The episodes this season have fallen into two categories. Category A are the episodes that think outside the box. They mix things up and they take the characters to new heights and they’re insanely, insanely good. Category B is phoning it in Grey’s: the show we’ve been subjected to for the better part of two [...]

Over fifty percent of the population can whip off their top and look in the mirror and see supple breasts. I use the word supple because a lot of people are pretty flat and for this reason alone they can walk around topless or even appear on TV sans shirt and no one will say [...]

At my funeral I would like for the entire current cast of the Vampire Diaries (I’m looking at you dead Aunt Jenna) to stand in a line over my coffin and recite in unison, “This, is my Mystic Falls…” continuing on with the opening exposition-based speech they have been giving at the beginning of each [...]

True story: I did not expect Mr. Feeny to die until about half way through this episode. Usually I can spot the presumed dead on Grey’s a mile away. They get half a season to worm themselves into our graces and then are unceremoniously killed so characters can cry, or they’re Mark/Lexie/George and the actor [...]

LOL. I feel like Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy were sitting behind me while I was writing last week’s recap this morning and then were all “Fuck this bitch – you want awesome – ANNE FRANK NEVER DIED! HOW DO LIKE THAT, HATER?” Oh my god Falchuk and Murphy, I like it. I like it [...]

This is a recap of LAST week’s episode. This week’s is forthcoming. I deliberately waited a week to write up last week’s American Horror Story in brief, because I knew that immediately after suffering through hurricane Sandy I would be getting hit with a Nor’easter, which was perfect, since this episode takes place entirely during [...]

Graham Yost was developing another show besides Justified and no one told me? And it is about Keri Russell as a spy which MI:3 taught us is totally awesome and believable? And she’s actually an undercover KGB operative in the 80s? Nothing about this sounds bad. Nothing. This isn’t just my love for Cold War [...]

Last week it seemed like the writing staff of The Good Wife had no real idea what the hell they were doing with Kalinda’s husband, Nick. They’d grown so accustomed to painting Kalinda and her small circle of friends and lovers as mysteries that when it’s time to lay down some truths and finally expose [...]

For all my sniping, Rebecca-the-Original (Never under any circumstances to be confused with my DJ name, The Original Rebecca) is arguably the most tragic character on a show rife with characters that make it their daily business to convince you that no, they are the most tragic, and the most hurt-feelinged, etc. Let’s examine the [...]

  How angry do you think Steve McQueen’s grandson was when he read the script for this week. Do you think he put down the script and was all “Wait, wait, wait, hold the goddamn phone – we’re having a motocycle episode and I’m not even in the SCENE? I AM STEVE MCQUEEN GRANDSON. I [...]
