Did you just hear that big sigh across the land? That was the sigh of happiness as the country snuggled in for a new season of Project Runway. Well, snuggled is not quite the right word. Project Runway is like your favorite pair of jeans, the ones that make your legs and butt look...

So last night we got treated to the requisite “men tell all” episode, and not much was revealed that we didn’t already know. Here are a few highlights: Justin is a jerk (more on this later in the post.) Kasey tried to deflect the crazy. Actually, I don’t think he is really nuts. I...

Who is Don Draper? That’s the question that opens Mad Men’s Season Four, and the question Don is asked by the Advertising Age journalist who is interviewing him about the SCDP Glo-Coat commercial that is the talk of the town. A man with much to hide, Don is spooked by this delving and clams up,...

The painfully embarrassing public appearance of former betrothed couple Jake and Vienna acting like petulant children on national television, all the while making a mockery of relationships and engagements.

There’s only one way to say this: Glee’s season 1 finale was a letdown in many ways—possibly in every important way. And the sad thing is that, just like those sweet, earnest kids of William McKinley High’s New Directions, it tried—so hard—to please. What are the things we viewers want from a season finale?...

Now, that’s how it is done. The best show on television gave us one of the best hours of television I can remember. It took me a full ten minutes after the conclusion to pick my jaw up off the floor and compose myself. It was that good. I LOVE THIS SHOW! I also...
