NEW SHOWS: Breaking Bad – “Felina” (A) / series finale A fitting ending, even if we’ll be debating it for years to come. It’s cathartic and impressive and great finale for one of the greatest shows of all time. Read … Continue reading

Fall TV Hangout: Week 4 (aka The Best Week Ever)
The Simpsons – Season 6 “Bart vs. Australia” (A) I’m such an idiot. Last year, I called “Blame it on Rio” as the best travel episode of The Simpsons. I was so wrong. This is the funniest, most ridiculous travelogue … Continue reading

The Simpsons – Season 6 “Homie the Clown” (B+) God bless Krusty. Along with Moe and Mr. Burns, they make up a trio of despicable men, who still provide some of the series’ biggest laughs. Krusty, yet again, has found … Continue reading

Freaks and Geeks – Season 1 “Dead Dogs and Gym Teachers” (A-) Well, I never thought both Millie AND Bill would break my heart. But here we are in an absolutely brutal episode. Neither event that gives the episode its title … Continue reading

Summer TV Hangout: Week 13
The Simpsons – Season 6 “Homer the Great” (B+) I had built up in my head that this was one of the Pantheon episodes. Aside from “We Do,” it’s definitely not, but there are so many terrific Homer-is-Stupid gags that … Continue reading

The Simpsons – Season 6 “Fear of Flying” (A-) How great is it to get a Marge-centric episode that’s not about how unfulfilled she is (which is still always a great, sad story)? Here, her fear is rooted in discovering … Continue reading

Summer TV Hangout: Week 11
The Simpsons – Season 6 “Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy” (B+) One of the sillier, less-remembered episodes of this great season finds Abe and Homer reunited, then separated, as snake-oil salesmen. It wouldn’t work if it weren’t so gut-busting for the first … Continue reading
