The Walking Dead fires up its third season with an action-packed, zombie-killing premiere. With all the whining about how slow and boring most of last season was, did the premiere shut down those naysayers, giving us a glimpse into how the third season will shape up?

For two episodes now, I’ve had a nagging concern in the back of my head that Revenge was suffering from the dreaded sophomore slump. Storylines weren’t really connecting and Emily (Emily VanCamp) seemed unfocused. Things simply weren’t the same as the deliriously awesome first season.
And then there’s the scene in ‘Confidence’ that absolutely kills it. Suddenly I feel like an a*s for ever doubting my favourite night-time soap. Way to make me eat crow, Revenge

30 Rock’s forward momentum towards the series finale isn’t letting up. Jack’s (Alec Baldwin) epic NBC tanking continues, Liz (Tina Fey) finally takes a serious step towards having her baby with Criss (James Marsden), and Jenna’s (Jane Krakowski) recent single “Balls” burns up the charts makes her $90. So maybe not all of the storylines work, but since the episode gifts us with a Ghost remake involving a CD tower at Staples, this episode counts as a success.

When Friday Night Lights ended (and broke my heart), like many others, I vowed that I would follow Connie Britton anywhere. Fortunately for me, she has landed on a show that features one of my favourite things: country music. For this, I will be a dedicated fan and loyal watcher. But as I watched tonight’s premiere, I was also pleasantly surprised by all the familiar faces I saw.
