'Dexter' exclusive: John Lithgow nabs killer roleShared via AddThisDexter is an excellent show on Showtime. I must admit I did not watch the first or second season. It so happened that my husband, out of boredom, was searching for something to watch and came across the first season DVD set of Dexter. So, he purchased it and watched it and told me how great it was. So, when we moved and subscribed to cable, we chose ... Read More

I finally got around to watching Mental on my DVR. It's the new show from Fox that airs on Tuesday nights at 9pm. According to Marc Berman at PIfeedback.com, it finished third in it's hour with 5.8M viewers.From the minute it opened I felt that there was something not really authentic about it. It was as if I was watching a B movie. If you've ever watched a B movie, you KNOW it's a B movie the minute ... Read More

It used to be that small screen actors would move from TV to movies like Jennifer Aniston, Will Smith and many others, and while that trend is continuing today (think Katherine Heigl. We don't know for sure if she truly is leaving Grey's Anatomy. There are so many rumors floating around, but, she has had success at the box office) I've really noticed over the last few years that the trend is actually working in reverse. I'm not talking ... Read More

Well in case you didn't already know Eli Stone, Dirt, Sexy Money and Pushing Dasies were all canceled by ABC mid season. What you may not have known is that not all the episodes of those shows have aired. Sometimes the network quietly airs the remaining shows in the summer. By quietly, I mean you really don't see any commercials for them so unless you automatically have them on your DVR to "record all new episodes" you won't ... Read More

Friday night in the television industry is notoriously known as the Friday Night Death Slot. No joke, if you google it, it has an entry in Wikipedia.ABC, in releasing their new schedule, has moved Ugly Betty from it's 8pm time slot on Thursday to Friday at 9pm. The show, a ratings grabber in it's first few seasons, has been declining in its ratings and so ABC has decided to put it on its death march! It will be replaced by ... Read More

Ah.. Yes. Bring on the big red balls! Perhaps they should say bring on those hurdles. Last night made me laugh so hard I cried. There is something just so hysterical about watching adults flail about when they bounce off those balls, try to get through the new "Bridge Too Far" (the name alone makes me laugh) and that sucker punch. Last year it was the Big Red Balls that were my favorite, but I ... Read More

Two clock in at '24' Freddie Prinze Jr. joins '24'I'm a big 24 fan. The first time the series came on, I skipped it. Then, when I had been working and found myself out of a job, I went to the video store and the entire first season of 24 was for rent. So, I rented the first DVD, sat on the couch and watched it. I believe it was 3 or 4 hours and I was ... Read More

Do you remember when the summer meant that there was at least 3 months where there was nothing but re-runs on TV? Before the days of the DVR, it was a great chance for you to get those shows you couldn't fit into your schedule when they re-ran. (At least that's what I used to do). I remember back in 1991 when FOX put Beverly Hills 90210 on in the summer and gave us a special Summer Season. That was ... Read More
