Grey's Anatomy
So, the Shawn Ryan interview is in today's paper. In addition to reprinting the exchange I already put here, this was the most interesting thing he said: "I spoke with the writers at the beginning of the year and I said, 'Let's not save

After staying up late for the non-surprise surprise win of "Crash," I sacked out early last night, not too long after I got done with "How I Met Your Mother." Easily the worst, flattest episode they've done to date, and while I'd
How I Met Your Mother
Sorry for the delay, but I was waiting for NJ.com to finally load up today's column, in which I point out something that may or may not have been obvious to the rest of you for a long time: that "House" and "Scrubs"
How I Met Your Mother
For the people who discovered this blog after the Sorkin/Schlamme or "Arrested Development" items, it was lousy timing that I almost immediately went out to LA for press tour and didn't have much time to, you know, watch TV. Well, I'm back, and
How I Met Your Mother
While we're on the subject of "How I Met Your Mother," a couple of other thoughts: 1)Whoever's responsible for Barney's Blog over on the CBS website is having an awful lot of fun with it. In the latest entry, he details
How I Met Your Mother
First up, links du jour: my review of "The Shield" (I'll have more spoiler-y discussion tomorrow), and a mailbag column about Dick Clark, "Arrested Development" and a short-lived Newark cop show called "The Street." Meanwhile, things either got pret-ay, pret-ay interesting over
Arrested Development
This is a tricky time of year to be a daily TV columnist. On the one hand, I have so many midseason shows arriving in the mail that I barely have time to watch them all. (Today's jackpot: the first four episodes of "The Shield" season
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Working through the last two days in reverse chronological order: "Prison Break": Well, the good news is that they didn't bust out yet, since I still can't imagine enjoying the post-escape show based on the ham-fistedness of the conspiracy scenes (exemplified by the reformed
How I Met Your Mother
Real estate is an obsession in the New York/New Jersey area. At every party I attended during my single days, if there were four conversations going on at once, two or three of them would be about square footage, rent hikes, crazy landlords and, as we got older, mortgage
Arrested Development
So here I was, all prepared to write a column, or a blog entry, or both, on how bored I've been by most of what this season has to offer, when I went to TV Tattle and saw that Melanie McFarland had beaten me to the punch. Few
Grey's Anatomy
Spent the weekend in Boston, which should be my last travel weekend for a while, but it still leaves me lagging behind on TV. Before I get to what I have seen lately, some links: * Monday's All TV column, with Matt giving what may be The Star-Ledger'
Gilmore Girls
Today is my birthday, which may have contributed to yesterday's long dark tea-time of the soul. As John Astin liked to say on "Night Court," I'm feeling much better now. There's so damn much on every Tuesday night that it's
