What I Watched This Week: 19 Apr 2015

NEW SHOWS Community – “Advanced Safety Features” (B+) I’m constantly amazed how consistently solid this season has been. This episode found an ingenious way to incorporate product placement AND give a chance for an old character to resurface without feeling … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 12 Apr 2015

NEW SHOWS Community – “Basic Email Security” (A-) Like “Mixology Certification,” this dark episode exposes a lot of the group’s resentments while managing to remain hilarious. This is the best episode Paget Brewster and Keith David have had thus far … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 5 Apr 2015

NEW SHOWS Community – “Laws of Robotics and Party Rights” (B+) A solid, if overly long episode. The line about the 14th Amendment provided the biggest laugh of the night and represents the kind of bold but nerdy joke that … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 20 April 2014

NEW SHOWS The Following – “Silence” (C+) Better executed (no pun intended) than last week’s debacle, but it’s readily apparent – if it wasn’t already – that this show goes for the easiest, most obvious twists and never tries to … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 13 April 2014

NEW SHOWS The Following – “The Reaping” (D+) This show just isn’t satisfying any more. It’s stupid and the violence doesn’t serve any purpose. It’s just an ugly, pointless show. (But of course I have to see what happens the next two episodes. … Continue reading

TV Week: 28 Apr-4 May 2013

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Pulpit Friction” (C) The first 10 minutes had this headed straight for “A” territory. The bed-bug opener was scarier than any Treehouse of Horror and the religious satire delivered by guest star Ed Norton was … Continue reading

TV Week: 21-27 Apr 2013

NEW SHOWS: The Following – “The End is Near” (A) Just a forewarning: This A is not the same as an A for The Americans or Hannibal. It’s simply an A for being the best episode the show has ever … Continue reading

TV Week: 14-20 Apr 2013

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “What Animated Women Want” (C+) Some funny dirty sex gags—Rev. Lovejoy in bondage gear and Moe writing erotic Andy Griffith Show fan-fiction—but did this episode even have a point? The Americans – “Covert War” (A-) … Continue reading
