What I Watched This Week: 18 May 2014
NEW SHOWS Louie – “Elevator, Part 2” (A-), “Elevator, Part 3” (B+) Louie is one of those rare shows where the A-story is good but is overflowing with great stuff in the periphery. I can’t think of another show that would have … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 11 May 2014
NEW SHOWS Louie – “So Did the Fat Lady” (A), “Elevator, Part 1” (B+) The first episode is another knockout, featuring a terrific performance from the lovely Sarah Baker as the overweight waitress who hits on Louie, then eviscerates him … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 5 Jan 2014
NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Steal This Episode” (A-) Homer becomes a (bootleg movie) pirate in the strongest episode since 2011. There are no subplots and no couch gags, but the episode crams in the guest stars in a hilarious … Continue reading
