One and Done
Some shows just never quite make it happen. They get bounced around too much or they never really find an audience. Since the early 1990’s we have been living with what I call the “Seinfeld Effect”. Seinfeld was an instant hit. After only four episodes America had decided they wanted more. This is awesome. But…

Calling all Cars
Brooklyn -99 is a mad cap comedy. This show is more Sledgehammer than Barney Miller. I really hate to say this, and I hope I am wrong, but I think this is the first show that FOX will cancel. It’s quirky, maybe a little too quirky. It’s simple, maybe a little too simple. It’s funny,…

Fatherhood?
Dads is funny. There I said it. This show has wonderful potential. We live in a down economy so we are seeing more and more multigenerational homes. This show taps into that. You have a single man living with his father. Also due to economic down turn you have a father living with a married…

Unfrozen Caveman Warrior
After watching the pilot episode of Sleepy Hollow I have learned exactly nothing more than I saw in the ads. First off what’s right about it? Visually stunning. This show is very nice to watch. I also enjoy how serious it takes itself. But that is about it. The show goes in too many directions…

Our weekly Don Quixote require their own Sancho Panza, besides the writers need someone to throw the good jokes to once in a while; someone to put through the ringer…

What’s on NBC
NBC has almost always been a staple in my life. From the family sitcoms, family ties & Cosby show,to the workplace dramas, Hill Street Blues & St. Elsewhere. I have watched NBC and not just on Thursdays so what do they have for me this season? Monday’s at 10:00 is The Blacklist starring James Spader doing what…

What’s on FOX
Fox seems to be slowly dropping from my radar these days. Way back in 1990’s it seemed that most everything I watched was on FOX, now not so much. Monday Nights at 9:00 is Sleepy Hollow. I am sort of on the fence with this one. It looks interesting it also seems like Grimm for…
