Hey, guys.  It’s been a while.  How are you?  You look great.   Anyone who knows me even a little bit knows that I LOVE the Shield.  Because I’ve gotten them to watch it or am still currently nagging them to watch it.  It’s one of my top 3 TV shows of all time.  It…

Joel In One-The Millers

CBS has been pulling out all the stops with their seemingly endless barrage of new comedies.  Anna Faris, Allison Janney, Robin Williams, Sarah Michelle Gellar….these are huge names.  And The Millers is no exception to that rule with an amazing cast in its own right: Will Arnett, Margo Martindale, Beau Bridges and the incomparable JB…

Joel In One-We Are Men

I’m gonna make this one real short.  Nope. Never. Not even once.  I never want to hear from or see this program again and yes it deserves to die and I hope it burns in hell! Kumar, some new guy, Jerry O’Connell Romijn Stamos and Mr. Monk are four bros who live in some weird…

Joel In One-The Crazy Ones

This is going to be a tough one to review in a biased fashion.  It all really depends on how much you enjoy Robin Williams.  There are two Robin Williams.  Robin Williams, the “act” and Robin Williams, the actor.  Robin Williams, the “act” is something that I detest.  As a stand up comedy nerd, I…

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…

Joel In One-Back In The Game

Former softball standout Maggie Lawson(Psych) and her young son ditch the life they had back in Michigan and are forced to move back in with her father for reasons that are never made entirely clear.  Her son isn’t exactly hot shit at school as he thinks the way NOT to get beat up is by…

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. …

Joel In One-The Blacklist

Now THIS is more like it.  This is what I was left wanting for with Hostages.  This is way more of the 24 vibe I’ve been missing since it left the air.  Explosions, James Spader, car chases, James Spader, torture scenes and James Spader torture scenes and plenty of “Dammit, Chloe! There’s No TIME!” elements. …

Joel In One-Hostages

Well, this was rather disappointing.  They took a pretty badass plot: A rogue FBI agent(Dylan McDermott) and his team are holding a brilliant surgeon’s(Toni Collete) family hostage until after she operates on the US president, a routine procedure, by the way.  Her job is to make sure he dies or else her family gets it. …
