If you're interested, I think Person of Interest is a drama that does a GREAT job writing for its female characters. Nominally not a prestige drama but every bit as good as the Breaking Bads and Mad Mens of the worlds.

I didn't become caught up on the show until June, so I've only started reading your TGW reviews this season, but I've really enjoyed them and please know that all the thought and effort that go into your reviews is appreciated! I look forward to reading your reviews on the other parts of the internets

Excellent points - I actually had the same reaction to all the wine - had me flashing back to Bree van de Kamp in whatever season that AA subplot happened. Love how you describe it in comparison to Peter's promiscuity, and I could easily see this uncorking (pun intended) into Alicia's main coping mechanism and…

This review is my everything

I'm really enjoying this show's approach to character development. It's analogous to Lost, or Person of Interest, except with flash-forwards instead of flashbacks. We usually get to see characters develop without foreknowledge of their final characterization - perhaps this might spoil some narrative twists, but it…

The pink montage was fantastic (and pickup basketball subculture would probably make for just as interesting a show as black or nerd culture). I'm really enjoying the visual/sound editing on this show.

Winston and Cece classic mess-arounds NEED to become a recurring thing - their chemistry was awesome, and it makes great use of the fact that those two characters have a sense of perspective that the other characters often lack. Great pairing.

i thought this was pretty funny https://www.youtube.com/wat…
otherwise it's a rather ill-conceived episode

"The Tuxedo Begins" and "Stone Mountain" are probably my least favorite episodes, and I was never a fan of any of Kelsey Grammar's appearances. But even the worst episode of 30 Rock is one i'll gladly watch on syndication and genuinely enjoy.

Black Tie is one of my five or so favorite episodes from season 1, if only for the pretty woman scene and for Jenna dancing for Gerhardt! But really, Adams is on the money - Black Tie epitomizes the precisely calibrated absurdity of the 30 Rock's universe and the show's ambition with testing the limits between…

With those cornrows, Boyle could probably convince Tammy II to be his date fairly easily.

page/2014 - i had the same reaction. If anything, every campus tour I ever went on sought to engender amicability, not act as a preliminary hearing for South Park's Biggest Douche in the Universe award (and especially so at Caltech, which has one of the least cutthroat student culture's you'll see).

I always cry when I watch 30 Rock's penultimate episode "A Goon's Deed in a Weary World", I have no doubt this will happen at some less-than-ideal point in the future.

To some degree, this episode was a really good commentary on how we view nutrition in this country. We embrace hysterical diet fads over a paradigm of moderation and balance - and i a way that reminded me a bit of the wal-mart episode. And while the B-story wasn't really directly funny, it was a nice bit of…

Root argues that ultimately The Machine forces us to make our own choices - but as quantum mechanics teaches us, the observer necessarily affects the observed system. Samaritan makes no bones about viewing us as anything other than pieces in its game of chess. And perhaps that's what Clare needs to find her sense of…

the santiago/holt/diaz stuff had me cackling, and captain holt is the best supporting character on television regardless of how successful modern family is at brainwashing the academy.

Turnt sketch had me laughing pretty hard. I think Michael Che will get better on the update desk (Jost is obviously a lost cause), he and Pete Davidson already have me much more excited for this season than any of the previous two.

I know Dave Chapelle is doing his own thing these days but I would personally fund a kickstarter to have him guest star on an episode titled "Keepin' it Real"

cartman's speech that spoofed on all the dumb techcrunch entrepreneurs had me dying. The overall satire of silicon valley culture was spot on, if not quite as subtle as peak south park. If anything, I appreciated South Park's caustic cynicism in comparison to the also excellent Silicon Valley.

I suppose the idea is that if picking and choosing numbers now sacrifices battles to win the war then in the long run the total value saved will be maximized. Since day one the machine has been programmed to make judgements on how to treat each number, now it's simply leveraging its intelligence to adjust the…
