Four Day, Long Lines, Little Sleep
It’s been three days since I arrived back home from Comic Con 2010, and I’m still recovering. It would be easy to say that the weekend is always difficult, but that implies that the lack of sleep for those days isn’t worth the great spots I had all weekend. Before all of my coverage goes [...]
The Vampire Diaries at PaleyFest 2010
On a rainy Saturday night, the 2010 Paley Festival saluted the CW’s freshman hit, The Vampire Dairies, to a very enthusiastic crowd of fans. In attendance for the panel were executive producers Bob Levy, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, as well as cast members Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. The room was treated [...]
Community at the 2010 PaleyFest
For NBC’s Freshmen comedy, Community, the evening at the Paley Festival mimicked what must go on after a take. Cast members in attendance included: Donald Glover, Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Ken Jeong and Chevy Chase. As the elder statesmen of the cast, Chase’s humor dominated much of the panel (early on he fell backward off [...]
A Little of This and Some of That
It’s almost a comedy at this stage, but for the last two years around the Paley Festival, I’m sick. It’s a sad excuse, but those recaps have been delayed for the sake of feeling like a reason person. With the time at home, I’ve been sleeping while listening to Veronica Mars (never a bad combination, [...]
A Little Show from Altadena
In a very small room in the back of a coffee shop, The Uke Box Heroes performed last night. Comprised of Miracle Laurie (formerly of Dollhouse) and her fiancé Christopher May, the duo played mostly covers, with a few of their own songs. By the end of the show, one thing crossed my mind about [...]
Create Your Own
No apologies this time for my lack of posting—none at all—and for that I’ll work on something different to the normal blogs around here. I was going to post some abbreviated reactions, like Melissa did, but that’s not fresh or creative at this point and so I won’t bother to try and tell you about [...]
Fox’s Winter TCA
Fox’s day at The Critics’ Association winter press tour found itself in an interesting position: being the day after NBC’s presentation and the kerfuffle of late night. By the end of the day, however, Fox had created some news of its own, and left many questions about some of its upcoming programs. Bones With Bones [...]
Holiday Cheer
After all of the holiday themed episodes last week, I figured now was as good a time as any to talk about some of my favorite episodes of TV from the 2000s that stand out to me. From this seasons’ crop: Community: Comparative Religion takes the idea of multi-centralism to a new level. As the [...]
To Each and Everyone
I have been woefully derelict at posting here these last few weeks, and for that I apologize. Work has been in the way of all my TV watching (as evidenced by the fact that I’m only now watching last week’s Fringe, but in the spirit of Thanksgiving tomorrow, I’ll share what I’m thankful for in [...]
Oh Lord, It Brings Me Down
No, this isn’t a post about Friday Night Lights and now much I love it–no questions asked no matter the number of tears shed by the end of the episode. Instead, this post is about how for a little while, I can’t focus on TV for too long each day without frying my brain function. [...]
