There is actually enough to Ikea Heights to warrant a post all on its own. At its core, the show is a clever sendup of daytime soaps. You have the unfaithful wife, a long lost brother, murder, amnesia, and even a hidden treasure. And it’s all played in a very over-the-top way that embraces the […]
Premiere week doesn’t stop the flow of DVDs. This week we have another bunch of the current shows releasing season sets, including Fringe, The Office, Criminal Minds, Important Things with Demetri Martin, and Parks and Recreation.
