What I Watched This Week: 8 Dec 2013

TV Week: 5-11 May 2013

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Whiskey Business” (C) This season’s completely limping to the finish line. Like last week, a decent A-story falls prey to having too many subplots to contend with. Modern Family – “My Hero” (A-) A rather … 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: 24-30 Mar 2013

NEW SHOWS: The Following – “Guilt” (B-) The first 2/3rds of this episode were about as good as this show gets, but then they just had to blow it. The writers have basically painted themselves into a corner, and it’s definitely … Continue reading →

TV Week: 3-9 Mar 2013

NEW SHOWS: Girls – “It’s Back” (B+) Once again, a fascinating story that’s incomplete because we have to deal with Hannah’s crap. Read my review here. The Simpsons – “Gorgeous Grampa” (B-) A bit of a nasty episode, and not … Continue reading →

NEW SHOWS: The Oscars (B) Though it ran way too long and I thought they botched the Bond montage and musicals tribute, I thought this was a fine Oscars and a step up from Billy Crystal’s tired shtick. Seth MacFarlane as … Continue reading →
