The Mentalist

The Mentalist on CBS

This is one of the new shows I was looking forward to checking out. I thought it might be fun to watch, but my concern was how they’re going to keep the cleverness rolling week after week. It aired on Tuesday night at 9. My thoughts on the show (and minor spoilers) are after the jump.

Z Rock

Has anyone been watching Z Rock on IFC? It’s about three guys in a metal band, who pay the bills by doing children’s parties. And they’re actually a real band. I love Paulie Z and his crazy hair and gigantic mouth. Trailer for the show after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

13 Nights of Halloween

Wednesday, October 17, 2007 at 10:07am by freakgirl

ABC Family is doing a 13 Nights of Halloween series, starting on Friday, 10/19. I’ve never seen Corpse Bride, can you believe it? There’s also a werewolf movie starring Taylor Townsend from The OC that looks so bad, it might be good.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns to FX tonight! This show is deliciously twisted and wrong. Plus - Danny DeVito.

Chuck

Monday, September 10, 2007 at 11:46am by freakgirl

We watched the pilot episode of Chuck over the weekend. I have read it described as “the 40-Year-Old Virgin meets Alias,” which is pretty close. Chuck really isn’t a big geek, though. He seems mostly just unwilling to get into a relationship. He’s good-looking and women were practically throwing themselves at him in the episode we watched. Eh, whatever. His sidekick Morgan cracked me up completely; he reminds me of someone I know. Bottom line? I will definitely continue tuning in when the series launches.

Meerkat Manor starts another season on Friday, August 10th. Last year, the geekboy and I were addicted to this show. It is ADORABLE and strangely compelling. Watch some clips below!
