TV Review: Does the Vampire Diaries Measure Up?

Welcome to Mystic Falls, where high school students look years older than they should, teachers get angry at students for not knowing historic facts about their town, and fog machines appear to be peppered throughout the small town, set to go off whenever anyone is left alone for too long. This is the Vampire Diaries. [...]

Flashforward Sneak Peek Released

With a new television season looming on the horizon, one of the most anticipated shows to be watched this fall is ABC’s Flashforward, set to debut on September 24, 2009 at 8/7 Central.

Heroes Season 4 Preview

Without revealing any of the sordid details for those that haven’t seen it yet, while the second half of the third [...]

What’s the Deal with “Defying Gravity”?

What do you get when you mix Grey’s Anatomy with something akin to Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey?
