Chuck, "Chuck vs. the Beard": ...
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...
Chuck, "Chuck vs. the Fake Name&quo...
“Chuck” is back post-Olympics, and I have a review of tonight’s episode coming up just as soon as my tastebuds fist-bump each other… “I hate those will-they-or-won’t-they things. Just do it already!” -Paulie Walnuts “If you and this girl love each other...
How I Met Your Mother, "Hooked"...
A review of tonight’s “How I Met Your Mother” coming up just as soon as I get an in at the roller rink… On the last day of winter press tour, the TCA got to watch the “HIMYM” cast(*) perform the table read of the script for “Hooked.” On the plus side:...
The Marriage Ref: Do I know you?...
A review of the heinous, Jerry Seinfeld-produced “The Marriage Ref” coming up just as soon as you laugh hysterically at all my jokes… When no “Marriage Ref” review screeners were sent out, I assumed it was NBC being high-handed, as the network tends to be even though it’s...
‘Southland’ season 2 review:...
In today’s column, I review the new season of “Southland” , about which my feelings are unchanged from midway through the show’s brief first season: the stuff with the two uniform cops in the car is pretty good, and if the show was just that, it would be fine, but the rest doesn’t...
Big Love, "Next Ticket Out": I...
Well, nothing on tonight’s penultimate episode of “Big Love” season four was as gonzo or ridiculous as last week’s Mexican adventure, but there’s still too much going on and I have yet to see anything to convince me that Bill’s political campaign isn’t the most...
Big Love, "Sins of the Father"...
The Super Bowl and then the busy week of programming that followed it kept me from watching last week’s “Big Love” until this weekend, when I watched it as a screener double feature with tonight’s episode. Gotta say that the show at the moment is feeling way, way too busy for...
Friday Night Lights, "Thanksgiving&...
A review of the “Friday Night Lights” fourth season finale (and NBC viewers, I’m going to repost all these reviews once the season starts airing there on April 30) coming up just as soon as I bring my flash-fryer… “Because Friday night… Friday night, there will be...

A review of “Lost” coming up just as soon as I go to the food court… “What are you doing?” -Jin “Escaping.” -Kate “This ain’t ‘Sliding Doors’ or any other kind of ‘What If?’ story. Promise.” -Damon Lindelof After the...
Friday Night Lights, "I Can’t...
A review of tonight’s “Friday Night Lights” (which, as usual, is airing on DirecTV’s 101 Network Wednesdays at 9) coming up just as soon as I crawl out of the room… “I can’t take care of a baby.” -Becky Last week, I complained that the Becky pregnancy...
