Lost, "Dr. Linus": Follow another leader
A review of tonight’s terrific “Lost” coming up just as soon as I make another trip to Marshall’s… “Maybe you should be the principal.” -Locke Whatever issues I’ve had with this season of “Lost,” there is no problem with the series so great...

Parenthood, "Man Versus Possum": The Bob Dylan of autism
A review of tonight’s “Parenthood” coming up just as soon as I forget my worry beads… “Parenthood” has a huge cast, and this early in the series, I’m sure there’s both internal and external pressure to service them all as much as possible. Down the road,...

American Idol: Give it a Wurlitzer
Okay, with “American Idol” airing its only hour-long Tuesday performance episode for a long stretch, I’m gonna offer up some quick thoughts on the top 8 women while “Lost” buffers in the DVR… As Simon and Ryan said (and as Adam Bonin at Throwing Things likes to point...

Big Bang Theory, "The Precious Fragmentation": It’s one ring in a box!
Very funny “Big Bang Theory” last night, I thought. I probably would have watched an entire episode that was nothing but the guys pulling different items out of their cardboard box of geek treasures, and/or an entire episode of the guys trying to psych each other out in their hands-on-a-hard-ring...

How I Met Your Mother, "Of Course": Butt, um
A review of last night’s “How I Met Your Mother” coming up just as soon as I get on a stool so I can fall off it… “Of Course” was frustrating me for a good chunk of its running time, then saved itself in the final minutes with a reminder that “HIMYM” can...

Chuck, "Chuck vs. the Beard": Do you hear the people sing?
A review of tonight’s “Chuck” coming up just as soon as I hear the sound of liberty… “My best friend is a spy? This is unbelievable. This is the best news I’ve ever heard!” -Morgan I’m absolutely on-board with the darker direction “Chuck” has...

Oscars 2010: Can’t anybody here make a good TV show?
If you follow me on Twitter , you know most of my thoughts on last night’s Academy Awards telecast. For those who don’t (or for those who want to relive the same complaints 12 hours later), a review of the Oscar show coming up just as soon as I hijack my fellow winner’s speech…...

Big Love, "End of Days": We stand alone together
A quick review of last night’s “Big Love” season finale coming up just as soon as I try on the dress you picked out for yourself… “You sad, stupid man.” -Marilyn Densham There are several moments in “End of Days” where Bill is confronted with the hypocrisy,...

How to Make It in America, "Unhappy Birthday": Party time in NYC
Tonight’s “How to Make It in America” was the last I got to see in advance before I wrote my review of the series a month ago. While I still feel the show is engaging but too slight to merit any kind of episode-by-episode reviewing, I’m curious to hear from people who have stuck...

Oscar day open thread
The Academy Awards are tonight, and I know a lot of you will be watching. (Though not, unfortunately, if you live around here and subscribe to Cablevision .) So feel free to use this post to discuss the films you think will and/or should win in certain categories, and then to discuss the Oscar telecast...
