Parenthood‘s fifth season was only its second with a full 22-episode order (the other was season two). For some characters, that resulted in what felt like two distinct story arcs while the show depended on Julia and Joel’s marriage troubles (and, to a lesser degree, Sarah and Drew’s stories) to pull the season together. It’d […]

 

It’s the beginning of the end of the beginning. Time has marched forward in Mad Men, and the 60’s have finally arrived in full swing, just in time for the decade wrap up. Season 6 ended with several characters in precarious positions, and now that the series has reached the final fourteen episodes of its […]

A lot of coverage of last night’s episode of Game of Thrones (and a very necessary SPOILER ALERT just in case you haven’t watched it) is going to focus on that ending. There will be a lot of punning about why men should be very afraid to get married in the world of Westeros. There […]

Leslie’s pregnant! Congratulations Ben and Leslie! This is so exciting. Great, that’s out of the way. Parks and Rec has been going back to some classics this season and they’ve been great.

Oh hey, guys, Mindy’s back! Just as New Girl stands on the precipice of undoing all the good will I feel towards it, Mindy Kaling (and her fictional counterpart, Mindy Lahiri) is back to brighten my Tuesday evenings. Or more accurately – my Wednesday in-a-rushed-half-hour-before-work. And brighten it she has. I thought it was a […]

 

If television shows and video games could be paired in the same manner that cheese and wines can be paired – and who even said that’s a thing – I’m fairly certain that I stumbled into an apex pairing of these two disparate entertainment forms. It would seem that True Detective goes quite nicely with […]
