Dispatches From the Couch: LAW & ORDER SVU Post-mortem

I’ll be the first to admit it: I’m not a fan of change.

I’ve yet to encounter a situation where an update to a computer program or social media outlet is better than what came before. (I don’t have a clue how I’ve done it, but somehow, I’ve thus far managed to avoid Facebook’s annoying Timeline.) I’m still holding a grudge against the New York City MTA for taking away tokens in favor of Metro Cards. And no matter how much KFC wants to distance itself from the F-word, they will always be Kentucky Fried Chicken to me.

So it’s with a conflicted heart that I’m about to fully endorse a massive change to one of the longest-standing television franchises in history, LAW & ORDER. Read the rest of this entry »

COMMUNITY! REVENGE! MODERN FAMILY! AMERICAN IDOL! The TV Addict Week in Rewind

Best Homage: MODERN FAMILY’s season finale mocked telenovelas while at the same time putting the Prichett clan through a few “Dios mio!” worthy twists.

The You-Can’t-Write-This-Crap Award Goes To… : COMMUNITY, where, with the reveal that cast members were given a talking-points memo telling them how to address Dan Harmon’s dismissal, the off-screen antics officially trumped even the most ridiculous events to unfold at Greendale.

Unholiest Development: A 10-episode version of THE EXORCIST is being shopped around. We’re trembling with excitement.

Girl’s Just Wanna Have Fun… And A Cute Boyfriend: Yet again, young females propelled a singer of middling talent to the top slot on AMERICAN IDOL.

Most Apocalyptic News: Snooki’s having a boy. Around the world, Satanists prepared for the return of their king.

Most Relatable Situation: After being struck by a car, an EMT literally had to pry an iPhone from the hand of Michael McKean (Lenny, LAVERNE & SHIRLEY). Yup, you’d have to fight us for ours, too!

Biggest Dis: While the REVENGE finally featured ads for such soapy shows as TRUE BLOOD, DALLAS and the upcoming 666 PARK AVENUE, ABC’s lone daytime sudser, GENERAL HOSPITAL, didn’t get a single spot during the network’s biggest primetime continuing drama.

Best Reality Romance: Forget THE BACHELORETTE. The real swooning came when AMERICAN IDOL’s season 5 contestant Ace young asked season 3’s runner-up Diana DeGarmo to marry him during the Wednesday’s season finale. Read the rest of this entry »

Scott Cohen Teases What’s In Store for Nico During the 2nd Season of NECESSARY ROUGHNESS

The first season of NECESSARY ROUGHNESS took us into the world of Dr. Dani Santino as she became a therapist to a large variety of sports figures and other big business high-rollers. While Dr. Dani’s world seemed initially be about her varied love interests and elite clientele, including T.K., a football star in need of a therapeutic babysitter, the surprise member rounding out their intertwined lives was Nico, the Atlanta Hawk team’s “fixer.” Scott Cohen’s quiet, mysterious Nico became a fixture as well as a fixer in Dr. Dani’s world, and their blossoming friendship was unexpected and rewarding. During a recent set visit, star Scott Cohen shared what kinds of personal and professional entanglements Nico faces in the second season, as well as his insight into a character that everyone is dying to know more about.
