The film and comedy worlds lost one of the greats yesterday. Robin Williams passed away at the age of 63 of an apparent suicide. When I heard that, my first reaction was shock. The news hit me harder than any celebrity death in a long time. Not only was Robin Williams an extremely talented comedian http://alextvwatch.blogspot.com/2014/08/robin-williams-one-of-greats.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Alex)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426438770917136363.post-3100882337267824032Wed, 16 May 2012 21:42:00 +00002012-05-16T17:42:05.967-04:00CBSNewsUpfronts 2012 Upfront Week 2012 continues with CBS's announcement of their 2012-2013 schedule.

(I should have a few more posts before the end of the year, but this will be my last one on 2011 as a whole.) At the end of the year, critics like to look back at the television of the past year. One of the most popular way of doing this is by making a top ten list. I decided to join in the fun, making my list of ten series.

This is the last time I will be writing such a post. I'm back, this time I mean it. October happened to be a month where my time for writing was slim.

Of all the comedy pilots that I have seen this year, this one jumps out to me as knowing exactly what the show is. This is the Zooey Deschanel show.

Unfortunately, that didn't give me enough time to write a full review of the episode before the episode aired. So, all I will say is that this was absolutely hysterical.

Suits is a show that has two sides to it. On one hand, there's a fun little show that has interesting characters and procedural cases that get better with each week. On the other, it's a show that could become stagnant in the growth of its characters and its story arc.
