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 [...]

I caught the season premiere of Weeds last night, thanks to an advance screener I was lucky enough to score.

I have to admit, I wasn’t that excited about the show’s June 8 return. Partly that’s because of the way the last season ended, with Nancy driving to Esteban’s lair and, in the face of certain [...]

Don’t freak out? How could you not freak out if you were a part of last night’s Chuck Me Mondays kick-off?

The blur of tweets flew by a dozen at a time until #chuckmemondays trended to Twitter’s top five topics. It’s an imperfect forum for such a mass conversation, but it’s the hip platform and therefore [...]

Chuck Me Mondays kicks off tonight, and my Chuck Versus the Hiatus flashback recaps start tomorrow.

Chuck fans across the globe—seriously—will be tuning in to the pilot episode at 9 ET tonight via WB.com, their Season 1 DVDs and iTunes or other downloads. And as they do, they’ll be twittering their reactions and chatting it up [...]

If I could make two requests of The Office writers/creators that had nothing to do with the main storylines or stylistic choices of the show, they’d be as follows:

Don’t overuse Creed Bratton; and
Stop making webisodes.

Alas, I’m too late. They went ahead and released the latest series of webisodes, Blackmail. I couldn’t even be bothered to [...]

This made me laugh. The guy hasn’t seemed to age.

Given my line of work, I’m all about attribution. So while I’m not shy about jumping on the Chuck Me Mondays bandwagon—like I plan to do starting Monday Tuesday after my Monday viewing—I have to give credit where it’s due.

If you’re a Chuck fan with any online aptitude at all, you’ve probably spent some time [...]

I figured when I put this one up that I’d get an onslaught of angry Chucksters bemoaning the 10-month wait for new episodes.

But NBC’s announcement of Chuck’s renewal outweighed any ire as most of those who responded to Remote Access’s recent readers poll told us they’re just happy to have their favorite spy team back. [...]
