Best, worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst in the past week of TV, as well as a sneak peek at what’s to come. Highlights1. “Rescue Me.” A few weeks ago we saw Callie Thorne’s Emmy clip. This past week we saw Denis Leary’s. Though the setup was a bit contrived, his angry, self-defensive, guilt-riddled conversation with his dead family members while in a drunken stupor was absolutely gripping. Turns out … Read More »

‘My Boys’ season short but sweet

by TV

Whoa, the season finale of “My Boys” snuck up on me last night. That was a short season, just nine episodes. That might have been my favorite episode of the season too, so now I’m extra bummed that it’s over. Overall, it was an uneven season that got too predictable and cutesy at times. PJ’s romantic merry-go-round finally stopped and she started to settle down with Bobby, and that actually worked … Read More »

Best and worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst in the past week of TV, as well as a sneak peek at what’s to come. Highlights 1. “Gossip Girl.” And so ends my first season as an inexplicable fan of this show. The finale offered mysteries (Is Serena too cool to wear a graduation cap?), fakeouts (Eric’s boyfriend Jonathan as Gossip Girl? Nahh.), cliffhangers (Blair and Georgina NYU dorm-mates?!?) and shockers (Chuck … Read More »

Best & worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst in the past week of TV, as well as a sneak peek at what’s to come. Highlights 1. “Lost.” I had super high expectations for the season finale, and they were met. Surpassed, even. The introduction of Jacob and his evil counterpart made all the previous conflicts (Losties/Others, Hostiles/Dharma, Ben/Widmore) seem insignificant in comparison. And what’s it say when Juliet’s detonating an H-bomb (a … Read More »

Best, worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst of the past week on TV, and a look ahead to what’s coming up. Highlights 1. “Rescue Me.” Taking a break from the bleak and grim, they turned out what was probably the single funniest episode in the series. And still had time for scenes of heartbreaking sadness and a dramatic rescue. I love this show. 2. “Lost.” It was only a couple of lines, … Read More »

About last night: “Reaper,” “Rescue Me,” “My Boys”

by TV

Tuesdays have suddenly become my favorite nights for TV. Between “Reaper,” “My Boys” and “Rescue Me,” there’s a little bit of everything — supernatural thrills, comedy and gripping drama. Things kicked off with another good episode of “Reaper.” Mostly because it had a lot of Nina and saw the goodbye of Kristen. Nina is fast becoming my favorite character, she rocks every scene she’s in with that sweet, naive, yet homicidal personality. Loved her … Read More »

Best, worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst of the past week on TV, and a look ahead to what’s coming up. Highlights 1. The last five minutes of “Lost.” It was a kinda slow, uneventful episode that didn’t raise or answer many questions. One of those setting-the-stage episodes. Until the last scene. It’s not every day you see a supposed good guy shoot a child and be pretty much justified in … Read More »
