Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Dorian Brown, Fiona Gubelmann Writer: David Zuckerman Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: June 30, 2011 The second episode of WILFRED revolves in large part around the endless credulity of main character Ryan (Elijah Wood). While a lot of this is funny, given Ryan’s previous experience with the duplicity of the canine Wilfred (Jason Gann), it seems like our human boy should now have a sense of when his leash is being yanked. Trying to get into the good graces of Jenna (Fiona Gubelmann), Ryan promises to take Wilfred to the […]Read On »

Stars: Matt Oberg, Devin Clark, Pete Holmes, Julie Klausner, Natasha Leggero, Kurt Metzger, Larry Murphy, Mike O’Gorman, Randy Pearlstein, Michael-Leon Wooley Writer: Daniel Powell Animation Directors: Aaron Augenblick, Devin Clark Network: Comedy Central, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 30, 2011 When UGLY AMERICANS arrived last year, I was intrigued by the premise which mixed humans, demons and monsters in an alternate reality version of New York, but I still wasn’t ready to give it a chance. Boy was I missing something. Now that it’s made it to season 2, I’m hooked. It’s clear creator Devin Clark has crafted one […]Read On »

TV Review: LOVE BITES – “Stand and Deliver”

  Stars: Becki Newton, Greg Grunberg, Constance Zimmer Writer: David McHugh, Matt Flannegan Director: John David Cotes Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 30, 2011 It was bound to happen, but LOVE BITES takes a huge step backwards with “Stand and Deliver” after several weeks of striking a nice balance between its characters, storytelling and comedy. Nothing works in “Stand and Deliver,” which is a shame since I think this show has improved considerably since the pilot. The big issue comes back to storytelling and the guest cast – and this week it’s weak on all fronts (aside […]Read On »

The world of New York City is not what it seems in the Comedy Central animated series UGLY AMERICANS (which has its second season premiere tonight). In the hilariously bizarre series (which features animation in the EC Comics vein), Mark Lilly is our hero – a social worker for the Department of Integration who has to deal with zombies, demons and wizards on a regular basis. The key to UGLY AMERICANS success is it plays everything very seriously, deriving the comedy out of the outlandish situations surrounding our hero. Creator Devin Clark spoke with ASSIGNMENT X this week in an […]Read On »

Stars: Callie Thorne, Marc Blucas, Mehcad Brooks, Scott Cohen, Patrick Johnson, Hannah Marks Writers: Liz Kruger & Craig Shapiro Director: Kevin Dowling Network: USA, Wednesdays @ 10 PM Airdate: June 29, 2011 USA’s new series NECESSARY ROUGHNESS (which has nothing, outside of football, in common with the 1991 feature of the same name starring Scott Bakula) fits in with the network’s lineup of quirky professionals taking quirky jobs. Indeed, the show has a modestly original premise – certainly no one is going to come away grumbling, “Oh, not another dramedy about a therapist treating professional sports figures!” Based on the […]Read On »

While speaking with John Noble at last week’s Saturn Awards where he took home a Best Supporting Actor prize for his work on the Fox series FRINGE, ASSIGNMENT X caught up with him for this exclusive chat about the forthcoming Season 4. While he was tight-lipped about revealing too many secrets, he did give his thoughts on what he would like to see happen now that Joshua Jackson’s character Peter has ceased to exist on the show after saving the universe in the Season 3 finale. “I haven’t talked to the writers,” Noble admits. “I try to get stuff out […]Read On »

Network: NBC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: June 28, 2011 Now here’s what an AMERICAN IDOL finale should look like – four worthy performers battling it out for the crown. Four quality singers. Four singers who would all make kick-ass albums. And four coaches who currently have pop cultural relevance and are powerhouses in their own right. Hail THE VOICE. The show kicked off with the four Coaches Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton tackling another Queen song – “Under Pressure” and doing it justice. It was much better than their Queen butchering a couple of […]Read On »

TV Review: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT – Season 6 – “New York Auditions 2”

Network: NBC, airs whenever the network wants it to air Original Telecast: June 28, 2011 The question keeps coming up over and over again as I sit and watch hundreds of people make fools of themselves on AMERICA’S GOT TALENT. Why? Why? Why? Don’t these people have loved ones advising them not to go on television and embarrass themselves? I don’t get it. Yet, they keep on coming. Many like Rak & Tak, a married couple, both doctors apparently, aspire to be singers. There is one very, very big, humongous, ginormous problem with their dream – they can’t hold a […]Read On »

The bad news: It ain’t getting any better either. With the show’s third life, er, episode “Green Star”, we’re promised some secrets of the Mai will be revealed, but other than learning that Chloe is the great Uniter and that each death she has is more painful […]Read On »

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Monica Macer Director: Toby Wilkins Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: June 27, 2011 I really hope MTV knows what it has with its new series TEEN WOLF. Each week, the show continually gets better and better with the characters getting more clearly defined and the horror ratcheting up. This is one of the best series it’s ever had on its network, and I hope it doesn’t get messed up any time soon (hey kids, here’s the new TEEN WOLF MOM […]Read On »
