The Simpsons have been in a critical tailspin for quite some time now. The season premiere of the 23rd season doesn't change much. "The Falcon and the D'Ohman" finds 24 action star Kiefer Sutherland guest starring yet again. More

The Simpsons: The Complete Thirteenth Season DVD/Blu-ray

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment,

Sep 30, 2010

Most longtime fans of The Simpsons believe the show is past its prime after being on the air for 22 seasons. Haziness comes when the topic of "when" the decline started comes up. All things considered, season 13 is a tipping point that can't be ignored. More

Don’t let the fact that Running Wilde is created by Arrested Development’s creator or the fact that is stars Keri Russell (Felicity) and Will Arnett (Arrested Development30 Rock) lure you into watching this disposable show.  More

FOX, Premiere: Sunday 8/7c; Wednesdays 9/8c,

Jan 17, 2010

The eyebrows of comic book geeks everywhere no doubt raised with the prospect of Fox adapting DC's Human Target series into a high-octane, 24-esque thriller. I was certainly one of the fans of the fun comic book series and graphic novel that centered on Christopher Chance impersonating his clients, while investigating who wants to bump them off. Fox's version is a wholly different proposition. More
