J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 3 – Best Freshmen Shows
2009 saw a surprising number of quality shows premiere, and I thought I’d take a look at the best of ‘em. No cheating here, if something (like Leverage) had a few eps in 2008, it won’t be on the list. So here you are, the best shows that haven’t been on the air for a [...]
J/DB’s 12 Days of Lists – Day 9 – Breakout Actors of ‘09
Now when you normally see a list like this, the writer has taken ‘breakout’ to mean ‘the average person would recognize them, if not know their name’. But it’s just us TV geeks here, right? We’re all familiar with slagging away in the IMDB trenches to come up with data. So when I say breakout, [...]
Basking in the Whedony Goodness
It may have been over a month since Dollhouse was last on and, yeah okay so it kinda got canceled during that downtime, but I’ll be damned if either of those things had any effect on my enjoyment of the two eps we got on Friday.
It’s weird, but there are normally two responses I have [...]
Epitaph One
So I picked up the first season of Dollhouse on DVD a while back, and last night my roommate and I finally got around to checking out the double secret probation thirteenth episode, Epitaph One. I was looking forward to it because a) Dollhouse and b) Felicia Day, but even with my high expectations I [...]
Jerk’s Show Return Spectacular!
I found after watching a couple of the season premieres this season that I had a few words to say about them, but not enough that I thought they warranted a post of their own. But now that I’ve watched all of the premieres (well, almost. Season five sucked enough that I haven’t worked up [...]
Jerk’s TV Geeks V: The Ones That Didn’t Make It
To finish off this week of geekitude, here’s a look at some of the names that almost graced my list(s) but didn’t.
First up, the Lone Gunmen. I’m sure some of you were wondering how none of my lists could feature Langly, Byers, or Frohike. Unlike Jonathan, who I saw as separate and geekier than the [...]
Thursday Three – when all else fails try alliteration
This morning I woke up to three exciting pieces of TV news. Considering that was about 12 hours ago you’ve probably heard all of these by now from other sources and because we have never pretended to be a breaking news source or a news source at all we’re okay with that. I’m merely here [...]
JDB Actor Bingo: Day 4
I’ll be honest, I first fell in love with this next actor on a teen show produced by Mel Gibson. That might sound strange and it is but with a long and diverse resume Keith Carradine is no stranger to strange.
Keith Carradine comes from a family of actors and got his start on Broadway in [...]
Jerk's Fav Finales of the Year
Now that it’s June, I figured I’d kick off the summer by taking a look back at some of the great finales we had this past season. This was probably one of my favourite years for finales, as there were some really amazing ones that I eventually wrangled down to a top five. This list [...]
Are The TV Networks Actually Getting It?
I gently borrowed that headline from our dear friend over at The Three S’s. She gave a rundown of the favorite shows that will be returning for a sophomore year and wondered if maybe the networks are catching on. I think I’m going to have to disagree.
This morning I woke up to a tweet about [...]
