Let me just start out this review by saying that “Band of Brothers” is a fantastic miniseries. That is a fact that cannot be disputed by anyone, and if you’re looking for a more realistic portrayal of what WWII was for the American Airborne, then you’d better get to working on that time machine of [...]

Weeds, Seasons 1-3
Most comedies are generally fun in one way or the other. After all, that’s their purpose in life, but not all comedies go beyond that superficial pleasing feeling that laughter gives you. “Scrubs” doesn’t, and neither does “How I Met Your Mother” - two of the very best shows in the genre that are still [...]
Lost, Season 1
This series looked like it was over-average interesting when it first aired, oh-so many years ago. A lot of my friends and other people I know started watching and raving about how good ‘Lost’ was, and I thought to myself that I’d better see what all the fuss is about.
But I never did. [...]
Mad Men, Season 1
“Mad Men”
“A term coined in the late 1950’s to describe the advertising executives of Madison Avenue.
They coined it.”
I am, for obvious reasons, not nostalgic about olden times where men were men and women were women. When smoking wasn’t considered stupid, but cool and trendy. When things were clear-cut and everyone knew which side of the [...]
‘Chuck’ & ‘Kyle XY’ Made Me Enjoy ‘Life’
‘Chuck’ is in parts an awesome show, and in other parts, well… not that awesome, really.
But that doesn’t stop me from liking the hell out of it. This is a show about a nerd named Chuck that one day receives an e-mail from his former best friend that contains all the CIA’s and NSA’s top [...]
‘How I Met Your Mother’
I know what you’re thinking: How the hell did I meet your mother? Well, boys and girls, that’s a story for another time and another place (I couldn’t condone such dirty material to be published on this blog anyway) . In stead, let’s take the time to hear how ‘Ted Mosby’ met his wife, which [...]
Psych, Season 2
You’ve got two options, and sadly, they’re both thoroughly clichéd. On one hand you’ve got the easy way where I quick and succinctly sum up season 2 of Psych in one sentence and leave it at that. Or, you can point wildly at the other hand and jump up and down ’till I unleash its [...]
Psych, Season 1
“Psych” is an incredibly easy show to dissect, thrash and generally make fun of in nasty, yet truthful ways. I could probably go an a marathon-esque rant about all the things that could’ve been better, and no-one of any wits at all would’ve argued against it. ‘Cause when you boil away the water and poke [...]
The ‘Global Frequency’ Scandal
The people that run the TV channels are probably good people too. I mean, clearly they can’t all be evil freakin’ people filled with evil, squirming stuffing. That’d make no sense, now would it?
But you have to wonder when you look at the faiths of such gems like “Firefly”, “Veronica Mars” and “Angel” - all [...]
Deadwood, Season 1
Deadwood is… Ahem… Okay, well… I guess that… What I really mean to say is that…
“Deadwood” is f*cking brainsplode fantastic.
TV doesn’t get better than this twelve parter western drama, and if you haven’t watched it yet you will most likely be hunted down and tagged as an inferior human being. That may sound harsh, and [...]
