In “Home Sweet Home,” Hank wakes up from his accidental overdose in the hospital with a pumped stomach and a condescending doctor breathing down his throat. “Guess what asshole?” his doctor snidely barks at Hanks. “There’s no such thing as a good looking corpse.” But after a rude awakening, Karen shows up sympathetically at Hank’s hospital bedside, much to the Hank’s surprise, and takes him back to their humble abode....  read more

Shameless Review (Season 1, Episode 3)

By Tim Basham at 9:32 AM on January 24, 2011

The Gallagher family is really just a twisted adaptation of the 1950’s TV family like the Cleavers or the Andersons. In this new version it’s a world where the sweet housewife (sans husband) is an S & M agoraphobic, where “The Beaver” melts action figures with toasters and where Princess initiates sex on the first date....  read more

Ricky Gervais Show Review: "Doppelganger" (2.2)

By Sean Gandert at 12:20 PM on January 22, 2011

Anyone who first tunes into The Ricky Gervais Show without knowing anything about it is due for a pretty big shock. Even if you’’re aware that it’s adapted from a series of podcasts, being a fan of The Office or Extras does little to prepare you for Karl Pilkington. It’s not that he’s just around, like Merchant, it’s that Karl’s actually the focus of things and Ricky’s largely peripheral to what happens. Oh, he’s valuable to the show in a number of important ways, but The Ricky Gervais Show is first and foremost about Karl, who’s what sets the show...  read more

Community Review: "Asian Population Studies" (2.12)

By Sean Gandert at 11:45 AM on January 21, 2011

The elastic reality of Community feels more akin to animated sit-coms, and not just because it had a recent episode that was entirely animated. But while the show’s reputation is largely built on a solid sit-com foundation, it’s also dedicated to moving its cast forward as characters and not just spinning its wheels for episode after episode. That’s one of the most unique parts of the show, and while The Office may have personnel changes or relationship drama, ultimately its characters are the same week in and week out....  read more

Parks and Recreation Review: Season 3 Premiere

By Nick Purdy at 11:35 PM on January 20, 2011

I went on record a year ago with the kinda controversial opinion that Amy Poehler’s Parks and Recreation had surpassed the already venerable 30 Rock (Community is now the best of the bunch, but that’s another story). This was roughly akin to my other 2010 declaration of the superiority of Five Guys’ burgers over In-N-Out’s. I’m sticking with both declarations, though the mid-season (finally!) premiere of the third season of Parks and Rec didn’t necessarily drive the point home....  read more

The Office Review: "Ultimatum" (Episode 7.12)

By Bonnie Stiernberg at 11:17 PM on January 20, 2011

Sometimes, the resolutions we don’t make are just as important as the ones we break. After all, what we see as an attainable goal doesn’t always align with what we’re actually capable of achieving. Case in point: this week’s Office....  read more
