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: 13-19 Jan 2013

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons: “A Test Before Trying” (B) A perfect example of how this show has faded from its glory days is the how sharp the commentary on underfunded public schools used to be. Then again, we did get … Continue reading →
