Up All Night Review: "Day After Valentine's Day" (Episode 1.15)

Up All Night has had the ability to turn classic sitcom lore into something clever without ever going over the top. It’s something I’ve said before and will continue saying until this over-looked freshman comedy gets the praise it deserves. After moving to Thursday nights, the Will Arnett and Christina Applegate parent comedy still is lacking in reviews, but that doesn’t stop it from churning out highly entertaining episodes.  read more

J.J. Abrams keeps churning out high-concept sci-fi dramas one right after another and this time it’s a NBC pilot called Revolution. Last week the new show was picked up by the network for a pilot commitment and now the project has a director in big-budget action film guru Jon Favreau.  read more

Greg Daniels (creator of the American version of The Office) has already generated a lot of buzz for another British adaptation with Friday Night Dinner, which was picked up by NBC for a pilot test a few weeks ago.

Smash Review: "Pilot" (Episode 1.01)

The series, about all of the aspects surrounding a new musical about Marilyn Monroe, is going to draw hefty comparisons to the only other successful musical series on television. Whether it’s a preconceived idea, like I had, or because it warrants the links because it’s a musical, the comparisons will continue to fall into place until Smash proves it’s different.  read more

The Firm Review: "Chapter Six" (Episode 1.06)

We’re six episodes in to NBC’s The Firm and new characters just keep getting thrown our way causing a messy web of plots. It doesn’t help that there’s always a trial of the week to distract viewers from the Sarah Holt case that is the backbone of the entire series. So, let’s focus on Sarah Holt and not the trial of the week that focuses on an immigrant getting framed for arson. Last week Mitch’s crew found a shredded piece of paper in Holt’s apartment with the names of the four former nurses that took care of the elderly lady who Holt supposedly met and killed all in one day.  read more

Up All Night Review: "Preschool Auction" (Episdoe 1.14)

Week after week the show actually makes me look forward to parenthood. Will Arnett and Christina Applegate are great in their roles as Chris and Reagan. It’s refreshing to see such a small cast carry such a strong show. “Preschool Auction” implements the dual plot that makes the show so successful. Reagan takes on a charity auction at a preschool she wants Amy to attend…in two years. Meanwhile Chris has a friendly sibling rivalry with his brother who comes to visit.  read more
