		<description><![CDATA[There has been no shortage of rumors and speculation surrounding Joss Whedon&#039;s return to television. His new TV series, &#034;Dollhouse,&#034; has suffered re-shoots and re-writes, but a trailer is finally making the rounds for the show that is set to begin airing on Fox in mid-January.

The show stars Eliza Dushku, Amy Acker, Harry Lennix and [...]]]></description>

NBC has been slow to bring back &#034;30 Rock&#034; for whatever reason&#8230; The show just took home seven Emmy Awards back in September and unlike the majority of television shows it didn&#039;t immediately return to television on the heels of its win and the release of [...]]]></description>

Unfortunately it appears the fourth episode of &#034;True Blood&#034; was not much of a sign of what was to come. Just as the show started to get interesting it devolves into the most boring episode to date in episode five &#034;Sparks Fly Out&#034;, a title dedicated more to the show&#039;s focus on the use [...]]]></description>

Last week I finished my episode review up by saying &#034;The show hasn&#039;t really found a groove yet and still seems to be creating its world and drawing lines in the sand as to which side the folks of Bon Temps, Louisiana will side.&#034; Well, this week&#039;s episode, &#034;Escape from Dragon House&#034;, certainly does [...]]]></description>

What did you think of the two hour season three premiere of &#034;Heroes&#034;? Personally I thought it introduced a large amount of folks with powers and whatnot, but as far as doing anything more than leaving about 30 storylines dangling in the wind it was mildly impressive at best. Seriously, has this show now [...]]]></description>

David Frank knows more than you. Care to disagree?

&#034;Heroes&#034; slithers back onto NBC&#039;s lineup tonight, giving fanboys a whole new slew of shit to bitch about&#8211;unless they drink the Kool-Aid and actually believe Tim Kring&#039;s soap-opera cross between &#034;X-Men&#034; and Unbreakable makes quality television. Ahh, poison tastes so yummy when it&#039;s cherry-flavored. I know millions [...]]]></description>
