‘Bob’s Burgers’:...

In one of the best acts of recent satire, CNN called Fox’s newest addition to Animation Domination, Bob’s Burgers, “wickedly funny.” This is why this author does not get his news from CNN. Bob’s Burgers is an absolute travesty of a show, which couldn’t even maintain a shelf life of twenty two minutes in its pilot episode. This rotting... Read More »

Did South Park “Jump the...

To most people who grew up in the 90’s and 00’s, one show has always defined the cutting edge of comedy and slashed its way past any lines of good taste: South Park. If the Simpsons is the father of adult themed cartoons, South Park is the foul mouthed, hard drinking, cool uncle of the genre. Crude, irreverent, offensive... Read More »

The Ricky Gervais Show, Ep. 1 Review

Ricky Gervais’ new show is all about his comedy podcast that enjoyed an enormous following. Sitting down with his good friend and colleague Stephen Merchant and the absent-minded Karl Pilkington, they basically talk about nothing. The show has a unorganized format because Gervais and Merchant react to the idiotic ramblings of Pilkington. His ideas are random and absurd, but... Read More »

Community: ‘Communication...

Drunk calls. If you are a college student, you have most likely been the recipient or instigator of a call to a person of the opposite sex in an inebriated state. People will say their true feelings bluntly, however, there is an understanding that these things won’t be remembered in the morning. Unfortunately, there are times when you leave... Read More »

The Office: The Meeting Review

“The Meeting” aired last night and it was a satisfying return to form for The Office. For the last couple of seasons the show focused more on the personal lives of the workers and less about their actual day-to-day business. There were many hilarious episodes during in recent seasons but I sometimes wondered if the show was living up... Read More »

Cougar Town: Pilot Review

I really wasn’t expecting a lot from Cougar Town. It seemed like an ABC comedy that was a rehash of Desperate Housewives. The show centers on women in a suburban Florida town who crave sex. After watching it was confirmed that the women living in Cougar Town definitely want to have sex—a lot of it. However, the pilot did... Read More »

Glee: Preggers Review

Glee is a high school musical comedy. It’s had enormous success through the first three episodes and “Preggers” did not disappoint.  The high school setting has been overdone in television but Glee creates a formula that makes it entertaining again. Its major plot points are all things that you will see in other high school, coming-of-age shows. “Preggers” included... Read More »
