The Playboy Club - Chicago. Nuff said. And Amber Heard.

New Girl - Zooey Deschanel.

Person of Interest - haven’t seen the promos but it’s by Abrams.

The Secret Circle - not really my cup of tea but Brittany Robertson is in it.

Whitney - She seems to be funny.

Charlie’s Angel - the title speaks for itself.

Grimm - it’s about a detective protecting humanity from fairy tale characters. Hmmm…

2 Broke Girls - Kat Dennings.

Suburtagory - comedy about a single dad with a 16-year-old daughter moving to the ‘burbs for a better life. I need more comedy in my life.

American Horror Story - we need a scary sometimes.

Free Agents - looks funny.

Homeland (Showtime) - because Mandy Patinkin, who played Jason Gideon on Criminal Minds is in it.

Once upon a time - Snow White is real! So is the evil queen. Jennifer Morrison is in it.

Unforgettable - Poppy Montgomery as a red head, former NYPD detective who possesses the special ability to remember everything.

Up all night - Christina Applegate and Will Arnett. Cmon now.

Revenge: A quick review

Revenge is a dish best served cold. And it helps if the server is a beautiful, rich and smart person like Emily Thorne played by the lovely Emily VanCamp. It’s a story about how she will take down the people who betrayed for father when she was still a young child. Her main mark, Victoria Grayson, Queen of the Hamptons played by Madeleine Stowe. Queen Victoria is one cold hearted bitch and someone you don’t want to mess with, as shown in the first episode of the series.

Pilot episode got me hooked. How she took down one of people responsible for destroying her family was well played. I’m curious as to how she’d get her revenge on the rest. The show is up against CSI and Law & Order: SVU. The competition is tough but i think this show will hold its own. Let’s hope that the ratings will back me up.

This is not a story about forgiveness. There will be no “I’m sorry” in the end. And I doubt that Victoria will just bend over and accept what is coming to her. This is gonna get dirt.
