What’s on my TiVo for this TV season

Posted by Adam on October 1st, 2006

I’m a little behind on my TV. The new season just sort of snuck up on me. Luckily my TiVo is more alert than me so it has already started recording some of my favorite shows. I just had to fill in the new shows. At the same time I decided to clean out […]

TV show review: Ugly Betty

Posted by Adam on September 14th, 2006

Ugly Betty looks like more an ABC Family movie of the week than a weekly show. A feel good movie for 15-year-old girls who are at the age where they feel like everyone in the world is prettier than them. (It would be funny if now I just blurted out how much I loved […]

TV show review: The Knights of Prosperity

Posted by Adam on September 14th, 2006

Formerly called “Let’s Rob …”, The Knights of Prosperity premieres on ABC Tuesday, October 17 at 9 p.m. Take my advice, plan to watch something else.
This is the kind of show that you watch and wonder how it ever got greenlighted. There are some shows that are probably worse (The Happy Hour), but at […]

TV show review: Jericho

Posted by Adam on September 13th, 2006

CBS is on a roll with me. First, I had to admit that I really liked The Class. Then I sit down to watch Jericho and again come away impressed.
In case you are reading this from outside the U.S. or one of the 4 people in America who haven’t seem the multitude of trailers, […]

TV show review: The Class

Posted by Adam on September 13th, 2006

I just watched The Class, a new show debuting September 18 on CBS, and was surprised how much I liked it. I’m not a big fan of network shows and CBS is probably my least favorite of the networks. But I really did like this show.
Kudos for CBS having the foresight to put it […]

TV show review: Happy Hour

Posted by Adam on September 10th, 2006

Happy Hour is about … you know what. It’s not worth it. This show sucks out loud. Please don’t watch it.
The main character, a guy named Henry who just got dumped by his girlfriend is boring. He moves in with Larry, who is as cookie-cutter as it gets. They called central casting and ordered […]

TV show review: ‘Til Death

Posted by Adam on September 10th, 2006

‘Til Death stars Brad Garrett of Everybody Loves Raymond fame and Eddie Kaye Thomas, American Pie’s Finch, as guys on the opposite ends of the marriage spectrum. Thomas plays Jeff Woodcock who just got married and moved in next door to Garrett’s character, Eddie. Eddie and his wife have been married for many years […]

TV show review: The Singles Table

Posted by Adam on September 10th, 2006

I just watched a new pilot today for an NBC show called The Singles Table. It’s a comedy revolving around a group of strangers who meet at a wedding because they were all relegated to the table in the back at the reception.
John Cho (from American Pie, Harold and Kumar) is a recent divorcee […]

CW to run premieres on MSN

Posted by Adam on August 31st, 2006

I’m always in favor of using technology to do something better. Especially when it’s so obvious. In this case, it’s the CW agreeing to run Veronica Mars, Everybody Hates Chris, and Runaway (new pilot) on MSN.com a week before they premiere on TV.
Runaway will debut online Sept. 18. The first hour of Veronica Mars […]
