Can y’all tell I’m excited about the new season?

Leverage: The song we’ve all been waiting for
Very short, very quick note to all the people who were looking for the song that opened the episode “The 12 Step Job” of Leverage, it’s been posted for your pleasure, along with a little more background on it, at iFMagazine.com. Leverage returns to TNT this summer; we’ll be reviewing it as always.

Law & Order: Criminal Intent keeps going and going…
“Why are you a cop?” “Because I like it, and I’m good at it, and that kid is a killer.” Returning for its eighth ((!)) season this Sunday, April 19 at 9/8c, Law & Order: Criminal Intent doesn’t have the cachet of its sister or the mothership, but it keeps trudging along at a high…

TBS To add original animated fare to its lineup
In a real “fish out of lake of fire” story, Pam Brady (South Park) and Mireille Soria (Madagascar) are bringing Neighbors From Hell to TBS with an initial 10-episode order. The setup has potential, but execution is key. I can’t make any guesses about the animation style because we’re looking at two EPs with very…

Friday Night Lights: “Tomorrow Blues”
Y’all have had a really nice relationship and you don’t know what’s going to happen after that. If you and Matt are meant to be together you’ll be together. And if you’re not, there’s going to be someone else special for you. And so the long ride comes to a close. We diehards hold out…

All underdogs can do is push, strive, and keep trying against overwhelming odds and insurmountable forces. Would the Panthers find the hearts of champions within…

Cupid: Where’s Jar Jar?
Sigh. No, that wasn’t a happy sigh. It wasn’t a sigh of contentment. It was disappointment and disillusionment and disgust. It was lamentation of the fact that Rob Thomas has trodden on his own creation with the same ham-handed, tin-eared lack of grace George Lucas demonstrated with Phantom Menace. It was just a sigh. Cupid,…

Friday Night Lights: “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall”
In Mo Ryan’s recap/preview of FNL’s third season she pointed out how much this season has replayed the greatest hits of season one. ((And fortunately did NOT put any dead bodies in the trunks of cars.)) That’s certainly true, but is to be expected to a certain extent in a show about teenagers. After all,…
