Girls: Season 2, Episode 10 — “Together”
The alternate title for this finale could have been “Grow the F*** Up.” Almost every character gets told this on some level, and many of them don’t respond well. Including me. The last five minutes made me angry, like, really … Continue reading

Girls: Season 2, Episode 9 — “On All Fours”
At least four times during this week’s Girls, I shouted at the screen some variation of, “No! Stop! What are you doing?!” I realized I must be pretty hooked on a show to do that, because that’s only happened once … Continue reading

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

Girls: Season 2, Episode 8 – “It’s Back”
This episode is all about characters doing things completely outside their normal M.O. Most of these feel like they come out of nowhere, to the detriment of the show. But Adam’s storyline is so good that it overshadows any confusion … 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

Girls: Season 2, Episode 7 – “Video Games”
While having dinner this week, a friend made a great observation about Girls I hadn’t thought of: the title is perfect because all the females on the show act like teenage girls (this extends to the men acting like boys … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Hardly Kirk-ing” (B+) Bart and Milhouse have pretended to be adults before, but not for as long as this. I appreciated that the show crossed the line for once (Milhouse almost becomes the victim of … Continue reading

Girls: Season 2, Episode 6 – “Boys”
“It’s hard to tell someone so young that things don’t always turn out the way you thought they’d be.” – Ray Girls has always been a show about facades and this week’s episodes brought them all crashing down. After last … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Love is a Many-Splintered Thing” (B-) Certainly not a great episode, but lots of really hilarious throwaway gags. My favorite was Homer and Bart watching the British rom-com Love Indubitably, which featured Hugh Grant as … Continue reading
