The Waitress from The Booth at the End on Hulu, which is a pretty good show and deserves some sort of attention on this site. Unfortunately her interloper role is more prominent in the show's worse second season than its stronger first one, but roll with it and see what you can do.

I agree that the freedom from a network's 22-minute time constraint did the creative team few favors — some episodes used the extra time well, but unquestionably there were many gags that should have been cut shorter than they were (the housing vote, Lucille and Buster's smoking and Lucille's later smoking with the

As a big Scandal fan, and a fan of the complexity and subtlety that I suspect a lot of its detractors do not fully appreciate or realize it has (so unexpected is that subtlety in the context of all the melodrama), I have to say I greatly enjoyed the linked Hitflix interview with Shonda Rhimes. It is reassuring to know

I vote hourly reviews for Arrested Development season 4, because anyone who watches that show in more than the single day after release is doing it wrong.

Pilot Viruet … inexplicably liking shows and characters that are well past their time since at least the last few seasons of 30 Rock.

Uh, Suze Orman, and Dave and Alex talking about the Civil War.

So now I have the stress of watching Happy Endings to save that show and reading these reviews to save them too? TOO MUCH! (At least Scandal's ratings are actually going up, a phenomenon I did not know could even happen any more.)

Having watched this episode from the UK set a while back, I loved the call-out about "I had no idea they were sisters!" I guess it became fairly clear by the end of Season 2, but there was definitely a point somewhere midway though Season 2 where I was surprised to learn(/re-learn) that Jane and Alex were sisters

Spy on Hulu is also great, for those who appreciate British humo(u)r. As is The Booth at the End, though its second season wasn't really as good as the first.

An aside…worth noting that the theatrical version of Little Shop has always had the unhappy ending.

30 Rock did not explain the absence, but they did joke about it at one point, with Jack saying something about how Maulik Pancholy was a huge success on Whitney.

I really like how this show is not afraid to have a Republican president. Both because it added intrigue to the succession angle by having an ideological veep, and because you really just don't see that…either full-on Democrats like in the West Wing liberal media fantasyland, or careful attention not to mention who's

I like Nina as evil Nina, at least in so far as back in S1/S2, Nina was always made out to be somehow ominous and evil, but the show was back then really bad at following up on loose ends (just like how back then Nina and Broyles once shared a random kiss that was never mentioned again). So I'm not sure where evil

I have been thinking a lot about this movie lately since it was somewhat omnipresent in the 90s and I think it led to a lot of people thinking the various Muppet franchises were interchangeable—hence some reviews of the current The Muppets complaining that the Sesame Street characters were missing, which is just

I can appreciate the argument that people have made that the last few episodes have been a little on the boring side, as in low on action, but at the same time, the "boring" stuff is what makes Fringe so great…without it, it would just be monsters of the week. All of the character development and exposition I actually

Did not notice the double glove. Surely there is some explanation there.
