The Fall 2008 Season

by Jaclyn Abergas on July 30th, 2008
Comedy, Drama

A lot of shows left us hanging during their season finales last May, and I’m looking forward to having some of my personal questions answered. Gossip Girl OMG! What will happen to Blair and Chuck? Will they still get together? Personally, as much as I want them to be a couple, because they look so good together, I don’t think I’d want that. Not yet. If they got together, what will happen to them? Will they change? Will they suddenly become one of those lovesick couples who constantly spend time making eyes at each other? I don’t know about you, but...

Hooray for TNT

Drama, Summer TV

Last Monday marked the season premiers of The Closer and Saving Grace on TNT. Many people shrug off stations like TBS and TNT because more often than not, they show reruns of other stations' popular shows. In the last few years, however, stations like these (and A&E, Bravo, etc.) have become very popular in terms of original programming. They help bridge the summer sinkhole of low budget reality television (How many "do you want to be famous" shows do we really need anyway?) and give us fantastic characters and storylines to focus on.

I started watching The Closer via...

Jeff Goldblum is coming back to television (if the Screen Actors Guild doesn't go on strike)!

Chris Noth, most widely known for his turn as Mr. Big on Sex and the City, is leaving Law & Order: Criminal Intent after a three season run, and Goldblum is stepping in to fill the void. The show has been picked up for an eighth season of sixteen episodes (again, if the Screen Actors Guild doesn't go on strike).

According to an article released by MSN's TV News division a couple of weeks ago, the Law & Order creator, Dick Wolf,...

90210: The New Generation

Drama

Are you a fan of the original series, Beverly Hills 90210? I was and still am. You probably know that the CW is bring the cult show back as 90210: The New Generation. And several 90210 alumnae already have signed up either as guest or recurring stars, including Kelly Taylor (played by Jennie Garth, as a guidance counselor at Beverly Hills High) and Brenda Walsh (played by Shannen Doherty, whose character is not yet known). But probably the most familiar and welcome return is the comeback of Peach Pit owner, Nat Bussichio (played by Joe E. Tata), whom the kids often...

What’s Funny?

Comedy, Sitcom

This weekend, NBC show Saturday Night Live reran its debut episode as a tribute to George Carlin, who passed away earlier this week. The airing of this episode has sparked many debates among television fans and one of the most common questions to be asked is: remember when we knew what funny was?

It seems that these days, television's humor is more of a wink and an arched eyebrow than it is an all out guffaw. Long gone are the days of the obvious jokes of the Carol Burnett Show, sitcoms and even Saturday Night Live. Now comedy seems...
