“Grey’s Anatomy” reinvents, still fresh
When a television show lasts 11 seasons, it’s generally because of two things: it’s a moneymaker for the network or the ratings are through the roof. With the season finale of “Grey’s Anatomy” approaching in the next few weeks, I’ve found myself still captivated by the series 11 years later. […]
‘Fresh Off the Boat’ a sharp comedy
When it comes to new comedies featured on TV this season, the result has been lackluster to put it mildly. NBC’s best output, “Marry Me,” is endearing and truly funny, but the viewership is just not there and it’s dead in the water. CBS hasn’t really offered anything interesting in […]

October was a great month at the movies, turning out instant hits like “Gone Girl” and “Fury” just to name a couple. Awards season chatter quickly became more prevalent with some of the month’s releases. In the month of November, the number of must-see movies does not let up. Below […]
‘The Comeback’ makes a comeback
Nine years later and they pull her back in! Yep, hello, hello, hello, Valerie Cherish is back this Sunday on HBO. In 2005, “The Comeback,” a show ahead of its time, premiered on HBO, only to last one season before the network pulled the plug. Skip ahead nine years, […]
Early fall TV impressions
Almost two months into the new TV season, there are some clear winners. I already have my favorite, and below I have listed my favorite new drama, comedy and most surprising new show. Granted, there are a few shows that have yet to air, but I have full confidence that […]
October’s must see movies
The beginning of October means one thing to me: awards season movies are ready to hit the big screen. The last two years have provided some really great films during fall. I was skeptical of what kind of movies we would get this year. Not anymore. Below are my picks […]
