Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!

Imagine if you will, a Bizarro universe where instead of a present-day existence pioneered by M.I.T. graduates, Silicon Valley engineers and aspiring movie directors working for MTV: your futures were created by legally defined retards. Or those corporate bosses you couldn’t stand! That is what lays the foundation for Tim and Eric Awesome Show. It turns Gortex into faded bell- bottom corduroys. Who Are They? Hosted by Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim who first appeared on the adult swim scene with Tom Goes to the Mayor, they are a comedy team who incorporate a live-action, low-tech approach... [Read more of this review]

In Treatment: HBO

Now that the Golden Globe Noms are out and the Emmys have passed us by, even though Lenny (and a whole host of other people) think that the Golden Globes are bunk, I can’t help but want to bring attention to shows that deserve their accolades. Lucky for you, I am a “Mystic” and can sense things of quality.  As I put a finger to my temple and rub my belly I am sensing…Gabriel Byrne…HBO…Diane Wiest…casting by Junie Lowry-Johnson and I can most certainly tell you without watching, that this show is a finely sculpted work of art.  Don’t worry, I watched it... [Read more of this review]

Are You > or < The Venture Bros.

This is not a show I immediately loved, revered or even liked. It was more like a curiosity, a pig fetus in a jar of embalming fluid. Something I wished to understand and appreciate. If the Church of the SubGenius had produced a television show, I am certain it would resemble The Venture Bros. Huh? You lost me. Exactly. When you have graduated from the community college level of pop culture trivia via The Family Guy, only then are you eligible to enter into the graduate school of all animated television shows’. This is an experience that requires a serious time investment in a variety of disciplines.... [Read more of this review]

Dexter Season 3 ends…Freeze me so I don’t have to wait!

The season finale of Showtime’s Dexter got me HOT it was so good and I’m still thinking about it.  For those of you who know the show, you no doubt share my wet predicament, and for those of you who do not know the show, you’re missin’ out kids!  Now that I can reflect on the whole season, let’s digest, shall we? As much as I would love to expand on each and every characters goodies this season, the entire cast is so damn good in every season that I would rather focus on the biggest guest star of season three.  Jimmy Smits joined the cast and though Michael C. Hall... [Read more of this review]

ABC Bids Farewell To Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money

ABC has announced that they have not ordered any new episodes for their Sophomore darlings Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and Dirty Sexy Money.  For those of you who don’t know or haven’t intuited, that means it’s over.  The shows have not been “canceled”…but they will most likely not be renewed either. They get to finish their seasons, and the fans will probably complain…but it’s over. Now I haven’t seen Dirty Sexy Money yet, but it got a second season in the fickle current market so it must be at least interesting.  Eli Stone and did we forget to mention... [Read more of this review]

Eli Stone: ABC Network

I know I’m going to get a lot of crap for this but yes, I watch Eli Stone and I like it. It’s not for everyone! Did you like the style of Ally McBeal but got over the whining in Season One? Hop aboard the Eli Stone express! At least his hallucinations are the result of divine intervention! Confused yet? Let me start from the beginning. With a cast of accomplished actors that definitely know their way around a set, it’s obvious to me that a lot of care and planning went into the creation of this show. Quirk, comedy, light drama and musical numbers. STOP! Before you say “EW!”... [Read more of this review]

Fringe: Fox Network

Got a penchant for sci-fi/docu-drama/horror/mystery thrillers?  Nostalgic for Mulder, Scully and Cancer Man (yes, I said it)?  Bored and waiting for the next season of LOST (even though the previous season felt like that dream you have where you’re running and running but never get anywhere)?  The network that brought us The X-Files and the producers of LOST, bring us Fringe; a hybrid that will keep you more than occupied. From the production and writing team that brought you Alias, LOST, Xena Warrior Princess (…yes) and that festering pile of action ick, Mission Impossible III,... [Read more of this review]

Life on Mars ain’t in Uranus

Enter 2008, New York City. The streets are dirty, the people are jaded, and I’m annoyed by the ridiculous blue camera filter! (Come on guys, the whole Matrix filter effect thing is a little overdone!) That being said, ABC’s new gritty, time-warped, existential crime drama, Life on Mars, hit the ground running. The main character, Sam Tyler (Jason O’Mara) is thrown into 1973 after a beautifully filmed ‘hit and run’ leaves him face down on the pavement literally 6 minutes and 15 seconds into the first episode. Cue David Bowie’s Life on Mars on the iPod…... [Read more of this review]

The Best Show You Never Saw

So what’s your guess? I doubt you’ll guess it, since you’ve never seen the show. Ready? Groovy. The best show you never saw is Sports Night, which aired on ABC for two seasons.  After just two short seasons, Sports Night won several awards, including two Emmy’s (believe it or not).  It ended with a bang, and I highly recommend you pick up the DVD set, and watch it the entire way through.  Several times. Sports Night: The Best Show You Never Saw Sports Night is an extremely witty show, with great writing, great dialogue, and amazing acting.  There isn’t one actor... [Read more of this review]
