode Re-Cap, tagged ABC Family, Pretty Little Liars on March 8, 2011 | 1 Comment »
It’s no secret that I jones hard for Pretty Little Liars. It doesn’t matter that I’ll be turning 24 this year or that PLL is an ABC Family (ugh) hit show. No sir. I defy conventions. Or rather, fall into them? Whatever. I like it and that’s that. This week’s episode was especially superb. There [...]
Last Week’s Winner: Greek
Posted in This Week's Winners, tagged ABC Family, Greek, Parks & Recreation, Southland on January 31, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Parks & Rec was superb. Southland left me breathless. But the best new episode of anything I watched last week? Greek. It was, dare I say, charming? I found myself laughing, and smiling, and getting a little sad. We saw all the characters go through a little something but it didn’t feel rushed or forced. [...]

Marry: Christmas Specials I am already knee deep in Christmas movies and since it’s after Thanksgiving I no longer have to hide my enthusiasm. This weekend I watched Elf, The Santa Clause, The Santa Clause 2, This Christmas, White Christmas, the holiday episodes of Monk, Psych, two Christmas eps of Will & Grace and a [...]

(Hey folks, glad you found this post. We’re having some moving problems. Thanks for staying with us during the switch.) So it’s Saturday and I’m starting a new feature. That’s what new blogs are for folks. This one’s been on my mind since a fateful episode of 30 Rock when the cast was playing everyone’s [...]

It’s Wednesday. Let’s Talk.

So I have a few TV tidbits on my mind. Let’s dish. Despite the fact that the designers are more annoying than a giant tag on a t-shirt, it’s wretched timeslot and the fact that Bravo is trying to run it into the ground, the 5th season of Project Runway is boasting an 18% boost [...]
It’s Greek To Me
Posted in Reviews, tagged ABC Family, Greek on May 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
My blog partner wrote about her odd fascination with Greek shortly after its premiere, but even with her ringing endorsement I didn’t tune in. Teen (and 20-something) dramedies require you to know the characters. It is not easy to come in without backstory. But I finally watched the popular ABC Family show last night with [...]
My Not So Secret Obsession With “Greek”
Posted in Season Re-Cap, tagged ABC Family, Cappie, Greek on October 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
There are a few cable stations that I try to avoid. I’m not big on Spike, not really emotionally in tune with Lifetime (however Oxygen has its wide array of acceptable programming…sort of), and I’m certainly not interested in the Sci-Fi channel. Among this list used to be ABC Family. I’m not 12, so that [...]
