Thirteen mostly good-looking people are transported into the middle of a Louisiana swamp, where they are to spend the night in an Evil Dead-style creepy cabin. In [...]

Friday, November 21, 2008

First off, the writers missed an opportunity for the greatest episode title ever: “Touched by an Angel.” Anywho, the first string of all-new episodes comes to a close and I can easily say it’s the best run of the series so far.

Monday night’s Gossip Girl was less than revelatory. Suddenly, my new favorite show had little to, well, show. Fair warning: there may be a few spoilers here.

So Gossip Girl returned to air last night, the first of a handful of shows to return to air. When we last left the kids, Lily was getting married, Serena and Dan had just split up, and Blair was still dealing with the wounds from hooking up with Chuck. So in “Summer, Kind of Wonderful,” [...]

Not quite a year ago, bleary-eyed teens, twenty-somethings, and (ahem) slightly older gentlemen woke up to a world without plucky young P.I. Veronica Mars. After three great seasons, May 7, 2007 marked the untimely end for writer/creator Rob Thomas* and one of the cleverest shows no one watched. Fast forward to today, and it’s suddenly sunny [...]
