RECAP: ‘American Idol’ Season 9 Goes Viral; Gets Their Pants On The Ground
I believe it was the great Twitter account of Dave Holmes who once said ” I am not emotionally prepared for the return of American Idol.” None of us were, Dave, and yet here it is, American Idol, Season 9, all new in two thousand and ten… and yet so strangely unfamiliar.
This week...

It’s Like I’ve Been Waiting My Whole Life For This One Recap Of The Office Wedding
Note: Michelle asked me to let you fine readers know that if it wasn’t for another wedding she had to attend today (her words: “a real one, with real alcohol”), she would have spent four hours gushing over how sweet The Office wedding episode was last night. She said it was Michael Scott crying...

Glee Recap: Strangers with Candy… The Musical!
Rachel is gone. Glee is without its “star.” We kick things off with Finn and Quinn singing the show’s banner song, “Don’t Stop Believin’.” You know, for a giant football player who fake-impregnated the captain of the cheerleading team, Finn is kind of an awkward dork jock. And aww, we love...

Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 7 Thoughts So Far?
I haven’t written about the new season of Curb yet (that’s what I call it, cause when I used to call it Enthus’ everyone was confused), mostly because rambly posts about generally likable comedies are the exact kind of posts I skip over when I read blogs myself.
But, because we’re all friends here...

THE OFFICE SEASON 6 PREMIERE: Liked It Almost As Much As I Like Men’s Butts
Last night’s Office premiere picked up right where last season left off both plotwise and being-on-a-roll wise, wrapping the Jim & Pam pregnancy into an episode full of ridiculous Michael rumors, a shocking Stanley subplot, interns joylessly watching the horror unfold, and the requisite weekly amazing Ed Helms moment.
The funniest moment of the episode...

MAD MEN RECAP: Duck Phillips Is Back And Turtleneckier Than Ever
Michelle and I have fundamentally disagreed on Mad Men Season 3 thusfar — I loved all of the first four episodes (acknowledging the weirdness of that Pete Charleston scene), while Michelle felt that after Episode 3-1, they’ve all been pretty boring. We both, however, agreed that Episode 5 “The Fog” was pretty boring, and...

MAD MEN OPEN THREAD: Was Episode 2 A Letdown?
Being a giant dork for musical theater, New York history, arguments about New York history, arguments about musical theater, objectifying women, backhanded compliments (”You’re not fat anymore”), awkward dinners, and regaining self-confidence by going home with a self-proclaimed “still growing” burger-eating dude, I enjoyed nearly every second of last night’s Mad Men episode (Season...

The American Office Finally Has A Dance Of Its Own
The Office remained on a roll last night; right now, this show is going through a stretch of just flat-out funny episodes that we probably haven't seen since Season 2 (no slight to 3 or 4, but there would usually be some B-pluses in between the great ones), and I'm really glad that the...
