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?

Ahhh Dorks, least common of the TV geeks. Once again, just my top five in no particular order:

Regarding Apathy
I’ve been really enjoying Warehouse 13 so far (not Party Down or Leverage enjoying, but let’s say Raising the Bar enjoying. For keeping track of on your Jerk-Like-O-Meter. Shut up.), and this week’s episode continued that trend (yay for gropey Ivan Sergei! Mac Ramsey FTW) but there was one bit I wasn’t really buying.
With the [...]
Warehouse 13: A Couple Hours In
I’ve now seen both the two-hour pilot and the second (third?) episode of Sci–er, SyFy’s new series Warehouse 13. The show seems to be very much the result if you took Fringe, removed the focus on math and science to explain the phenomena, and instead gave the team a variety of awesome tools to capture [...]
