Mad Men: Hands and Knees →
After we came to expect a certain pace of storytelling, a speed in which we’ve grown happily accustomed to during this excellent fourth season, Matthew Weiner and the writing staff…
Mad Men: The Suitcase →
This isn’t a complete write-up of the episode as much as it’s me typing some thoughts I had about the great hour of teevee.
At the halfway point of the fourth season of Mad Men,…

Mad Men: The Rejected →
It is about time we had a non-Don centric episode. We know virtually nothing of Pete and Trudy in this season and Peggy has had no concrete part this season besides that awful publicity…

Louie: Bully →
Sex!
Violence!
I bet that got your attention! And lucky for us those were the two topics of the terrific Louie episode, “Bully.”
Usually on Louie, the stand-up portion of the show…

Weezer will be releasing an album titled Hurley, featuring Jorge Garcia on the album cover. However no songs on the album will have to do with the show Lost. This makes as much sense…
Mad Men: The Good News →
Somewhere during last season I had written off Lane Pryce as one of those main characters that you never really get to know (or want to know) more about because their lives don’t add much…
Louie: Dogpound →
When left to one’s own devices, a person can really let themselves go. Where they go can be a very dark, confusing, surrealistic, rabbit-costumed place.
After dropping off his kids with…

The IT Crowd: Bad Boys/ Reynholm vs. Reynholm →
The final two episodes of the fourth series of The IT Crowd were funny. Haha and such. All apologies for the long delay.
In “Bad Boys”, Roy bets Jen 100 pounds (about $150 American…

Louie: Double Date/Mom →
Family – amirite? Or am I right? The thing is I know I’m right – in these contemporary times (the future!) the much more normal family is the dysfunctional family. Usually television will…

Mad Men: Christmas Comes but Once a Year →
Christmas in the summer! My favorite! I had read a brief synopsis of the episode before watching and was certain Ken and his haircut were going to be joining us again but no. No fretting…

Mad Men: Public Relations →
Liz is having computer troubles so I’m here to over-snark on the season premiere of Mad Men. Yes, everybody else over-analyzes but here we make excellent prostitute jokes.
”It’s somehow…
Louie: Heckler/Cop Movie →
Is acting difficult? Some comedians say it’s very easy and practically mock the profession on stage. Other comedians say they can’t possibly do it and mock the profession on stage. C.K. is…
Futurama: Lethal Inspection →
We don’t hate Hermes but we never really give him too much thought either. We know he for whatever reason absolutely loves accounting. We know he has a wife who always seems to be on the…

DirectTV saved Damages from cancellation. Eventually the satellite company will scoop up every single critically-acclaimed and low-rated show in the world. Except Party Down…dammit.
The IT Crowd: Italian For Beginners →
No follow-up story on Douglas’ new robot hand. Very disappointing.
Roy gets a beautiful new girlfriend named Julia who unfortunately carries the baggage of being an orphan. Julia…
Futurama: The Duh-Vinci Code →
For the third week in a row Futurama makes fun of a pop culture phenomenon that took place during their long hiatus. While this process seems transparent at this point, “The Duh-Vinci…

Entertainment Weekly featured a promotional photo for the Lost epilogue coming out August 24th. Looks like Ben is still rocking the satchel.
This thing reveals which episodes the…

[Just as a warning, this and all future rewinds, Mad Men or not, will contain spoilers throughout for not only this episode, but others as well.]
Why am I combining these two episodes…
The Onion: FCC Overturns Decision To Cancel Party... →
WASHINGTON—Citing the fact that the series never really got the chance it deserved, the Federal Communications Commission announced Monday that it was immediately reversing the Starz channel’s decision to cancel the critically acclaimed TV show Party Down.
Louis C.K.: The B Sides →
Louis C.K. is known for his hilarious stand-up specials and for his current hit show Louie. But most people are sadly unfamiliar with the long comedic road that got him to this point….
Louie: So Old/Playdate →
I’m not “old” and I don’t have children, so this show and particularly this episode shouldn’t really “speak to me.” However, the outwardly misanthropic, always uncomfortable male with a…
Holly Is Coming Back →
Ausiello: I’d say there’s a very good chance considering the fact that [exclusive scoop alert!] Amy Ryan (a.k.a. Holly) is not only returning to The Office, but will be playing a sizable role in the show’s upcoming seventh season. “We set her return up in the finale, so it would be the biggest [cop-out] of all time if we didn’t [follow through] on it,” says coexec producer and cast member...

john Krasinski married Emily Blunt one week after Jenna Fischler tied the knot. I’d love to see what Creed’s wedding would look like.

Futurama: Proposition Infinity →
Another week, another topic for Futurama to tackle. While last week’s episode dealt with all of the technology that enhanced (or corrupted) our lives since the show got canceled, this week…
