It's the worst period ever*CONTAINS SPOILERS* This is THE 100th episode of House, and it really does a good job of tying up loose ends. Ironically, the show's 100th episode doesn't feature two stars: Jennifer Morri...more

Well, they didn't have anti-depressants back in those days*CONTAINS SPOILERS* I LOVED this episode. After 9 seaons, CSI can still put out those rare, heart felt episodes that you don't see in other shows. This one, for me, had it all. I think it'...more

Anyone want a side of feces?!So the pilot for Lie To Me impressed me enough to come back for more with this second episode...it didn't disappoint either. I thought this episode dove deeper into the science of lying. I might even ...more

If you meet our boss, just respond with 'yes' or 'no' answers*CONTAINS SPOILERS* House, to me, is the medical doctor equivalent of CSI, except Gregory House is a grumpy, egotistical version of Grissom and when House's team of experts raid a house fo...more

Okay...I'm impressed*CONTAINS SPOILERS* CSI has suffered some major changes as of late. Warrick is dead, Grissom and Sarah have left...it almost seems like Dr. Robbins' beard is the only thing that remains co...more

I don't have much faith in words myself*CONTAINS SPOILERS* Last night, after my regular routine of watching The Daily Show and Colbert Report, I flipped the channel to check out the premiere of Lie To Me, a show I had been anti...more

All in all, another fine start to a series from the network that “knows drama,” which is almost ironic since it’s probably the funniest show on the networkIt’s been awhile since we’ve seen Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanaugh on the small screen, in leading roles that is. It’s been nearly three years since McCormack’s hit series Will & Grace went of...more

Great that the show is coming back, but this TV movie was a little weak.Ah, it could have been so much better... What seemed to me like a great opportunity for 24 to make it's grand re-entrance onto the TV scene, seemed a bit wasted with what didn't mount up t...more ( Short Review: 220 words )

This second episode continues with the Robin Hood-meets-Ocean’s 11 premise and dials down the quirks and turns up the drama in a great way that pushes this series forward.Pilot episodes are kind of like first dates.The pilot has to be interesting enough to make the audience want to see more of it… but it can’t be too mysterious or also be too revealing. It’s an i...more

Leverage is Robin Hood meets Ocean’s 11. It’s a wonderful, light-hearted romp through a normally heavy genre, and one hell of a good time.When was the last time you’ve seen Robin Hood? You know, steal from the rich and give to the poor, merry bandits and all that jazz? It’s been quite some time since we’ve seen anything like that ...more

If you’ve been following this season… hell, if you’ve followed the series AT ALL, this heart-pounding episode will rattle your nerves to the core and is not to be missed.I think anyone who’s followed The Shield, whether it be with a remote fascination or with insane die-hard enthusiasm like myself, anyone who has caught some of this superb series has likely had to a...more

This episode holds the "normal" pattern of the ongoing storyline while showing a new minor crime as well. This is one last final glimpse of the series’ brand of regularity that is so irregularly wonderful from anything else on TV.Regular viewers of The Shield will notice that the show, like any show, has a pattern to it. But what makes this show stand out so much is the flat-out balls to show the brutal reality of this world t...more
-
As we inch closer to the grand finale of this historic series, this is just another wonderful set-up episode that keeps reeling us in and raising the stakes so that big bang at the end will (hopefully) be that much more worth the wait.While the previous episode seemed to slow it down a notch… many notches, it seems that this episode, “Party Line” starts to pick up the pace just a little bit, gives us a minor blast from the pa...more

While we don’t get as much action as we’re used to here, they find their own unique ways to turn up the intensity in this terrific episode that brings us one show closer to the end of this groundbreaking series.Been awhile, eh kids? Well I’m finally caught up with this remarkable last season of The Shield, so I should be able to get reviews up these last few episodes up all in time for the series finale, w...more

Not the best Treehouse of Horror, but still worthy of Halloween goodness.While this Treehouse episode wasn't the great set of spooky tales, it still did some justice to the Halloween wonderment of the season. I guess what I really don't like is the whole electi...more ( Short Review: 202 words )

Holy s&^t!! I NEED ANOTHER SCREENER DISC NOW!! Thankfully I have another one en route because I just simply can’t stop watching this outstanding final season.Good God damn, my friends! While it’s true that I’m not a big TV person at all, I can’t imagine that there is ANYTHING out there this year that comes anywhere near the sheer intensity of this fi...more

This isn't one of South Park's "breast" episodes, but it's a decent Cartman episodeSouth Park's latest episode, "Breast Cancer Show Ever," furthers the point that Matt and Trey have been trying to make for 12 years: Cartman is cancer. Metaphors are common with this show, and Matt an...more

"The China Problem" has its problems, no doubt, but it's still classic, offensive, South ParkAfter their regular 6-week hiatus in between seasons, my all time favorite show "South Park" returned with the first episode of the second half of season 12. It's quite miraculous that a show this off...more

This is simply outstanding television at its finest and even more proof that The Shield is THE BEST cop drama in television history.The only thing that’s pissing me off about The Shield this season is that I’m running out of episodes on this screener DVD. I just have one more episode that I can watch early and then I have to a...more
