Tuesday’s TV
Tuesday’s top picks: Parent issues abound on tonight’s episode of House. Who needs therapy when you’ve got TV? FOX, 8:00 The Mentalist solves cases by noticing itty bitty details. It’s just like Psych, but not as funny. CBS, 9:00 I will continue to pretend that I’m not a woman in my 30s who passionately hated all fraternities at [...]

I knew I’d been busy and distracted lately, but it was only when I realized that I’d missed Pop Vultures first birthday, back in late September, that I knew things had gotten out of hand. It is completely unlike me to miss an opportunity for cake. Something had to be done. And, thankfully, something has. Today, [...]

Monday’s top picks: My favorite night of television is back! Chuck continues to charm in its second season. It is followed by Heroes, which continues to mostly bore. NBC, 8:00 and 9:00 How I Met Your Mother is still going ahead with Ted’s pretend engagement. It’s pretend in my world, at least. CBS, 8:30 Soapy goodness is available [...]

I make no secret of the fact that I love Gossip Girl. Sure, the show’s first season had a somewhat rocky start, but I’ve been an unabashed fan for quite some time now, and it is with difficulty that I attempt an objective review of the show’s second season. Let’s face it — we don’t [...]

(Daemon’s TV) GMMR is begging & pleading with all of you to please watch PUSHING DAISIES. It’s the best show only 6M of you are [...]

I am forced to write a post of two parts this week, because the BBC has been tickling my fancy at both ends of the quality spectrum recently. First they build me up with an intelligent and thought-provoking documentary, presented by the thinking woman’s crumpet, James May. And then they bring me plummeting back down [...]

Wednesday’s top picks: Pushing Daisies visits the circus on tonight’s episode, all but guaranteeing a visual feast. ABC, 9:00 On tonight’s Bones, Brennan and Booth solve a murder. Never saw that coming, did ya? FOX, 8:00 At long last, Project Runway heads to the finale. I’m watching this, then I’m done with this show. DONE, I tell you. [...]

This week, Pop Vultures is taking a look at returning shows and offering snap judgments on their new seasons. Today, it’s House’s turn. 1. Compared to the previous season(s): House really shouldn’t be interesting anymore. It’s been trotting out the same formula each week for the last four years: someone with an obscure — and frequently [...]

Tuesday’s top pick: The second presidential debate is tonight. Considering how important this election could be to the country and the world, may I humbly suggest that we all record 90210 and watch the candidates, instead? 9:00pm EST, 6:00pm PST, lots of channels Share This

Exhibit A for why I love this show.
The BBC has released the first trailer for Merlin, the 13-episode retelling of the famous fantasy saga. The series will also air on NBC this winter.
Kristen Chenoweth uses the power of song to explain exactly why crystal meth is a bad thing. Some NSFW language.

Monday’s top picks:
There’s something for everyone on Monday night. How I Met Your Mother still makes me laugh every week, which is something I never thought I’d say for a CBS comedy. CBS, 8:30
Chuck also still makes me laugh. So does Heroes, which follows it, though I’m pretty sure Chuck is the only one that’s intentionally funny. NBC, 8:00 and 9:00
For cheesy goodness, Gossip Girl’s second season has more than lived up to the promise of the first one. Chuck may be the greatest soap villain since Amanda Woodward first flexed her claws. CW, 8:00
