Eleven quirks to celebrate in tonight’s Modern Family

Modern Family continues to be one of my favorite new shows. It balances the tongue-in-cheek with the tender, and we never, ever forget just how quirky the characters are.

Ratings Clack – Is Dollhouse about to get pulled?

Week two of the full-tilt-boogie season brought with it some interesting things, including premieres for Animation Domination, The Amazing Race, Trauma, Hank, and The Middle. We also saw more huge numbers from House, NCIS, and Grey’s. But after all of that, the most interesting story again comes from the show with the worst ratings on […]
