NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Whiskey Business” (C) This season’s completely limping to the finish line. Like last week, a decent A-story falls prey to having too many subplots to contend with. Modern Family – “My Hero” (A-) A rather … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “Pulpit Friction” (C) The first 10 minutes had this headed straight for “A” territory. The bed-bug opener was scarier than any Treehouse of Horror and the religious satire delivered by guest star Ed Norton was … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS: The Following – “The End is Near” (A) Just a forewarning: This A is not the same as an A for The Americans or Hannibal. It’s simply an A for being the best episode the show has ever … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS: The Simpsons – “What Animated Women Want” (C+) Some funny dirty sex gags—Rev. Lovejoy in bondage gear and Moe writing erotic Andy Griffith Show fan-fiction—but did this episode even have a point? The Americans – “Covert War” (A-) … Continue reading

NEW SHOWS: The Following – “Guilt” (B-) The first 2/3rds of this episode were about as good as this show gets, but then they just had to blow it. The writers have basically painted themselves into a corner, and it’s definitely … 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

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
