Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for April 25-27

Written by Jace | Sunday, April 27, 2008 | 1 comments »

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation.

This week, I dished about Torchwood's second season finale, was thrilled that guilty pleasure Gossip Girl returned with new episodes (and a Bass sweater for Machiavellian Chuck), praised Rob Thomas for his uncanny casting ability on drama pilot Good Behavior (landing former Arrested Development co-star Mae Whitman as Roxy), and thought that this week's 30 Rock was a triumph of comedic wit, with an extended homage to Amadeus.

Also: news about Lucy Liu joining the cast of Dirty Sexy Money, Gavin & Stacey heads to BBC America, Lloyd and Adwoa create a "chamber of love" on Last Restaurant Standing, FOX renews Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and does anyone not think that Richard and Dale deserve a place in the final two on Top Chef?

But, ultimately, I was really all about the shape of things to come on Lost, which returned this week with a kick-ass installment focusing on Ben that raised as many questions as it answered (hello, Smokey!).

Elsewhere in the sophisticated TV-obsessed section of the blogosphere, members of the TV Blog Coalition were discussing the following items...

  • Buzz played agent to Lauren Graham and asked what her next career move should be. (BuzzSugar)
  • Sandie shared pictures from the set of Moonlight. (Daemon's TV)
  • Marcia liveblogged the UK's BAFTA Television Awards, in which shows most Americans have never heard of took home the big prizes. (Pop Vultures)
  • Rae listened in on a teleconference with Jason Dohring about the return of Moonlight and shares her favorite bits. (RTVW)
  • You soon won't forget Sarah Marshall. Yep, Scooter can write uber-cheesy headlines with the best of them. (Scooter McGavin's 9th Green)
  • This week, the TV Addict set the internet ablaze with his review of the highly anticipated BATTLESTAR GALACTICA prequel CAPRICA [the TV Addict]
  • How I Met Your Mother introduces everyone to Vance's Canada! Welcome, eh! (Tapeworthy)
  • TiFaux launched a new regular feature this week with Dan recruiting some of his gal pals for Ask a Lesbian About This Week's Work Out. This week, they addressed Jackie's new haircut and Rebecca's shouting for attention. (TiFaux)
  • Jennifer was downright giddy after Robin and Barney's kiss on How I Met Your Mother and couldn't resist gushing about the Robin Sparkles-centered episode guest starring James Van Der Beek. And she can't stop singing, "I'm building sandcastles in the sand." (Tube Talk)
  • Kate scoured casting notices until she was able to confirm that yes, there really will be a Wedding of the Year on Gossip Girl (TV Filter)

    This week Jace completely ignored BG once again. Come on Jace! Miss your insightful thoughts on the show. I was particularly curious to see what you made of this week's episode, as the first three of this final series have been outstanding, I think, whereas Friday's show was very weak, the religion story-thread completely over-egged and too dominant. It makes me nervous about the final destination for the show.

Post a Comment

Some ground rules about commenting here:

(1) Please be sure to **PREVIEW** your comment by hitting the preview button before pressing Post Comment, in order to guarantee that it will be logged.
(2) Keep it civil. We're all here to discuss television so I won't tolerate any intentionally rude or aggressive behavior towards other commenters or myself.
(3) Keep in on topic. That means keeping your comments restricted to the news, review, or interview you're currently commenting on. And no ads for other sites or services, please!
(4) Please don't comment as "Anonymous." It gets really confusing in longer threads (not to mention irritating) and there is the option to select a name (any name) by using the Name/URL option. So, please, no more "Anonymous" comments!

Thanks and keep reading!
