Tyler Posey in TEEN WOLF - Season 1 | ©2011 MTV

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Jeff Davis Director: Russell Mulcahy Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Airdate: June 6, 2011 TEEN WOLF has a lot of promise and Tyler Posey as the title character has a lot of charisma, plus great chemistry with Dylan O’Brien as his best bud Stiles, but here’s hoping that the show’s plotting gets a little more original than the “A” storyline in “Second Chance at First Line.” Scott (Posey) and Stiles have figured out that Scott’s lycanthropy isn’t triggered just by the full […]Read On »

TV Review: TEEN WOLF – Season 1 – “Wolf Moon”

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Jeff Davis Director: Russell Mulcahy Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Airdate: June 5, 2011 Whether you found 1985’s feature film TEEN WOLF, starring Michael J. Fox in makeup that looked more simian than lupine when he wolfed out, adorable or incredibly annoying, just forget the whole thing when it comes to MTV’s TEEN WOLF. The two share a title, the basic concept of a teenaged male werewolf and presumably a lot of legal agreements. That’s it. MTV’s TEEN WOLF fits somewhere in […]Read On »

TV Review: FRANKLIN & BASH – Season 1 – “Pilot”

Breckin Meyer, Malcolm McDowell and Mark-Paul Gosselaar in FRANKLIN & BASH - Season 1 |©2011 TNT

Stars: Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Breckin Meyer, Malcolm McDowell, Claire Coffee, Garcelle Beauvais, Kumail Nanjani, Dana Davis, Reed Diamond Writers: Bill Chais & Kevin Falls Director: Jason Ensler Network: TNT, Wednesdays @ 9 PM Airdate: June 1, 2011 There’s no law saying that legal dramas have to be (insert LAW & ORDER’s signature chong-chong sound here) dead serious. The annals of television are full of courtroom jesters, from the days of NIGHT COURT to the much of the canon of David E. Kelley. So there shouldn’t be a problem with FRANKLIN & BASH, TNT’s new hour-long buddy lawyer show, trying to add […]Read On »

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Michael Grant Terry, Ryan O’Neal, Kevin Alejandro Writers: Hart Hanson & Stephen Nathan Director: Ian Toynton Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: May 19, 2011 Let’s cut to the chase here. When a TV series has a star who becomes pregnant in real life, the options are to write her out of several episodes, stash her behind desks and potted plants while she is “showing,” or just write the pregnancy into the series. As Emily Deschanel is the title character on BONES, writing her out […]Read On »

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Ryan Cartwright, Tina Majorino, Arnold Vosloo Writers: Carla Kettner & Karyn Usher, story by Carla Kettner Director: Alex Chapple Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: May 12, 2011 BONES has been doing the will they/won’t they dance for the entirety of its six-season run. It’s a measure of the skill of “A Hole in the Heart” that the matter is finally addressed, but quietly, so that our emotions and sense of suspense are both fully engaged elsewhere at the time. Booth (David Boreanaz) is still […]Read On »

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Michael Grant Terry, Iyal Podell Writer: Keith Foglesong Director: Francois Velle Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: April 28, 2011 On BONES, our heroine Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is known for speaking her mind. Indeed, by now, all of her friends expect this of her. However, they don’t always expect it of each other, much less themselves. “The Pinocchio in the Planter” takes a playful, in-character look at just how much honesty is a good thing vs. how much exceeds everyone’s comfort levels. The subject […]Read On »

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, Geoff Stults, Saffron Burrows, Michael Clarke Duncan, Danny Trejo, Suzie Plakson, Carlo Rota Writer: Hart Hanson, based on characters created by Kathy Reichs, additional characters based on THE LOCATOR books by Richard Greener Director: Dan Sackheim Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: April 21, 2011 Just when we’d forgotten all about it, BONES hosts a pilot spin-off hour, “The Finder.” When Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) are called out to identify a corpse in the Everglades, they quickly deduce that murder has been done. The victim […]Read On »

TV Review: BONES – Season 6 – “The Truth in the Myth”

David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel in BONES - Season 6 - "The Truth in the Myth" | ©2011 Fox/Ray Mickshaw

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Ryan Cartwright Writers: Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley Director: Chad Lowe Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: April 14, 2011 On occasion, BONES resembles an older Fox series involving the FBI, namely THE X-FILES. One of the primary differences between the two shows is that on X-FILES, the explanation was almost always otherworldly, whereas on BONES, no matter how weird the clues, the culprit will turn out to be as human as the investigators. Even with this caveat (if it’s a spoiler to say […]Read On »

TV Review: BEING HUMAN – Season 1 – “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Me Killing You” – Season Finale

Sam Witwer and Meaghan Rath in BEING HUMAN - Season 1 - "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Me Killing You" | ©2011 Syfy/Philippe Bosse

Stars: Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath, Sam Huntington, Mark Pellegrino, Kristen Hager, Terry Kinney Writers: Jeremy Carver & Anna Fricke Director: Adam Kane Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: April 11, 2011 BEING HUMAN ends its first season on a note of suitable completion, if not genius. It flips around who gets to be the hero of the piece from its British forerunner to somewhat tamer effect, but still generates enough good will for the main characters to keep us invested in their challenges, both separate and shared. After the previous episode culminated in vampire leader Bishop (Mark Pellegrino) staking […]Read On »
