From being aroused by cannoli last week to needing a box of tissue this week, The Big C sure knows how to spin your emotions in every direction. If you haven’t seen the episode, get some tissues, it’s a tear jerker…and a face slapper, although I think that is an involuntary reflex. This is the stuff dark comedies are made of. I wish premium networks weren’t so afraid to step into the gray areas of what is truly a dark comedy which is finding humor in the depths of despair.

Recently, YEC was invited to participate in a conference call with Stephanie March and Linus Roache, from NBC’s hit show, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (L&O:SVU). March is returning as the hard-hitting ADA Alexandra Cabot, while Roache is reprising his role as ADA Mike Cutter on the original Law & Order, but with a promotion to Bureau Chief. I found both actors to be extremely friendly and willing to share what they could not only about the upcoming season, but their upcoming projects as well.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But despite what people have been saying, the only thing I found similar to AMC’s hit series Mad Men is the era of the 1960s. And that’s only because Hugh Hefner founded The Playboy Club in early 1960—if the writers/creators of The Playboy Club wanted to mimic Mad Men, we would be watching an entirely different show. I’ll admit, I had a good time watching The Playboy Club. It was fun, entertaining, intriguing and took me back to my early 20s, especially the underwear the Bunnies are sporting.

Q&A with Brendan Sexton III of AMC’s “The Killing.”

By comparison, “Get to the Punta!” is a rather tame episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey—it doesn’t have the usual drama. Instead, there are a lot of fun times and funny happenings. That is, until Teresa and Kathy go at it on the beach.

There’s a serial killer on the loose and a teenage boy, Rory (Scott Beaudin), has gone missing. Is Rory the next victim or is he part of something more menacing? Are there cannibals in Haven? “Wendigo…it’s a human spirit, but stronger, faster; tracks prey like a lion; survives on human flesh.”

“The Birthday” is a great way to kick off season three. It kept me interested, wanting to learn more and happy to see the cast back for a new season.

If you haven’t seen the series premiere of Homeland yet, you’ve probably been in a retreat somewhere with no access to the internet, hiding under a rock, or vacationing in some foreign country. On the off chance you’re one of those people, I’m happy to provide it for you here. As I said in my Advance Review of the premiere, “Homeland has the same great execution, sharp writing, and brilliant acting as [Sleeper Cell].” But who am I to say? You be the judge, and let me know what you think.

It was such a pleasure to speak to Rob McIlhenny (“Mac”), Glenn Howerton (“Dennis”), and Charlie Day (“Charlie”). Each was nicer than the next. They couldn’t have been more accommodating if they tried. I have already posted the interviews with Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day, and now since the season premiere has aired, I’m able to post my interview with Rob McIlhenny. I was under an embargo not to show any pictures or videos of Rob prior to the start of the season due to his weight gain.

Homeland is so well written, directed and acted I felt like I was watching a full-length movie rather than the premiere of an exciting new highly addictive television series.

Last week, I was extremely anxious to participate in a scheduled conference call with Rob McIlhenny and Glenn Howerton since I had already seen the season premiere and interviewed the guys during a set visit last summer. Unfortunately, I was called away at the last minute *pout*. Nonetheless, I’m happy to provide the fans of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia with the transcript of that call.

Cannoli never sounded so…erotic. Meow! Temperatures may be dropping in Minneapolis but libidos are heating up! From the homeless guy using the expensive gloves Cathy donates to warm up more than his hands to Dr. Atticus Sherman (guest star Alan Alda) hungrily munching on his wife Gia’s (guest star Laura Benanti) cannoli, “Fight or Flight” definitely channels some strong sexual overtones…I wonder if the writer was going through a dry spell? (LOL!)

This show truly is Jurassic Park meets 24 with a bit of family drama thrown in. There are dinosaurs, family drama and suspense which almost strangles you with anticipation.

While not a heavy duty cliffhanger, the ending of “Fresh Pursuit” leaves me thinking Brenda is in more trouble than she’s ever been. I don’t know what tricks Gavin will have up his sleeve to get her out of this one.

I expected more from True Blood because that’s what I got before—great entertainment, funny one-liners and top of the line plots that actually led somewhere. So, this is me shaking my head at season four asking, “Now why couldn’t the entire season have been like the finale?”

“The Observations” is Bessy’s account of her life, written in her own words. You see the change in Bessy through each passing chapter, which ends up being a few years—the length of time it has taken her to write everything down. Her speech in the beginning is almost incomprehensible, sloppy and surprisingly hilarious.

A fun race, a happy get-together, and a heartbreaking birthday party. No wonder this episode is entitled “Singing in the Pain.” It reminds me of Rodney King’s infamous question, “Can’t we all just get along?”

Could Haven be plagued with an outbreak or is this just another case of the “troubles?” My money is on the latter and with the heavy stench of betrayal in the air, the “troubled” are going to be in big…trouble. “Your kind won’t win.” An ominous threat spewing from Merrill’s blood-drenched lips; it’s moments like these that make Haven such a darkly decadent treat.
