‘Army Wives’ 2.18 Review: Departures, Arrivals

Original Air Date: October 26, 2008
“Departures, Arrivals,” the next to last episode of the second season of Army Wives, is a mixture of predictable and sweet. What’s missing is all of the angst-ridden buildup to the season closer, which is unusual for a dramatic series like this that often aims to pull heartstrings. […]

‘Rita Rocks’ 1.02 Review: Lies Mean I Love You

Episode: Lies, Lies, Lies, Yeah-AhOriginal Air Date: October 21, 2008
I like Rita Rocks. True, I’ll like it even more when Lifetime stops airing it every single weeknight (once per week is more than enough). But, even with the overexposure, the one episode I’ve caught thus far is entertaining, engaging, and funny, and it […]

‘Army Wives’ 2.17 Review: All in the Family

Original Air Date: October 19, 2008
This episode of Army Wives begins with excellent news: Trevor’s doctor informs him and Roxy that his shoulder injury will not prevent him from returning to combat.
On the downside, Roxy’s mom Marda (Gigi Rice) shows up at Bettys Bar and Grill out of the blue, with a fiance at her […]

‘Fringe’ 1.05 Review: Blast from the Past

Episode: Power HungryOriginal Air Date: October 14, 2008
The main plot of the “Power Hungry” episode of Fringe concerns a dorky guy with the power to control electricity. As fantastic as that sounds, the episode belongs to FBI Agent Olivia Dunham, or more precisely, her presumed-dead former partner and lover John Scott. I […]

‘Army Wives’ 2.16 Review: Transitions

Original Air Date: October 12, 2008
The latest episode of Army Wives is a more traditional installment mixing a couple of sentimental yet ultimately uplifting storylines with a couple that promise more drama down the road.
In the first case, we have Joan and Roland enjoying some time at home with their newborn Sarah Elizabeth and Roland’s […]

‘The Ex List’ 1.02 Review: Work It, Baby!

Episode: Climb Every Mountain BikerOriginal Air Date: October 10, 2008
Sure, I was one of the many ardent Moonlight fans who cursed CBS up and down and all around when the network dared to cancel the series. Even so, this being the notoriously fickle TV business, I decided long ago not to pick on The […]

‘Ghost Whisperer’ 4.02 Review: More Haunted Than Haunting

Episode: Big ChillsOriginal Air Date: October 10, 2008
Luckily for me, the latest episode of Ghost Whisperer is much more enjoyable than the season premiere. Sure, it still has one of those emotional breakdown endings the show is famous for, but I suspect fans would expect and accept no less.
The spook-of-the-week this time is a […]

‘The Starter Wife’ 2.02 Review: Molly Was Robbed

Episode: The DIA/The Diary of a Mad Ex-HousewifeOriginal Air Date: October 10, 2008
“The Diary of a Mad Ex-Housewife” is all about finding that darn journal stolen from Molly during Zach’s party. It never turns up, but a whole bunch of juicy gossip from it does on the dish-loving website Dizzy-Land.com.
What’s worse, the tidbits are […]

Bravo! We are off to a spectacular start! It is so satisfying watching the series version of The Starter Wife, not only because we fans get to see more of our favorite characters from the miniseries, but also because this show just has great […]

‘Sanctuary’ 1.03 Review: Three Witches

Episode: Fata MorganaOriginal Air Date: October 10, 2008
After checking out this week’s episode “Fata Morgana,” I’m liking Sci Fi Channel’s Sanctuary. It has a nice, if familiar, contrast going on between contemplative, accepting doctor Helen (Amanda Tapping) and skeptical but surprisingly quick-witted doctor Will (Robin Dunne). Maybe it’s the dour expression or his […]
