Leverage: “The Homecoming Job”
Doc, he’s cool. I found him on the Internet. Yes, that never goes badly. The second episode, airing in its regular slot on Tuesday nights finds the team scattered around the world. That’s not really a shock as they aren’t a team yet. Sophie’s still “acting”, auditioning for a soap commercial with all the subtlety…

Leverage: “The Nigerian Job”
Nathan: My job is helping people. I find bad guys. Sophie: Well go find some bad guys. Bad guys have money. Black King. White Knight. As Nathan Ford sits in an empty lounge waiting for a flight, self-medicating from his stash of mini bottles, he’s approached by Victor Dubenich (Saul Rubinek) with a job. Victor…

Interview with Leverage creators
This fall has not been a great season for TV. New shows have been painful letdowns, old shows have come up short, and the few standouts have either been canceled – Pushing Daisies – or ended their runs in heart stopping fashion like The Shield. So even when something’s been great, we won’t be seeing…

Pushing Daisies: “Comfort Food”
Young Ned’s lesson tonight is one we could all stand to learn: “even a forkful of immediate gratification can lead to a world of grave consequences.” Young Ned learned while opening the oven at the Longborough School for Boys and letting the aroma of pie waft through the night. It was a lesson Chuck could…

I just finished the short, from May director Lucky McKee, and chuckled quite a bit. If you like subversive and…

Pushing Daisies: “Robbing Hood”
Ned: I’m out of counter space, so I’m stress baking in my head. Chuck: Feels like you’re stress baking me. Ned: I’m channeling fear into anger. Emerson: Anger leads to hate. Chuck: Hate leads to stress baking the people you love. Watching tonight with one eye and a heavy heart was probably not the best…

Pushing Daisies: “Oh Oh Oh…It’s Magic”
There have been quite a few very well suited guest stars on Pushing Daisies – Molly Shannon, Patrick Fabian, the brilliant Paul Reubens – but none fit quite so well as Fred Willard. Now, I’m a sucker for Willard, always have been. He’s got a real warmth to go with the absurd-oblivious air he affects,…

Batman: The Brave and the Bold
I probably should have mentioned this *before* it premiered, but I’d totally spaced on it until mid-day on Friday. Then, I figured I should watch it before recommending it. Sorry about that. Because You Should Be Watching This! At least you should if you like fun, light-hearted action that doesn’t take itself seriously but takes…
