Week of January 4 to January 11
Clever, insolent, creative, irreverent; even a little twisted. I speak of the writers here at CliqueClack, and the unique posts they churn out day after day. How could we let seven days go by without highlighting some of the week’s gems?
TV’s back, baby, and so are we! Sure, we had some great content during the winter hiatus, but with actual new programming on this week, we were utter clack-a-holics.
It was a week of firsts, which I suppose is fitting with the new year and all.
- We broke the news first on the Internet, folks … the successful The Librarian mini-series franchise is coming to the big screen, hopefully to be shot later this year.
- Jason reviewed the first two back-to-back episodes of Scrubs on ABC, and had some good things to say about the transition. What did you think?
- Scott debuted his BBC Babble column, about all things British and on TV, of course. US shows have been greatly inspired by their British counterparts, to say the least….
- Annie debuted her Gossip Girl Virgin diary — OMG!
- Kona debuted Diary of a Weeds Virgin, shedding a whole new light on suburbia for her.
- Damages season premiere was splendidly reviewed by Jane; so glad this show is back and still intriguing!
- My Name is Earl came back, and Bill not only reviewed it, he illustrated his post. You don’t want to miss his take on Jason Lee (or The Odd Couple, for that matter).
- Psych’s first episode of the new year debuted to Brett’s favorable review.
We also had our share of interviews this week at CliqueClack:
- Battlestar Galactica fans, get the scoop from Moore and Eick themselves on the remaining episodes of BSG in Keith’s Frakkin’ Clack this week
- Isabelle gives us the inside scoop on this season’s Kyle XY from Matt Dallas himself.
- I was honored this week to conduct an interview with the creator and executive producer of Leverage, Dean Devlin.
And if you’re loving Leverage like I am, don’t miss the behind-the-scenes Leverage documentary on YouTube.
Ivey’s back with a Guest Clack this week, clacking about the Flash Forward pilot script.
A little reality TV humor is always in order. Keith created some funny backdrops he’d rather stand in front of than American Idol, and Scott admits he still watches The Real World, and wants to know if you do too — so go answer his poll.
This, that and controversy:
- Bob Degon shared a Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles sneak peek and video podcast with us.
- Amazon BOGO deals good until January 14.
- Jane reviewed the controversial Private Practice this week and asks for reader opinion on the events surrounding the vaccine / measles storyline.
With more premieres next week, you can bet we’ll have some good stuff in store for you, so stay tuned!
