Amrie’s Take on TV: DRIVE

So I just got finished watching the third hour of Drive. I have to say, I’m still really intrigued. I want to see what’s going to happen with these characters, and what it all means. One of our loyal readers commented today (hi Frank!) that he was more interested in the race than the goings-on [...]

Amrie’s Take on TV

When I was little, I believed there was some way for the Tanners to adopt me, and that I could go live with them in San Francisco, and my life would be perfect. Every obstacle tackled in 30 minutes. My dad, and my loving uncle, and my dad’s adult-friend would take care of me, and [...]

Amrie’s Take on TV: THE TUDORS

I’m not proud to say that the only thing I remember from European History in high school and college about Henry VIII is the fact that he married Anne Boleyn and that he fooled around with her sister Mary. Maybe you’re like me. Maybe you only know that he had 6 wives, or you know [...]

My Take on TV: Flashing Our Favourite Shows Forward

So first Marc Schwahn is vocal about how he wants One Tree Hill to shoot five years into the future. Skip college all together, to avoid the Saved By The Bell: The College Years syndrome. That way, the characters can all go their separate ways and meet back up when that’s all done. Then, we [...]

Amrie’s Take on TV: Random Musings

At any time of day, talk to me, and I’ve got a million thoughts on what’s happening in the world, and what’s happening on TV week after week. I talk about four things at once because I’m always thinking about a hundred different topics that interest me. I’m always tempted to give a little breakdown [...]

Amrie’s Take on TV: An Open Letter… (Part II)

A few open letters to the writers of some of my favorite shows….because seriously, it has to be done, for their sake, and the sake of my sanity! Dear David Rosenthal and anyone involved in Season 7 of Gilmore Girls, I hated Christopher. From like Season 2 until now. I understand you were written into [...]

Amrie’s Take on TV: An Open Letter…

A few open letters to the writers of some of my favorite shows….because seriously, it has to be done, for their sake, and the sake of my sanity! Dear Lost creators/writers/executive producers, et.al: I used to be under the impression that, more than any other show, I would follow your thoughts, creative ideas, general “what [...]

Amrie’s Take on TV: A Guide to JERICHO

Remember my New Year’s Resolution to get caught up on Jericho before the winter premiere? Thanks to the awesome people at CBS, I’ve gone one step further. Not only did I watch the first 11 hours saved on my TiVo. I had the pleasure of watching Wednesday’s winter premiere and it’s official – I’m addicted [...]

Amrie’s Take on TV: Taylor Kitsch Talks FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Fellow TV Addicts, you know me very well by now, am I right? You could probably rattle off my favorite shows and everyone would list Friday Night Lights as my number 1 or 2, right? You’d mention that that I hate 7th Heaven, and that Kiefer Sutherland is my hero. You’d probably also be able [...]

Amrie’s Take on TV: Save These Shows!

“Don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone….” Are you one of the people who discovered “Freaks and Geeks” on DVD and wondered “Where was I when that show was on?” or the slightly more to the point “Why didn’t I help ratings by watching this awesome show when it was actually on the air?” [...]
