I miss when Olivia Pope wasn't a complete moron. The fact that she didn't immediately recognize that Jake met Vanessa in exactly the same way he met her and it was a setup made her look incredibly stupid. Treating it like a big reveal at the end and not something that was glaringly obvious made it clear Shonda thinks…

Is this the one you're talking about? http://www.huxtaburger.com.au/

Loretta Devine is a national treasure (and has been for years, of course). Her Ave Maria was the best part of the second episode, and the biggest laugh of the first episode (which had a lot of great bits) for me was:

Because those aren't the stereotypes I'm talking about, as I suspect you know full well. I'm talking about conventional/stereotypical notions of masculinity. When a man is described as "not masculine enough" (as I myself have been more than once), or you have those guys who say they're only into "masculine" guys and…

Not really, mostly due to real world experience, but now that you mention it, I probably should have been surprised. Most shows targeted at a primarily straight audience would go for the stereotype—that the ostensibly "masculine" guy is a top and the more supposedly "feminine" guy is a bottom, when of course in real…

I may be dense, but why was Cyrus looking at Michael like he was crazy when he was practicing the braids? I could buy him not caring, or understanding why he'd need to practice, but when Michael explained what he was doing, Cyrus looked straight up deranged. It made no sense, unless there's going to be some secret…

Yup. Awful. And boring most of all.

Lucy and Charlie Brown is a) a one-on-one situation, not a pile-on; and b) generally not repeated over and over again for a half an hour.

The show kind of lost me for a while; I've been dutifully watching every episode, but I can't remember the last one before tonight I really liked or that stayed with me. But yeah, this one was completely charming. Nice for Sara to have a plot that doesn't just force her to be beleaguered, and the Jimmy/Sara chemistry…

I really, really hated this episode. They should just change the title of the show to "Everybody Hates Stewart" since it's become less about The Grinder and more about everyone treating Stewart like garbage, the sane person being tormented by morons. It's not funny, it's just depressing as hell. Every character but…

I'm usually a huge apologist for this show and tend to like it more than Kyle, but I found this one underwhelming. The first half was good, but the lack of a subplot was really felt in the second, where it seemed like nothing was happening and the karaoke went on forever.

Oh my god. That's the first thing that came to mind for me too (Mr. Boogedy! Bride of Boogedy! Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights, circa 1986/87/88) and though I never expected it to be covered, I was going to post the same thing. Not even kidding. I should have known someone else around here would remember it…

Much as I enjoyed last year's Christmas special more than any episode in the season that preceded it, I loved this more than any episode of Season 9. It was both genuinely, joyfully fun and deeply emotional, and I honestly cried at the end. This Doctor had more chemistry and a truer connection with River in a single…

That was simply wonderful. The best episode in quite some time, and likely one of the best ever, hitting the perfect combination of laughs, sweetness, geekdom and character work. Easily a straight A. Penny's glass shattering. All of Amy's reactions. The guys' response to the movie (and the juxtaposition between the…

He mentions it at the end of the review. He already reviews two shows on Monday (Gotham and wrestling) so didn't have time to do this one while it was airing on Monday as well (and presumably no one else wanted to do it). Now that it's back on Thursday he picked it back up again.

Was it just me or was this the most boring episode ever? I know it's not true that nothing happened, but it sure felt that way. Nothing interesting happened at any rate, and none of the stories beyond the case of the week went anywhere. I don't care about David and Liz, Cyrus huffed and puffed and accomplished…

It's all about the hits, and I'm not surprised the reviews get enough hits to justify keeping them. Between the people who like the show and the haters who come every week to proclaim it the worst show that has ever existed in the history of the medium, there must be plenty of people reading them, or at least clicking…

Good episode, probably the best of the season so far. Nice to see Sheldon dialed back to a relatable, sympathetic character again considering how unbearable he was at the beginning of the season. A lot of nicely human moments, and that last scene (before the tag) was a killer, and so well executed.

I never knew the name of the episode, but every time I'm reminded of "Tales from the Crypt" (and frankly, every time I'm reminded of Hamlet), I think of that one. So truly memorable and disturbing. Definitely a good pick for the list.
