Friday Night Lights Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, One More Time It has come to our attention that Friday Night Lights has been nominated for a DGA award! As usual, cheers and delight. And before I go any further, you really have to look at the company in which the show is nominated. Homeland, Breaking Bad, The Killing, Game of Thrones. By Duana • Jan 11, 2012 11:27 am
House of Lies House of Lies - the pilot Can I just ask, why? Why, PVR people, are you not smart enough to know that a show’s going to go a little overtime? Just give a little more time, please? I persevered, though, guys, don’t worry, I watched the end of the show for you – for you By Duana • Jan 10, 2012 01:25 pm
Vampire Diaries The Return Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 10 recap Oh man, it’s been so long since a Vampire Diaries I don’t know whether I remember how to do this!

Girly Throw Downs Showrunner Styles, Part II Click here for Part I. I haven’t watched Glee since last year, and I feel good about that. But I also feel great about the Glee Christmas album that’s in my ears right now; they really do have some unadulterated joy, these kids. Or they did, right? Back By Duana • Dec 09, 2011 12:57 pm
Shonda Rhimes Showrunner Styles I still like Shonda Rhimes. I know that’s an unpopular thing to say these days, but I do. I think she’s hit on a formula that works, she’s made a lot of people really happy with what she does, and even though I don’t watch Grey’ By Duana • Dec 08, 2011 01:05 pm
Sons of Anarchy To be…part 2 Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Episode 14 recap How many of us thought that this episode was gonna be called “…or not to be”?

Ringer Ringer Midseason Finale Ringer Season 1 Episode 10 Okay, Ringer, don’t fail me now. I want a lot of fun in short order. Without focusing solely on fashion, I do wonder how Bridget decides which of Siobhan’s outfits are appropriate for which type of potential espionage. Sweater and statement necklace? Sure!

Parenthood On Parenthood. I was up late last night. Couldn’t fall asleep. There are any number of reasons why this could be, not least of which was listening to a public radio report about insomnia yesterday. The most likely candidate, though, is something my mother said. Of course. ‘They f*ck you By Duana • Dec 01, 2011 11:02 am
Sons of Anarchy Laying in Wait Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Episode 13 So I felt odd about this episode. Both too little and too much happened and for what became the first half of the season finale, I wish we’d had a little more action to balance out all the plotting. Let me dispense By Duana • Nov 30, 2011 01:06 pm
Sons of Anarchy Cranky. Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Episode 12 recap I don’t have kids. I know a lot of you do. I don’t, yet. I will but I don’t. And yet I find the relationships that I pay most attention to on TV are those between parents and children By Duana • Nov 23, 2011 11:30 am
Ringer Buck up and eat bologna Ringer Season 1 Episode 9 Ha ha. I may be in the minority, but I’m pretty entertained when I get punked by a show. Ringer is doing a damn good job. It keeps me guessing all of the time whether or not Bridget is a damn idiot, or if By Duana • Nov 18, 2011 12:15 pm
Sons of Anarchy How do you love Dumb? Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Episode 11 recap So, the dude. Mine in particular. He’s all right, you know? (Also, definitively not reading this.) He’s tall, he makes up stupid songs, but I can say the thing I arguably dig the most is that he’s smart. He By Duana • Nov 17, 2011 03:59 pm
Joel McHale Take a deep breath. People, take a breath in, and out. As per someone on twitter named @sam_ash who was retweeted over 100 times, “NBC totally Britta’d this whole #Community thing”. Or – maybe you don’t know what I’m talking about? Twitter blew up yesterday around home time because the new By Duana • Nov 15, 2011 10:59 am
Vampire Diaries Salvatore’s Eleven The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Episode 9 recap Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. This is the kind of fun I want to see on this show! Everyone’s in one place, people are operating at cross-purposes, there are layers and layers. My only real complaint is that Rebekah was By Duana • Nov 14, 2011 01:12 pm
Ringer The genteel ultrasound Ringer Season 1 Episode 8 recap So…we come in on Bridget, terrified, watching this ultrasound, which is amazing. Also, if it’s her ‘first’ ultrasound, let me just say that this is an unusually genteel way to um, check stuff. Thanks, preggo friends, for filling me in on that By Duana • Nov 14, 2011 10:12 am
Sons of Anarchy Long Live The King Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Episode 10 recap Years ago, I took this leadership position that was handed down by someone else. I was super-young, and thought I could do it, no problem. I was pretty proud to have been bestowed it, too. Until, pretty early on, the group decided By Duana • Nov 10, 2011 12:15 pm
