Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Vic Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Bonita Friedericy Writers: Nicholas Wootton Director: Paul Marks Network: NBC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 14, 2011 I’m pretty sure I have a new favorite episode from Season 4 of CHUCK and that’s “Vs. The Cat Squad.” The set-up is a simple – Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) doesn’t have anyone she can invite to her and Chuck’s (Zachary Levi) engagement party, so he does a little digging and finds out she was part of a CIA super-group of sexy spies […]Read On »

As Chuck has been pining for Sarah since Season One, and they’ve gotten together and broken apart a number of times, what does this new turn of events mean for the couple? Strahovski gives us her views on this and other developments. ASSIGNMENT X: Chuck and Sarah are now engaged, but […]Read On »

DeKnight Director: Brendan Maher Network: STARZ, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: February 11th, 2010 So last episode of SPARTACUS: GODS OF THE ARENA, Titus (Jeffrey Thomas) came back to the House of Batiatus to act as the head of the household. This not only ruffled the feathers of Batiatus (John Hannah) and Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) but it effectively crapped all over what they had been trying to accomplish to elevate their house. Lucretia and Gaia (Jamie Murray) had […]Read On »

Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole, Kirk Acevedo Director: Brad Anderson Writers: David Wilcox, Ethan Gross Airs: Fridays on Fox Original Telecast: February 11, 2011 Bugs. I don’t think anyone really likes them other than those that have something invested scientifically. Even if you don’t mind them, you can’t really say you enjoy their presence. So having them hatch and explode from inside of you isn’t a pleasant thought at all and gives me specifically the heebie jeebies. Of course, it was FRINGE that decided to capitalize on this very subject in “Immortality” where a […]Read On »

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver Director: David Barrett Writers: Daniel Loflin Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: February 11, 2011 This was the type of episode on SUPERNATURAL that separates this show from the rest of the schlock that is on television at the moment. Where most shows might bypass or gloss over the fact that one of its major characters was a soulless, brutal creature hunter for a year, SUPERNATURAL does it in style and capitalizes on this aspect of its characters in order to provide great storytelling and further the mythology of […]Read On »

Cast: Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Seacrest Network: Fox, airs Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Telecast: February 10, 2011 For years I’ve been covering AMERICAN IDOL, most of that time with iF Magazine and then periodically now with AssignmentX. During my tenure as a reviewer of the show whether it be reviews, or features, or lists, or how the show could improve I have rallied for the show to provide us with a better understanding of what happens during Hollywood Week. To give us insight into why someone was chosen over someone that we, as the audience, may have […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – SEASON 6 – “Like a Virgin”

iCast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver Director: Philip Sgriccia Writer: Adam Glass Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: February 4, 2011 I’m very happy that SUPERNATURAL is back. No other show on TV makes me laugh and keeps my interest as much as this show does. And “Like a Virgin” had ample amounts of comedy and compelling storytelling. This episode had two purposes for overall mythology and second half of SUPERNATURAL. One, provide a follow up to Sam (Jared Padalecki) getting his soul back into his body. And two, introducing what I believe will be […]Read On »

The Dork Side: TV Quotables for Everyday Life

THE SIMPSONS - Season 22 - The 21st Annual TREEHOUSE OF HORROR | ©2011 Fox

“D’oh!” I say “D’oh” multiple times a day, every day. I say it when I drop something. I say it when I hurt myself. I say it when I’ve done something stupid. I say it when someone else drops something or tells me a story about something stupid they did. Sometimes I say it when I hear a sad story, saying softly, “Oh, d’oh,” with a sympathetic look. After years of watching THE SIMPSONS, it is burned in my brain. I’m sure the first time I said it, I thought about it and said it to make someone laugh. Now, […]Read On »

In fact, I have to admit, the episodes where Sue is missing in action, have actually proven to be the stronger episodes this season. Valentine’s […]Read On »
