What I Watched This Week: 1 Mar 2015

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Boyle-Linetti Wedding” (A) Event episodes can either be gimmicky or take the best parts of the show and up the stakes. This is clearly the latter, and you could make a strong case that this … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 2 Feb 2015

NEW SHOWS Parks and Recreation – “Donna and Joe” (A-) For an episode all about Donna and Joe’s wedding, it sure relegated them to the sidelines, especially Keegan Michael-Key, who really could have been played by anyone since he’s given … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 11 Jan 2015

NEW SHOWS Brooklyn Nine-Nine – “Payback” (B+) Hey, writers: Anytime you need a good subplot, please pair literally anyone in the office with Holt. You get gems like this: “I was a poet and I didn’t even realize I was … 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
