This week’s show opened with a fairly sloppy and unconnected opening number – there were multiple instances of the dancers not being in synch – by apparently new choreographer Peter Chu. It did very little for me, and the whole thing felt poorly rehearsed. Then we got to the meat of the show, featuring Season […]

“Face Off” Season 3, Episode 2: The pirate life for me
Following the excitement of the season premiere’s team challenge — and I’m referring more to Joe’s five-star nuttery than the “Star Wars” task — last night’s episode gave us a better sense of the S3 competitors’ individual skill levels. Seems to me that, on the whole, we have a bunch of very good technicians, but […]

“The Walking Dead” Season 2, Episode 13: Great Balls of Fire
Cheers all around: We’ve finally left the freaking farm. Of course, it took an entire horde of walkers to make it happen. Apparently one gunshot attracted all those walkers, or the herd followed them from Atlanta, but either way, a giant wave of walkers overran the farm, taking a few characters with them.

“The Walking Dead” Season 2 Episode 12: Who’s your daddy?
Another main character dead.A twist in the very development of how people become walkers.A character confrontation that has been building since the very start of the show. And yet, I can’t get into the episode as a whole.

“The Walking Dead” Season 2, Episode 11: He’s a threat!
Oh man. It took right up until the end, but Jesus tap-dancing Christ, everything managed to came full circle and end on such an intense note. Wow. This is why I love “The Walking Dead.”

“The Walking Dead” Season 2, Episode 10: 18 miles down the road, the farms that way
Not quite the wrenching follow up to last week’s killer episode, but “The Walking Dead” took a much slower, though somewhat overdue, look at the constantly strained relationships within the group.

“The Walking Dead” Season 2, Episode 9: Guiding Light (But with more blood!)
And just when you think a show can’t shock you, “The Walking Dead” returned with some much needed gusto. The two situations from last week that had run dry really pulled through, creating some down right awesome moments for the show.

After the startling midseason finale reveal that Sophia(Madison Lintz)had been a walker all along, this week’s return to “The Walking Dead” dealt with reactions to the bitter end of a failed search and rescue attempt.

“South Park” Season 15, Episode 12: Occupy the restroom!
Poor Cartman. Usually the one throwing the insults, this week was a giant blow against the overweight and rabble rousing force behind many of South Park’s more extreme moments. And, in true SP charm, it came with a take on the Occupy Wall Street movement that was spot on genius. See, all the students in […]

Anybodyworriedthat newfound Broadway fame and a stunning nine Tonys would go to their heads, can rest assured. This week the duo, with help from “Book of Mormon” composer Robert Lopez, took […]

“South Park” Season 15, Episode 10: All hail Lemmiwinks
This episode may go down as the one that restored my faith in “South Park.”

“South Park” Season 15, Episode 9: No Habla Espanol
It seems despite the last two episodes nothing is going to change in the little mountain town of South Park. This week we saw no mention of Stan’s parents’ divorce, the world being made of shit, his and Kyle’s near falling out, or Jameson, for that matter. Is it a cop out? Yeah, pretty much. […]
