  • New Season: NBC’s Chuck

    Of all the networks, NBC seems to be a bit ahead of this technology curve. At least for the upcoming fall season. They’ve made three of the pilots for new shows available in a few different ways. I watched them on my cable system’s On Demand system the other day. One of those new shows…

  • Thursday Night After Grey’s

    This week, there were a handful of new shows that popped into the line-up. The only ones that really had me interested were on at 10 p.m. on Thursday. That one of the few blank spots that’s been on my schedule. I’ve been turning the TV off after Grey’s Anatomy for a while. Men in…

  • Nights In Are For Movies

    Cry_Wolf was pretty good. A bit better than I expected it to be. The plot keeps you guessing what’s really going on and it all pays off pretty well in the end.

  • Shows for the season, new and not-so-new

    Entourage So I’ve “discovered” this new show on HBO called Entourage. OK, so I’m a season and a half late getting on the bandwagon with this one–I was without my own TV when it premiered last year. The show follows the struggle of a new actor and his friends trying ot make it big in…

  • ‘Brat Camp’–School of Hard Knocks

    Last night, while I was watching the wrap up of Beauty and the Geek (on the WB) and the latest episode of The Inside (on Fox), I recorded the new reality show Brat Camp on ABC. I just watched it today after work. Now, let me start by pointing out that Brat Camp isn’t one…
