Will I stick with *The Playboy Club* NBC's new period drama?

I can save the article and write here YES! It may not be as stylish and probably not as historically correct as Mad Men but for me its a lot more enjoyable. I don't know if this show will work as a full 22 episode season or if it should be more of a mini series because the story line of the mob murder doesn't feel like it can play out for long, nor can the presence of a young Mr Hugh Heffner, but I gotta...

CBS adds another comedy show to its Monday block with *2 Broke Girls*

2 Broke Girls (CBS) is a comedy about two very different girls, and when I say different I am not just talking about their looks, I mean language upbringing everything very much the opposite of each other.  This idea has been kinda done to death as well a show about two opposites but of course its been done to death because it always seems to work.I was sceptical about this show before it started, from all the promos...

Could it be another Sci-Fi hit for the CW with *The Secret Circle*

In a way I was kinda hoping I wouldn't get hooked onto another Sci-Fi teen show, they seem to be my weakness, but low and behold The Secret Circle has me wanting more.  'The Secret Circle' is also a series of books by the same author of The Vampire Diaries and has been made into a TV show by the same creator as The Vampire Diaries, so I was expecting some similarities.  Now either I was just blinded by...

NBC brings the comedy with *Up All Night* and *Free Agents*

NBC's new comedy block kicked off tonight with Christina Applegate's new comedy 'Up All Night', and the US adaptation of 'Free Agents' starring Hank Azaria.  Out of the two I gotta say i preferred Up All Night, probably because it means my weekly Christina Applegate fix is back, Samantha Who? was cancelled waaaaaaaaaay too early so Im very happy to have her back on the small screen.  That doesn't mean...

One of the most anticipated shows of the season *Ringer* has finally aired!

Before you read on this might be spoilery for you, it depends on how much you have seen from the promos etc.I have been most excited about this show to air, not just because of the fact the Sarah Michelle Gellar was coming back to a TV leading role but also because i could not work out what the hell it was actually about.  Thankfully the pilot episode did give me answers, and also gave me a lot more questions, mind you what can you expect...

Check Out *New Girl* The New FOX Comedy

Ok so i wasn't aware this was already available on-line.  I am so happy it is though because I LOVED it, literally was laughing out loud at some points.  The opening set up a basic introduction to who Zooey's character is and her what we will call by end of the season 'classic traits' are.  Jess (Zooey) is what I like to call a loveable geek who is very comfortable being herself  which you don't see...
