Ever since the new TV season started I’ve been pretty pissed off at Heroes. I believe my exact words have been:
Dear Heroes,
KNOCK IT OFF WITH THE RACISM AND SEXISM ALREADY.
Beyond that, the writing/plotting itself hasn’t been the best. Everyone I know who watches has been grumbling in the same way.
Usually when this occurs, [...]

Fall is upon us. That means new TV shows on the horizon and season premieres up the wazoo. Ah, when I was a child this was the only thing that lifted my mood after having to return to the evil that was school.
Of course, it’s all different now. Back then the summer was a time [...]

Someone asked last week if there were any shows I felt did well on the gender or race front. Though they are few and far between, some exist. One of them is TNT’s The Closer, which I just love to watch. Unfortunately (or perhaps this is a good thing) the show only [...]

Don’t ask me why, but I love the original CSI. And even though the season finale made me go ‘meh’, I’m looking forward to this new season. Not just for the return of my favorite investigators, but because they’re adding a newbie to the cast who is not only black but a woman! [...]

In comments, Dead Man Walking said:
Another show that I believe has good minority characters is Stargate Atlantis. IMO, they are fair and balanced. Teyla and Ronin are good guys. Aiden is a rogue team member who became a bad guy. I don’t think that they can be more balanced.
Unfortunately I am going to have to [...]

Someone requested a post on Heroes and I had planned to do one way back at the season finale, just never got around to it. I am very excited about season 2 and hope that it’s even better than season 1. Though S1 was great, it had a few flaws. One major [...]

So yesterday I watched Tuesday’s episode of Eureka and, I have to say, it was an example of some of the worst writing I’ve ever seen on that show. Normally I can forgive some meh dialogue and a plot point that doesn’t quite work for an overall happy effect. But everything about last [...]

I have a bunch of posts that I wanted to write about TV shows and race and gender and I had this silly idea of spreading them out over the summer as I completed them. This pipe dream did not come true. And since the Fall TV season is approaching faster than the actual season [...]

It’s the end of May and most of my favorite shows are winding up for the season. I would be depressed about this except networks recently figured out that people don’t take a break from the tube in the summer anymore, so they often bring out Summer Only Shows around June or so. [...]

I like blogging about TV, I’ve discovered, and I’ll probably do it once a week or so as time goes by. I’m just doing a bunch at once because, as I said, I felt like a little break would be fun. Then again, this one is filled with a lot of anger…
