Nip/Tuck: Is The Blade Losing Its Edge?
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Fans have been concerned about one of their favorite shows: Nip/Tuck. Most of the unease seems to revolve around ‘The Carver’ storyline, which the show has heavily focused on since the second half of season 2. The show gained such a huge following in the first season largely due to the way it focused on the pain and terror inside us all, the way we try to change the outside to quiet the monsters inside. Now, with The Carver as a central focus, those emotions have been taken outside of the characters and transformed into a ‘real life’ monster…which has proven to be less fascinating than the original insights. The possibilities were looking up, though, on last night’s episode. Christian dealing with family demons, Sean facing the loss of his family, and both doctors realizing something is missing without their long-time friendship, harkens back to the first season. Bring on the demons, Nip/Tuck. Just keep them inside.

Everyone loves crime dramas. Take a look at the recent Nielsen Ratings: 4 out of the top 5 shows are crime dramas. What if there were a channel where you could get crime any time, all the time? Well, there isn’t. There are two. NBC Universal will launch its Sleuth Channel on January 1st. It will contain television shows and movies: everything from The A-Team to Scarface. Mr. T and Al Pacino hanging out in the same place? Only on TV. In February, A&E Networks will be releasing its Crime & Investigation network. It’s a crime fan paradise. Stay tuned to TV Envy for further updates as the release dates approach.

This is an early announcement, but I’m excited , so I’m posting it now. My favorite actress, Cynthia Nixon, from my favorite (sadly gone) television show, Sex and the City, will guest star on another of my favorite shows, House, in December. Cynthia Nixon will play a patient who butts head with House and refuses to back down in the face of the acerbic House-style insults. If anyone can give it back to House, it’s the fiery Cynthia Nixon. I know I’ll be glued to the TV for this episode.

Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, WB, Gossip, Spoilers,
Gilmore Girls has been taking a lot of flack recently, from fans and critics both. The show is criticized for losing its sparkle and sending the characters into storylines that are both dull and untrue to character. This doesn’t begin to compare to the recent drama. When information about an upcoming spoiler was released, fans reacted with venom. Responses ranged from “This show sucks now!” to “Gilmore Girls has jumped the shark!” to “If this is true I’m never watching the show again!” It has been confirmed by several reputable sources: the spoiler the fans have been dreading is indeed true. Spoiler information after the jump.

Nip/Tuck: Remember to Turn Back Your Clocks!
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Cable, Nip/Tuck,
Okay – is it just me, or does this show have some serious issues with chronology? I really do love Nip/Tuck and am willing to overlook its flaws for the sake of overall enjoyment, but the glaring errors with time cannot go without comment.
Going back to the show from two weeks ago—
Let’s assume that it took about a week for Sean to agree to the crematorium job that was presented to him (the mortuary couldn’t have let those dismembered corpses wait any longer.) Are we supposed to believe that in the same amount of time: Gina pitched her proposal to Julia about the spa.. the ladies presented their plan to McNamara/Troy.. the building was purchased and permits were secured… and a crew had been hired and already started working?? Seriously—by the time Sean got around to dismembering Frankenlaura, the women were already
into their project!!
Now let’s proceed to last week’s episode—
Let’s again assume that it took about a week for Christian to meet with a patient then eventually agree to saw off his leg. In this short period of time: the ladies were able to conceive a new semen-based product.. collect samples from a sperm bank… mix the final ingredients and package it.. present their idea to Joan Rivers.. get it on QVC.. and then already determine that they will turn a profit in their first year?
I mean, I know that women can multitask—and can move mountains when working in threes—but they’re not miracle workers. It pains me to say this: but we’re not gods.

Baker finishes her two-episode arc this week on Nip/Tuck. The November 8th episode will have Christian confronting his mother about the huge bomb she dropped on him in the October 18th episode regarding the identity of his father. Kathy Baker, a three-time Emmy award winner, is best known for her role in the groundbreaking drama Picket Fences. Fans everywhere are anxious to find out if Christian will finally get the closure he deserves. You don’t want to miss this one.

The West Wing: Live Debate
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Prime Time, NBC, West Wing, The,
In case anyone thought the West Wing live experiment would go unnoticed, you were wrong. The debate between Republican presidential candidate, Arnold Vinick, and Democratic candidate, Matt Santos, brought in nearly ten million people. The debate, moderated by TV news veteran Forrest Sawyer, brought in approximately 1.5 million viewers than on an average Sunday night. Maybe people were eager to finally see a debate between two intelligent and articulate men? I know I was.

Shifting The Spotlight On Grey’s Anatomy
Posted by Rhys Alexander Categories: Drama, ABC, Grey’s Anatomy, Editorial,
Every week, Grey’s Anatomy provides us with fun and wackiness, memorable characters and original storylines. But there’s always room for improvement. Perhaps this is blasphemy, but am I the only one weary of the Meredith-Dr. “McDreamy” storyline? Or of the camera following Meredith 75% of the time? I’d love to see Grey’s Anatomy shift the spotlight to those characters lurking in the shadows, the ones I desperately want to know more about.
