Top TV shows of 2009 and the decade: What were yours? PLUS What I'm looking forward to in 2010

Let’s face it…the lull in TV is a little sad right now. There is some great ABC Family programming coming back right after the first of the year (lots of coverage on Secret Life and Make It Or Break it is coming soon!), and Chuck and LOST come back soon as well. But right now, [...]

TV Golden Globe Nominations

The Oscars are more my type of Awards show (hey, we can all  have our guilty, non-TV pleasures, right?) but I enjoy the Golden Globes. The show is fun, and I like that they honor television and movies.
Take a look at the list of (most) Television nominees and my thoughts:
BEST TV SERIES – DRAMA

Big Love
Dexter
House
Mad [...]

Are you watching THE CLOSER?

Networks sometimes have unconventional seasons (See: Glee, V, etc.) Most of the time, I don’t enjoy breaking up a perfectly good run. However, TNT decided to show three new episodes of The Closer around the holidays, and I am very pleased with their decision. The Closer is a favorite of mine and any excuse to [...]

The Vampire Diaries Marathon Starts TONIGHT

With a lull in new episodes of TV, the TV Chick is here to tell you some things you might want to check out while you wait for other shows to return (Glee, come back, please!) The Vampire Diaries was one of my favorite pilots, and has lived up to my expectations. Even if vampires [...]

REVIEW: Glee: "Sectionals"

Wow. Just wow. Last night’s fall finale of Glee, titled “Sectionals,” was one of the most perfect mid-season finales (or season finales for that matter) I have seen in a very long time. I can’t say this enough, but Ryan Murphy and his creative team are truly brilliant. The episode centers around the Glee Club’s [...]

INTERVIEW SERIES: Glee: Cory Monteith (Finn)

What has been your favorite part of filming the show so far?
I like the singing parts, honestly. I like the singing parts a lot, they’re a lot of fun.
Was there one point in which you knew your life had changed forever?
I think it was actually recently when we released the soundtrack – we released Volume [...]

INTERVIEW SERIES: Glee: Mark Salling (Puck)

What has been your favorite part of filming so far?
Probably the wheel chair number we did. It was great. We got to cruise around on little wheelchair ramps on stage, and rehearsals for that one were a lot of fun.
What do you want to see with your character going forward?
Oh you know, a good character [...]

INTERVIEW SERIES: Glee: Amber Riley (Mercedes)

Last week I had the chance to attend a “Carol-Oke” event for Toys for Tots. I jumped on this chance because some of the Glee cast were going to be there helping people sing carols. (Sadly, they didn’t sing themselves). If you read my site at all, you know how much I love Glee. This [...]

Q&A with Ray Romano (Joe) of Men of a Certain Age

Men of a Certain Age centers around a group of friends who have known each other for 30 years, and their lives, relationships and ups and downs. I was pleasantly surprised by the first few episodes. It’s darker than I would have expected, but the plot intrigues me enough to tune in for more. It [...]
