NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Steal This Episode” (A-) Homer becomes a (bootleg movie) pirate in the strongest episode since 2011. There are no subplots and no couch gags, but the episode crams in the guest stars in a hilarious … Continue reading

What I Watched This Week: 8 Dec 2013
NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Yellow Subterfuge” (B) A conflicted episode. The B-plot was wildly unnecessary, yet contained the episode’s funniest moments. The A-plot focused on Skinner, which is always welcome, even if a riff on Django Unchained feels way … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Labor Pains” (B) While having Homer actually be a good father, to someone else’s baby no less, is ripe for humor, this episode mostly goes the heartwarming route. There’s nothing wrong with that, but as … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS: Key & Peele – Season 3, Episode 7 (B+) A Halloween-themed episode means the sketches try a little too hard to have a spooky connection, but as always, the majority are brilliant. Grey’s Anatomy – “Thriller” (C-) There’s … Continue reading
