Writing categories are some of my favorite categories in all entertainment awards shows, but they really do rule supreme for me at the Emmys. Why? Because TV writing can be so good and emotionally taxing, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, but it can also absolutely suck. So any award that appreciates good writing is one that…
It looks like we have the first leaked Pilot of the fall season. This time, it's the CW's The Flash. The show is a spinoff of their highly successful Arrow series, this time following Barry Allen, better known as The Flash. To respect the network I will not be posting a full review until the…
Girl Meets World is hard to review. I don’t mean that it’s particularly complicated, because it isn’t. I don’t mean that anything is difficult to discuss, because it’s not. But every time I try to talk about what I like and don’t like, I end up just curling up in a little fanboy ball and…
out of 10NBC, come on. I want to like you, I really do. You air smart comedies and shows that I really want to see succeed, like Community and The Cape (and yes, I’m serious about The Cape). But then you do things like Taxi Brooklyn. Taxi Brooklyn, for those not…

out of 10 I’ve got a confession. I will watch anything with Tom Cruise in it. Anything, no matter how bad. I watched Rock of Ages just because Tom Cruise was in it. I watched Cocktail, a movie in which Tom Cruise flips bottles and sleeps with rich women in New…
Manhattan (WGA America) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veG28euSbMA The show is set against the backdrop of the infamous Manhattan Project, however it looks that the show is going to focus more on the scientists and their families who must all live together while it is being completed. I think the result is going to be a very interesting Mad…
SPOILER ALERT! THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM LAST NIGHT'S EPISODE OF PENNY DREADFUL. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. out of 10 I've given a lot of praise to this show thus far (you can check out our other reviews here), but last night's episode "Possession" has brought the show to an entirely new level. I've…
out of 10 My biggest criticism of last week's episode of Penny Dreadful was the lack of explanation despite it being the mid point of the season. Somehow the people over on Showtime read it, wrote, filmed, and aired an episode in retaliation. I just needed a few answers. Instead they gave an…
