I crushed another show via Netflix last week: AMC’s The Killing. And after watching the premiere I can say that Det. Holder is my favorite character on the show. Relative unknown Joel Kinnaman is perfectly cast and plays the recovering meth junkie (he got hooked undercover while working vice) cop with the perfect mixture of […]
Netflix Recommendation: The Larry Sanders Show Season 1 (1992)
I’ve recently made habit of quickly digesting whole seasons of shows on Netflix – which is the most satisfying means of TV viewing I’ve ever had – and came across an oldie that will get a kick out of any Gen Y’er. The Larry Sanders Show, one of HBO’s first comedies, centers on a fictional […]
Praise the Gods: Battlestar Galactica Through Season 2
BSG, through season 2. Well, I just ran through a crap ton of Battlestar Galactica. I watched the miniseries about 5 years ago, and while I enjoyed it, at that time I didn’t have easy access to season 1 and therefore never ripped through it like I did this time. For those of you who […]
Boob Tube in Review: 3/26-4/1
I’ve lately started watching a crap ton of Battlestar Galactica, so look for me to toss in my two cents on that series. I also recently purchased Skyrim, so if I never post again, it’s because I took an arrow in the knee. Monday Alcatraz – look for a season one wrap up later this […]

Boom, close up on just the eyes. pause a beat. boom, open eyes. boom, cut to black. thats overplayed. Tuesday Justified – Dude running for Sheriff is […]
Mad Men Season 5 Premiere Impressions
After a very lengthy hiatus all of us Mad Men fans (we number in the tens!) were treated to a double dose with this past Sunday’s premier episode. Suffice it to say, much like most early season episodes of Mad Men, there were lots of good things set up that will most likely end up […]
The ABC’s (and NBC’s) Of Comedy
Wednesday night I watched ABC’s comedy block of the Middle, Suburgatory, Modern Family and Happy Endings, and last night NBC’s “Must See T-“ Oh, excuse me, “Comedy Night Done Right!” of Community, The Office, 30 Rock and Up All Night. Despite this being an off week of programming- mostly reruns and no shows of the […]
