Going to the Millers' country cabin was a refreshing change of pace in the episode "Cabin Fever." The three couples were more on neutral grounds and forced to interact with each other. Tom, Trina, Janet and Roger were "out of their ususal element," which made them more vulnerable. And I thought that I was going [...]

We must first give "Swingtown" credit for playing Paul Simon's "Kodachrome" and the Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" on last week's soundtrack. That as opposed to a cover band cranking out "Me and You and A Dog Named Boo." And wouldn't it be interesting to find out if all the tunes are [...]

Talk about one-track minds…. Do Tom and Trina Decker (below) think about anything else but sex? Those two are always obsessing about three facets of that subject: their most recent encounter, their current encounter or their upcoming encounter. But more than just one-dimensional horndogs, the Decker duo are becoming extremely dull. Especially Susan, who, [...]

Izzie on "Grey's Anatomy" has rejected consideration for an Emmy nom this TV year, reasoning, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination, and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the Academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention. In addition, I did not [...]

If you dare? JUST KIDDING!

CBS is hyping this show as if viewers will be shocked—SHOCKED—by its content. But here's the real skinny: The original Dr. Scholl's sandals, Tab with the removable flip-top tabs, trimline phones, eight-track tapes….

OK, we "get" it. It's the 1970s—the summer of '76 in a middle-class Chicago suburb, to be exact. The [...]

Let me introduce you to CBS's new one-hour primetime drama, "Swingtown." The Eye network says that the show "traces two generations of friends and neighbors as they forge intimate connections and explore new freedoms during the culturally transformative decade of the 1970s."

It debuts Thursday, June 5 at 10 p.m.

The gory details: In July of 1976, [...]

(Yes, I know the show's season finale was the week before last, but I'm hoping everyone will ignore that fact.)

The seventh-season close of our Superman-in-training series came with the obvious departures—or semi-departures, from what "TV Guide" and "EW" have said—of two main characters: Lex and Lana. Lex FINALLY found out Clark's true status, as a [...]

Let's get one thing straight: If one of my best friends called me a "stupid bitch" —and I don't care WHAT the circumstances were—then I would make him/her beg (BEG!) on his/her knees for forgiveness. But that's just me. It's obviously not how Izzie felt when Alex called her that when she was trying [...]

…for this season only, of course.

Last week, Cristina has shed her previous mopey self, thank goodness, and was back in her crabby action, especially when she told Lexie flat-out that she didn't like her. See, I'm all for that upfront truthfulness, rather than faking it and pussyfooting around the other person. But keep in mind [...]

If you like CW's primetime shows now, chances are you'll like its fall 2008 line-up, as there will be only three new additions: "90210," Tuesdays from 8 to 9 p.m.; "Surviving the Filthy Rich," which follows "90210″ from 9 to 10 p.m.; and "Stylista," Wednesdays from 9 to 10 p.m., which is from Tyra Banks [...]

Gerard Bocaccio was one of the original executive producers of the Friday-night freshman series, which is produced by the high-powered production companies Joel Silver Television and Warner Bros. Television. Rabid fans of the show and its male star, Alex O'Loughlin will be bummed to learn that "Moonlight" seems to have been passed over for a [...]

The guy's definitely gone overboard. The proof? He got out of bed to continue his Veritas and Traveler hunts despite the searing pain that all of those post-slashing chest stitches—at least 100—must have caused him. His emotional drive overcame his physical pain. (Even druggie Dr. Gregory House wouldn't have enough Vicodin to quell that discomfort.) [...]

Have you ever faced the problem of being at work and obsessing about a coworker's tongue—being in your mouth? It's a conundrum that could happen only on "Grey's Anatomy." That's what Meredith was going through, even when she and McDreamy were injecting a virus into a guy's brain. Must have been tough concentrating about both [...]

He done good last night, no? How does one go about directing himself? I'm no Steven Spielberg, but as far as I could tell, Tom did a darn good job of doing exactly that in last night's episode, especially since he was in so many of the scenes. Perhaps we have another Ron Howard on [...]

It was great to have Miranda Bailey back to her inimitable, no-nonsense self last night. Her sass is one reason we love her. It's another reason we love Cristina, but that girl has turned into a major wimp, what with all her sucking up to Hahn. It's painful to watch. Had Cristina [...]

A frightening thought, right? But that's what happens tonight on "Smallville," on the Tom Welling-directed episode "Apocalypse." Fueled by his guilt over his belief that Smallville would have been better off without him and that he inadvertently caused of the deaths of Jonathan, Lionel and that Swann chick, Jor-El arranges for Clark to see what [...]

Just when I thought of a great name for Meredith and Derek as a couple —  along the lines of Bennifer and TomKat —  they're broken up. Here it is: Deredith. Great, right? Anyway, I'm glad the two of them have split. Mer's whining was grating on my nerves and eardrums. And, not being a big fan [...]

A long time—way too long—has passed since the Seattle Grace gang checked into our TV sets. In tonight's installment, "Where the Wild Things Are," it's been six weeks since (the producers' way of acknowleging the strike) Derek and Meredith ended (thank goodness) their dopey, whiney and dysfunctional relationship and Der starting dating nurse Rose (right).

Elsewhere, [...]

Due to circumstances beyond my control (I changed residences, the insouciant cable guy didn't hook up everything properly, etc.), I couldn't watch last week's ep, called "Descent," until last night.

And gee, Lex is one hurtin' psycho. Killing his father via a 40-story window toss, doing away with the imaginary younger version of himself by throwing [...]

So yesterday I posted that it would be great if some humor was injected into Kara's attempt to teach Clark how to fly. One of my scenarios was that they'd be in the barn's loft during the lesson and it wouldn't turn out well. He's jump out fall flat on his face (though unhurt, of [...]
