Now is that time of year in TV when news of what could be happening next year starts leaking out. It’s pilot season, a free-for-all of brilliant concepts and derivative sure-things battling it out for precious few primetime spots. My picks for the possible best of 2011’s fall season?

 In recent years, my wide eyed enthusiasm for the Oscars has dampened a bit. I can basically trace the moment back to 2006, when Crash beat Brokeback Mountain, and I learned that (despite what I’ve learned from thousands of Hollywood movies) the most deserving film doesn’t always win.

And though Tuesday’s 2-hour offering was […]
Malcolm Jamal Warner guest starred on Community this week. It was an okay episode, far from the best Community offering but still pretty good.
