What I Watched This Week: 21 Dec 2014

CURRENT SHOWS Hello Ladies: The Movie (B+) A sweet-natured wrap-up movie for a show that already ended on a perfect note. Still, I enjoyed all these characters so much that I was grateful to see them all again, even if … Continue reading →

What I Watched This Week: 14 Dec 2014

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Stakeout” (A-) One of the problems of shows with gifted ensembles (this one, Parks and Rec, Modern Family, Community) is they’re too afraid to limit them by focusing on just one story. They must add … Continue reading →

What I Watched This Week: 7 Dec 2014

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “The Pontiac Bandit Returns” (A) Two stunners in a row. Craig Robinson absolutely kills it in his return as the Pontiac Bandit, but it’s the sight of Rosa smiling for real that warms my heart. … Continue reading →

What I Watched This Week: 9 Nov 2014

NEW SHOWS The Simpsons – “Simpsorama” (C+) Can’t say it’s any better or worse than that Family Guy crossover, but I did chuckle a few times. This episode seemed to be self-aware of how desperate it seemed. I probably would … Continue reading →

What I Watched This Week: 2 Nov 2014

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “The Mole” (B+) A good episode, but one that doesn’t reach for the highest heights. Still, I would watch an entire bottle episode of Holt and Peralta in his lounge in their pajamas, solving cases. … Continue reading →
