“Falling Skies” TNT – decent sci-fi with too much talk…

If you haven’t tuned into TNT’s “Falling Skies” series, you should give it a try. It’s a family-based drama built around Noah Wyle and his family post-alien invasion, and it’s sort of a mashup of War of the Worlds, Independence Day, and V all rolled into one. A ragtag group of renegades and “fighters” goContinue reading ““Falling Skies” TNT – decent sci-fi with too much talk…”

Charming “My Future Boyfriend” – ABC Family (review)

Ok, it’s not “art”, but it’s heartwarming and family friendly (though maybe not for the under 10’s because of the talk of “sex and lust” although it doesn’t show any of it).  What it is, instead, is a charming, somewhat predictable, and well-acted movie presented by ABC Family. Sara Rue and Barry Watson play theContinue reading “Charming “My Future Boyfriend” – ABC Family (review)”

Kyle Bornheimer — Someone please get this guy a good script!

The latest in a rash of really really really bad scripts has at least landed Kyle Bornheimer back on tv…even if Perfect Couples is probably the worst NBC sitcom ever, and I do mean ever… But at least he’s working. I don’t know if Kyle’s agent is just really bad, or if there is someContinue reading “Kyle Bornheimer — Someone please get this guy a good script!”

Primeval returns! Season 4 episode 4.1 – 4.3 (Updated)

BBC America last night aired the return of “Primeval” for Season 4 — and based on this episode, it’s a far better show than Season 3, which saw Connor and Abbie stranded in the Cretaceous Period, and many of the main characters dead. Remaining are Ben Miller, Ben Mansfield, Andrew Lee Potts, and Hannah Spearritt.Continue reading “Primeval returns! Season 4 episode 4.1 – 4.3 (Updated)”

Defying Gravity (DVD) television series

One of my favorite series from last year, DEFYING GRAVITY, finally came out on DVD this week — that means viewers can see the five episodes that ABC never aired. As a spaceship hurtles toward Venus and some type of mysterious project, they relive their relationships and friendships in flashback and onboard the spacecraft. OriginallyContinue reading “Defying Gravity (DVD) television series”

2009 TV Scorecard – Best: “V”; “Glee” and “Modern Family”

Fall series premiers are getting ever less exciting, and with shows almost completely dependent on ratings and tv commercial dollars, its no wonder that little comes our way anymore on network tv. But there is the occasional breakthrough. Those of us who have had our hearts ripped out with cancellations of such well-done shows asContinue reading “2009 TV Scorecard – Best: “V”; “Glee” and “Modern Family””

“Castle” on ABC — this is good stuff

Anyone else watching “Castle” on ABC? It’s snuck up on me, and turned into one of my favorite television shows. First, the chemistry between stars Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic is palpable. Both are terrific actors in their own right, but together, they sizzle. Second, the show is so well written — it’s witty andContinue reading ““Castle” on ABC — this is good stuff”
