In fact, it was the biggest drama series premiere of the season, seen by 14.3 million viewers and netting a 5.2 rating among adults 18-49. What does all that mean? To me, it says that even without the <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/10/28/remember-the-v-skywriting-stunt-forget-it/">skywriting promotion that was canned, ABC marketing</a> had raised awareness and drew the curious, the sci-fi fans, the nostalgic and a few more watchers for the launch. <br /> <br /> Despite the big number, there's a good chance that <em>V</em> will sink in future outings because viewers like me were not hooked. I wanted to fall in like/love, but it didn't happen. Here's five reasons why:<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/five-reasons-v-didnt-work-for-me/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Five reasons V didn't work for me</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/lists/" rel="tag">TV Squad Lists</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/v/" rel="tag">V</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/five-reasons-v-didnt-work-for-me/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227890/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/five-reasons-v-didnt-work-for-me/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/-5St-7j2pp3zkSVnmkYeYZUoGjU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/-5St-7j2pp3zkSVnmkYeYZUoGjU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/-5St-7j2pp3zkSVnmkYeYZUoGjU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/-5St-7j2pp3zkSVnmkYeYZUoGjU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=0OZ86IS0KHI:3_uytiakXis:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=0OZ86IS0KHI:3_uytiakXis:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=0OZ86IS0KHI:3_uytiakXis:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=0OZ86IS0KHI:3_uytiakXis:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/0OZ86IS0KHI" height="1" width="1"/>ABCElizabeth MitchellElizabethMitchellfast startFastStartFBIIndependence DayIndependenceDaylizardsLostminiseriesNBCratingsVAllison WaldmanSun, 08 Nov 2009 14:02:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/five-reasons-v-didnt-work-for-me/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/u2GOVrXwAK0/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/#comments<img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="174" border="0" align="right" alt="susan_boyle_singing" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/susan-boyle-singing-in-britains-got-talent-final-2.jpg" />Everybody's favorite singing newcomer, England's <a href="http://www.tvguide.com/News/Susan-Boyle-Appear-1011743.aspx">Susan Boyle, is going to appear on <em>Dancing With the Stars</em></a> this week. She will not be doing the samba or the quick step. Susan will be singing, promoting her upcoming CD,<em> I Dreamed A Dream</em>, in stores on November 24. <br /> <br /> Luckily for Susan, Sharon Osbourne will not be on the show. Or maybe it's lucky for Sharon because after the horrible things she said about SB, Susan would probably deck her if she had the chance. Last week, while on Sirius radio, Sharon was compelled to share her opinion of Susan's sudden success.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/susan-boyle-is-going-to-dancing-with-the-stars/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Susan Boyle is going to Dancing with the Stars</em></a></p><p style="clear: both;

Then, multiply that by a factor of 10. That's the ongoing craze known as the BBC's immortal <em>EastEnders</em>. Premiering in 1985, the working-class melodrama remains one of the U.K.'s highest-rated series.<br /> <br /> Now, <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/eastenders/"><em>EastEnders</em></a> is set to kick off its own web spinoff series next year. According to a Beeb press release, the online BBC Vision Multiplatform commissioned <em>EastEnders: E20</em> to go live in January, 2010.<br /> <br /> In addition to taking advantage of TV's online evolution, the web series will help to celebrated the <em>EastEnders</em> 25th anniversary.<br /> <br /> Now, the question is if anyone in Hollywood can catch on to moves like these and adapt more successful U.S. shows into big name web series. Shows like <em>24</em> tried brief web dalliances, but nothing this ambitious has yet to take flight from American networks.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/bbcs-legendary-eastenders-soap-goes-online/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>BBC's legendary EastEnders soap goes online</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/drama/" rel="tag">Other Drama Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/british-tv/" rel="tag">British TV</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/bbcs-legendary-eastenders-soap-goes-online/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227881/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/bbcs-legendary-eastenders-soap-goes-online/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/E1D8dH0UzVJytwaUKMRGvYHFMyQ/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/E1D8dH0UzVJytwaUKMRGvYHFMyQ/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/E1D8dH0UzVJytwaUKMRGvYHFMyQ/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/E1D8dH0UzVJytwaUKMRGvYHFMyQ/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=tjnPd3BFFqE:bkKx_FbJYMA:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=tjnPd3BFFqE:bkKx_FbJYMA:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=tjnPd3BFFqE:bkKx_FbJYMA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=tjnPd3BFFqE:bkKx_FbJYMA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/tjnPd3BFFqE" height="1" width="1"/>bbcbbc americaBbcAmericaeastendersonlineonline videoOnlineVideosoapsoap operasoap operasSoapOperaSoapOperasweb seriesWebSeriesJohn Scott LewinskiSun, 08 Nov 2009 10:30:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/bbcs-legendary-eastenders-soap-goes-online/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/Hvxzc5F-zXE/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/review-saturday-night-live-taylor-swift/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/review-saturday-night-live-taylor-swift/#comments<img hspace="4" height="284" border="0" width="425" vspace="4" align="bottom" alt="taylor swift snl" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/taylor_swift_snl.jpg" /><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">(S35E05) </span>I had to talk myself through being allowed to criticize Taylor Swift. Ever since Kanye West VMA outburst turned everyone in America into Swift's over-protective mom, she's been shown even more as an innocent country-inspired sweetheart. Every time she messed up in this episode, I felt the need to hold back any not-super-great remarks because, well, she's a teeny-bopper! Teeny-boppers are just kids goofin' around! <br /> <br /> And then I have to pause and remind myself that she's almost 20-years-old, around the same age as Shia LaBeouf and Ellen Page when they first hosted and Abby Elliiott when she initially joined the featured players. Screw it, there's no need to hold back. Swift is a musician, so we can't expect her acting skills to be super-good, but the fact I keep thinking she's only 14 shouldn't affect anything else.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/review-saturday-night-live-taylor-swift/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Saturday Night Live - Taylor Swift</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/saturday-night-live/" rel="tag">Saturday Night Live</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/review-saturday-night-live-taylor-swift/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227886/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/review-saturday-night-live-taylor-swift/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/kYUboxR3wlC1O31JCZZoikRLANE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/kYUboxR3wlC1O31JCZZoikRLANE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/kYUboxR3wlC1O31JCZZoikRLANE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/kYUboxR3wlC1O31JCZZoikRLANE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=Hvxzc5F-zXE:IzhdrQXhT0w:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=Hvxzc5F-zXE:IzhdrQXhT0w:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=Hvxzc5F-zXE:IzhdrQXhT0w:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=Hvxzc5F-zXE:IzhdrQXhT0w:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/Hvxzc5F-zXE" height="1" width="1"/>amy poehlerAmyPoehlerandy sambergAndySambergbill haderBillHaderbobby moynihanBobbyMoynihanfirelightfred armisenFredArmisenjason sudeikisJasonSudeikisjenny slateJennySlatekenan thompsonKenanThompsonkristen wiigKristenWiignasim pedradNasimPedradnew moonNewMoonsaturday night liveSaturdayNightLiveseth meyersSethMeyerssnltaylor lautnertaylor swiftTaylorLautnerTaylorSwifttwilightwill forteWillForteAnnie WuSun, 08 Nov 2009 09:40:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/review-saturday-night-live-taylor-swift/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/Bw8IVOP_mqc/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/whats-hot-on-slashcontrol-the-series-premiere-of-v/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/whats-hot-on-slashcontrol-the-series-premiere-of-v/#commentsDid you miss the series premiere of <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/v/"><em>V</em></a> last week? If so, no need to despair, because it's on <a href="http://www.slashcontrol.com">SlashControl</a> and I've embedded it below. The show <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/04/the-v-stands-for-very-high-ratings/">scored good ratings</a>, and Jason had <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/04/the-v-stands-for-very-high-ratings/">great things to say</a> about the premiere, noting some similarities to <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/battlestar-galactica/"><em>Battlestar Galactica</em></a>. He was also glad to see how the writers updated the storyline from the classic 1980s miniseries. <br /> <br /> "I wasn't sure how they could modify the storylines from the series I remembered to accurately find parallels to our war on terrorism, and the terrorist movements themselves, but they did," writes Jason. "And they did it all while staying true to the struggles and fears that's kept the original series fresh in our minds for 26 years now." <br /> <br /> Have the Visitors arrived on Earth with a message of peace? Time will tell, but not before they fully and irretrievably embed themselves into our society. <br /> <br /> <object width="450" height="296"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/aol/http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eslashcontrol%2Ecom%2Ffree%2Dtv%2Dshows%2Fv%2F1798940155%2Dpilot/embed/PVGr7NzW82reKuAw50NO0Q"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/aol/http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eslashcontrol%2Ecom%2Ffree%2Dtv%2Dshows%2Fv%2F1798940155%2Dpilot/embed/PVGr7NzW82reKuAw50NO0Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="296" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/video/" rel="tag">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/v/" rel="tag">V</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/whats-hot-on-slashcontrol-the-series-premiere-of-v/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227849/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/whats-hot-on-slashcontrol-the-series-premiere-of-v/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/C2IN1--rT_Y-A72_NoEGTykGRts/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/C2IN1--rT_Y-A72_NoEGTykGRts/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/C2IN1--rT_Y-A72_NoEGTykGRts/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/C2IN1--rT_Y-A72_NoEGTykGRts/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=Bw8IVOP_mqc:NTZd-IDl3MA:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=Bw8IVOP_mqc:NTZd-IDl3MA:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=Bw8IVOP_mqc:NTZd-IDl3MA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=Bw8IVOP_mqc:NTZd-IDl3MA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/Bw8IVOP_mqc" height="1" width="1"/>abcbattlestar galacticaelizabeth mitchellscott wolfslashcontrolVJane BoursawSun, 08 Nov 2009 09:02:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/whats-hot-on-slashcontrol-the-series-premiere-of-v/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/D2lNDM25J5w/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/tv-genre-series-live-on-in-itunes-thanks-to-comixology/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/tv-genre-series-live-on-in-itunes-thanks-to-comixology/#comments<img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="322" border="0" align="right" alt="MIddleman and other TV properties live on via iTunes." src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/middle.jpg" />Apple's iPhone and iPod are emerging as the preferred delivery device for online comic books.

You can use the touch screen to flip the pages back and forth.<br /> <br /> An online comics website, <a href="http://www.comixology.com/">Comixology</a>, is a central point for scores of online comics available via iTunes' App Store, including several titles based on popular genre shows of the recent and not-so-recent past.<br /> <br /> You'll find that 80's anime after school favorite, <em>Voltron</em> living here. Marvel's animation-influenced <em>X-Men</em> flourishes in multiple versions. <em>The Middleman</em>, a now-canceled creative comic-book inspired children's live action show, continues in iPhone form. In fact, <em>The Middleman</em> stories on Comixology were written to continue the TV show's storyline.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/tv-genre-series-live-on-in-itunes-thanks-to-comixology/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>TV genre series live on in iTunes thanks to Comixology</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/science-fiction/" rel="tag">Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/web/" rel="tag">Web</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/software/" rel="tag">Software</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/comic-con/" rel="tag">Comic-Con</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/tv-genre-series-live-on-in-itunes-thanks-to-comixology/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227877/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/tv-genre-series-live-on-in-itunes-thanks-to-comixology/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/rdFZITnNkk9Q_BThZhIQmQ01iVE/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/rdFZITnNkk9Q_BThZhIQmQ01iVE/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/rdFZITnNkk9Q_BThZhIQmQ01iVE/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/rdFZITnNkk9Q_BThZhIQmQ01iVE/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=D2lNDM25J5w:QcGCmcf736o:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=D2lNDM25J5w:QcGCmcf736o:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=D2lNDM25J5w:QcGCmcf736o:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=D2lNDM25J5w:QcGCmcf736o:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/D2lNDM25J5w" height="1" width="1"/>comic bookcomic booksComic-conComicBookComicBooksComicConcomicsComixologymiddlemanMiddleMenvoltronx-menX-Men Origins WolverineX-menOriginsWolverineJohn Scott LewinskiSun, 08 Nov 2009 08:21:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/08/tv-genre-series-live-on-in-itunes-thanks-to-comixology/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/yRVCzo4X1k4/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/the-jackson-family-reality-show-debuts-in-december/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/the-jackson-family-reality-show-debuts-in-december/#comments<img hspace="4" height="174" border="0" width="250" vspace="4" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/02-the-jackson-5-101807.jpg" alt="jacksons_4" />Reportedly, before <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/06/25/busy-night-for-network-news-michael-jackson-tribute-to-air-with/">Michael Jackson</a> died suddenly in June, his brothers - and other family members - were putting together a reality show for A&amp;E. After all, celebrity reality shows have a certain appeal, especially train wrecks like <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/Being+Bobby+Brown/"><em>Being Bobby Brown</em></a> or <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/08/05/well-miss-you-paula-abdul/"><em>Hey, Paula</em></a>. Not that the Jacksons were thinking that way. I'm sure they envision something classy and edifying.<br /> <br /> Since Michael's death, the interest in this miniseries has escalated, much like the interest in all things Jackson. Will the brothers talk about Michael? How much? Will Michael's children be included in the show? All that and more will be answered when <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i35ed869fbd929ccd41ae1b7a55fedbc0"><em>The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty</em> debuts on A&amp;E December 13</a>, at 9 p.m. The plan is for two hour-long episodes to kick off the series.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/the-jackson-family-reality-show-debuts-in-december/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>The Jackson Family reality show debuts in December</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebreality/" rel="tag">Celebreality</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/the-jackson-family-reality-show-debuts-in-december/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227583/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/the-jackson-family-reality-show-debuts-in-december/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/D7WzqSOsObUufDATKAKKfX5Omu0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/D7WzqSOsObUufDATKAKKfX5Omu0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/D7WzqSOsObUufDATKAKKfX5Omu0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/D7WzqSOsObUufDATKAKKfX5Omu0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=yRVCzo4X1k4:CX5lNU3opXc:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=yRVCzo4X1k4:CX5lNU3opXc:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=yRVCzo4X1k4:CX5lNU3opXc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=yRVCzo4X1k4:CX5lNU3opXc:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/yRVCzo4X1k4" height="1" width="1"/>AEBeing Bobby BrownBeingBobbyBrowncelebrity realityCelebrityRealityHey PaulaHeyPaulajackson family reality showMichael JacksonMichaelJacksonminiseriesrealityThe Jackson FamilyThe Jackson FiveTheJacksonFamilyTheJacksonFiveAllison WaldmanSat, 07 Nov 2009 17:02:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/the-jackson-family-reality-show-debuts-in-december/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/jKze87blUbY/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/how-the-young-and-the-restless-got-eric-braeden-back/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/how-the-young-and-the-restless-got-eric-braeden-back/#comments<img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="318" border="0" align="top" alt="nikki_victor_the_young_and_the_restless" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/alg_restless.jpg" /><br /> Sometimes it's true that all's well that ends well.

In the case of <em>The Young and the Restless</em> and actor <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/Eric+Braeden/">Eric Braeden</a>, there was a good deal of acrimony on both sides.

What else do all three of these franchises share? There's just as much hard paranormal evidence in the last two as appears in the first.<br /> <br /> Please don't misunderstand me -- since I've gone off on this topic before. I'm not saying ghosts don't exist. I'm not saying there's no afterlife. I don't begrudge any scientific investigation into parapsychology or realms described as paranormal. I'd just like any of the endless march of "ghost-based" shows to dig up one scintilla of proof that they found something and, therefore, deserve to be on TV every week.<br /> <br /> The latest entry is Syfy's <a href="http://www.syfy.com/gha/"><em>Ghost Hunter's Academy</em></a> -- sort of <em>Most Haunted</em> meets <em>The Rookies</em> from the 70s.

This might be one of the weakest <em>Monk</em>s of all time. The funniest thing was the title, which was where the inspiration began and -- sadly -- ended. Nothing worked. Monk and children? No. Monk in the woods? No. Monk and the grizzly bear? Do you even have to wonder?

Telford came aboard to annoy everyone again, and Rush hovered on the fringe, skulking and whining about the military's plan of action. Again. <br /> <br /> Still, I really enjoyed how everything played out this week. Finally Eli, aka the <em>Star Wars</em>-referencing funny guy, was given more to do than make jokes and pine for Chloe. David Blue really sold the scenes with Eli talking to his mother. I sensed a real longing from Eli to want to take care of his mom and prove himself to her out of love and respect. It was a good idea to have him pose as a co-worker. That way, we got to see what he really thinks about himself, his mother, and his current situation.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-stargate-universe-earth/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Stargate Universe - Earth</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/stargate/" rel="tag">Stargate</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-stargate-universe-earth/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227308/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-stargate-universe-earth/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/4rXiELpoED3xiw3rFD4hchlbCw8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/4rXiELpoED3xiw3rFD4hchlbCw8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/4rXiELpoED3xiw3rFD4hchlbCw8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/4rXiELpoED3xiw3rFD4hchlbCw8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=5F6iA-XuQsE:4G5RYLrnpW8:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=5F6iA-XuQsE:4G5RYLrnpW8:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=5F6iA-XuQsE:4G5RYLrnpW8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=5F6iA-XuQsE:4G5RYLrnpW8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/5F6iA-XuQsE" height="1" width="1"/>David BlueDavidBlueRobert CarlyleRobertCarlylesci-fistargateStargate UniverseStargateUniversesyfyMike MoodySat, 07 Nov 2009 12:30:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-stargate-universe-earth/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/7GLaMd5qFPs/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-white-collar-book-of-hours/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-white-collar-book-of-hours/#comments<img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="297" border="0" align="top" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/whitecollarbookhours.jpg" alt="White Collar" /><br /> <em>(S01E03) "I like my miracles with more smiting and lightning." - Burke</em><br /> <br /> Would the FBI really help a bad guy get a church Bible back? Sure, it turned out to be a very<em> important</em> Bible, but the way that Barelli just comes into the FBI and asks for their help in getting the book back and the chief takes him seriously from the get-go didn't ring true to me. Sure, Burke told him to just go to the local police, but then the chief pulls him aside and says that he doesn't need the Archdiocese breathing down his neck about it.

Viewers are seeing more dead Clonetroopers, more crashed vehicles and more beloved characters in deadly jeopardy.<br /> <br /> Its ratings continue to cruise in hyperspace (especially for males), but I wonder if the darker tones of season two could drive younger kids and their parents away from the show.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/new-clone-wars-episodes-stunning-but-less-kid-friendly/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>New Clone Wars episodes stunning, but less kid friendly</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/science-fiction/" rel="tag">Other Sci-Fi/Supernatural Shows</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/animation/" rel="tag">Animation</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/new-clone-wars-episodes-stunning-but-less-kid-friendly/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19224106/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/new-clone-wars-episodes-stunning-but-less-kid-friendly/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/v5DhzbtVpdP40zyNB224aI5-AbM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/v5DhzbtVpdP40zyNB224aI5-AbM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/v5DhzbtVpdP40zyNB224aI5-AbM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/v5DhzbtVpdP40zyNB224aI5-AbM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=qcjJ9bZ9z24:A46n_xsWrUo:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=qcjJ9bZ9z24:A46n_xsWrUo:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=qcjJ9bZ9z24:A46n_xsWrUo:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=qcjJ9bZ9z24:A46n_xsWrUo:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/qcjJ9bZ9z24" height="1" width="1"/>actionadventureanimationcartooncartoon networkCartoonNetworkchildchildrenkidslucasfilmStar WarsStarWarsJohn Scott LewinskiSat, 07 Nov 2009 10:00:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/new-clone-wars-episodes-stunning-but-less-kid-friendly/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/3EbSUUVDvmw/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/benny-hill-stamps-too-risque-for-the-royal-mail/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/benny-hill-stamps-too-risque-for-the-royal-mail/#comments<img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="215" border="0" align="right" alt="The Benny Hill Show" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/bennyhill.jpg" />The Royal Mail in the U.K. have decided against producing a series of stamps <a href="http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/tvbizwire/2009/11/benny-hill-stamp-rejected-roya.php">based on <em>The Benny Hill Show</em></a> which will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the British channel ITV. The subject matter of the show was deemed to be too politically incorrect for the purposes of putting on a stamp.<br /> <br /> Anybody who watches the show nowadays would acknowledge that the show contained sketches that were blatantly sexist. Somehow I doubt ITV or the Royal Mail or anyone would put any of the racier scenes of the show on the stamp. It would just be Benny himself mugging for the camera, so to speak.<br /> <br /> For the Royal Mail, it likely boils down to this: when you have a program noted for women whose clothes fly off at any given moment and they're left running around in their underwear and that show is put on a stamp, the last thing you want to ask people to do is lick it.<p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/oped/" rel="tag">OpEd</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/celebrities/" rel="tag">Celebrities</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/benny-hill-stamps-too-risque-for-the-royal-mail/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227494/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/benny-hill-stamps-too-risque-for-the-royal-mail/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/o5H75Px7p_uiGrYEjZyHbTUYtkY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/o5H75Px7p_uiGrYEjZyHbTUYtkY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/o5H75Px7p_uiGrYEjZyHbTUYtkY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/o5H75Px7p_uiGrYEjZyHbTUYtkY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=3EbSUUVDvmw:Sd1t-xETqcs:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=3EbSUUVDvmw:Sd1t-xETqcs:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=3EbSUUVDvmw:Sd1t-xETqcs:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=3EbSUUVDvmw:Sd1t-xETqcs:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/3EbSUUVDvmw" height="1" width="1"/>Benny HillBennyHillITVRoyal MailRoyalMailstampsThe Benny Hill ShowTheBennyHillShowBrad TrechakSat, 07 Nov 2009 08:45:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/benny-hill-stamps-too-risque-for-the-royal-mail/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/T9oOt1WEnK0/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-sons-of-anarchy-fa-guan-recap/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-sons-of-anarchy-fa-guan-recap/#comments<img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="247" border="0" align="top" alt="Sons of Anarchy" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/sons_of_anarchy_fa_guan.jpg" /><br /> (S02E09) - <em>"I know the greater devil when I see it." - Deputy Chief Hale to Clay</em><br /> <br /> The great thing about a show like <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/sons-of-anarchy/"><em>Sons of Anarchy</em></a> is you never exactly know when you're watching its true boiling point. You might think the situation you're watching is the apex of the conflict, particularly the beef between Clay and Jax, but it always finds an interesting and surprising way of making it worse and makes you forget that it still has more episodes to go. <br /> <br /> That's the true sign of a good series. It sucks you in and erases any and all concept of time. Unlike other TV shows that you can just have in the background to break the silence of your lonely place, <em>SOA</em> demands your attention and gets it every time, at least for this season. You can't just leave it on and not not watch it (screw good grammar, if you can think of a better and more entertaining way to say it, be my guest). Anything that can stop and slow time, whether it's a TV show, a flying DeLorean or a hot tub deserves special merit in my book.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-sons-of-anarchy-fa-guan-recap/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Sons of Anarchy - Fa Guan</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/sons-of-anarchy/" rel="tag">Sons of Anarchy</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-sons-of-anarchy-fa-guan-recap/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19227431/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-sons-of-anarchy-fa-guan-recap/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/x5YCoo6D59b8T76BoJrsQI4hEfc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/x5YCoo6D59b8T76BoJrsQI4hEfc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/x5YCoo6D59b8T76BoJrsQI4hEfc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/x5YCoo6D59b8T76BoJrsQI4hEfc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=T9oOt1WEnK0:V5vNJ9cxnnE:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=T9oOt1WEnK0:V5vNJ9cxnnE:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=T9oOt1WEnK0:V5vNJ9cxnnE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=T9oOt1WEnK0:V5vNJ9cxnnE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/T9oOt1WEnK0" height="1" width="1"/>clay morrowClayMorrowfa guanFaGuanfxfx original seriesFxNetworkFxOriginalSeriesjax morrowJaxMorrowmitch pileggiMitchPileggiopieryan hurstRyanHurstshots of gratuitous man-assShotsOfGratuitousMan-assSons of Anarchysons of anarchy season 2SonsOfAnarchySonsOfAnarchySeason2Danny GallagherSat, 07 Nov 2009 03:52:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-sons-of-anarchy-fa-guan-recap/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/kRT8flyOXaY/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-smallville-kandor/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-smallville-kandor/#comments<em><img width="200" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="155" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/smallvillekandor.jpg" alt="Smallville" />(S09E07)</em> If <em><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/smallville/">Smallville</a> </em>continues to produce episodes of good quality like tonight's, I may have to take back some of the things I've been saying about it. Seriously.<br /> <br /> Tonight we got a lot of backstory and explanation about some of the stranger aspects of the <em>Smallville </em>universe. Why is Earth such a magnet for Kryptonians, dead or otherwise? Because Krypton has been observing Earth for a long, long time and designated the planet as a bolt-hole. We also learned more about that Kryptonian artifact that has been a mystery in <em>Smallville </em>for a few seasons now.<br /> <br /> All this and no Lois, too.<p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-smallville-kandor/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Review: Smallville - Kandor</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/smallville/" rel="tag">Smallville</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/episode-reviews/" rel="tag">Episode Reviews</a>, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/category/reality-free/" rel="tag">Reality-Free</a></p><p><a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-smallville-kandor/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/forward/19223899/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-smallville-kandor/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/7ZN70kiHab8eXx7aOA7cUfWEVkw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/7ZN70kiHab8eXx7aOA7cUfWEVkw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/7ZN70kiHab8eXx7aOA7cUfWEVkw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/7ZN70kiHab8eXx7aOA7cUfWEVkw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=kRT8flyOXaY:kAlWq_qS6Qk:wF9xT3WuBAs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=kRT8flyOXaY:kAlWq_qS6Qk:wF9xT3WuBAs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?a=kRT8flyOXaY:kAlWq_qS6Qk:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/weblogsinc/tvsquad?i=kRT8flyOXaY:kAlWq_qS6Qk:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~4/kRT8flyOXaY" height="1" width="1"/>Clark KentClarkKentDaily PlanetDailyPlanetDC ComicsDcComicsErica DuranceEricaDuranceLois LaneLoisLaneMetropolisSmallvilleSupermanThe CWTheCwTom WellingTomWellingBrad TrechakSat, 07 Nov 2009 01:08:00 ESThttp://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/07/review-smallville-kandor/http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/weblogsinc/tvsquad/~3/nO8ZT81XJ-g/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/06/review-ghost-whisperer-devils-bargain-recap/http://www.tvsquad.com/2009/11/06/review-ghost-whisperer-devils-bargain-recap/#comments<img width="425" vspace="4" hspace="4" height="475" border="0" align="top" alt="Ghost Whisperer" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2009/11/gwcast2009.png" /><br /> <em>(S05E07) "The answers are there, but you have to know when to look." - Carl the Watcher</em><br /> <br /> Starting this week, <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com">TV Squad</a> now offers regular reviews of CBS' <a href="http://www.tvsquad.com/tag/Ghost+Whisperer/"><em>Ghost Whisperer</em></a>.
