Surprises Abound as Castle Returns!
There are some things you just can’t face without a pint of Ben & Jerry’s in front of you – like the tortuous teaser for Rise, the fourth season premiere of Castle [ABC, Mondays, 10:01/9:01C].
Presenting – The 2011-12 Fall Broadcast Schedule!
After months [or even years] of developing shows, shooting pilots and holding dozens [if not hundreds] of test screenings for focus groups, it all comes down to show time. Literally dozens of new shows await the approval of an audience – while many more dozens hope to keep the audience they’ve already built. So, when […]
Combat Hospital: Welcome to Kandahar!
ABC’s new war zone medical drama, Combat Hospital [Tuesdays, 10/9C] wants to be a dramatic version of M*A*S*H, but leans in equal proportion towards Grey’s Anatomy. It’s an uneasy mix that captures the chaos of war and the difficulties of medical work in such a context, but tries a little too hard to meld that […]

Richard Castle Launches RichardCastle.net!
Blurring the line between fiction and reality is something the best books, movies and television shows do on a regular basis. Mystery writer Richard Castle moves from the TV screen into cyberspace with the launch of richardcastle.com. The website follows Castle’s two well-received Nikki Heat novels [Naked Heat and Heat Wave]. Castle [Nathan Fillion], of […]
Body Of Proof Proves Beyond A Doubt That Dana Delaney Is A Genuine TV Star!
The premiere of ABC’s new series, Body of Proof [Tuesdays, 10/9C], presents as a procedural in which a crusty former neurosurgeon becomes a crusader medical examiner – a female Quincy, so to speak, but with fewer social graces and more intrusiveness. The situations which come up in the pilot are ludicrous but Delaney’s presence and […]
ABC’s Summer 2011 Schedule Includes Two Scripted and Eight Unscripted Shows!
ABC announced their summer schedule today and to no one’s surprise, it had two more scripted series than NBC – which is to say, two scripted series – along with eight mostly mind-numbing reality shows. Returning shows include: Rookie Blue, Wipeout, Bachelor Pad and The Bachelorette. New shows include: The Hot Zone, 101 Ways to […]
ABC Reveals Season Finale Dates!
ABC has announced the dates for its season finales. Meanwhile, I’m still trying to figure out the appeal of Shark Tank and Wipeout. The complete list follows the jump.
If I Picked The Oscars®, 2011 Edition – Okay, Academy, Let’s See What You’ve Got!

Hundreds of movies have been screened and the alleged best of the best have been selected for quality of production, design, performance, direction and all that good stuff. Box office is up – because of 3D surcharges and increased IMAX presence, while the […]
