2011 Primies: Best Moments
We all watch television in eager anticipation of those watercooler moments—those moments so shocking, so emotional, so incredibly awesome that we have to a) rewind to watch them about twenty times and b) rehash them to death with all of our fellow watchers. And I honor my picks for those moments here, along with video clips of each [...]
2011 Primies: Best Characters
The start of a new year makes us all reflect on the previous 365 days, but it makes this blogger reminisce not only about the year that was but also the television that was. That’s right: as is tradition this time of year, it’s time for another round of the Primies. Not the most prestigious awards, perhaps, but let’s hope [...]

2010 Emmys: My Winners
For those of you wondering where the latest installment of my Lost re-watch is, don’t fret. I’ve decided to take a two week hiatus after every two seasons just to publish a few other non-Lost stories for the non-Lost fans. (Blog post variety [...]
The Prime Times: Get Your Fill Edition
Yes, this installment of The Prime Times is chock-full of fortifying TV scoop. Yumm-o!
- Steven Spielberg is in talks with FOX to develop a dinosaur drama! (That sentence begged for an exclamation point.) The project, tentatively titled Terra Nova, would see a family from the future travel to prehistoric times. But obviously, [...]
The Prime Times: Post “Lost” Edition
Lordy lordy, do I have a ton of news items to share. Let’s waste no time:
