The Hollywood Reporter got a first look at ABC's "No Ordinary Family" starring Julie Benz and Michael Chiklis (see embed at the end of this post). THR didn't exactly give the show flying colors but we'll reserve judgement until we get the pilot plus a few episodes. What did catch our eye is their comment about the "breakneck pacing" and we agree - why the heck are TV shows getting paced at 200 mph? A point of the medium is that plot and characters have time to develop, it's not something that needs to be resolved in 90 minutes like a movie. more ›

We're in the midst of a pretty dead week TV-wise and we're about to start a pretty dead month TV-wise. There is virtually no new programming this week and late night is in rerun mode. We guess this is why warm weather was invented. If you have some suggestions for programs to watch this week, please let us know. | SNL alum, Chris Kattan is getting his first series as a regular: the WB's "The Middle" which will air this Fall. more ›

As we said a couple weeks ago, we went to France for a couple weeks where we didn't watch much French TV because, well, there really wasn't anything worth watching other than the French Open and Manchester United vs. Barcelona. Now our uneducated opinion has supporting proof: in 2008 only 13 of the top 100 scripted TV shows in France were actually French. American-produced TV programs took the biggest slice at 57. Who says we don't export anything? more ›

If you liked "The Colber(t) Repor(t)" reporting from Iraq last week, you will probably enjoy Jason Jones of "The Daily Show" reporting from Iran Monday through Thursday next week.
