Stars: Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Drew Roy, Maxim Knight, Connor Jessup, Sechelle Gabriel, Mpho Koaho, Peter Shinkoda, Colin Cunningham and Sarah Sanguin Carter Writer: Melinda Hsu Taylor Director: Fred Toye Network: TNT, Sunday nights Original Telecast: July 3, 2011 Okay, so three episodes is the limit for me on how a new series can take a limited story structure and milk it until it’s unbearable. FALLING SKIES has finally exceeded my limit. With “Grace” we’re stuck with another episode where Tom Mason (Noah Wyle) has to go on some sort of mission, avoid Skitters (the aliens), deal with […]Read On »

As Fleur (Amy Manson) takes the baby back to Rudi (Langley Kirkwood) […]Read On »

TV Review: WILFRED – Season 1 – “Trust”

Elijah Wood, Jason Gann and Fiona Gubelmann in WILFRED - Season 1 - "Trust" | ©2011 FX/Ray Mickshaw

Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Dorian Brown, Fiona Gubelmann Writer: David Zuckerman Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: June 30, 2011 The second episode of WILFRED revolves in large part around the endless credulity of main character Ryan (Elijah Wood). While a lot of this is funny, given Ryan’s previous experience with the duplicity of the canine Wilfred (Jason Gann), it seems like our human boy should now have a sense of when his leash is being yanked. Trying to get into the good graces of Jenna (Fiona Gubelmann), Ryan promises to take Wilfred to the […]Read On »

Stars: Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman Writer: Al Septian & Turi Meyer Director: Turi Meyer Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast:  October 29, 2010 EDITOR’S NOTE: Even though SMALLVILLE is over, ASSIGNMENT X missed a few episodes during Season 10 and will be filling in the reviews during the summer as The CW re-airs the show. CHILDREN OF THE CORN meets SMALLVILLE in this strange little episode called “Harvest.” The episode finds Clark (Tom Welling) and Lois (Erica Durance) on a deserted road in the middle of nowhere where they get a flat tire (because […]Read On »

So put your feet up, grab some popcorn and check out this week’s selections. MOVIES SUCKER PUNCH – SUCKER PUNCH is like one movie-length music video.

Stars: Matt Oberg, Devin Clark, Pete Holmes, Julie Klausner, Natasha Leggero, Kurt Metzger, Larry Murphy, Mike O’Gorman, Randy Pearlstein, Michael-Leon Wooley Writer: Daniel Powell Animation Directors: Aaron Augenblick, Devin Clark Network: Comedy Central, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 30, 2011 When UGLY AMERICANS arrived last year, I was intrigued by the premise which mixed humans, demons and monsters in an alternate reality version of New York, but I still wasn’t ready to give it a chance. Boy was I missing something. Now that it’s made it to season 2, I’m hooked. It’s clear creator Devin Clark has crafted one […]Read On »

Verrone Director:  Ray Claffey Network: Comedy Central, airs Thursdays Original Telecast:  June 30, 2011 After last week’s exceptional “Benderama” episode of FUTURAMA which featured none other than Bender becoming a super-being, this week finds Bender committing suicide (or was he murdered) and ends up a ghost that haunts the machines at Planet Express in order to murder Fry. It all starts when Fry saves the life of a human over a robot during a parade mishap. Fry believes human life is more precious than robot […]Read On »

TV Review: LOVE BITES – “Stand and Deliver”

  Stars: Becki Newton, Greg Grunberg, Constance Zimmer Writer: David McHugh, Matt Flannegan Director: John David Cotes Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 30, 2011 It was bound to happen, but LOVE BITES takes a huge step backwards with “Stand and Deliver” after several weeks of striking a nice balance between its characters, storytelling and comedy. Nothing works in “Stand and Deliver,” which is a shame since I think this show has improved considerably since the pilot. The big issue comes back to storytelling and the guest cast – and this week it’s weak on all fronts (aside […]Read On »

The world of New York City is not what it seems in the Comedy Central animated series UGLY AMERICANS (which has its second season premiere tonight). In the hilariously bizarre series (which features animation in the EC Comics vein), Mark Lilly is our hero – a social worker for the Department of Integration who has to deal with zombies, demons and wizards on a regular basis. The key to UGLY AMERICANS success is it plays everything very seriously, deriving the comedy out of the outlandish situations surrounding our hero. Creator Devin Clark spoke with ASSIGNMENT X this week in an […]Read On »
