Review: Take A Trip Down Candy Cane Lane with New Girl “The 23rd”
The funny just isn’t funny enough and I wish there were more silly office party antics. Now the baby shower in last week’s “Bad in Bed” was hilarious. We need more of that.

Boss – Season 1, Episode 8 – “Choose” – “Choices, Retribution, a Win and Blood.”
The season finale of Boss is appropriately called “Choose” because by the time a primary election winner is declared, lines are drawn via tough and personal choices; loyalty is demanded and only a few remain standing. Will Mayor Kane (Kelsey Grammer) retain his power hold over Chicago and if he does, what price will he have to pay?

Book Review: Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
As it sits, I probably wouldn’t recommend Hush, Hush to anyone who takes everything they read literally. It’s good for entertaining anyone above the age of 18, but skirts the line of ‘What Not to Do When Writing a Novel.’ Take that as you will.

Aluminum Monster, Ronny the Rat, Dirt Grub and a Golden God. Review: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia – “High School Reunion” #sunnyfx
It’s that time of life again—you know, when you attend your high school reunion in the hopes no one will remember the stupid things you used to do and say? Well, that’s what the Gang hopes, anyway. Frank’s (Danny DeVito) going because he just wants to tag along, as usual; Dee (Kaitlin Olson) wants to show off her back sans the brace she used to wear; Dennis (Glenn Howerton) can’t wait to see the “minions” who treated him like a “golden God;” Mac (Rob McElhenney) wants to show everyone he’s an adult now instead of the class clown/drug dealer he used to be; and Charlie…well, Charlie (Charlie Day) really hasn’t changed much since high school.

Review: American Horror Story “Smoldering Children” (Dead is better? Enduring is such sweet sorrow) #ahsfx
Wow! Wow! Wow! I did not see this turn of events coming…well, at least not in this particular way. Tate seems truly in love with Violet; he’s willing to go to great lengths to protect her even if it means hurting her father Ben (Dylan McDermott. “Smoldering Children” also introduces us to the ghosts of Larry’s (Denis O’Hare) wife and children who are literally still smoldering with fiery embers. The special effects are nothing short of brilliant.

Review: Sons of Anarchy – “To Be, Part 2” – Do the Bad Guys Always Get Their Way?
Sons of Anarchy fans have been riding a powerful roller coaster since September. Season 4 has been intense with unexpected flips and turns but does the finale please the high expectations of viewers? Will the ghost of John Teller continue to haunt those who did him wrong? And does anyone really believe Jax is ever leaving Charming?

Review: Jess is Searching for Some Syrups in New Girl “Bad in Bed”
“Bad in Bed” is funny in its own right, but didn’t get me like last week’s “Bells.” I was happy to see Long back for another go round and wonder if he’ll become a permanent fixture as he and Jess move to the next level in their relationship.

News: New Medical Drama “Chelsea General” Coming from TNT
You won’t believe who is behind TNT’s new medical drama Chelsea General — CNN chief medical correspondent and practicing neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta! Well, he along with award-winning producer David E. Kelley of Ally McBeal and Chicago Hope fame. If that’s not a winning combination, I don’t know what is. Gupta’s upcoming novel “Monday Mornings,” to be published in March 2012, is the basis for the new show, with Kelley penning the pilot script.

Review: #Haven Christmas Episode “Silent Night” (Christmas in July? Audrey must find out the source of the trouble before Haven vanishes)
It’s a bright, sunny day in July – a perfect time to deck the halls and decorate the Christmas tree…right? It seems everyone, except Audrey (Emily Rose) believes its Christmas Eve, but if you’re a fan of the show, you know Audrey isn’t affected by the “troubles” that afflict most of the town and its citizens.

Advance Review: #Warehouse13 Christmas Episode “The Greatest Gift” (It’s a not-so wonderful life for Pete)
I really love Warehouse 13! The show is quirky, creative, a little cheesy, and definitely funny. But what fascinates me the most are the intriguing artifacts stored within the warehouse. Using iconic and historical people and iconic characters, whether it’s Van Doren Stern’s brush sweeping Pete out of existence or Rudolph’s nose guiding Santa’s sleigh into chaos, the way the writers incorporate various objects into the storylines is quite inventive.

The quaint town of geniuses is transformed into animated versions of themselves. Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) and Allison Blake (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) are secretly planning the perfect holiday surprise for their kids. But a mysterious kaleidoscopic wave of color crashes over Eureka, leaving the entire town and its inhabitants animated. “Do You See What I See” is absolutely fun and will be a new holiday classic! It’s got heart, action, laughs, and Sninjas!!

Review: Hung “The Whole Beefalo” The Whole Letdown (In My Opinion)
My first thought as the opening credits roll is, “I can’t believe we’re at the end of another great season of one of my favorite dramedies.” That said, I’m let down by this finale and want a redo. “The Whole Beefalo” is not the way to end the season.

Review: Pan Am – Season 1, Episode 8, “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” – ”An Ice Princess, a Farm and an Untimely Fire”
After a three- week hiatus, Pan Am is no longer grounded. It wisely returns to the storylines that appeal most to the fans of the show: heavy in retro glamour, espionage and romance. The Cameron sisters are recruited to assist in two different missions; Maggie (Christina Ricci) pushes for nuclear race policy change while both Dean (Mike Vogel) and Colette (Karine Vanasse) suspiciously claim to be ill.

A Fallen Diplomat, a Forgiving Brody and an Explosion. Review: Homeland – “Representative Brody”
While the title “Representative Brody” may lead you to believe this episode is all about Nick Brody (Damian Lewis), nothing could be further from the truth. It’s about both Carrie (Claire Danes) and Brody, but Danes carries the episode beautifully.

What Makes SOA’s Lincoln Potter Tick – An Interview with Ray McKinnon
Ray McKinnon has captivated the attention and curiosity of Sons of Anarchy fans during Season 4 with his fascinating portrayal of Asst. United States District Attorney Lincoln Potter. I recently had the opportunity to participate in an FX media call to interview McKinnon and in spite of a long resume consisting of a great variety of roles in television and film; he admitted he’s never played anyone like Lincoln Potter before.

Book Review: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is by far the most fascinating, eerie and intriguing book I think I’ve ever read. It not only grips you from the first page but doesn’t let go until after you’ve finished reading.
