Stars: John Barrowman, Eve Myles, Mekhi Phifer, Alexa Havins, Lauren Ambrose, Kai Owen, Bill Pullman, Arlene Tur, Wayne Knight Writer: Jane Espenson Director:  Billy Gierhart Network: Starz, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: July 22, 2011 Last week I was speculating how long it would take to have the mysterious group behind “The Miracle” unveiled, and it looks like this week in “The Dead of Night”, the layers have started to peel back to reveal some of the machinations. PhiCorp is a pharmaceutical company that is stock piling so many meds and antibiotics they could keep the planet healthy for years, […]Read On »

TV Review: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – “Hollywood Quarter-Finals” – Week 3

Twelve more performed on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT during Week 3 of the “Hollywood Quarter-Finals” hoping for the chance to go to the semi finals. None of the hopefuls seemed all that impressive this week. Sure there were a couple of good singers, some adequate novelty acts and maybe a jump roping crew that can really swing their ropes but it doesn’t look like this week will garner the ultimate winner of AGT. However, Piers Morgan only buzzed three acts this week as opposed to buzzing four in each of the past two weeks. Still, it was not an exceptional night. […]Read On »

Stars: David Strathairn, Ryan Cartwright, Warren Christie, Warren Christie, Azita Ghanizada, Laura Mennell, Malik Yoba, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Devon Graye, Callum Keith Rennie Writers: Ira Steven Behr & Robert Hewitt Wolfe, series created by Zak Penn & Michael Karnow Director: Nick Copus Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 10 PM Airdate: July 25, 2011 While not as morally gray as last week’s episode – maybe because this week’s antagonist has caused much more harm with much less cause – “Anger Management” has a lot of strong scenes. Director Nick Copus seems to have picked up on some thematic similarities with 28 DAYS LATER/28 […]Read On »

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Jonathon Roessler Director: Tim Andrew Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: July 26, 2011 When a genre show is good, and we mean really good, it opens up the doors for all kinds of possibilities with characters, plot developments and amazing surprises. With TEEN WOLF, it’s three-quarters of the way through its first season on MTV, and all the characters and mythology that has been paved during the first half has finally come together in so many rewarding ways, particularly in […]Read On »

Stars: Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Erica Cerra, Neil Grayston, Niall Matter, Kavan Smith, Felicia Day, Wil Wheaton, Stan Lee Writer: Ed Fowler Director: Michael Robison Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 8 PM Airdate: July 25, 2011 Once again, multiple plates are spinning in an episode of EUREKA. In “Glimpse,” Jo (Erica Cerra) and Zane (Niall Matter) are grappling with their relationship – with Jo wanting to call things off even though they’ve had six weeks of “last times” – and Jack (Colin Ferguson) and Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) are dealing with more subtle nuances of their romance. Meanwhile, Fargo (Neil […]Read On »

TV Review: WAREHOUSE 13 – Season 3 – “Love Sick”

Stars: Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Allison Scagliotti, Aaron Ashmore, Jaime Murray, Ashley Williams Writer: Holly Harold Director: Jeremiah S. Chechik Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: July 25, 2011 As with last week, WAREHOUSE 13 is really shaping up nicely this season. The larger cast of Warehouse employees allows the writers to have a lot more story in one episode, and to show more sides of the characters we already know and love. Which is ironic since this week’s episode is called “Love Sick.” Myka (Joanne Kelly) and Pete (Eddie McClintock) find themselves in bed […]Read On »

TV Review: LEVERAGE – Season 4 – “The Hot Potato Job”

Stars: Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Aldis Hodge, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf, Mitch Pileggi, Bhanna Peget Writer: Jenn Kao, series created by John Rogers & Chris Downey Director: John Harrison Network: TNT, Sundays @ 9 PM Airdate: July 24, 2011 LEVERAGE’s “The Hot Potato Job” is decent enough – it literally involves a stolen (i.e., hot) potato, so points up front for a good title, as well as smart casting in employing Mitch Pileggi as the big bad of the week. However, given that this is the episode where team leader Nathan (Timothy Hutton) and longtime unconsummated/then consummated-but-pretending-it’s-no-big-deal love interest Sophie […]Read On »

Stars (voices): Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche Writer: Eric Rogers Director: Frank Marino Network: Comedy Central, airs Thursdays @ 10 PM Original Telecast: July 21, 2011 FUTURAMA had a shot at bringing the funny back this week and just didn’t pull the trigger as this week’s episode, “Yo Leela Leela,” featured an easy target but went the PC route instead. The episode concerns Leela (voiced by Katey Sagal) visiting the Cookieville Orphanarium where she was raised. The orphans want a better story told to them than Leela’s life, so she goes off and writes […]Read On »
