This holiday season, I wish… For shows to just go there already with their will-they-or-won’t-they couples. Please stop using the Moonlighting curse as an excuse. There’s no reason why a couple together can’t be interesting and sexy and wonderful and full of conflict. See Tami and Eric on Friday Night Lights, Joe and Allison Dubois [...]

Last year, in lieu of doing a Top 10 Shows list, I decided to write up my favorite episodes of 2009. I had such a nice time looking back at the year in TV, I decided to do it again this year. A few shows made the cut again, but there are also many newcomers [...]

When Fox’s Bones returned last week, Booth (David Boreanaz) came back from Afghanistan a man in love. The culprit: Hannah Burley, a  war correspondent that Booth met during his time overseas. Given how hardcore fans of Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Booth are, it’s no surprise that Hannah’s introduction has been met with some uproar. And [...]

WHITE COLLAR Where: USA Network When: Friday, Sept.2 at 6 a.m. What: Call in sick and watch 17(!) episodes from the show’s first two seasons. It’s the perfect prep course for Tuesday’s mid-season finale. But if you can’t do the whole thing, may I suggest one must-see: “Copycat Caffrey” at 5 p.m. FUTURAMA Where: Comedy [...]

While I had nothing against Big Love‘s old opening credits sequence set to The Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows,” season four’s new, floaty Interpol-set credits were a welcome change and a step up. I wish more shows would take a cue from the HBO series and change things up without reducing things to a title [...]

As the year’s end approaches, many critics and bloggers have been sharing their Best of 2009 and Best of the Decade lists. Making a list of my favorite shows of the year and/or decade seemed too daunting, so here’s my more manageable contribution. These are not necessarily the best episodes of 2009, although there is [...]

Viewers of Bones will get a double dose of Deschanels on this Thursday’s episode when Zooey Deschanel guest stars on the show. The Christmas episode, “The Goop on the Girl,” marks the first time that the sisters Deschanel have acted together professionally (check out pictures from the episode here). Zooey plays Margaret, a distant cousin [...]

Bones always does such a wonderful job with its Christmas episodes. “The Man in the Fallout Shelter” and “The Santa in the Slush” are some of my favorite episodes of the series. This year’s holiday episode, “The Goop on the Girl,” promises to be even more special. It features the return of Ryan O’Neal as [...]

Emily Deschanel’s sister Zooey is officially coming over to Bones. Zooey will play Margaret Whitesell, a distant relative of Emily’s character Temperance Brennan, in the Dec. 10 holiday episode “The Goop on the Girl.” Ryan O’Neal, who plays Brennan’s father, also returns in the episode. He invites Margaret to spend Christmas with him and his [...]

The fall TV season is only a couple of months old, but some returning series are already showing major signs of improvement. Shows that were once very close to losing DVR season passes or barely made it to a second season are now earning their keep. Here are four shows that are worth a second [...]
