NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Beach House” (A-) Holt in a hot tub. Six-Drink Amy. Hitchcock and Sully wanting to pull a sunken ship from the ocean and turn it into a casino. What’s not to love? Maybe Boyle playing … Continue reading

2014 in Review: The Best Shows

Television hit a critical mass this year. Even as I entered my 15th month without a DVR, I still found it nearly impossible to keep up with all the good shows I kept hearing about, including shows I’ve been meaning … 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: 30 Nov 2014

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “The Road Trip” (A) The best episode of the season, complete with a break-up, a cooking class and thousands of creepy dolls. As much as I love Eva Longoria (something I never thought I’d say), … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 23 Nov 2014

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “USPIS” (A-) Another strong episode, but I’m still waiting for that flawless episode like Season 1 was full of. Ed Helms kills it as the Ned Flanders-esque head of the Postal Service’s investigation unit. The … 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

What I Watched This Week: 19 Oct 2014

NEW SHOWS The Simpsons – “Treehouse of Horror XXV” (B+) A surprisingly solid entry. I found plenty to like in all three segments, particularly the first one’s vision of Hell as a school where Bart can actually succeed, but still … Continue reading

Best of the Decade… So Far – TV

It’s hard to believe the decade is half gone already. In these five years, I’ve graduated from college, moved back in with my parents, struck out on my own, and gotten married. And I’ve consumed a ridiculous amount of pop … Continue reading
