I’m having this weird DNW reaction to Downton Abbey’s Emmy noms. Not because I don’t love the show, but because it’s British, and despite the fact that it’s co-bankrolled by an NBC subsidary, it just seems odd to have a foreign show taking so many major noms at the Emmys. I dunno. I mean, I’m foreign myself (Canadian, obviously), and I love England ( Read more... )

Oral history of Friday Night Lights

Berg: [In the original Friday Night Lights movie], Connie Britton's role was sort of Pretty Wife Clapping in the Stands, which is about the shittiest job an actress can have. At least Talia Shire got to own a pet store and go ice-skating with Rocky.

Oh, show. I love these people so

1. Okay, I clearly need to do an FNL rewatch, because I cannot remember for the life of me who Matt Czuchry played. Chris Kennedy? I do not remember this character!

2. In related news, I'm crushing on Matt big time as I watch The Good Wife. I loooooove Cary. Love him. Totally ship him with Alicia. (In a casual way -- I know the odds of it ( Read more... )

It's so, so hard to stick the landing and create a truly satisfying series finale, but I watched the FNL finale tonight, and I think they succeeded marvellously. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. Bravo, show. Bravo. I'm going to miss you, Dillon.

While I really like every single character on The Vampire Diaries, I think Caroline has become my absolute favourite. Well, her and Jeremy. (Don't make me choose!) I really enjoyed Caroline last season, but this season? She's just the best. I love, love, LOVE her scenes with Tyler. Speaking of Tyler, Michael Trevino is killing it.

I take such delight in the utter failure of Jay Leno at 10 p.m. Nothing personal against Leno, although I've never really watched him, but as a fan of TV dramas, I've hated the idea from day one.

Leno’s very temporary weeknight home will soon be filled by two more hours of scripted content, an hour of reality, an expanded Dateline, and some ( Read more... )

Friday Night Lights continues to be amazing. Oh, my heart.

Thanks to one and all for the flurry of Christmas wishes! You've all made my day. Our first snowflakes are drifting down here in Toronto, so I'm full of festive cheer.

In other news, I watched the most recent episode of Friday Night Lights last night. Oh, my heart. Seriously, if this show doesn't get any Emmy love this season, I'll...well, I'll ( Read more... )
