Review-a-palooza: ‘Chuck’ and ‘The Event’

As always, I reviewed “Chuck” and “The Event” for AOL’s TV Squad last night. REALLY strong “Chuck,” and a REALLY “meh” “The Event.”
Make sure to read my full takes here!

“Chuck” and “The Event” Recaps

Sorry to be AWOL here lately in updating my reviews in other places. Life has a funny way of getting in the way, especially when juggling two jobs and a host of other personal matters.
Nevertheless, here are my reviews of last night’s “Chuck” and “The Event.” Stay tuned tonight for my review of the “Rock Horror”-themed “Glee!”
(And, in […]

A quick note: you can read all my Monday recaps for “Chuck,” “The Event,” and “Hawaii Five-0″ by checking out my personal page over at AOL’s TV Squad. That’s a handy one to bookmark. And you can check out my recap of tonight’s “Glee” over at HitFix. But I’m not here to talk about those […]

The Week Thus Far

Sorry I’ve been slack in updates here. Real world stuff interfered (needless to say, it rhymes with “morporate braining”) so doing anything more than paid assignments has been impossible. Hopefully, you managed to find them anyways, but if not, here are the four recaps I did over the past 48 hours.
Chuck, Episode 4.2
The Event, Episode […]

State of the Show: Heroes, Smallville, and Chuck, Oh My!

 Well, fellow television geeks, we’re heading into that glorious time of the television schedule: Fall sweeps! Sure, given the fragmented nature of television viewing, this period means a little less that it used to, but nonetheless shows strive to pull out all the stops in order to maximize their most important asset: creativity. And by […]

State of the Show: “Chuck” Volume 1

Gonna try and start a new feature on the BTD: “State of the Show.” It’s an attempt to try and look and certain shows on a periodic basis rather than try and pump out recaps after every episode. If I had infinite time and energy, well, I’d recap everything, but with a full-time job and […]
