Scotch Terriers

Posted on September 12, 2010 by guiltyfeat

Another day, another TV pilot reviewed. Terriers is one of those shows that defies programming logic. It doesn’t belong on the air and yet here it is. It doesn’t have a well-known cast. It doesn’t have a unique premise. There … Continue reading →
