Joel In One-Trophy Wife

Yeesh, what a mess.  This show is such a mess.  Every single cast member deserves more than this.  Malin Akerman, Bradley Whitford, Marcia Gay Harden and Michaela Watkins are all much better than this. I’ve read glowing reviews of this show and I don’t get it.  It’s been said that this is a show like…

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Ever since I saw the first trailer with what was believed to be Luke Cage or maybe Rage I was ready for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.  Is that Gunn from Angel? Hell yeah, I want to see what the ex gang banger has been up to. ….Then I watched the pilot. It’s going to be…

Parks and Recreation, Season 6 Premiere

I’m sure there have been more criminally underrated shows than Parks & Recreation over the years, but I’m hard pressed to come up with many.  I suppose The Wire never got proper recognition when it was airing, but hyper-intelligent urban dramas on HBO can be a bit elusive, and it certainly has been lauded over…

The Blacklist ‘Pilot’ Review

This week NBC premiered the new drama The Blacklist starring James Spader (You know the weird boss guy from The Office*) as Raymond ‘Red’ Reddington, a former FBI agent who goes missing on Christmas Eve leaving his wife and daughter and sells secrets to bad guys thus becoming a bad guy himself. Super dick move…

The Michael J. Fox Show Double Episode Premiere Review

Michael J. Fox is the most likeable person on the planet.  This program acknowledges it and tries to give the impression of moving past it, but also plays it safe and lets the overly oozy shmoozy tone of a Michael J Fox television triumphant return come through.  Michael plays Mike Henry, a news anchor who…

Joel In One-The Getaway

Quite simply, this show is fucking great.  It’s a new program on a new network, the fledgling Esquire Network(for sophisticated men like you and me).  In a nutshell, it’s No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, but with celebrities.  Celebrities go to a city they’ve always wanted to visit and document their travels.  In this episode, Joel…

The-Goldbergs

Joel In One-The Goldbergs

The Goldbergs is a semi-autobiographical sitcom based on the life of Actor Adam Goldberg.  Think The Wonder Years set in the 1980s, but more hahaha silly laughs and less genuine sentimentality.  I didn’t really dislike it by any means, but when you’re shooting for The Wonder Years, you’re going to fall woefully short every time. …
