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 12 – Influential Movements in TV 2000-2009
Well it’s that time of year again! JDB’s 12 days of … something. Last year we had fun counting the 12 ways Claire Bennett was related to Santa Clause. If you weren’t with us last year, be sure to check that out. But this year we decided to go with something we love here on [...]
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 [...]
Party Down Out-Offices The Office
I kinda wanted to talk about the finale of The Office, but I knew I’d have some sort of ness connecting it to Party Down, so I had to wait for that finale because that’s how my brain works. Best to not question my brain workings, that way lies madness. Annnnnyway, I’ll start with The [...]
More Wang Than I Was Expecting
So we’re now five episodes into Party Down now, I figure it’s time to post my thoughts on it. The cast and crew are a mashup of Veronica Mars people and Apatow people, and I absolutely loved VMars, while Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared were awesome (and the Apatow-related movies we’ve been getting in recent [...]
Rob Thomas Finds New Life
Rob Thomas is all over the place these days but don’t be too hard on yourself if you didn’t notice. I think we all appreciate him for his greatest gift to the TV world, Veronica Mars which died a perhaps premature death but he’s not about to let that be his last hurrah.
Apparently he’s got [...]
Party Let Down
I’m really hoping that Party Down pulls a Demitri Martin and makes me change my mind about the show after the pilot. It was okay. It set the premise showed a few interesting characters. It’s got that awkwardness that makes some shows float or sink depending on how the audience ‘gets’ it. I can see [...]
Whats wrong with this picture?
I meant to answer this all of like two days ago but I also expected someone to notice that a potentially nerd worthy, totally funny show has set it’s premiere on a totally unknown network for not only the same night as the BSG finale but at the SAME DAMN TIME! My heart would break [...]
Monday Crystal Ball
Sometimes I like to sit with my coffee and contemplate the future. Today I’ll look into my crystal ball and share 5 new up coming shows and predict their futures.
The first show I see is Kings. And I predict that it will be awesome. I’ve already added it to my watching roster when it begins [...]
