Modern Family masters the mix-ups

“That’s hardly porn, it was a topless woman on a tractor. You know what they call that in Europe? A cereal commercial.” – Phil Modern Family has already proven that they do so many comedy classics well, like pratfalls and other physical comedy, one-liners, situational jokes and more. Tonight they so masterfully demonstrated the comedic […]

Was last night’s Idol better without Paula?

I realize we’ve yet to see the makeup of the new panel of judges on American Idol (Ellen DeGeneres joins when the show hits Hollywood), but we did get our first exposure to life without Paula last night. So, what did everyone think? Personally, I loved it. As much as I think Kara DioGuardi is […]

The Good Wife needs to do a better job vetting the help

There was something off about Molly (Betty Gilpin) on last night’s episode of The Good Wife.

Unfortunately we all know how that story ended, with the cancellation of Reaper (and I […]

The Big Love season premiere: Weekend at Bernie’s gone awry?

Today’s Guest Clacker is Meredith O’Brien, a pop culture columnist who also blogs about TV and movies at Notes from the Asylum. I didn’t expect to laugh this much during Big Love’s premiere. I think the laughter was a defense mechanism, a response to the parade of craziness which appeared in one scene after another. […]

Men of a Certain Age – All in all, not a bad first date

Some are saying that last night’s episode of Men of a Certain Age was a welcome lighter side to the show. But I didn’t see it as anything other than a continuation of the same, a perfect combination of middle-age angst, brotherhood, and Ray Romano awkwardness. Yes, last night’s episode was awesome, but that’s nothing new […]
