Dispatches From The Couch: THE GOOD WIFE, 666 PARK AVENUE, DEXTER & More!
What a difference a season makes. Last year, I was wildly intrigued by THE GOOD WIFE’s Kalinda and her mysterious background. Now that her abusive hubby is on the scene, I want them both to go away… or for her to at least drive a stiletto heel through his heart and get back to work. On the plus side, WIFE continues to turn the new frontier of electronic media into a breeding ground for fantastic lawsuits. This week’s story about the manipulation of search engine results was fascinating.
Every year, I say I’m not going to watch SURVIVOR, and every year, I do. Why? Because I’m drawn in by the fascinating dynamics that unfold when you put a group of diverse, interesting people into a stressful situation. Sadly, nobody told this cycle’s group of contestants that they were supposed to be interesting. If one of them doesn’t develop a personality soon, I’ll stop carrying a torch for this longtime favorite.
Spoiler alert: If you haven’t watched the latest episdes of DEXTER or HOMELAND, skip this paragraph! Moving along in 3… 2… 1… When Deb found out the truth about DEXTER in the season finale, my jaw hit the floor and I eagerly anticipated the fallout. Unfortunately, what we’ve gotten so far this season has been pedantic at best. Deb’s reaction to finding out her brother is a serial killer was to basically ground him. The most interesting thing so far has been the rival between Dexter and his babysitter’s boyfriend… who has now been killed off. Similarly, the show’s timeslot companion, HOMELAND, went from a game-changing episode in which Saul found out the truth about Brody to this week’s overlong outting which went nowhere. Did anybody really think things would end well for Brody’s tailor pal? Yes, there were some great performances, but when a show does as few new episodes a year as this one, I don’t expect to waste an entire hour waiting for Saul to show Carrie the proof that she was right all along.

Showrunner Spotlight: Emily Kapnek Previews SUBURGATORY Season Two
While MODERN FAMILY was busy stealing the spotlight, a little show called SUBURGATORY was quietly winning hearts with its tale of a father in need or parental guidance and a daughter who’s not quite as worldly as she thinks herself to be who go from city slickers to suburban dwellers. To find out what changes will hit the neighborhood in Season 2, we went to creator and executive producer Emily Kapnek! [Read more…]

Michael Rady and Justin Hartley Preview EMILY OWENS, M.D.
On the first day of her residency right out of med school, Emily Owens (Mamie Gummer) could have sworn she had landed right back in high school. There was the hot guy everyone dreamed of, the mean girl who made everyone’s lives miserable, and the spooky, overbearing authority figures who made you feel like you were never good enough. But that as just an illusion – for as Emily Owens soon finds out, real life is not at all like high school. In the real world, there are life and death stakes, which is why they make you sweat blood and tears all the way through med school. Yet, miraculously, Emily finds a way to humorously navigate the real world terrors and responsibilities of her first day as a doctor. [Read more…]
