Michael Palin in the Blackmail sketch is the epitome of the reason why he's my favorite. He's just so darn ADORABLE. But still exuding this happy menace.  No one else could have pulled it off. I think that's one of the (many) great things about Monty Python. They all really knew what their strengths were and wrote for…

Strike Back is so great. It's nice to see a show that knows what it wants to be, and sets out to be it in a straightforwardly entertaining and unpretentious manner. I wish shows like this got more love.

The lack of nerdy reporter Clark is a deal-breaker for me. Which is too bad, because the visuals in this look beautiful and I had been excited.

This article didn't really mention the joy of rewatching that has nothing to do with the plot. On the rewatch, when the mystery is solved and that tension is no longer hanging over you, it's the line deliveries and the production stuff that really make it worthwhole for me. I rewatch Lost sometimes like I watch…

He's in that new show The Goodwin Games, that premieres next week or something, but I don't think that show has any hope of continuing past the burnoff of the episodes this summer. So he should be back. Unless there's a new show I don't know about.

Even though a lot of this season has played out like Alias, a complete plagiarization of that show's season 1 ending was not what I was expecting here. Finding out that the head of the secret nefarious organization is her father? The "Dad?" line delivered at the last second in the same intonation that Jen Garner gave…

Glad it was revealed Jake didn't kill Osborne, Wendy etc. 
It was all going so fast that I sort of missed that. I'm so glad, too. Hopefully Olivia can personally rescue him from the pit before he completely loses it. I hope they aren't trying to break him out of thinking he likes her, the way they broke Huck out of…

Almost Human reminds me of Alcatraz and Revolution. I think the pilot will be beautifully produced and end with an Abrams-type wtf cliffhanger, only to be followed by a bunch of episodes that are mediocre, convoluted and boring. I love Karl Urban, but they don't have snazzy buddy cop chemistry, the attempts at humour…

I think he gave a tape revealing the identity of the assassin in Olivia's apartment that night.  I don't think it was Charlie, right? At any rate, I think it's something other than what was requested, because as you say, it's not like Joe Morton couldn't just bully it out of Cyrus. He doesn't actually need Jake to…

I wouldn't even mind the toxicity of it so much if it were less repetitive and less of a single-minded focus. There isn't quite enough of a show outside of the pairing to let some other relationship share the stage (which is what happened on Greys Anatomy to relieve some of the similarly never-ending Meredith/Derek…

So THAT's where I recognize Charlie from! Thank you for that.

I just want the 3rd season of Dawson's Creek. It was so cruel, getting us through the first 2 seasons and then stopping coverage just when we got to when the show was really good.

Huck's story was great. Actually all of it was great. The only thing that was sort of off was the resolution to the cliffhanger. I thought the question we were left with was whether she'd follow Jake's instructions or rat him out to Fitz. But in this episode, she flipped out at Fitz saying he was having her followed…

I don't know why every critic insists on making this point, or a similar one about him. It's basically just a fancy way of saying, "The associates have not been very well drawn," without actually being about that character. Stephen had a role last season—-the only one of Olivia's people who was actually her friend in…

There's another restaurant. We saw it last season for the Valentine's Day episode. Red, Snow, and Cinderella went for a girl's night out and Cinderella got engaged. That would have been a much more appropriate place for the date. So weird.

I understand that this was a truly terrible episode (and a criminal waste of Tom Ellis), but that's still no excuse to completely phone the recap in.

Game shows were another staple of early TV that could see a comeback, if the networks don’t overindulge on them.

Came here to nominate the Cosby Show ep with Ray Charles, so I'll just second it here. Best thing ever.

The other thing that's hilarious is that Philip Winchester, who plays the super perfect English soldier is actually American! This show! It's so awesomely ridiculous. I can't wait for it to come back.

That to me is the bigger issue. Especially characters who are hotshot lawyers or doctors or business people—the kinds of professions where there are loads of foreigners in real life. And especially the shows set in NYC. It's perfectly realistic, and gives the viewer a little bonus sex appeal (for example, Henry Ian…
