Summer 2013

Summer is traditionally a sad, lonely time in a TV-lover’s life. Faced with the prospect of sunshine, barbeques, and bare legs, we retreat into our caves, lick the wounds left by the emotional highs and lows of the spring finales, and wonder how we can make it to September.

Despair no more! Summer here at Doux Reviews will be a magical tour through the best of television, old and new. Click on for a list of summer premiere dates and a brief glimpse of what the Doux Reviews writing staff will offer up for our internet delectation.

Big Announcement

Doux Reviews will start a Buffy re-watch on May 1st. Keep your eyes peeled (ouch!) for new posts, comments, and Joss-u-lation. (That’s Joss Whedon + adulation, and I’m copyrighting it.)

  1. Holy cow ! Never a dull moment over here, 4 seasons on 4.

    Seriously, times have (indeed) changed and TV is no longer a desert in the summer time. How many times I've enjoyed Warehouse-13 and Eureka during that period, just to name these two. And I'm adding a third one, Longmire. Not the type of show that'd be reviewed here, but nonetheless a good show to watch.

    Hum, maybe I should.....marathon Buffy on my side... (Billie, shame on me, I've still on the FIRST half of the pilot....)

  5. Maybe it was on another site, Olga? I remember posting Buffy quotes on my Yahoo Buffy list, but I don't think we've ever done an actual, coordinated re-watch. Unless I forgot it and early senility has set in. :)

  6. Billie, yes, I think it was on Yahoo Buffy list :)

    Anyway it's a good idea!
    "Buffy summer camp" - any excuse we can find to rewatch it :)

  7. what about the 2nd season of the X-files?

  8. That's what Josie's cheeky hints are about, lisam. :) Plans are afoot to cover S2 of The X-Files "round robin" style with several staff writers, including myself. (I just can't commit the time for solo coverage on a series anymore.) But we likely won't begin posting until fall, as several of the contributors already have summer commitments.

    Olga, I haven't found on the internet special stakes that can be used both for tents and vampires. Oh heck.
