My Best TV Shows of 2010

December 8, 2010

5. The Office The Office is no longer the biting satire it once was, but has settled down into the role of the comfortable comedy. This year the show took a dip for me, mostly by the growing smugness of Jim and Pam, the two characters we’re supposed to relate to most, and the growing […]

Spoiler warning: If you have not seen the finale of a particular show you plan on watching, spoilers may be given, so just skip to the next one. 10. The Sopranos – “Made in America” First I must admit that I was not a regular watcher of this highly-acclaimed HBO series.  However, I think that […]

August 5, 2010

10. Dr. Gregory House Series: House (FOX) Portrayed by: Hugh Laurie What sets House apart from the droves of other medical dramas is one thing and one thing only, which is the character of Dr. House.

My 50 Favourite TV Characters – Part 4

August 1, 2010

20. Chief Clancy Wiggam Series: The Simpsons (FOX) Voiced by: Hank Azaria The Simpsons has a lot of stupid characters, yet somehow they manage to make each character unique in their own stupidity. And one of my favourite stupid characters is Chief Wiggam. He makes me laugh probably 98% of the time he’s onscreen. “Bake […]

July 30, 2010

30. Oscar Leroy Series: Corner Gas (CTV) Portrayed by: Eric Peterson Oscar Leroy is the cranky, old curmudgeon of Dog River, SK, and along with his cantankerous behaviour comes a lot of laughs. Oscar can be as giddy as a school girl one minute and then as grumbling as an old bear the next. 29. […]

40. Hiro Nakamura Series: Heroes (NBC) Portrayed by: Masi Oka Hiro was both the comic relief of this superhero based drama, as well as the heart at the core of it all. He was pretty much the only one who legitimately wanted to be a super hero and his enthusiasm was always fun to watch. […]

January 17, 2010

15. Heroes – “Company Man” In the first season of Heroes, audiences, including myself, were captivated with the intriguing storylines and plot twists the show offered, as well as the slow-building tension across the season arc. But in the episode “Company Man, just over the halfway point of the season, we were also hit with […]

Happy New Year everyone!  Time for the best of the year lists!! 5. House House continues to stay fresh by changing up the cast periodicaly and always having interesting storylines. The fifth season ended with the storyline where House is actually going crazy and begins the sixth season in a mental hospital. House isn’t really […]

My Top Ten TV Shows of the Decade

November 30, 2009

10. Entourage (HBO) HBO’s hit comedy about the day-to-day life of a movie star has become one of those consistent, comfortable comedies whose characters feel like old friends to revisit each season. 9. Corner Gas (CTV) Though many have not heard of this show, being a Canadian-made comedy about a town in Saskatchewan, it is […]

The Ten Best Television Cliffhangers

November 25, 2009

10. The West Wing “What Kind of Day Has It Been?” The first season of the West Wing was a show full of spirit and good-hearted drama. Sure, it was somber at times and dealt withsome heavy themes, but it was also full of fast-paced energy and witty dialgue. Therefore, we were all surprised to […]
