Star: Cat Deeley Network: Fox, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 7, 2012 First THE VOICE introduced the concept of spinning chairs into a musical competition format. Now THE CHOICE does the same thing – but for the dating world. The end result – an annoying series about talentless hotties who vie for the opportunity to go on a date with guys, who probably are better off not dating non-celebrities. The first group of guys include Romeo, Jeremy Bloom, DJ Pauly D and Jason Cook and the concept is simple — with their backs turned in their slightly less state-of-the-art […]Read On »

Alas, Lane Pryce. The intriguing if not always sympathetic character on AMC’s MAD MEN, a tamped-down financial whiz who turned his back on his bosses back in England to join with the upstart leadership of the breakaway new ad agency made more than a few mistakes that came back to haunt him. After three seasons on MAD MEN, Pryce made a statement to his erstwhile colleagues in Sunday’s episode “Commissions and Fees” – by hanging himself in his office. Actor Jared Harris, who has played Pryce Seasons Three through Five of MAD MEN, knows how to keep a secret. He […]Read On »

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Distributor: 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment Suggested Retail Price: Release Date: May 22, 2012 Like BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER when it first started airing as a TV series, TEEN WOLF is a title that inherently invites giggles whenever you mention to someone they should check it out. Yet, BUFFY overcame its title and TEEN WOLF will now that it’s hit DVD for its first season. The series made its debut on MTV last summer and proved to be one of the smartest, well-made […]Read On »

TV Review: DUETS – Season 1 – “Songs That Inspire”

Cast: Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Nettles, John Legend, Robin Thicke, Quddus Network: ABC, Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 7, 2012 DUETS continues its downward spiral with another week of frustrating song choices. Song choice is still a big issue with these shows and many contestants suffered this week because of this. The theme this week is “Songs That Inspire.” Did I see this theme eight times last season on AMERICAN IDOL? Can’t anyone come up with anything new? How about “Elvis Costello Week” or something more challenging? Ugh. Still no public voting unfortunately – so the show proves to be a […]Read On »

Just when you think things couldn’t go darker in the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, we have “Commissions and Fees”. There is only one episode left of the season and I really have absolutely NO idea […]Read On »

What this means for Scott (Tyler Posey) and his friends is a whole lot of trouble. Now that Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) has become the Alpha wolf, he’s turning willing participants who want to be part of his pack. In “Omega”, […]Read On »

Distributor: Comedy Central Suggested Retail Price: $57.99 (Blu-ray), $49.99 (DVD) Release Date: March 27, 2012 It’s shocking to think SOUTH PARK has been on the air for fifteen seasons and still going strong. Yet, here is the SOUTH PARK – THE COMPLETE FIFTEENTH SEASON to remind viewers that the series, regardless of its ups and downs, is still one of the most potent and funny sources of topical animated satire. Now on Blu-ray, the 14 episodes provide a snapshot at what creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone do best – make sharp, skewered and funny observations about society (with a […]Read On »

This rebirth feels like it started with DEADWOOD, which was one of the roughest shows on TV, not only in language but also in tone and levels of violence. Now we’ve had JUSTIFIED and HELL ON WHEELS, both of which are dark and […]Read On »
