Heroes – Season 2, Episode 6 – “The Line”

NBC Thursday Night Line-up 10/25: My Name Is Earl, 30 Rock, The Office, Scrubs

What a terrific night!  Strong outings from all 4 shows, the return of Scrubs- who could ask for anything more?  Rather than do 4 in-depth breakdowns of each show, I thought it might be more concise (read: easier) to just … Continue reading

Weeds is officially in high gear. The stories are gelling, all our favorite characters are getting screen-time again, and, as Those Scenes indicated, we’re just hitting the eye before the storm. Aside from the 20th consecutive horrible rendition of “Little … Continue reading
