Girls Season 2 Review “It’s Back” March 4, 2013 Girls, Reviews Well, that was certainly an eventful episode of Girls. "It's Back" was hellbent to reveal to us something completely new about the history of each girl. (Jessa excluded, obviously.) And each thing was...
The Simpsons Season 24 Review “Gorgeous Grampa” March 4, 2013 Reviews, The Simpsons It's a sad state of affairs when the thing that makes me laugh the most in an episode of The Simpsons is a series of blink-and-you'll-miss-them gags that come at the very beginning of the half hour. But,...
Bunheads Season 1 Finale Review “Next!” February 26, 2013 Bunheads, Reviews If Bunheads doesn't get renewed (and sadly, the chances feel pretty dim, although there's still hope), "Next!" would be a strange episode to go out on. Not that I'd be sad, necessarily, that the final...
Girls Season 2 Review “Video Games” February 25, 2013 Girls, Reviews My favorite episode of Girls so far this season has been "It's A Shame About Ray," or, if you aren't one for episode titles, the one with the dinner party. It was an episode that let all the characters...
Modern Family Season 4 Review “Bad Hair Day” February 20, 2013 Modern Family, Reviews Normally, Modern Family splits its plots between the three families, making them all intersect at some point towards the climax of the episode. "Bad Hair Day" deviates a little from that, and spins off all...
Bunheads Season 1 Review “It’s Not A Mint” February 19, 2013 Bunheads, Reviews There's a certain magic, sometimes, that can happen when a TV show forces all its characters into one space for an episode; "It's Not A Mint" doesn't live up to that promise. It's not a terrible episode,...
Girls Season 2 Review “Boys” February 18, 2013 Girls, Reviews This week's Girls is called "Boys," so we might as well dive right in and start there. It's the return of Adam, who brings back to the show his uniquely weird, screwed-up energy. What the episode does, in...
American Dad Season 8 Review “Naked To The Limit, One More Time” February 18, 2013 American Dad, Reviews It's a weird week for American Dad. Like a few times before, the show seems to be embarking on an actual plot with "Naked To The Limit, One More Time." That is, one that spans multiple episodes, and may...
The Simpsons Season 24 Review “Hardly Kirk-ing” February 18, 2013 Reviews, The Simpsons "Hardly Kirk-ing" is the kind of episode that I wish The Simpsons could pump out every week these days. It's well-constructed and funny enough, and while there's nothing in here that's either...
Modern Family Season 4 Review “Heart Broken” February 14, 2013 Modern Family, Reviews Once again, it's our Valentine's Day episode, and we get treated to Phil and Claire getting romantic as their alter egos, Clive and Juliana. That's our first story of "Heart Broken," an episode that plays...
