This weeks episode of On Freddie Roach gave us an opportunity to see yet another side of the remarkable Freddie Roach.

TV Without Commercials Review: On Freddie Roach 2

HST’s Best of 2011: Television

With so much of my (Lauren’s) personality constructed by Television, from PBS shows of my childhood to everything Joss Whedon that influenced my sense of humor and sarcasm, it’s no surprise that every year I get pretty excited for the pilots making their attempt to gain viewers. Not only that, but sometimes I go crazy […]

Complete and utter shock, is the only way I can even come close to describing what I felt when I watched last nights season finally of Boardwalk Empire.

TV Without Commercials Review: Boardwalk Empire 2.11

After last weeks ending, I didn’t think there was anything the writers of boardwalk could have done to match that intensity, but boy was I wrong. I love the way Agent Sebso has finally come back to haunt Nelson. He seemed to get carried away in his righteousness at the end of season one, yet […]

TV Without Commercials Review: 24/7 Overtime Cotto Margarito

Well here were are, just hours away from Cotto Vs Margarito II, and I’m finally getting a chance to write this. As many boxing writers have already said, this is the biggest grudge match boxing has seen in a long time. These two men have a deep hatred of one another and they will get […]

Good Ole Fashion Television Review: Terra Nova 1.10

This weeks episode of Terra Nova was called Now You See Me, but I feel that a more appropriate title would have been, cheese. Everything cool or interesting in this episode was very close to being completely ruined by this shows cheesiness. I feel like this has become a recurring event in Terra Nova. They have […]
