Thoughts on CBS Three Rivers Episode 6

My schedule simply won't allow me to write a full review on it this week, but I do have a couple of thoughts to share in regards to the 'romance' part of the plot. Natalie posted a thorough review/recap of it on the TR blog and I must say I totally agree with her assessment on the …

Why the Brits/Aussies will always rule US TV

Upon learning this news that David Tenant — the popular star of BBC's Dr. Who — will be a part of the Peacock network, I thought I'd resurrect my old post I did back in June. Funny how things haven't changed one bit since then. Brits/Aussies still very much saturate our shows. Just this Fall, another …

CBS Three Rivers – Episode 3 review

Hubby's out on a company event, so it's been a rather mellow Friday nite. Perfect timing to catch up on Three Rivers that I missed last weekend due to the NFL programming overrun. I must say I quite enjoyed this episode called Good Intentions. All three story lines of the donor/patient were compelling and touching, I …

Gerard Butler on SNL: Fun despite some lame skits

I got an extra dose of Gerard on Saturday nite after seeing him in Law Abiding Citizen on Friday. It's always great to see the funny side of him, but it's extra amusing after watching him play a furious and brutal character the night before. The show opens with The Rock Obama skit. I don't …
