On Wednesday we went to the premiere of HBO's new series, "Boardwalk Empire" at the Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan. We spoke with plenty of people associated with the show as well as several who have worked with HBO in the past ("True Blood", "Entourage", "The Sopranos", "John Adams"). "Boardwalk Empire" does deliver on the hype - it's beautifully shot on amazing sets with great performances set to exceptional writing. more ›

The much-anticipated (and simultaneously dreaded) season finale of "True Blood" aired last night - what did you think? There were some excellent twists and many questions were raised for next season. These questions were raised a little too conveniently in our estimation, telegraphed from a million miles away, which left the episode a little less than gripping. Still it was fun and we can't believe we have to wait until next summer for more swampy vampire shenanigans. more ›

Some folks, including The Hollywood Reporter, are of the opinion that last week's appellate court ruling about obscenity on TV will unleash a floodgate of nudity, sex, and bad language. THR cites several program episodes that have either occurred or will premiere this fall, are they trying to say that Seth MacFarlane was clairvoyant by having Stan from "American Dad" give a handjob to a racehorse back in January? more ›

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 ›
