By Stu Robinson, On Sunday ABC aired the season finale of Pan Am. Whether it was the series finale remains to be seen. The success of cable network AMC’s Mad Men prompted ABC and NBC to present their own 1960s period pieces this season. But any potential ratings battle between Pan Am and NBC’s The Playboy Club ended before it began when NBC chose to air the latter on Monday nights against CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 and ABC’s...
By Stu Robinson, CBS teased Season 2, Episode 16 of Hawaii Five-0 by implying the team would lose a member. Well, you don’t need to be Einstein to notice which actor’s name isn’t in the opening credits. Goodbye Lauren German. German’s character, Lori Westin, was the big surprise at the beginning of Season 2. The new governor, concerned about some of McGarrett’s tactics, assigned her to Five-0 by to be his eyes and...
That was fun! I had to rewind through the credits to see if that was an Edlund episode I enjoyed it so much! (it wasn’t) And a big Thank You to the THEN previously monkeys who confirmed my suspicion that there had been a previous clown run-in for Sammy on this show. Sometimes the THENs are annoying, but sometimes they are a godsend for someone like me, whose memory is faulty. Anyhoo! We open with poor little Sammy being chased by a...
Honestly, could things get more bleak? That was the most depressing.thing.evar! This, however, does not mean I didn’t like it, because I did, but there was a part of me that wanted to jump in front of Sam’s gun there at the end… So we begin this week’s adventure with the boys in yet another NotMetallicar (I miss the old girl!), and Dean suffering from not only grief, but is burnt out in the worst way. Sam has found a...
By Stu Robinson, After a couple of milquetoast episodes, CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 brought some meat to the luau in Episode 14. Joe comes clean and reveals Shelbourne’s identity. Danno helps his ex-wife deliver her baby. The ambush of a delivery truck leads to a terrorist threat. The episode begins with a flashback to 1992 and the day McGarrett’s father sent him away to the mainland. “It’s not safe for you here...
My DVR most likely hates me. It does its duty, and does it well, but I just keep adding more and more shows to it. I wouldn’t be surprized if it slides itself off the television one night and strangles me in my sleep. JJ Abrams can do just about anything and I will tune in with fangirly glee. I am that easy. I do, however, have the sense to expect a big pile of crap along with my glee. No point in having wild expectations, only to...
Dear Supernatural, I hate episodes where those shiny Winchester brothers are separated almost the whole time. Please cease and desist with these storylines and let those boys hunt together as intended. Love and Kisses, Erika Ahem. I am gonna breeze through the first episode after the winter break, because it was just okay, and I want to start the drool-fest over ‘Time After Time After Time’. We start off ‘Adventures in...
