Strong with the force, this movie was not. I was a little surprised when it was first announced that George Lucas would be rereleasing the beloved "Star Wars" films in 3D. As much as he has made the movies cash cows ripe for slaughter, he is...

GROUP ROUND! As I cued up the episode I actually said to my TV, "Please bring the drama. This season has been so boring so far." We did get some drama, although nothing like the hysterics of years past. But more importantly, we got very...

First, apologies for taking last week off from blogging the show. It was a case of trying to do too much in too short a time, and I ended up totally frying myself. I initially intended to recap the final two audition episodes over the...

ALL THE EMMYS! I don't care what else airs this year, this episode should win all of the Emmy Awards this year. I challenge you to find a more entertaining hour of television. We started with gigantic asses, got to drag queens body-slamming...

Children, RuPaul is back, and she's brought with her 13 new ladyboys vying to be crowned America's Next Drag Superstar. This year's baker's dozen includes a smattering of plussies, a couple of fish, a celebrity impersonator, and even a zombie...

I haven't watched "American Idol" in a very long time (I'm talking William Hung era), but man, does it make me feel better about my own singing abilities. There are a lot of good things about Texas, but I didn't think that the Lone Star State...

Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger) has left the building, leaving the show she helped build from day one.
The start of the episode picked right up from last week, with Catherine and D.B. Russell(Ted Danson) now MIA after getting ambushed. The...

I have an insanely early flight in the morning, so I'm going to make this quick and dirty. I totally forgot about the San Diego auditions Sunday, but apparently it was a mess. If there was anyone worth mentioning, have it out in the...

First I need to say, I am loving this all-stars season. This show has been had two disastrous seasons in a row and I know lots of viewers who were on the verge of giving it up. Who could blame them? Two years ago our winner sent down...

For the first time in the show's history the auditions took place in Pittsburgh. There were some genuinely interesting candidates in the bunch, and not a ton of mockery toward the unfortunate, so for me that made for a decent episode. Special...

In the trilogy of Catherine's (Marg Helgenberger) departure episodes, this week was very much the "Empire Strikes Back" of the lot: lots of ground work, lots of suspense, and a delayed resolution.
Remember the FBI-assisted case with the...

Remember when we all thought "The X Factor" would put "Idol" out of business? Yeah, not so much. Simon Cowell's much-ballyhooed singing competition certainly grabbed solid ratings in its debut season last fall, but I think we can all agree...

It seems to be the same song and dance with "CSI" this season: good ideas, disappointing execution.
The odd thing is that, despite this, the show is arguably the best it's been since Grissom (William Petersen) left, and now, not long after...

We've had two decent weeks of "Two and a Half Men," and if this week proved anything, the third time wasn't the charm.
It was a holiday episode, somewhat, but also a horrible attempt to try to explain why Walden (Ashton Kutcher) is the way that...

What good premise, what intriguing case details, what interesting developments, and then what a horrible excuse for an ending.
It was almost like "CSI" this week was too good to be true. Guns! Sexual tension! Pakistan! Government...

Touch� "Two and a Half Men", touch�.
It's been a roller coaster of a season so far, to be sure. Fresh off the Thanksgiving break however, the show returned with another, dare I say it, solid, episode, and one that managed to fix...

After a good episode last week, "House M.D." finished out the first half of the season with a lackluster stumble across the finish line.
The show started with some good legal battling, before one of the lawyers was rushed to the hospital...

This week's episode of "House M.D." started with the mad doctor himself rubbing his leg. Now, we haven't seen him pop a pain pill since he's been out of the big house, so I'm betting this is some Grade-A foreshadowing.
But for now, we got to...

I wish I could put my finger on it, but I didn't hate this week's episode as much as I have hated the show this season. Perhaps this week just seemed to have more of a natural flow. Perhaps some on-screen chemistry is finally developing. Or...

I liked this week's episode too much to hold back, so a spoiler warning for those who haven't seen it yet.
This week "CSI" came out with guns a blazing: Three cases, several twists, and packing excitement the show hasn't had in some time.
We...
