Summer was fun etc., but we've been riding unreasonable levels of excitement for the fall TV season; us high culture junkies are in need of a fix. And this fall more than any other -- riding the well documented successes... CONTINUE READING THE WEEK IN SHOW TUNES»

Last night Weeds welcomed Matthew Modine to the cast! How ... not as exciting as the creators think.

The second season of Weeds premieres on Showtime 8/14, and while that theme song was cute the first three times, I don't know if I can stand to hear Melvina Reynolds yodel "Little Boxes" one more time. Thankfully, the showrunners... CONTINUE READING MARY JANE'S NEXT DANCE»
