I went back and forth on whether I’d live-blog the Emmys tonight, mainly because, after all, this is a TV blog.
But then I thought about it.
Where’s Battlestar Galactica? Kings? Did Jericho ever get any love?
Sure, critical darlings 30 Rock and The Office, though relatively low-rated (compared with the CSI juggernaut, anyway) get lots of Emmy [...]

I’ve fallen rather behind both in my television viewing and in my blogging, so I thought I’d catch up with a few things today, seeing as I don’t have access to HBO this weekend and can’t watch True Blood until tomorrow, at the earliest.
First up: Reaper.
I did so love this show.
I’ve said about 8 gazillion [...]

We never got around to watching Damages this year when it was actually on the air, but we dutifully recorded it to catch up with some time.
There, an entire season sat, taunting us.
I remembered that last year, with Season 1, we knew, somehow, that we were going to like the show, but just couldn’t get [...]
As it is with every year, a whole bunch of science fiction-y shows were canceled at the end of the season, but I have to give it to the networks for trying a bunch of new ones next year.
It was so hard to keep track of the comings and goings during the upfronts, but SciFi [...]

OK, I guess the TV seasons before most people had televisions were worse, but this season was for the birds, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The four major networks (that’d be CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox – sorry CW) lost an average of 16 percent of viewership in the coveted “demo” – adults 18-49. That includes [...]

I was chatting with a friend on Twitter yesterday about the crime that is the all-but-certain cancellation of Kings.
I first met Dan during the (partly successful) fan uprising to keep Jericho on the air.
For those of you unfamiliar with the late, lamented CBS show, here’s the basics in a nutshell:
A tale of a small Kansas [...]

When I first heard the premise for Kings – a modern-day interpretation of the David v. Goliath tale from that old chestnut, The Bible – I was intrigued.
I love it, frankly, when there’s a modern-day take on a classic tale – biblical or not.
One could argue, of course, that almost everything is a modern-day take [...]
