TOP CHEF D.C.: Season Premiere

Summertime is usually associated with beach getaways and relaxation. Not for me. In my house, the sunny season is all about Padma Lakshmi and gourmet recipes. That’s right, Top Chef is back for Season 7! This year’s competition is set in Washington D.C., so the contestants will have ample opportunities to have their food criticized […]

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: Stay

First crushes are sweet. They write silly notes in your yearbook about how corny your jokes are, not realizing it took three days for you to work up the courage to ask for their penmanship. First kisses are important for answering trivia questions down the road. Twelve years old, just before the lunch bell rang, […]

DROP DEAD DIVA: Back from the Dead

Drop Dead Diva fans, you rock the house! I loved all your comments last week, and I am glad to know the show has a home here on the site. The episode was kind of serious, didn’t you think? Once again, there were two cases running parallel throughout the hour. Jane represented a woman who […]

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: The Son

I have played a variety of roles in my life. Before I was ever a student, co-worker, or friend, I was a son. Born into a crowded house with two older siblings, I was fortunate to enjoy the spoils of a childhood filled with love and affection. My parents taught us to value hard work, […]

DROP DEAD DIVA Season Premiere: Would I Lie to You

Hey, hey, hey Drop Dead Diva fans! So glad we have a chance to officially talk about this show here on GMMR! How did you like the season two premiere? I thought it was a pretty good starting off point for what looks like a good summer. Let’s get right to talking about it… First […]

DROP DEAD DIVA: Get Caught Up for Season Two

The transition into summer TV mode can be tough. With our regular season finales behind us, who has the time and energy to get caught up on new characters and existing plots? Over the past three years, only Army Wives has cracked my DVR during beach season. The creative folks behind Lifetime’s Drop Dead Diva […]

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: A Sort of Homecoming

Who is on your team? If you had to put together a starting lineup of friends, who would make the cut? It is becoming difficult to identify our inner circles, especially when social networks now extend far beyond our hometowns. I relish in the temporary satisfaction of having a virtual friend “like” my Facebook status […]

What Happened on the 24 Series Finale?

A special thanks to Phil for covering 24 for GMMR for the past two seasons.  I can’t imagine how many dead bodies you’ve witnessed as a result, but I hop you’re not scarred for life. Thanks for everything….Kath So, this is the end. The last seconds of “24” just flickered across my screen. The clock […]

PARENTHOOD: Team Braverman

I am the youngest of three kids. Though I would not describe the bond amongst my siblings as “Braverman-like,” the time we spend together is always eventful. That’s the part about family that serves both as a blessing and a curse. When the habit of filtering yourself disappears, the brutal truth slips out. Without the […]

BONES Season Finale: The Beginning in the End

Before I turn things over to Seels, I just wanted to take a moment to thank her for her wonderful coverage of BONES on behalf of GiveMeMyRemote.com.  Every week her recaps facilitate fantastic conversations with the BONES community here on GMMR.  At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about for me.  So […]

GREY’S ANATOMY Season Finale: WOW…Just WOW!

This post probably counts as cheating against the other medical drama in my life. I hope the team at Princeton Plainsboro understands. If anyone thinks TV producers are any less competitive than elite athletes or politicians, I offer this theory. ABC has been promoting this Sunday’s LOST sendoff as the biggest of their season finales. […]

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS: After the Fall

This episode began under the most dire of circumstances. Coach Eric Taylor had thrown in the towel, ending East Dillon’s first game of the season via forfeit. Principal Tami Taylor was caught squarely between an angry mob of parents and the arrogant boosters running her athletic department. Tim Riggins arrived home seeking the comforts of […]

HOUSE Season Finale: Help Me

Earlier today, I fessed up to having a sneak peek at House’s season finale. Now seems like an appropriate time to reveal another secret. The screener provided to TV critics did NOT include the final scene of the show. My preview faded to black as House decided what to do with his secret stash of […]

HOUSE Season Finale Preview…Are you Ready?

I have a confession. Due to the benevolence of Fox’s publicity department, I received a sneak preview of tonight’s HOUSE season finale. Since GMMR has always been a spoiler-free zone, I want to be very sensitive to discussing specific events or themes in the episode. Before I ask whether you want to take the blue […]

SMALLVILLE Season Finale: Salvation

Thanks for Sarah for doing such a fantastic job covering SMALLVILLE this season. Much appreciated! Hey Smallville fans! What an ending! I wasn’t thrilled about how things with Clark went down but at least Zod is out of the way which gives us a clean slate for next season. Can you believe with all the […]
