that is the 100th episode of Family Guy (if the three edited-for-TV episodes of Stewie Griffin: the Untold Story are counted). Not poor for a show that was canceled for a few years.

“All-But-Certain-To-Be Next President” (Cold Open): that was a funny piece, but it didn’t pack the punch I would have expected for a season premiere open. Oh! Hi, Darrell Hammond. Still here, huh? No, it’s not a problem, man. It’s just that you’ve been crashing here...

I’m trying to decide on my feelings approximately Aliens in America, the new comedy premiering Monday at 8:30 on the The CW. When I first reviewed the show back in June as part of a preview of The CW’s new shows, I said that it actually had some potential However, after reviewing the re-shot...

Spoilers, rumors, and foilers, oh my! With the World Wide Web at the hands of fans, secrets aren’t always too secret these days. While scripted shows like Lost might possibly put out their own foilers — red herrings to lead the audiences astray — often the spoilers for shows such as...

(S04E01) “Because I hate owing you.” - Colby Yeah, yeah… I know. Here it is, the end of the the fall premiere week and I’m blogging approximately a show that only seven months ago I said I was done with. “It’s bland” I decried, and it’s lost the spark...

(S01E01) Los Angeles and Toronto — two cities that I will probably never end up moving into or approach. Why? considering of the dense population of vampires that prepare those cities their domestic. I could understand Toronto: it’s cold and gloomy in the winter and you can transverse the...

You know how a lot of kids will actually play with an empty box instead of the toy that came inside the box? I’m thinking something like that is going to happen tomorrow when Nickelodeon goes dark for three hours: a bunch of kids just staring at the black screen waiting for it to come back on,...

I’ve been wondering when actress Bonnie Hunt was going to return to television. She’s had several short-lived sitcoms (all rather good and different - Grand, The Bonnie Hunt Show, Life with Bonnie, The Building) and beyond her film work (Cars, Cheaper By The Dozen) I heard she had plus signed...

Sometimes it can be a great thing (Lou Grant) and sometimes the results can be less than ideal (Joey). Here are some spinoff ideas that I...

 So, here we are.

First the apology, next the early look. Dear Tina, I’ve always liked 30 Rock, but I’ve never loved it. perhaps it was considering my concentration was on Studio 60 or perhaps it was considering I wasn’t in the right frame of intellect when I watched the pilot. Or possibly I just didn’t...

Time for one of the best ironic Bush moments in recent weeks! Yep, it’s the president’s very educational slip-up. possibly it’s the sleep deprivation, but I spent most of the episode quietly chuckling at Jon’s “‘Childrens do learn’? Oh, does they?!” Damn...
