And with that, my regular television reviews are over for another season. It's been a lot of hard work - my keyboard's taken a hell of a battering and when I've seen fit to actually write these things by hand (usually while sipping cokes in coffee shops), I've frequently indented my thumb and index finger for days on end - but I've had a truckload of fun doing 'em. The reviews will return in September when Desperate Housewives, Supernatural, Fringe and Heroes begin again; although who knows, I might see fit to start writing about some other gem that I've discovered in the meantime. I keep meaning to have a go at True Blood and, having watched almost all of Dollhouse's first season, I could feel the itch to start ranting and raving about that... especially now that it's been renewed for a second year. So anyway, stay tuned for the usual inanity and the occasional foray back to the goggle box. Oh, and at least we're all safe from The Sarah Connor Chronicles: it's been cancelled! Huzzah!
