Tuesday Televisionary: Snorting Pills and Flipping Tables or, Why I Love Summer TV!

“I don’t know if I properly stressed how awesome Nurse Jackie is when I wrote about the pilot last time, so let me clarify: THIS SHOW IS AWESOME. It’s amazing, seriously. The 2nd episode was even better than the first! Jackie is another example of a strong female role from a network who seems to specialize in strong female roles lately.”

Tuesday Televisionary: Finales and Flashbacks and Fiascos -- Oh My!

This week, Carlytron covers a bunch of season finales, including the best rundown ever of how Grey’s Anatomy has gone “L-Word level crazy,” and geeks out over the premiere of Real Housewives: New Jersey.

Robin Shoots Peaches and Fischerspooner

“Electroclash gained steam in 2001 and two of the first artists I got into were Fischerspooner and Peaches. Both are primarily queer acts that were formed in reaction as a response to the lame state of electronic music at the time. They are political; they are artistic; they are entertainment.”

Tuesday Televisionary: Lesbians Get Trendy, SNL Finds the Funny & Alpha creates his Omega

Grey’s Anatomy’s EPIC 100th episode featured a wedding (shockingly NOT Mer/Der, but Iz/Al!), the most tragic college graduation of all time, and LOTS OF LESBIAN SCENES. Thank you, Grey’s writers, for finally indulging us a tad bit. You played hard to get for a long time but here we are.

Tuesday Televisionary: Serena is Awesome & Arizona is Forever

“Anyone with eyes and a brain (or not) knows that Blake Lively is hot, but Serena as a character is always awesome. Whether she’s (somehow) putting up with stupid Dan, or dealing with Blair’s insanity, or on her own crazy downward spiral, she’s always awesome. “

Thursday Televisionary: She's GAY NOW. GAAAAY!

“Back in high school when I was figuring everything out, I was hyper-aware of every lesbo storyline on TV and would record them all on one VHS tape and then I took it to college with me and now I’m a giant lesbian.”

Carlytron is Your Tuesday Televisionary, Also Can Wear a Pencil Skirt & Dodge Bullets

A bunch of my regular shows weren’t on this week — which was actually a good thing, ’cause the drama ensuing from the LiLo/Sam Ronson breakup is more than adequately taking up the time I would normally spend watching Gossip Girl. But there’s always plenty of exciting avenues to travel down/talk about before May sweeps heats up.

Weekly TV Time with Carlytron: Echoes, Heroes and Bluck!

In which Carly loves Dollhouse, falls asleep during Grey’s, and should probably start watching Skins.

Weekly TV Time with Carlytron: Goodbye Battlestar & Betty, Helloooo Dollhouse & Dorota

BETTER! OFF! TED! Oh man, this show totally impressed me. Smart writing, hilarious premise, and Portia was amazing. Her character on this show is kind of a combination of her two prior regular television roles (Nell on Ally McBeal and Lindsay Bluth on Arrested Development). I highly recommend this show, I can’t wait to see more.
