By Jonathan Toomey With the holidays fast approaching, it's good to know that Adult Swim is thinking of you. According to their online schedule, Aqua Teen Hunger Force will return on December 13th at 11:45 p.m. ET with an episode elusively referred to as "ATHF Xmas."

By Brad Trechak The new idea is also "semi-scripted", which means it'll likely be heavily improvised much like most of the series and movies that Charles has been involved with. Warner Bros. TV is the company producing and they also do The Big Bang Theory, so they're in effect competing with themselves. Thi...

By Jason Hughes S21E05) I've been waiting all season for this episode. As a long-lapsed fan of The Simpsons, it was beginning to look like someone had sucked the heart right out of Springfield's first family. Maybe they have, for the most part, but everything that made The Simpsons such a great show 20 years...

By Jane Boursaw On first glance, it appears to be a standalone episode not connected with the alternate universe, but my feeling is that every episode is somehow connected to the big picture. The fact that this series of murders was unsolved is a good clue, and the guy in the hospital bed with half of a head is...

By Jane Boursaw On this week's episode of Stargate Universe, "Water," we saw a return of those swirling sands of ... something ... that appeared in the earlier episode on the desert planet. Only on the desert planet, they were helpful. This time, they were a bit more nefarious, attacking a crew member and, apparen...

By Allison Waldman Well, it seemed like an unusual pairing when it was announced. Kind of like oil and water. Well, the oil slick has hit the proverbial fan. Microsoft has withdrawn its sole sponsorship of Fox's Seth MacFarlane comedy special. That's the special that Fox was promoting like crazy yesterday all d...

By Allison Waldman After all, CBS Paramount has done very, very well with that original Star Trek episode. It's regarded as -- and is -- the all-time best show in the entire original ST canon. Ironically, Ellison never liked what Roddenberry and company had done with his script.Continue reading Harlan Elliso...

By Brad Trechak Despite my own history in musical theater, I haven't been watching Glee. Whedon's involvement in an episode would certainly pique my interest enough to catch it. Perhaps he could get together with his brother Jed and write the music for the episode, as well, turning it into a 42-minute oper...

By Jonathan Toomey Three episodes into CSI's tenth season and it turns out that Jorja Fox's five episode return to the show has been extended "indefinitely." According to TVGuide.com, executive producer Carol Mendelsohn has confirmed that Fox's Sara Grissom will be around for many more episodes this seas...

By Bob Sassone Kelsey Grammer's Hank isn't getting any love from viewers and it's not getting any love from critics. Ratings aren't that good and the critics don't like it. So Grammer is doing a bunch of interviews for tonight's episode, including this one over at The TV Addict. He promises that tonight's e...

By Brad Trechak The show is called Family Guy Presents: Seth and Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show. It'll be broadcast on November 8th and be commercial-free thanks to Microsoft (who will be promoting Windows 7). The special will be a mix of animated and live performances. I've seen Seth MacFarlane and Alex Bo...

By Isabelle Carreau As expected, Rufus and Lily hit a few bumps in the road before making the episode title come true. The episode also featured the return of Georgina, Scott, and Bree, which equals to blackmail, lies and drama. Three words that work very well in the world of Gossip Girl.Continue reading Gossip G...

By Nick Zaino For those who still have last week's episode on DVR and are likely to write us letters because we spoiled it for you - SPOILER ALERT. Then again, why are you reading something about tonight's episode if you haven't watched last week's episode yet?

By Annie Wu S35E03) Drew Barrymore is energy. Pure, almost-scary energy. It's disorienting to watch when one is bleary-eyed and staring at a tiny TV in the wee hours of the morning, but this trademark makes for consistent television-viewing. While the quality of Saturday Night Live's writing may wav...

By Joel Keller That's the best thing I can say about this episode, to be honest. This one was less funny than last week's episode, which was less funny than the pilot. At least last week's episode had some heartfelt emotion behind it, so the lack of laughs could be excused. But this episode didn't even have tha...

By Bob Sassone There's also a Heeere's Johnny: The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson "Holiday Set." It looks like the same set that I've owned for a couple of years (several DVDs split up into different categories: Timeless Moments, Standup Comedians, Carson Country, and the original Ultimate Collecti...

By Annie Wu S35E02) After that Jenny Slate f-bomb nonsense and Megan Fox's not terribly original hot girl material from the season premiere, it was exciting to see a really solid episode (and a star-studded one, at that). Ryan Reynolds did a fantastic job as host (snaps for his wavering voice during t...

By Jane Boursaw Ok, after hitting it out of the park since the debut (for me anyway), this episode sort of flatlined for me. At least, it didn't grab me as much as, say, last week's episode with the Beyonce song and the football team dancing on the field. I couldn't wait to get on here and right about that episode...

By Brad Trechak The game plays like a missing episode from the television show. Unlike the last game South Park Imaginationland, this one is not based on a pre-existing episode (unless it's one of the upcoming ones). The plot is that the boys appear on a Japanese game show in an effort to win money. Each boy the...

By Bob Sassone First Three Rivers got rid of Julia Ormand, then the pilot wasn't good enough so CBS decided to film a new version, and now that version doesn't seem to be good enough, so when the show debuts on October 4 we're going to see a later episode as the first episode. The pilot will now air as the second...

By Brad Trechak Practically every other celebrity on Earth has been a guest voice on The Simpsons. Hell, then even managed to land the reclusive author Alan Moore for a comic book-themed episode. Now, Borat and Bruno star Sacha Baron Cohen will be lending his voice to an episode of the animated series.

By Bob Sassone S03E18) As longtime readers of these reviews know, I like to list a lot of lines from each episode of 30 Rock. Each episode of the show has a ton of great one-liners and jokes, but there are so many that sometimes I feel like I should forget writing a traditional review and just print a damn trans...

By Jonathan Toomey Filed under: Drama, FOX, HBO, OpEd, The O.C. I think this may have been the first episode of The OC that took place entirely at night. As a result, the whole episode was lit in shades of dark and light blues. It reminded me a lot of a season one episode of CSI: NY.

By Bob Sassone There's a new 'Til Death on FOX at 8, then new eps of The War at Home and The OC; The CW has new eps of Smallville and Supernatural. USA has a special Thursday Night RAW at 8. At 9, Nickelodeon's Growing Pains marathon continues. ...

By Jonathan Toomey S04E14) It's the end of the world as we know it. Well... not really, but it might be the end of Newport Beach. I have to say, I kind of like the idea that the finale Josh Schwartz "always planned to do" for The OC involves an earthquake. It's the ultimate closure for a show that takes place in California...

By Jonathan Toomey Filed under: Drama, FOX, OpEd, The O.C. Alright, I'm done ranting about that. Let's move on to the rest of the episode. Can we talk about how much I love that Ryan's father is Hercules? Continue reading The OC: The My Two DadsRead | Permalink | Email this | Comments

By Jonathan Toomey Filed under: Drama, FOX, OpEd, The O.C. To illustrate what I'm saying, just look at this episode. It ripped a page right from the Alias playbook and gave us an opening scene only to jump back seven hours earlier. Before this season, I would have never expected to see something like that on The OC.

By Jonathan Toomey Everything that went on was just a little too obvious. Taylor falling for Ryan? We all knew it was coming. Of course, I support it though. She's better looking than Marissa, smarter, has less emotional baggage, and best of all? She's not a raging alcoholic. So yeah, I'm all for that and I hope it w...

By Jonathan Toomey The only story I didn't like in this episode was Sandy and Kirsten. Sandy was busy trying to find new man friends and Kirsten, well she did nothing. I hope there's more to these two this season because right now they're too happy and it's not interesting. Kirsten needs to get back on the sauce or s...

By Jonathan Toomey I feel like there are a ton of other things that I could write about, but here's what really stood out for me: Near the end when Julie asked Ryan to just tell her about Marissa? Another great scene and I think it really signifies a turning point for these two. I loved the homeless guy at dinner who...

By Jonathan Toomey Down in Mexico, Seth found out where Volchok was before Ryan. He then lied about where, and tipped off Volchok before Ryan could get to him. If anything, this should raise Seth's status as a friend. However, given the circumstances, Ryan was royally PO'ed that he didn't get to have at it with Vo...

By Jonathan Toomey The best scene of the episode was near the end though. Summer flew home to help Seth (I hate that it's awkward between them) deal with Ryan and what they came up with was really... well, sweet. Seth drew an entire comic book about Ryan and how he helped Seth, Sandy, and Kirsten better their lives. Rya...

By Bob Sassone FOX has a new 'Til Death at 8, followed by new episodes of Happy Hour and The OC; There's a new Smallville on The CW at 8, then a new Supernatural. Also at 8: FX has Jim Carrey in Me, Myself & Irene (excellent soundtrack). ...

By Jonathan Toomey The season picks up five months after Marissa's death and all the characters are in different phases from when we last left them. To make up for the loss of Barton's character, Taylor Townsend (Autumn Reeser) and Kaitlin Cooper (Willa Holland) have both been added as full cast members.

By Lacy Hall Not quite. At the end of the episode, Volchok kidnaps Marissa (is Marissa a total idiot? Who gets in a strange van with sketchy dudes?) and takes her to the pier. Ryan shows up with Johnny and threatens Volchok with a busted bottle of booze (going for that whole, crazy deranged white boy thing a...

By Kat Parr After a short blip with Nana and her gold-digging boyfriend (read: transparent plot to lure Seth and Ryan away from Newport and into the arms of shuffleboard babes) we are back in familiar territory: Kirsten and Sandy, Seth and Summer, Cal and Julie, Ryan and Summer—all on the rocks, just...

By Karina Longworth Meanwhile, Marissa - always one to do the opposite of the right thing - has chosen to repress, repress, repress the fact that Ryan's brother tried to rape her. OF COURSE she has. Because Ryan and Marissa can never be happy together. This is the most star-crossed love story in television histor...

By Karina Longworth Filed under: Drama, FOX, The O.C.Words cannot sufficiently express how excited I am about tonight's episode of The O.C. Not only does Ryan go back to Chino in an effort to find out what really happened between Trey and Marissa, and not does Kirsten survive her DUI accident only to keep on drinki...

By Kat Parr We won't know if it's a fatal shot until next season, of course, and with Kirsten in rehab and Jimmy back The O.C. writers have given themselves a tabula rasa and a nice dramatic season premiere, that is, the fate of Marissa, post-shooting. Will Sandy step up as her lawyer, or will those crazy ki...

By Karina Longworth Filed under: Drama, FOX, The O.C.I love it when semi-spoilers come wrapped up in shiny casting-news wrapping paper. It's just been announced that Jeri Ryan - she of Star Trek: Voyager, Boston Public, and a scandal involving a sex club and her politician ex-husband - will join the cast of The O....

Gameloft is putting out a Sims-style game based on the FOX series, which will "allow players either to assume the role of one o...

By Lacy Hall The reading of Caleb's will was in this episode too. Turns out the richest man in Newport was broke and Julie and Kirsten get nothing. I hate that Caleb was broke. I didn't like it when Rocky lost all his money in Rocky 5 and I don't like Caleb being broke post-mortem. I like my rich people to be rich. C...

By Lacy Hall Meanwhile, over in Sandy and Kirsten land, things continue to get weirder and weirder with Charlotte, played by Jeri Ryan. So much so, that it incited my roommate to start calling her Ms. Creepy McCreeperson. Creepy convinces Kirsten that she isn't ready to go back home yet, and talks her int...

By Lacy Hall I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger, but she ain't messing with no broke...(I can't sing the rest cause I'm white). But, it turns out that Charlotte (Jeri Ryan) is not a lesbian after Kirsten's sweet blonde locks, but actually a gold digger. Her entire stint in that rehab center was an evil plo...

By Anna Johns Filed under: Talent, FOX, The O.C.There is something we fans of The O.C. don't talk about: the long, lost sister of Marissa Cooper. Where did Kaitlin go? Remember the little girl who was always in the background during season one? She didn't have very many lines. In season two, she was shipped off...
