“Pilot” This past weekend, the scientific sexual revolution themed Masters of Sex debuted as Showtime’s next dip into the HBO-dominated premium cable arthouse ocean. The show, based in the notoriously repressive 1950s (as much as the American 50s are regaled by so many as an idyllic utopia, there are dozens, if not hundreds…
Premiere week seems to be like Premiere month. I remember a time these shows uses to actually premiere right when school started, but now it seems they milk it out until almost Thanksgiving. I watched the Amazing Race for the first time in a long while this week. I know enough about it that its…
Teaser: explosion on the SHIELD plane and Coulson is about to get sucked out the side. Flash back to about a day earlier. Half the members are questioning why Skye is on the team. Well she’s not, she’s a consultant “Just like Tony Stark” We get more exposition about Coulson being “hurt” in the Battle…
When we last left Tig, we assumed he would be killed. Pope’s right hand man, August Marks had been gunning for Tig for a long time and finally Jax gave him up. We left the episode with Marks and Pope’s crew surrounding Tig. ….Apparently that was just another whoopity derpity “What’s Tig gonna get out…
“Tin Man Is Down” What, no Brody? It would have been a lot easier to write the Brody character out of the script if the writers had just killed him off last season like they should have, or like Damian Lewis actually seemed to have preferred. I suppose it says something about the health of…
Man, what’s become of Van Alden? This character started the series as a real force to be reckoned with, an unstoppable prohibition agent with righteousness on his side. Now, he’s basically a joke. A stoolie that’s pushed around by whatever mobster he happens to be hanging around at the time. O’Banion’s a crazy dick that…
Gahhh! This episode of the 527th (27th) season of Snorevivor was nothing spectacular. Maybe I’m being to hard on ‘ol Peachy and crew. I think I start loving Survivor after the merge when they eat each other (not for real, as this is in the 8 o’clock slot). The biggest happening of this eppy was…
TV premieres are well under way, and this is definitely “Shit my kids watch” (but I do too). I actually like The Middle, again I don’t have to worry about buttholes and boobs or drugs in the 8 o’clock hour. I’m trying to raise nice young ladies for shits sake. In the season opener Axel…
Ever since I saw the first trailer with what was believed to be Luke Cage or maybe Rage I was ready for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Is that Gunn from Angel? Hell yeah, I want to see what the ex gang banger has been up to. ….Then I watched the pilot. It’s going to be…
I’m sure there have been more criminally underrated shows than Parks & Recreation over the years, but I’m hard pressed to come up with many. I suppose The Wire never got proper recognition when it was airing, but hyper-intelligent urban dramas on HBO can be a bit elusive, and it certainly has been lauded over…
