TVSquad

The television show Lost now has some musical groupies. A band calling itself "Previously on Lost" is doing musical recaps of episodes, just in case you missed watching it and want the recap to a beat.

Their first song "We're Goin Home" is a pleasant, catchy tune sung in a grating group voice that makes me want to destroy my External Auditory Canals rather than hear another note. If the band is going to continue in this style, they may win the musical equivalent of the Razzies.

Three weeks into a new season, American Idol continues to dominate the television landscape. And it now looks like the phenomenon has its eyes set on dominating the internet, as well. The official American Idol website has become an increasingly popular destination for millions of steadfast fans. Visits have reportedly doubled since last year's season premiere.

It's been written before, but it's worth repeating: TV Squad does not do episode recaps. We write reviews/opinions of episodes for people who have already seen them in order to spur discussion.

I chose to review Monk because I'm a big fan of the show, but it has become more and more difficult for me not to repeat myself with each review. Five seasons in, I think the show has found a comfortable niche, but I can only write about that niche so many times before I get sick of it. Monk has more or less used the same basic plot since it began, and if it weren't for Tony Shalhoub's ability to embody the character of Adrian Monk so perfectly, myself and other fans would have grown tired of the show a long time ago. Monk is a character-driven series, and that's just fine, but at this point I've said all I can say about it.

If you liked my reviews, thanks for reading. Personally, I never thought they were my best for the reasons mentioned above. Fans of the series can still check out the series' Web site, which has episode recaps and video clips.
