I do get lots of links to advance screeners, which helps, but there's no way I could do my job without the full-on cable subscription.

While I don't like violent programs per se, I do like good storytelling, which made me a fan of shows like Breaking Bad and American Horror Story.

It seems to me conspiracy is at the heart of dozens of TV dramas currently on. Maybe that itself is some kind of conspiracy.

Never forget that I am paid for my troubles!

Jarecki's 'Reagan' is a compellingly watchable and appropriately conflicted portrait...artfully nuanced and intellectually curious.

"Big Bang Theory" focuses on main characters who in other shows would only be auxiliary players hewing to stereotype: The gawky nerd who lives next door and says oddball things.

I think the occasional appearance of the UFO is a very oblique pop-cultural reference that anyone who was alive and sentient in the late 1970s will get right away.

I have to confess I can't have the holiday season without "Hard Candy Christmas". For some reason, it makes me think of the sticky ribbon candy bowl my mid-western grandma always had.

In fact, when it comes to TV, I'm not even sure what my real, true preferences are.

My work is very much like the restaurant critic's - a number of factors come together to make for a strong review.

In the end, all critics should be guided by this one principle: Is this piece of work [TV show, movie, play, concert, album, restaurant] succeeding at what it set out to do?

Only people who're positive enough to have friends have enemies. When you're as glum and morose as he was, people just give up and go away.

We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people.

We start this new year in the midst of an economic crisis unlike we have seen in our lifetime.

As I put out more music, I really want to get to the point where people feel like my show is a must-see.

After so long being thin, it was terrifying being heavier. But I am a naturally curvy Hispanic girl. I don't deprive myself.

We must say that there are as many squares as there are numbers.

The 5-year mean global temperature has been flat for the last decade, which we interpret as a combination of natural variability and a slow down in the growth rate of net climate forcing.

Someone will say to me, Oh that's so Jewish to interrupt. I say to myself, okay, is that code for you hate Jews? Or am I just being paranoid?

In the NFL you get one first-round draft pick if you're lucky. You couldn't really outwork anybody else. In college I could recruit ten players with first-round talent every year.

The biggest human temptation is... to settle for too little.
