We’re finally here, boys and girls: the moment at least seven of you have been waiting for. It’s my Top 5 shows of 2010!

November 12, 2010 – 12:55 am

Heading to bed, having filed my reviews for tonight’s excellent, mind-bendy “Fringe” and tonight’s better-than-average “Nikita.” (All after seeing Tina Fey back that THANG up on “30 Rock”. It was a good night of TV, people.)
Friday morning update: “Fringe” is here, and “Nikita” is here. Enjoy!

“Fringe” Recap: Season 1 Finale

May 12, 2009 – 10:54 pm

The good, the bad, the Spock. It was all there, with an episode that was good but not great, especially by the show’s increasingly excellent standards.
In short: “Fringe” has gone from “competent” to “one of the five best shows on TV” over the course of its first season, but tonight’s episode didn’t quite live up […]

“Fringe” Recap: Episode 1.16

April 21, 2009 – 10:50 pm

That was some good and tasty mythology, “Fringe“. Well played.
I’d make the “Ya down with ZFT/Yea you know me!” jokes, but the missus says I go to the Naughty by Nature well too often. So you’ll have to just read my full recap to get the scoop on tonight’s must see episode.

“Fringe” Recap: Episode 1.15

April 7, 2009 – 10:10 pm

Guess who’s back…back again…Dunham’s back…tell a friend.
Yup, “Fringe” finally returned tonight with a ho-hum episode that featured a psychic albino boy. Think “a mute version of the dude from the movie Powder” and you’re close.
Check out my full recap.

“Fringe” Recap: Episode 1.14

February 10, 2009 – 11:39 pm

OK, let’s get this out of the way up top: that was easily the best episode of Fringe so far, living up to the hype of last summer, laying down the central conflict of the show, and exploding our minds with mythological overload. I need a cigarette. Oh wait, I don’t smoke.

“Fringe” Recap: Episode 1.13

February 3, 2009 – 11:04 pm

C’mon, admit it: you cackled in hysterics at seeing the fried dog man. It’s OK to admit: that was straight up hysterical. My notes in trying to ascertain what Marshall Bowman would eventually morph into read as follows: “Hulk… Dr. Jekyll… werewolf… HEDGEHOG?” I went from thinking we’d see MARSHALL SMASH to having visions of […]
