Cast: Jason O’Mara, Christine Adams, Byron Brockmann, Shelly Conn, Stephan Lang, Simone Kessell, Landon Liborion, Allison Miller Director: Jon Cassar Writers: Rene Echevarria, Brannon Braga Network: Airs on Fox, Mondays @ 8pm Original Telecast: Oct. 23, 2011 So I missed last week that TERRA NOVA doesn’t necessarily take place on our Earth’s past. It actually is a similar past, but in a somewhat alternate reality of our own. That’s why the dinosaurs are very similar, but different as well as the other plant and animal life. That’s especially funny given the opening animation for the show depicts all of Earth’s […]Read On »

Stars: Chaz Bono, David Arquette, Kristin Cavallari, Nancy Grace, Robert Kardashian, Carson Kressley, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Chynna Phillips, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: October 3rd, 2011 Tonight on DANCING WITH THE STARS was all about emotion. It was “The Most Memorable Year of My Life” night and boy did we get to know the celebs intimately with their performances tonight. But, nothing, and I mean nothing was as powerful as J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff’s Rumba. Martinez dedicated his dance to all those who don’t come home from the war. It was intense. It was […]Read On »

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins, Mark Pellegrino, Kim Rhodes, Cameron Bancroft, Benito Martinez Writer: Ben Edlund, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Guy Bee Network: The CW Original Telecast: September 30, 2011 The SUPERNATURAL episode “Hello, Cruel World” has a lot to recommend it. For starters, the script by Ben Edlund makes diabolically clever use of recycling Dr. Sexy (remember that character?) as a way of providing a hilarious/horrific misinterpreted mission statement to a monster, and by bringing back grumpy but plucky ally Sheriff Jody Mills (Kim Rhodes), not to mention Mark Pellegrino’s oh-so-relaxed Lucifer. Where […]Read On »

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins, Mark Sheppard, Julian Richings, Mark Pellegrino Writer: Sera Gamble, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Phil Sgriccia Network: The CW, Fridays @ 9 PM Original Telecast: September 30, 2011 There’s nothing like a huge cliffhanger that picks up right where it left off, which is what we thankfully get with SUPERNATURAL’s Season Seven premiere, “Meet the New Boss.” Season Six ended with the angel Castiel (Misha Collins) ascending to godhood after ingesting all the souls in Purgatory. Castiel then demanded that the Winchester brothers, Sam (Jared Padalecki) – who had just […]Read On »

Stars: Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, Mandy Patinkin, Morena Baccarin Writers: Howard Gordon & Alex Ganza, developed for American television by Howard Gordon & Alex Ganza, based on the series HATUFIM created by Gideon Raff Director: Michael Cuesta Network: Showtime, Sundays @ 10 PM Original Telecast: October 2, 2011 Based on what can be determined from its pilot episode, Showtime’s new series HOMELAND is exactly the sort of paranoid, tense, twisty serialized thriller that threatened to vanish for good when 24 went off the air. Good news – Howard Gordon & Alex Ganza, both 24 veterans, are at the helm here, […]Read On »

Stars: Matt Smith, James Corden, Karen Gillan, Arthur Darvill, Alex Kingston, Frances Barber, Daisy Haggard, Seroca Davis, Holli Dempsey, Chris Obi, Lynda Baron, Paul Kasey, Nicholas Briggs Writer: Gareth Roberts Director:  Steve Hughes Network: BBC America, airs Saturday nights Original Telecast: September 24, 2011 I will freely admit that I was less than enamored with the latest DOCTOR WHO offering, “Closing Time.” First of all this episode sees the return of Craig (James Corden) from last year’s “The Lodger” which was one of my LEAST favorite episode of that series. I seem to remember that Corden is friends with Matt […]Read On »

Stars: Britt Robertson, Thomas Dekker, Shelley Henning, Phoebe Tonkin, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Louis Hunter, Natasha Henstridge, Gale Harold, Ashley Crow Writer: Richard Hatem, Based on the book by L.J. 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 »
