You’ve got to hand it to Shonda Rhimes: she goes for thematic, tonal, and soapy consistency between her shows. You get the sense that she has a very clear idea of what she wants her shows to look and feel like. Her latest project with Jenna Bans (who created the show with Rhimes serving as [...]

When it comes to the trajectory of Rebecca Mader’s career — who will follow up succumbing to the most notable nosebleed in the history of the television with a three episode guest stint on NO ORDINARY FAMILY starting night — very little.

When Television Advertising Fails to Consider Its Audience
By Tiffany Vogt on January 11th, 2011 at January 11th, 2011
There are times when I watch television commercials and I am shocked by the lack of strategic programming.

Review: SOUTHLAND
By Aleks Chan on January 11th, 2011 at January 11th, 2011
When I first reviewed this LA cop drama from ER vet John Wells, I thought that it would be better suited for cable.
