Then, of course, there were all the added channels. I had basic cable before. And by basic, I mean BASIC. I had the broadcast netorks, …

USA Network’s latest foray into original summer programming is Royal Pains, the dramedy starring Mark Feuerstein as a talented surgeon who finds himself working as a private physician for the uber-wealthy in the Hamptons. Initially I thought this was going to be a glossy, quirky series, the equivalent of a summer beach read. After previewing the first episode, however, it’s …

Pissed off that we don’t get to see this series …

Rarely do I watch a pilot and immediately have to watch it again. Want to hug it. Want to roll around in it. Lost was one of those shows (I’ve since given up on it and plan to watch the last couple of seasons when they come out on DVD). Chuck was another one. And now…it’s Glee. I’m not a …
