I am a very late comer to Parks and Recreation. And I came to it for a very embarassing and unfeminist reason: a boy. Namely, Adam Scott since I needed more after Party Down. And somehow, in watching a few episodes to get my Scott fix, I also discovered a television feminist icon who could […]
It’s time for the 4th annual My TV Awards. Anything that aired in 2010 was fair game for nomination (including the summer season of Drop Dead Diva, the NBC season 4 run of Friday Night Lights and the burned-off final Better Off Ted episodes). Out of the 4-5 nominees in each of our 35 categories, […]
The first two episodes of Mr. Sunshine were fine. They featured witty, snappy writing and Matthew Perry at his Chandler-esque goodness.

Never was a story of truer love than that of Troy and Abed. This week’s Community Valentine’s Day episode shined a light on one of TV’s greatest friendships as Troy and Abed struggled with the fact that they were both attracted to the same woman. Unlike many a bromance before them (Dawson and Pacey, Alan […]
