Well, the CBS heavy-hitters in the reality genre returned this past week. Yes, I’m talking Survivor and The Amazing Race, not Big Brother. Last year’s winter version of BB was only due to the writers’ strike and that show continues to be a guilty pleasure of the summer. That’s just as well. When all three […]
Last week I did a little dumpster diving on the Hollywood backlot and pulled out a collection of vomit-inducing big screen adaptations that failed miserably to live up to the TV series that inspired them. The putrid stench of their incompetence still clings to the walls at FOX, Warner Bros., and Universal. No amount of […]
It’s nice to have Terminator back, isn’t it? It’s been a while, and I certainly hope the long lay off and the switch to the time slot of doom won’t kill the show completely. In any case, I’m going to be enjoying this final batch of episodes of the season. This week’s episode saw Sarah […]

I figured out what was missing in 24 this season. It’s Jack taking charge and working over the bad guys. But there was plenty of that in this episode, so I’m feeling better about things. First off, we have Jack looking the President straight in the eyes and saying, “You can trust me.” When she […]
Ah, this week two of my favorite reality shows return — Survivor and The Amazing Race! But, just because they’re not on yet doesn’t mean the reality TV genre fan has nothing to watch. Nosirree, Bob! Right now The Bachelor is in full swing, American Idol has taken over the world once again, and Chef […]
