I can’t think of two shows more different in style than The Office and Glee, yet this week’s Glee gave me exactly that, “Oh s—, I simultaneously wish this wasn’t happening and can’t stop laughing,” feeling that is the Office‘s stock and trade. Most of it, especially the Rachel and Mr. Schuester stuff, amused me. […]
Community may just be the best written show on television. The lines in Community could be the most quotable, loveable wonderful television shows on the air. Emotional breakdown that starts with a teary eyed, “I’ve peed alone my whole life?” Check. Fun, only slightly-dated popular culture references that also serve as character analysis? “Annie also […]
For most of tonight’s episode, the mummified motif present in our case of the week (which, despite being set at the Jeffersonian and involving mummies and international intrigue, seemed even more trivial than the past few weeks’) seemed overly appropriate. The whole “Brennan dates someone else” plot line seemed sort of ridiculous two seasons ago; […]
You have no idea how relieved I am to be typing this: I REALLY enjoyed tonight’s Bones. Don’t get me wrong, it was by no means a perfect episode (the 007-ness was a bit hoaky for me), but it made me happy. The final Booth/Brennan scene almost made up for all of the push and […]

HIMYM is home to me, and the season premier didn’t disappoint in bringing me back there. Every time Barney and Robin did their […]
I wish I could say that the Bones premier erased all my doubts about that damn finale. I really wanted it to. I feel like all I do of late is hate on this show, which is sad, because it’s probably the show that I am the most invested in. I think my number one problem […]
The Office Sometimes, The Office is just so pitch-perfect that it shocks me. Tonight’s premier episode comfortably, brilliantly straddled the line between Michael’s awkward neediness, Jim and Pam’s happiness, and the rest of the cast’s quirks in a way that at once re-introduced us to our friends at Dunder Mifflin and made us wonder how […]
I am a sucker for both Vampires and Teen shows. I accept this. I also love everything about Dawson’s Creek and Scream. Okay. So, Vampire Diariesis probably the perfect show for me. That being said, the pilot didn’t make me go all wobbly (and this from a girl who last night waxed rhapsodic about Ten […]
