It seems as though Hollywood’s “remake fever” has reached critical mass. When, pray tell, will this odious trend finally explode, set fire to the fallow field of the industry, and let us start anew? I’m not saying that remakes are inherently bad. I think The A-Team was loads of fun and re-imagined the series while… Read More Remake it or break it (I wish it was all in Hamlet’s head!)
It’s no secret that ABC Family’s PRETTY LITTLE LIARS is one of my favorite shows, but I also enjoy a show about some pretty grown-up liars: CBS’s THE GOOD WIFE!

That’s not to say that I think there’s anything sexual going on (Come on people, I’m… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
I finally cracked open The Vampire Diaries season one DVDs my brother got me for Christmas and amused myself by rewatching the pilot. And, my goodness, was it pilot-y! It’s stilted, with all the characters drawn in broad strokes and spouting info dump-y lines. The diary portions book-ending the episode are particularly painful. I remember… Read More The Vampire Diaries at first bite
Riddle me this: Why isn’t GH’s new pediatrician, Terrell Jackson, Tommy Hardy? If you’re going to add someone to an already burgeoning cast, why not at least tie them to the show’s history and its founding family? Think about it…Lisa bringing Terrell to town to mess with Robin would be even more viable if he… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
