NEW SHOWS
Crashing – “Julie” (B+)
My least favorite episode, but still quite good, as everything hits the reset button. But Pete is still so likable, even as he’s talking to Rachael Ray’s mom about blowjobs.
CURRENT SHOWS
The Mindy Project – “A Decent Proposal” (B+) / season finale
They got rid of the least useful character on the show and set up the last season of the show wonderfully. Can’t really top that for a finale on a middling show.
BINGEING
The West Wing – Season 3 (A)
Probably the best season yet, with its most devastating finale, and a use of “Hallelujah” that’s not annoying since this was 15 years ago before it got used to death.
