Smith Director: Colin Bucksey Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: September 29, 2010 What do you do when you’ve been found out, which is bound to happen in a tiny town? On THE SECRET CIRCLE after last week’s decidedly magical grandstanding from Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) involving her irritation at their school’s leading goodie two-shoes, it’s not a huge shocker that more people are becoming aware that strange stuff is […]Read On »

Stars: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder Writer: Caroline Dries, Based on the book by L.J. Smith Director: Chris Grismer   Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: September 29, 2010 Once again, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES delivers with another fine episode. “The End of the Affair” is packed with lavish 1920’s flashbacks, and all kinds of cerebral goodies to chew on in the present. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) hit Chicago in an effort to find out why Klaus can’t properly create his hybrid army. Of course Stefan knows the real reason, simply that Elena (Nina Dobrev) […]Read On »

Stars: David Hornsby, Kevin Dillon, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Nancy Lenehan, Dave Foley, Rhys Darby, Abigail Spencer Writer: David Hornsby, series created by David Hornsby Director: Pamela Fryman Network: CBS, Thursdays @ 8:30 PM Original Telecast: September 29, 2011 Unless the word “gentleman” in recent years has come to mean “man who is hopelessly out of touch with contemporary behavior, to the point of seeming like he may be from another planet,” the title of HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN is off the mark. Furthermore, it’s not so much about the “gentleman” in question teaching his manners to anyone, but rather […]Read On »

Interview: SUPERNATURAL star Misha Collins elevates his character to a higher being

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN

Big spoiler for those who didn’t see last week’s season premiere of SUPERNATURAL – the angel Castiel, played by Misha Collins, is really not himself. In the Season Six finale, Castiel opened Purgatory and ingested all the souls of creatures within, making himself big-G God. As we learned in the Season Seven opener, “Meet the New Boss,” that kind of diet just doesn’t agree with an angel, either physiologically or ethically, and Cass wound up vomiting most of the souls back from whence they came. Unfortunately, a few really bad ones, the Leviathans, stuck around and have taken control of […]Read On »

Even though he was long gone by the latter half of last season, he was still there in spirit. Now, THE OFFICE is trying to move on, reworking its […]Read On »

Stars: Britt Robertson, Thomas Dekker, Shelley Henning, Phoebe Tonkin, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Louis Hunter, Natasha Henstridge, Gale Harold, Ashley Crow Writer: Kevin Williamson, Based on the book by L.J. Smith Director: Liz Friedlander Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: September 22, 2010 Yes, THE SECRET CIRCLE has real promise. The theme song is wonderfully creepy, and it helps to set a tone that hasn’t quite completely manifested on the show yet. The first episode of set the stage for everything to happen, and this second episode “Bound” takes the story in a foretold direction, but a hell of […]Read On »

TV Review: THE VAMPIRE DIARIES – Season 3 – “The Hybrid”

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder in THE VAMPIRE DIARIES - Season 3 - "The Hybrid" | ©2011 The CW/Quantrell D. Colbert

Stars: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder Writer: Joshua Butler, Based on the book by L.J. Smith Director: Al Septien Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: September 22, 2010 THE VAMPIRE DIARIES never fails to please in terms of cliffhanger endings and surprises rolling in that are rarely suspected or even hinted at. Last week’s cliffhanger saw Caroline (Candice Accola) gunned down by Carol Lockwood (Susan Walters) with a Vervain tranquilizer, that was a brilliant ending but I think the new episode “The Hybrid” has an even better one (SPOILER ALERT) bringing back Caroline’s father played by Jack […]Read On »

Cast: Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Antonio Reid, Cheryl Cole, Nicole Scherzinger Network: Fox, airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Telecast: Sept. 28, 2011 A quick recap of what you know about THE X FACTOR: Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell returned together, a pompous British dude with a Barney-colored Polo is the host, they kicked off Cheryl Cole as a judge despite the fact that she’s a better judge than Nicole Scherzinger, it has just as many freaks, losers and bad singers as AMERICAN IDOL and, yes, it is just another copy of all the other singing/talent shows we’ve grown to […]Read On »

Stars: Jane Levy, Jeremy Sisto, Cheryl Hines, Carly Chaikin, Alan Tudyk, Allie Grant Writer: Emily Kapnek Director: Michael Fresco Network: ABC, Wednesdays @ 8:30 PM Original Telecast: September 28, 2011 If you’ve read books aimed at teens and tweens (the main characters are teenagers, but the readers are sometimes a little younger), you know the tone of SUBURGATORY – wry and snarky but not mean-spirited, watching peers in a new territory as though they’re aliens and viewing adults as though they are from another dimension altogether. In SUBURGATORY’s pilot, our narrator, fifteen-year-old Tessa Altman (Jane Levy), is uprooted from her […]Read On »
