The New Normal Review: "Dairy Queen" (Episode 1.15)
Surely, there’s a better way that The New Normal could have handled breast-feeding than how it did in “Dairy Queen.” It’s clumsy, over-the-top and silly in all the wrong ways. If Jane is the strongest part of the episode, that should be a surefire way to tell something might be wrong. read more

“So You Don’t Want to Dance” isn’t 1600 Penn at the best it could be, as least I hope not, but it’s headed that way. The more these characters are fleshed out, the more intriguing the show becomes, even if Skip is still frustrating and one of the show’s main focal points. Like Skip, 1600 Penn is doing the best it can, but it still stumbles quite a lot in it’s approach to do so. read more
