If Eli Stone had a Time Machine
If Eli Stone had a time machine would he still be here today?
That’s what I started asking myself as I finally got around to working my way through the canceled second season of the show about a prophet lawyer who randomly bursts into lavish song and dance numbers. (Season two’s addition of Katie Holmes is [...]
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 [...]
Raising the Bar Gets Canned
This week TNT declared that they will not be renewing Raising the Bar. I’m honestly disappointed with this decision from a fan, – content based position. I understand it was strategically inevitable with the numbers it was pulling but the show was good. It featured great characters, interesting story lines, great guests and awesome hair. [...]
Jerk Rants About the Cancellation of a Show He Didn’t Watch (Though His Mom Said She Liked It).
I’m going to talk about the cancellation of Southland now, which is a show I’ve never watched. Whether y0u liked the show or not isn’t really important here, the issue is quite clearly with the how and the why of the cancellation.

Rich Find in Deadwood
Deadwood was a show that single handedly changed my view on swearing and period drama in one fell swoop. It brought together great stories, great characters, humor, drama, great acting, amazing sets, mustaches, murder, sweet hats, drinking, mud, whores and gold mining. Seriously, what more could you want? I just finished watching the entire series from [...]
Dear Jerk
I’ve been doing a little holiday shopping lately, looking for the perfect gift for you and nothing seemed just right until this morning. I woke up to this little piece of news that I knew would make you truly happy. Yeah, I know it’s a little early but here it is: NBC has seen the [...]
Our Anti-Thanksgiving Thanklist
You may or may not know that we here at jerk/doublebitch are not of the American persuasion but there’s no doubt that American television has effects that ring around the world. I’m up way too early to watch parades that don’t make any sense to me. The balloons are cool but up here? Santa gets [...]
