CURRENT SHOWS Hello Ladies: The Movie (B+) A sweet-natured wrap-up movie for a show that already ended on a perfect note. Still, I enjoyed all these characters so much that I was grateful to see them all again, even if … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Simpsons – “Clown in the Dumps” (B) / season premiere Yeah, Krusty’s dad died. Big whoop. Though Lisa’s increased attention to Homer is sweet, it’s not very well executed. The Jewish Heaven and depressed comedian stuff is much better, … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS Louie – “Elevator, Part 2” (A-), “Elevator, Part 3” (B+) Louie is one of those rare shows where the A-story is good but is overflowing with great stuff in the periphery. I can’t think of another show that would have … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS The Simpsons – “Brick Like Me” (A-) To me, this LEGO episode works even better than Community‘s G.I. Joe episode. The animation is gorgeous and this feels like the first time in forever Homer’s been given something more to do than … Continue reading

CURRENT SHOWS: Saturday Night Live — “Jimmy Fallon/Justin Timberlake” (B+) The season’s best episode by a country mile. Some better songs from Timberlake and a reunion of “I Wish it was Christmas Today” would have pushed it even higher. Still, the … Continue reading
