Stars: Emily VanCamp, Madeleine Stowe, Henry Czerny, Josh Bowman, Nick Wechsler, Gabriel Mann, Ashley Madekwe, Christa B. Allen, Connor Paolo Writer: Mark B. Perry and Joe Fazzio Director: Sanford Bookstaver Network: ABC, Wednesday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: November 2, 2011 As I noted elsewhere recently, one of the problems with these endlessly mysterious kinds of shows like REVENGE, where for every question that gets answered, three more pop up, is that it can be a little hard to tell if the writers are just being mysterious or if they simply screwed up. And it’s really hard in the re-telling of this show not to sound cynical because it is so very, […]Read On »

Cast: Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Antonio Reid, Nicole Scherzinger Network: Fox, airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Telecast: Nov. 2, 2011 Not surprisingly, the world’s second, third, fourth, fifth greatest karaoke competition, THE X FACTOR, began with the obligatory recap of the “epic” last episode that had the judges eliminating their last few picks in order to make up the Top 12. Outside of the whole groups and old people being included on this show, I don’t see much of a difference between this and the other The Stereo Hogzz Song: “Rhythm Nation” by Janet Jackson What the judges said: […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “1 Percent”

Cartman and the South Park kids in SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "1 Percent" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: November 2, 2011 One of the best reasons for Trey Parker, Matt Stone and the entire production team at SOUTH PARK to put themselves through hell to deliver brand new animated episodes in six days is the ability for them to be topical. That means that whatever is current or in the news, can be instant fodder just like SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, THE DAILY SHOW, THE COLBERT REPORT and others of its ilk. Yet, this is also animation – and very complex to pull off, especially […]Read On »

CD Review: Erasure – TOMORROW’S WORLD

Erasure - TOMORROW'S WORLD | ©2011 Mute Records

Distributor: Mute Suggested Retail Price: $13.88 It’s amazing that Vince Clarke has been a part of not one, but three ground-breaking bands and all within the span of five years in the early 1980s. First, he jump-started Depeche Mode being one of the primary songwriters for that band’s exceptional debut SPEAK & SPELL providing such memorable tracks as “Just Can’t Get Enough”, “Dreaming of Me” and “New Life” Leaving after the release of that ground-breaking first album, Clarke then formed a partnership with singer Alison Moyet with Yaz (known as Yazoo in the U.K.). The two albums they put out […]Read On »

And now I hate her too. Really bad. This season you started her off on the wrong […]Read On »

Stars: David Arquette, Nancy Grace, Robert Kardashian, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: Nov. 1st, 2011 Who would of thought that Nancy Grace had more fans than David Arquette? But, alas, it is true. David Arquette and his partner Kym Johnson are the latest casualties on DANCING WITH THE STARS. Arquette lasted seven weeks and placed sixth in the competition overall. He leaves behind Ricki Lake & Derek Hough, Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy, J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff, Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke, and yes, Nancy Grace & Tristan Macmanus. The results […]Read On »

TV Review: CASTLE – Season 4 – “Cops and Robbers”

Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Terence Paul Winter Director: Bryan Spicer Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: October 31, 2011 Those CASTLE fans looking for the usual light-hearted banter, witty repartee and twists and turns aren’t going to like this episode. Because this one is the other side of the series featuring crime fiction author Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and his real-life muse Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) solving crimes together. The show has always featured some heavier, more dramatic episodes – it has to, it would […]Read On »

TV Review: TERRA NOVA – Season 1 – “Bylaw”

Jason O'Mara and Stephen Lang in TERRA NOVA - Season 1 - "Bylaw" | ©2011 Fox/Brook Rushton

Cast: Jason O’Mara, Christine Adams, Byron Brockmann, Shelly Conn, Stephan Lang, Simone Kessell, Landon Liborion, Allison Miller Director: Nelson McCormick Writers: Paul Grellong Network: Airs on Fox, Mondays @ 8pm Original Telecast: Oct. 31, 201 Adultery and crimes of passion … is this really what TERRA NOVA should be focusing on five episodes into its 13 episode run in the first season? I don’t think so as the show has already struggled with finding its core mythology and sustaining entertaining ideas and storylines in the first few episodes. Instead shouldn’t we be learning more about why the Sixxers are banished […]Read On »

Rating: TV-MA Stars:Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, Lauren Velez, Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, David Zayas, James Remar, Aimee Garcia, Edward James Olmos, Colin Hanks, Mos, Billy Brown, Mariana Klaveno Writer: Scott Reynolds Director: CJ Clarkson Network: Showtime, Sundays @ 9 PM Release Date: October 30, 2011 Poor Dexter just can’t keep a friend. Either they turn out to be substantially more messed up than him (the characters played by Christian Camargo, Jaime Murray and Jimmy Smits in, respectively, Seasons 1, 2 & 3) and he has to kill them, they stop being messed up and leave (Julia Stiles’ Lumen in Season 5) […]Read On »

Stars: David Arquette, Nancy Grace, Robert Kardashian, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: October 31, 2011 It was a spooky night on DANCING WITH THE STARS. Point in case, J. R. Martinez, because of a so-so group dance, is in 4th place out of 6 couples! Say it ain’t so…oh, it is so. Team Paso (Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke, Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy, Ricki Lake & Derek Hough) kicked Team Tango’s (J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff, David Arquette & Kym Johnson, Nancy Grace & Tristan Macmanus) butt! The couples had one […]Read On »
