I know this is supposed to be a recap, but I have to start with the part that struck me the most. And it’s not a scene that has much to do with the main plot of “Chuck Versus the Sizzling Shrimp,” but rather a secondary storyline that has more to do with establishing the [...]

A crazy week kept me from sharing my thoughts on this week’s Weeds until now, which is too bad. It was probably the best episode in a while.

I didn’t think I’d take to an entire season of Nancy looking over her shoulder all the time, but the fear and tension mixed with the occasional aloofness [...]

The Jay Leno Show premieres Sept. 14 at 10 p.m. ET. Other shows will air too, but none of them will devour fully one-third of NBC’s prime time schedule (though Sunday football comes close) and none of them feature a star who retired from a prestigious gig only to resurface months later and steal the [...]

It’s lame that it’s two days late, but this recap of “Chuck Versus the Wookie” is inspired by my being reminded what an awesome episode this was.

You had surprisingly little Casey for all the funny moments he had, and you had Morgan daring to aspire to a woman light years out of his league. You [...]

This needs no intro.

I Chuck, therefore it’s Monday.

That was a stab at being philosophical. Deep, huh? It’s full of truth too, because tonight we take a gander back at “Chuck Versus the Wookie,” an excellently titled episode that for some reason makes me chuckle (no pun intended) just thinking about.

It’s been more than a month since I last [...]

Anyone who cares has probably seen Artie Lange’s first, last and only stint on Joe Buck’s new show.

And anyone who saw it has asked themself a crucial question: How’d Joe Buck get his own show?

Then, after they pondered that for a while, they likely wondered what Lange’s problem was. I mean, he was a complete [...]

I miss Battlestar Galactica.

And that’s a good thing, because you should miss a great show that had a great run and ended well. But you should realize you can’t recreate that awesomeness or overextend it. Hopefully SyFy keeps that in mind with Caprica and with The Plan, this fall’s cylon-centric prequel movie.

I’m always surprised, when I read that a big star gave an interview to Playboy, to realize that Playboy still exists.

Usually that realization overshadows whatever revelation the interview reveals. In the case of Alec Baldwin’s chat with the mag, which appears in the July/August issue, it’s about a tie.

According to TVGuide.com—no, I’m not linking directly [...]

Yeah, yeah, this recap’s at least a day late, but to be honest I’m having a hard time getting in to Weeds again.

It’s not that the episodes haven’t been good so far. They’ve been alright. It’s just that the show has gotten pretty long in the tooth, and I’m having a hard time caring about [...]

There were three great things about “Chuck Versus the Tango”: A Shawshank reference, the implication that Anna has an even wilder side than was obvious and the first of many Buy More/spy world parallels.

Not a bad haul for the third episode of Chuck’s first season. This was where Chuck got his GPS watch and where [...]

I never got into 24, and I’m not much for reality shows or performance competitions.

The result is that I don’t watch a lot of Fox, unless there’s a Giants game being played. But just like last season, when I tuned in to the flawed by interesting Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, there’ll be at least [...]

When learning to tango, be sure to learn how to lead.

That was one bit of advice Chuck could have used in this, the third episode of Season 1 and the latest focus of Chuck Me Mondays. All summer, the fans are keeping the heat on Chuck, making sure the buzz of the renewal campaign doesn’t [...]

Jonesing for Chuck spoilers? Well, this video doesn’t have any. But if you’re just jonesing for a Chuck fix, TVGuide.com’s Q&A with Vik Sahay should do the trick. At least it’s better than the only tangentially Chuck-ish news that Sarah Lancaster has scored a summer gig on TNT’s Hawthorne.

I swiped that headline from a faux Drudge Report page that caps the video below. By the time you see it, you’ll be laughing as hard as I was.

Yeah, it hits home a little bit. OK, a lot. But like Tina Fey would say, it’s funny because it’s true! (Jayson Blair bit notwithstanding.)

The Daily Show [...]

I have a hard time being overly critical of TV shows I blog about. Oh, I’m still critical when I feel it’s called for. It’s just hard.

After all, if I’m blogging about a show it’s because I really like it. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother. So I’m predisposed to root for “my” shows. When they falter, [...]

Two words: Weinerlicious uniform.

For the record, and for the uninitiated, Weinerlicious is a fictional restaurant name, not an adjective in the above phrase. “Chuck Versus the Helicopter” could possibly be the most screencapped episode of Chuck in the entire series just for that singular costume Agent Walker dons to blend in on the outskirts of [...]

Weeds returns tonight for a fifth season with “Wonderful Wonderful,” and it returns fairly strong, as I detailed last week.

When people ask me about this show and whether it’s worth watching, I tell them it’s a far cry from the show it set out to be, which is a bummer, but it’s still very much [...]

It’s week two of Chuck Me Mondays, a fan-driven effort to keep the Chuck buzz going.

Love the show? Then join in! Never seen it? Definitely join in! Here’s how it works.

Go to wb.com at 9 p.m. ET and watch the second episode of Season 1, “Chuck Versus the Helicopter.” That’s the one where Casey doesn’t [...]

In our most recent readers poll we asked what summer series they were looking forward to most.

Now, I don’t watch a ton of summer TV, so I scoured the schedules to be sure I didn’t leave out anything big. Then I left the poll open for readers to add choices I might have omitted.

Well, sure [...]
