Stars: Poppy Montgomery, Dylan Walsh, Michael Gaston, Kevin Rankin, Daya Vaidya Writers: John Bellucci & Ed Redlich, series created by John Bellucci & Ed Redlich, based on the book by J. Robert Lennon Director: Niels Arden Oplev Network: CBS, Tuesdays @ 10 PM Original Telecast: September 20, 2011 Some crime procedural TV series have a genuinely original take on how to tell stories about murder investigations. Many other crime procedurals copy one another, changing a few details to avoid confusion and lawsuits. UNFORGETTABLE is one of the latter. True, no other character on television has our heroine Carrie Wells’ (Poppy […]Read On »

There’s no suspense in his departure, after all, he did receive the lowest scores and maybe, just maybe, people weren’t buying his Dennis Rodman like antics. Still, it is hard to be the first one to […]Read On »

Stars: Kat Dennings, Beth Behrs, Garrett Morris, Matthew Moy, Jonathan Kite Writers: Michael Patrick King, Whitney Cummings Director: James Burrows Network: CBS, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: September 19, 2011 You can’t stop mediocrity. Every year, half of the new shows wallow in a sameness that you can never quite escape. Whether it’s the umpteenth drama featuring cops or doctors or the 10,000th comedy featuring “friends.” CBS launches 2 BROKE GIRLS which is another one of those “friends” shows about two girls who are broke who strike up a friendship and try to find a way out of their horrible […]Read On »

Jones, Conchata Ferrell, Holland Taylor Writers: Chuck Lorre, Lee Aronsohn, Eddie Gorodetsky, Jim Patterson Director: James Widdoes Network: CBS, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: September 19, 2011 One of the most dysfunctional firings in the history of television involved TWO AND A HALF MEN and Charlie Sheen – a fall-out last year that paved the way for a Sheen-less Season 9. What could have been an absolute disaster has been handled rather wisely by CBS, creating a buzz with the addition of Ashton Kutcher to the show, and surprisingly, finding a way to […]Read On »

Stars: Stana Katic, Nathan Fillion, Jon Huertas, Seamus Deaver, Molly Quinn, Susan Sullivan Writer: Andrew W. Marlowe Director: Rob Bowman Network: ABC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: September 19, 2011 When last we left Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) during the Season 3 finale of CASTLE, she’d been shot – presumably by the same cabal behind her mother’s death – with Castle holding her and telling her he loves her. So, obviously, she survives. We knew that going in – although kudos to writer Andrew Marlowe (who created the series) and director Rob Bowman for granting us just a little […]Read On »

Come on, don’t be shy … Truthfully, me neither. There are no doubt a lot of men (and some women) who either wish they could have patronized a Playboy Club back in the day or even have fond […]Read On »

Martinez, Chynna Phillips, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: September 19, 2011 Season 13 of DANCING WITH THE STARS began with some surprises. Most of the couples danced very well together, in particular J.R. Martinez with partner Karina Smirnoff and Chynna Phillips and her partner Tony Dovolani, who both tied for first with 22 points. These people want to win it, badly. The unfortunate part of wanting something so bad is the nerves that go along with it. […]Read On »

Tonight we find out if Beckett (Stana Katic) is going to survive the gun shot she took in the final minutes of the Season Three finale of the sometimes dramatic, sometimes funny detective whodunnit series CASTLE featuring author Richard “Rick” Castle (Nathan Fillion) solving crimes with his lady cop inspiration Detective Kate Beckett. Okay, it’s a gimme that Beckett is going to pull through – kinda hard to continue the series if she didn’t. But there was Castle’s declaration of love as he held her in his arms as she slowly passed out. And that kind of got us here […]Read On »
