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, [...]
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:

Modern Family is quickly becoming a favorite show of mine. Since the pilot, I had high expectations for this comedy, and they have all been met. The show centers around an atypical family, and their interconectedness and everyday lives. It is incredibly hilarious, heart-felt, and full of great moments.

It has brought a unique-ness to the mockumentary style, while keeping an incredible sense of humor. It [...]

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 [...]
Continuing my look at the fall season’s new shows, here are my thoughts on Modern Family.
