Hooked on 'Hell on Wheels'
I can't say AMC's new series "Hell on Wheels" is as good as "Deadwood" or any of the revisionist Westerns of recent decades. But still, after the first five episodes, I was hooked. Here's my review from the Globe.
David Hare's 'Page Eight' on PBS is smart but cold
This Sunday's new installment of PBS's "Masterpiece Contemporary" is called "Page Eight." Written and directed by David Hare, starring Rachel Weisz, Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, Judy Davis, and Michael Gambon, it's a prestige production for sure. But it left me a little numbed-out. Here's my review.

'Beavis and Butt-head' return to MTV, same as they ever were
They're back, and they haven't aged. There's nothing subversive about Beavis and Butt-head these days, but they do offer a small nostalgic kick. Also, MTV's "Good Vibes" premieres. Here's my review.

Things to say about the return of "Beavis and Butt-head," the intensity of "Homeland" and "Boardwalk Empire," and/or the campiness of "Revenge"? Show up at noon with any comments or questions of a TV-ish nature.
Kelsey Grammer is the 'Boss'
The bracing new Starz series "Boss" is a dark political tale of political corruption in Chicago. It's also a tough-minded character study, with Kelsey Grammer completely shedding his Frasier persona as Mayor Tom Kane. Here's my review.
Fairy tales live: 'Once Upon a Time' and 'Grimm'
What's the craziest backstory in the world? A fairy tale. Here's my review of ABC's "Once Upon a Time" and NBC's "Grimm." Both shows are about contemporary characters whose pasts reach into the world of sleeping beauties and big bad wolves.

Come talk about "Revenge," "Boardwalk Empire," "Homeland," Kelsey Grammer's new Starz drama, and anything else TV-ish.
The life and times of Harry Belafonte
HBO is airing a beautiful, clip-filled documentary about Harry Belafonte tonight at 10. Here's my review.
Openly gay on TV
Guess what: Neil Patrick Harris isn't the only openly gay actor on TV (!). There are many, many out actors, anchors, and hosts on the small screen right now, when you step back and take a look. The very long list includes Don Lemon, Ellen DeGeneres, Denis O'Hare, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jane Lynch, John Barrowman, Cynthia Nixon, John Benjamin Hickey, Linda Hunt, Chris Colfer, Cherry Jones, Tim Gunn, Sara Gilbert, Cheyenne Jackson, Graham Norton, and Rachel Maddow.
In the movies? Not so much. Check out my story on why it's easier to be an out performer on TV. It's here.
Doubts about 'The Walking Dead'
Is the show a hackneyed apocalyptic melodrama with a cast of stick figures? Just wondering in my review, which is here.
'Breaking Bad': The season of Gus
What a stunning performance by Giancarlo Esposito on "Breaking Bad" this season. Can't wait until Sunday's finale. In the meantime, here's my season-end piece, which is on BostonGlobe.com. It'll be in tomorrow's paper.
Noon TV chat
Come talk about anything TV-ish, from the onslaught of new network series ("New Girl," "Terra Nova") and the returning series ("Dexter," "The Good Wife") to the excellence that is "Homeland."
