COUGAR TOWN is back on Tuesday, y’all! I can’t believe that it’s been almost nine months since the last new episode aired. I hope I’ve gone through enough bottles of wine since then to make the cul-de-sac crew proud. No one should be surprised that COUGAR TOWN is one of my favorite television shows. I’ve [...]

SMASH Wants To Be Your Star
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged NBC, Smash, television on February 6, 2012 | 2 Comments »
Did you hear? SMASH is finally premiering tonight on NBC! If you haven’t heard, then I seriously suggest you visit a website or turn on the television or have a conversation with a human being. Thanks to NBC’s disappointing fall season, SMASH is facing more pressure to be a hit than any of the show’s [...]
Farewell to ALL MY CHILDREN

I’ve been wanting to write something about ALL MY CHILDREN for quite awhile, but it’s been difficult for me to accept that it’s actually coming to an end. Today. ALL MY CHILDREN is ending today. What a sad sentence to write. Created by soap legend Agnes Nixon, ALL MY CHILDREN debuted on ABC on January [...]

Who cares about Sunday Night Football? The Emmys are here! (What’s that? Everyone cares about Sunday Night Football? Then this post is for TV nerds only.) I hope you have your watch parties planned because the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards air Sunday at 8ET/5PT. On FOX! Ugh, FOX. Remember this disaster? Hopefully no one tries [...]

Hey you! It’s part 2 of 3 of “Returning Shows You Should Watch.” Read part 1 here. And read below to see why I think you should tune into RAISING HOPE and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES this fall. RAISING HOPE (FOX) I wasn’t addicted to Greg Garcia’s MY NAME IS EARL, but I can’t get enough [...]
Only In Soaps: The Two Todd Mannings
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged soaps, OLTL, television on August 11, 2011 | 3 Comments »
I can’t lie. I’ve been waiting for this storyline for eight years. In 2003, Roger Howarth left ONE LIFE TO LIVE after portraying the controversial (Understatement!) leading man Todd Manning since 1992. Shortly after Howarth’s departure, Trevor St. John stepped into the role. But this was an atypical recast. In most soap opera recasts, differences in [...]

It’s August, which means it’s almost September, which means the fall television season is almost upon us! Fortunately, the wait between season finales and season premieres isn’t quite so agonizing anymore. Remember the days before Netflix and Hulu and TV on DVD? Remember the days before USA summer programming and THE BACHELORETTE? All we had [...]
My Emmy Nomination Wish List

Emmy nominations will be announced on Thursday, and as usual I am filled with a mixture of excitement and dread. I used to enjoy the Emmys much more when I knew less about television and the politics of award season. How I long to go back to my childhood in Kansas when nominees and winners [...]
Drink Up, Oscar!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged awards, drinking, Oscars, reactions on February 28, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Apparently people weren’t entirely pleased with Sunday night’s Oscar telecast. Anne Hathaway was overeager. James Franco was undereager. The winners were predictable. No one could speak in coherent sentences. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Obviously all these Oscar haters didn’t have four bottles of wine between two people and a handy drinking game to keep them [...]
