TV Tryouts

There’s too many things on TV.  You can’t possibly watch them all.  But you can take a moment and try a few new ones to see if maybe they stick.  Here are few new shows I’ve watched the first third of a season and my thoughts on said shows.    Hello Ladies: This show stars Stephen Merchent and is based in L.A.  Honestly to me it feels like HBO simultaneously was missing Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm at the...

The Walking Dead: Episodes 2 & 3

This show is good (right?).  I’ve been having a weird experience watching it.  On the one hand it’s really entertaining.  But on the other hand it seems to just come up short.  I’m not sure how to explain it, but certain ideas come up and then they veer away from them.  While I actually like the real issue of would be, not so dangerous day to day sicknesses being extremely fatal right now, it makes sense, I’m...

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Episode 5

. Score: 9   Last week’s episode renewed my faith in the series. “The Girl in the Flower Dress” builds on it and is getting me excited about the show. After a lackluster start in the first three episodes, this series is beginning to gain momentum. The episode begins in Hong Kong with Chan Ho Yin. He is a pyro kinetic with the ability to create and control fire. As such, he is visited by a girl in a flower dress, Raina (Ruth...
