REVIEW: How I Met Your Mother: "Double Date"

The season premiere of How I Met Your Mother started off on such a strong note, I was hoping the 2nd episode could keep up the momentum. Like always, this show did not disappoint.

The episode centered around dating…Ted goes on a blind date that he had been on in 2002. In other words, the [...]

EXCLUSIVE: A (not-so-brief) Interview With A (not-so-hideous) Man: John Krasinski

They don’t feel like blown up caricatures, they feel [...]

INTERVIEW: Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell) of Modern Family

Modern Family is an innovative, hilarious look at different facets of one extended family. I cannot say enough good things about this show. It uses the mockumentary style that we see so often these days, but it does so in a truly unique way. The New York Times called the show groundbreaking, and I would [...]

What I will be watching this fall

You may have caught my numerous fall previews, and there are more to come…but I thought instead of doing a fall premiere calendar (some shows have already premiered), I would tell you what I am watching, and perhaps you can tell me what you will be watching as well.

ADVANCE REVIEW: Season Premiere of How I Met Your Mother

I was thrilled when the premiere of How I Met Your Mother’s 5th season came in the mail. I think Barney Stinson (NPH, you are amazing!) is one of the best characters on television, but the entire cast is just incredible. One thing that makes this show unique is that I can’t think of a [...]

I thought that most winners were very well deserving, but some were very predictable. Here are some people who I thought were snubbed:

Bored to Death is a new comedy starring Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis, and Ted Danson.
