Speaking of Showtime, does anyone remember "The Chris Isaak Show"? Now THAT was fun.

Please tell me Thomas Magnum's daughter falls in love with Jim Rockford's son and they name their first child "Lance White Rockford-Magnum." PLEASE.

Same here. USA lost me when they moved "Psych" from Friday to, like, Tuesday or something.The bastards!!!

Nah, that was "The Office."

If it is, we're suing them for stealing our idea.

Hmmm…. "Suits." Could there be a show there???

Kirkwood always describes his franchise as "The zombie movie that never ends." But there's a reason no one ever made the zombie movie that doesn't end—- because that movie is incredibly boring.

Dear God, I just read the same item. You might be right about the slack-cutting thing. On the other hand, FTWD airs on AMC, not NBC, a venue with (supposedly) altogether loftier standards. On the other, other hand, AMC has pretty much f'd up every show it broadcasts with the glorious exception of "Breaking Bad" and…

It has often seemed to me that horror cinema (and, by extension, horror TV) is based on two unalterable premises: (1) The world is full of stupid people, and (2) Stupid people deserve to die. But this show is taking those premises to a whole new level.

I think you mean Brisco Finley County, Jr.

Two words: Bruce Campbell, baby!!! (Well, OK, three words.)

The writers, god help them, are in a bind—- on this show and the original. The problem, basically, is that the more realistically they depict their characters, the less interesting they (and the show) are likely to be. Take Alicia, for example. Yes, it was incredibly stupid of her to do what she did with the radio.…

I also thought this episode was much stronger than the reviewer indicated. Not perfect, to be sure. A jarring note for me was Scully's too abrupt avowal that she "had to work" and therefore return to Philadelphia mere minutes after her mother died. We know from previous episodes that Scully is inclined to bury upset…

Thanks for the kind words. And don't get me wrong— I think some of the mythology episodes are very good. "Erlenmeyer Flask" is one of my all-time favorites; I even found a way to sneak it into a piece I wrote for Salon a few years back. And I suppose it could be argued that "Jose Chung," which many people (moi…

Yep, they've had a few clunkers. Nobody's perfect, right?

One of my all-time favorite episodes and the first one to make me really believe these people were falling in love with each other, not just engaging in a workplace flirtation. And I couldn't agree more about Anderson. "Ice" and "Beyond the Sea," both from season one, are astonishingly assured performances from…

Sadly, I must agree.

My daughter and I watch "Jose Chung" at least once a month. That script should have its own exhibit at the Smithsonian!

I'm sorry for the pain you and your wife have endured, AJ. It sounds like the two of you found a way through it, in the sense that you've managed to fit it, somehow, into the life you've built together. That says a lot about your commitment to each other and to your personal fortitude and resolve. Hemingway says…

I am honored, Nora.
