On Air Tonight: Monday
Tonight you’ll be able to catch the broadcast premieres of Chuck and Journeyman on NBC. More importantly, there’s the second season premiere of Heroes, my personal favorite show of last season. Chuck is already losing me to Prison Break over on Fox, in it’s third season, the show just keeps the action up and the…

New Season: CBS’s Kid Nation
Even before it hit the air, Kid Nation gained the title of most controversial new show. For those who’ve missed the promo stuff for this new reality show, they’ve taken 40 kids from all different age and social groups and sent them to a pioneer-era ghost town. They have supplies, an appointed council and a…

New Season: Fox’s Back to You
One of the big-deal sitcoms hitting the small screen this season is Fox’s Back to You, a newsroom comedy starring long-time heavy hitters Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton. Grammer plays Chuck Darling, an ego-centric news anchor who finds himself back at the station he left ten years ago. That, of course, happens after he made…

Beauty and the Geek – Season 4
The new season of Beauty and the Geek has hit the CW. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is one of the few reality shows that I actually think is worth watching. It’s one of the few that doesn’t encourage every-man-for-himself backstabbing. The show is actually about personal development and learning about others. You…

New Season: NBC’s Journeyman
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…

Heroes of Futures Past
This week’s episode of Heroes took us five years into the future of the show we’ve been watching all season. As has always been the case with the show, it was done with style and punch. For those that are familiar with the super hero genre, though, none of what we saw was particularly new.…

Speed Demons
I’ve been a bit remiss on commenting on recent TV. And with the networks being as quick on the trigger as they are, I totally miss out on the chance to recommend things before they’re bounced all over the schedule and/or pulled completely. Case in point: Drive. The two-hour premiere left me feeling distinctly “eh”…

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…

Another Super Bowl Come and Gone
As usual, tuned in to watch the Big Game. Not so much for the football as for the commercials. (You can watch some here, though they don’t have most of them up, it seems.) I must say, I wasn’t all that impressed, again, this year. Conspicuously missing was a “big deal” movie promo. Sure there’s…
