Numbered days
If someone started out by telling you that 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a bleak drama about abortion, shot in Romania and set during the Communist era, you’d probably avoid it like the plague. So, instead, I’ll start out by telling you that 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days captured the […]
Feeling the heat
“Top Chef”Wednesday 10pm, BravoWith last week’s stunning news that “Project Runway” is jumping ship to Lifetime (and seriously, how nuts is that?), Bravo desperately needs to keep its second-best reality competition at the top of its game.

Worth your Schrute bucks
“Secret Talents of the Stars”Tuesday 10pm, CBS It’s no “Circus of the Stars,” but in these post-ironic times, it’ll have to do. A dozen or so marginally famous people will amaze and astound you, and debase themselves for your viewing pleasure, as they show off talents other than the ones that made them, well, marginally […]
