Pilot Watch: Southland
In addition to Harper's Island and Parks and Recreation, tonight also brings a new police drama to TV. Southland starts tonight in ER's old time slot. I recently checked out the first episode (which is also streaming online), and here are my initial thoughts:
What's it about?
88 Minutes: Actually 105 Minutes, And Feels Longer
I fear for the future of Al Pacino's career. If 88 Minutes is any indication — and I think it might be — he should stop. Now.
"The OC" Returns — on Cable
Until last week, I was only vaguely aware of Soapnet, but if you're a fan of "The OC," it might be time to get the obscure cable channel on your lineup. Starting tonight,
Soapnet is adding the recently canceled teen drama to its regular programming, which includes evening rebroadcasts of traditional soaps like "All My Children" and "Day of Our Lives," as well as reruns of "Melrose Place" and Beverly Hills 90210."
"The OC" kicks off tonight with the pilot, which airs at 6 p.m.
"The OC" Recap: Episode 16, "The End's Not Near, It's Here"
So the series finale of the "The OC" has come and gone, with an hour of television that was at once wonderful and terrible. For the first 20 minutes or so, I found myself wanting to tap the actors on the shoulders and remind them that this was, in fact, the final episode ever and could they please stop wasting time on silly trivialities, such as exposition and Taylor's blog?
Fortunately, about halfway through the episode, they seemed to get the message, delivering plenty of juicy details and referencing everything from The Graduate and "Six Feet Under" to "Deal or No Deal" and "The OC's" own demise.
TV Tonight: "The OC" Series Finale
I've said it once and I'll say it again: "The OC" is officially over. Sure, the show hasn't been a ratings darling this season, but even I was shocked when Fox announced in early January that it was canceling the series for good.
Thankfully, after last week's rather lackluster post-earthquake episode, it looks like the writers have prepared the action-packed finale that this melodramatic show deserves.
"The OC" Recap: Episode 15, "The Night Moves"
Maybe it's because last week's episode of "The OC" ended in what looked to be the worst earthquake since the great San Francisco shake-up in 1906, but I was expecting something a little more earth-shattering on last night's show, "The Night Moves." (And for those of you wondering, yes, the title is a reference to the Bob Seger song of the same name. Oddly.)
Fittingly, almost all of this episode takes place over the course of one night in the hours following the earthquake.
"The OC" Recap: Episode 14, "The Shake Up"
In this week's episode of "The OC", Ryan worries that his relationship with Taylor is suddenly moving into "mach 5," and thankfully, that's precisely what the writers seem to be doing with the show. We begin as Taylor is discussing plans for her first-ever birthday party with Summer, and she confesses that the ideal present would be Ryan asking her to go to Berkeley with him. Oh, and an "I love you" wouldn't hurt either.
"The OC" Recap: Episode 13, "The Case of the Franks"
I rushed home from the Sugar Publishing happy hour to catch last night's episode of "The OC." By the time the show ended at 10 p.m., I was feeling a little nauseated — and it wasn't from the cocktails. So just how sappy and ridiculous and flashback-filled was "The Case the Franks"?"The OC" Recap: Episode 12, "The Groundhog Day"
You know a show is desperate for ideas when it's building plot lines around Groundhog Day, and that's precisely what happened on last night's episode of "The OC." Che is still in Newport and struggling with the revelation that his soul mate is a sea otter and, therefore, probably Seth. His other major concern: liberating the groundhog that is Newport's version of Punxsutawney Phil.
What Did You Think of This Week's "The O.C."?
On Thursday night's episode of "The OC," Che and Seth do some animal liberation, while Taylor goes to therapy to tend to her emotional issues and Kirsten struggles with turning 40. I'll post a full recap tomorrow, but for now, tell me below: What did you think of tonight's episode?
