With Live+DVR3 and regular ratings in, Revolution is doing exceedingly well for struggling NBC. Creatively the show remains stagnant despite some minor gains.

Well, well, well. Sunday night is easily the craziest night for high quality television, but the only show I’ve been truly waiting for with bated breath is Showtime’s Homeland. Last year I named it the best show in the first annual Bitch Awards (TVAngie named it second best) and last week the show took home the Emmy for Best Drama. So clearly the show’s sophomore season would never be able to live up to the hype, right?
Wrong.

After a long, hot summer, it’s good to return to the Hamptons, isn’t it? The second season of ABC’s not-so-guilty pleasure takes us back to the beach, the b*tching and the drama as Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) continues her mission of REVENGE! Oh it feels good to write that again.

After a maddeningly inconsistent first season, Once Upon A Time – a ratings surprise for ABC – returns for its second season after delivering a mostly satisfying season finale. Can the second season maintain the consistency?

By all accounts, Pitch Perfect has no right to succeed as well as it does: it’s a film about an a cappella singing competition starring an Oscar nominee (Anna Kendrick for Up In The Air) and features a recurring projectile vomiting gag. So why was the film so much d*mn fun?!

It’s been nearly a month since Grimm aired its last new episode (Sept 4 to be exact) so the big question on my mind going into the show’s fifth episode is…what is this about again? In all seriousness, it seems likely that NBC’s attempt at generating some momentum by debuting the show’s second season back in August is all but doomed to fail now. You don’t bench a show for four weeks and then expect casual viewers to notice it’s back on the schedule on Friday evenings *smacks forehead*

Fringe kicked off its final season jumping right back into the year 2036. With only 13 episodes left before the end of the series, did the fifth season premiere give us the confidence that a satisfying end is near?
