Halloween is my favorite holiday, probably because it falls only a few days after my birthday, which means I often got to have Halloween themed costume parties growing up; a pretty cool way for a kid to spend his birthday, thanks mom and dad! Each year I look forward to [...]
Last week was a little too hectic with premieres, I managed to watch every one, but I sat so much by Sunday night my back hurt; oh well, one must sacrifice for his art. This week slows down a bit, but there are a couple premieres you won’t want to [...]
In April 1986 I was finally old enough to get my driver’s permit; somewhat uncommon for the time, my mother took an active role in teaching me to drive. On our very first outing we started with driving around the block, this went so well that she directed me to [...]
We are entering the biggest week in TV premieres for fall 2013; if you’re not using TV Forecast on iOS or TV Show Favs on Android, now is the time to hit print or grab a piece of scratch paper and start copying this list so you don’t miss anything! [...]
The problem with lists is one must cut things off at some point. I decided on programs that are premiering during the month of September (with the exception of Ironside which premieres on October 2). There are three more programs I will be taking a look at when we get [...]
Grey’s Anatomy, I’m looking forward to this program for three reasons; first, I get to spend some time with a couple of my best female friends who watch this program religiously and have invited me for the premiere. Second, I have liked Patrick Dempsey since he was a young star [...]
The Big Bang Theory is probably the best mainstream comedy on TV, it has broad appeal and critical acclaim and it is well deserved; the cast is highly talented and the writing is brilliant. Most of all, I am looking forward to seeing the future evolution of Sheldon and Amy’s [...]
I have been a Family Guy fan from day one, you know, back in the Lacey Chabert days. The series is now starting its twelfth season and promises to continue the same irreverent, sometimes ghastly, style of humor that is its lifeblood. There is, however, a mystery brewing as early [...]
I’m not choosing this series because I need another cop show to watch, my viewing schedule is well full of those, in fact I may be trimming some as the year goes on. I’m watching this program because, even in a wheelchair, Blair Underwood is freaking cool! Seriously, there really [...]
International criminal conspiracy, terrorism, intrigue, FBI profilers, national security, justice, and James Spader, to use a cliché; they had me at hello. I looked everywhere for a preview version of the pilot episode and was unable to find one so I was forced to watch and re-watch the previews available [...]
For a TV fanatic such as myself the summer can be a trying time, often devoid of quality programing it can seem to drag on and on; the reward for my suffering is the fall premiere season with its glorious hours upon hours of new and returning shows. I am [...]
This week will be quite a bit busier as several new and returning programs are premiering; also we finally bid farewell to a popular series. Monday 9/16 8:00 PM – Bones (Fox), Dancing with the Stars (ABC) 9:00 PM – Sleepy Hollow (Fox) Tuesday 9/17 8:00 PM – Dads (Fox) [...]

Greetings fellow television fans, fanatics, addicts and enthusiasts; welcome to our blog about TV for the Press Democrat Online. Together we will keep up with what’s coming up, examine new and existing programs in depth and from time to time take a moment to appreciate programs from the past. In addition, we’ll delve into the deep corners of Netflix and Hulu to recommend shows from around the world. My hope is together we will find enough quality programming to fill our TV viewing schedules and never again utter the words, “All these channels and nothing to watch!”
