If the two-minute iTunes preview of ABC’s new sitcom In the Motherhood, which was interestingly made unavailable soon after it’s release, is any indication, ‘Motherhood’s going to be a disaster of a show. It’s too bad, because the premise was promising: “a new comedy [...] which takes a look at the importance of family and friends while trying to juggle motherhood, work and love lives in an overly complicated modern world.” Continue Reading

While I understand CSI: Miami’s (CBS) Horatio Caine (David Caruso) is supposed to be the stone-faced hero, shaken by nothing and intimidated by no one, I would love to see some more emotion.

Tonight, Dr. Gilbert Grissom (William Peterson) bids adieu to arid Nevada. Until the ever inevitable guest spot, of course. For nearly nine seasons, Peterson’s character has been a staple of the CSI franchise – wooing audiences with his quirky personality and scientific prowess. People love him; and, they really hate losing him. When Entertainment Weekly broke the news via their Ausiello column, commenters were quite succinct: if Peterson goes, so do they. Continue Reading
