Channel Surfing: DEXTER, TERRA NOVA & HART OF DIXIE

colin-hanks-dexter

Still undecided as to whether or not DEXTER is in the midst of its weakest season to date? Perhaps these three simple signs will help confirm your suspicions: 1) It took us until Tuesday morning to watch Sunday’s episode, which in previous years was practically unheard of. 2) Debra Morgan, once the show’s most grating [...]

Channel Surfing: HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, HOMELAND, THE GOOD WIFE & More!

Just when FX thought that AMERICAN HORROR STORY had helped them corner the market on truly terrifying television came last night’s HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER guest appearance by Katie Holmes. Yet rather than ad insult to injury by joining what pretty much amounts to the entirety of the internet — which for those keeping [...]

Channel Surfing: DEXTER, THE GOOD WIFE, ONCE UPON A TIME & More!

As someone who has always had a special affinity for DEXTER since the very beginning (Note: Not as creepy as it sounds, we promise!) we’re disappointed to admit that when it comes to summing up our feelings for the show’s much-anticipated current season, the best we can come up with is ‘conflicted.’ On the one [...]

Channel Surfing: GOSSIP GIRL, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, WHITNEY & More!

Until the last minute twist that revealed who is about to be a mommy, last night’s season premiere of GOSSIP GIRL was… well, nothing much to talk about. Serena’s Hollywood job is a snore, thanks in large part to the boring folks cast to play the various cliches and stereotypes surrounding her. Chuck deciding to [...]

Channel Surfing: TWO AND A HALF MEN, CASTLE, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER & More!

I’ll be damned! After months of teasing the world with an advertising campaign that promised that all will be revealed, last night’s Ashton Kutcher-infused TWO AND A HALF MEN did just that. Unfortunately, complete with incredibly juvenile fart jokes and raunch sexual “humour” that would have totally killed in a seventh grade classroom, the revelation [...]

Channel Surfing: SURVIVOR, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, THE SOUP & More!

Ladies and gents, allow us to make a not-so-bold prediction: NBC’s new sitcom FREE AGENTS will be the first new show to bite the dust. “What the hell is FREE AGENTS?” you are no doubt asking. Well, let us tell you: It is a sitcom that debuted Wednesday night with absolutely no fanfare and apparently [...]

Channel Surfing: COMMUNITY, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, and THE OFFICE

slater

Continuing to put a stake into the heart of the dreaded sophomore slump came another killer episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES. And since we’re very quickly running out of superlatives for what gets our vote as television’s most consistently awesome series, we’ll stray away from the usual suspects for a moment (see: Nina Dobrev’s acting [...]

Channel Surfing: OUTSOURCED, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, THE APPRENTICE & More!

It’s not often I admit to being wrong. This is not to say I’m never wrong, but rather that I rarely admit to it. However, where NBC’s freshman series OUTSOURCED is concerned, I feel the need to not only admit that my initial opinion was wrong, but heap a bit of praise upon the show. [...]

Channel Surfing: THE EVENT, GOSSIP GIRL & 90210

Let this be a lesson to all you current and future television showrunners out there. Last night’s instalment of THE EVENT should be looked upon as the perfect example of how not to cleverly construct an episodic cliffhanger. Which is to say, if the “jaw-dropping” final scene that you’ve been spending three episodes building up [...]

Channel Surfing: DEXTER, FAMILY GUY, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES & More!

How does a man who has never been able to emotionally connect with anyone or anything deal with the brutal death of the one person who came closest to bringing out his humanity? And how is his seeming lack of humanity viewed by those around him, including the sister who has long struggled to understand [...]
