Best TV decision in recent memory: ‘American Horror Story’ to start new yarn in Season 2 (Commentary)

December 29, 2011April 16, 2021 John Hansen American Horror Story

I loved “American Horror Story” when it first started out, then kind of cooled on it toward the end of the season. It didn’t become flat-out bad, but it wasn’t as scary and surprising as when it […]

A&E doing a beautiful adaptation of Stephen King’s ‘Bag of Bones’ (TV review)

December 12, 2011April 17, 2021 John Hansen Books

“Bag of Bones” (1998) is one of my favorite Stephen King books, so it’s refreshing to see A&E doing a beautiful job adapting it. (Part one was on Sunday, and the final two-hour installment will be […]

November 28, 2011April 17, 2025 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

I should like ‘Community.’ But I don’t quite get it. Sorry (TV commentary)

November 20, 2011April 17, 2025 John Hansen IMDb Top 250 TV

I made it only a few seconds into the first episode of “2 Broke Girls,” one of the most critically acclaimed shows of the fall. It wasn’t the immature, sex-obsessed guys or the snarky, intent-on-those-guys-not-having-sex-with-her girl that […]

November 2, 2011April 16, 2021 John Hansen Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

Kind of a jerk move by Shane to kill Otis on Sunday’s episode of “The Walking Dead” (8 p.m. Central Sundays on AMC), huh? But also a shocking and fascinating one, and something that could set up […]
