  1. From halls of 'Downton Abbey,' to 'House of Cards,' a great midseason

    Midseason used to be a time for networks to put on series that weren’t good enough to make the fall lineup. The thinking was: The money has been spent to make these episodes, so let’s try to get something out of them by plugging them for shows that have bombed.

  4. HBO celebrates True Blood The Complete Fifth Season on Blu-Ray/DVD

    Geek confession time! When the show <strong>True Blood </strong>first premiered on HBO, I wasn't a fan. Quite frankly, I felt as if the show was treading too closely to territory that belonged to my all-time favorite vampire series <strong>"Buffy the Vampire Slayer."</strong> But as the show proressed and the characters developed, I came to really enjoy the world that<strong> Alan Ball </strong>crafted out of the "southern fried vampire" books by <strong>Charlaine Harris</strong>. Over 5 seasons, <strong>True Blood</strong> has been able to do things that couldn't be done on Buffy, exploring themes and situations that are just too mature for network television. So yeah, I'm a convert.
