I must be the last person on the planet watching this show since NBC cancelled it back in the spring after only two historically-low rated episodes, but then brought it back in the summer (during the Saturday night dead zone) to burn off the remaining episodes they had shot. Well it’s a long way from…

The League…Now that FX’s comedy about fantasy football has moved over to FXX (whatever the hell that is, I just know that, despite its name, it’s not a porno network) I wondered if the show would be radically different to make folks desperately search their channel guide to figure out where in the hell FXX…

Tonight was the final episode of the final season of the final resurrection of Futurama. That means no more episodes on Fox/Comedy Central, no more revivals on other networks (unless Netflix is interested…please?), and probably no more standalone movies to fill the void. Tonight’s episode was called “Meanwhile,” and if Futurama ever had to end——–and…

TNT’s new reality show “Cold Justice” (following two female crime solvers getting paid to solve cold cases) isn’t just devoid of real entertainment value——-it’s essentially a lurid Dateline special swallowed up by static, repetitive scenes of telling us the same five “facts” over and over again———it also could get innocent people locked up. This is…

I have missed as many of these Comedy Central Roasts as I have seen, and it usually just depends on whether or not one is on when there’s nothing else to watch, and tonight’s certainly fit that criteria. [A Labor Day monday at nine o’clock? Yep, I’m pretty sure I’m free.] Plus, I was curious…

Pivotal episodes on three of TV’s tensest dramas…   Breaking Bad…The best show on TV, period. I’m sad there are now only four episodes left and it looks like the partnership between Walter White and Jesse is permanently damaged. That being said, I’ve never liked Jesse that much, and don’t agree with the notion that…

Only a few hours ago, I reviewed a stone-sober Israeli/Palestinian conflict drama that deals with suicide bombings and marital trust. And so now, naturally, I must review “Summer Fun” shows that revolve around drunk people telling stories and a soap opera about Spanish maids who almost never speak Spanish. Although honestly, if you’re looking for…

Two shamefully bad shows that have grown into the ultimate guilty pleasures. True Blood in that it was a once-promising show that has devolved into a parody of itself. And Whodunnit in that it is probably the single worst show I have ever watched from start to finish…yet I found unexplainable enjoyment in it the…

I felt reviewing a whopping eight documentaries in one post would have been too much, so now the B-team documentaries of HBO’s Summer Documentary series…   The Cheshire Murders…I honestly don’t even get why they made this movie. I’m not trying to be funny or snarky, but I watched the whole thing thinking “What’s the…

HBO debuted this Larry David-starring TV movie on Saturday night in hopes of placating Curb Your Enthusiasm fans who have been waiting two years for another season (if there will even be another one). I can’t say it’s an entirely successful substitute although I really love the idea of David branching out into different plots and directions….

Breaking Bad has now been so excellent for so long, that it’s become easy to take it for granted. Tonight’s episode was an alive, full-blooded reminder of why you shouldn’t. [Spoilers ahead…and potentially huge spoilers in just the first scene that showed a future version of Walt…well, just watch it.] In the mid-season cliffhanger from…

TV’s only true Western is back in style last night with a Saturday night third season premiere that almost no one watched because it was Saturday night. [Although I like that AMC is thinking outside the box, and that I could have a show to watch if I’m ever at home or bored on a Saturday.] The…
