Parks and Recreation ends its seven season run on Tuesday night, which means that we are losing one of the greatest, funniest, and warmest sitcoms to ever grace our television screens. I remember first seeing previews for the show all those years ago and thinking, “well that’s not gonna be very good. It’s just an Office rip...

Sunday brings the highly-anticipated (I suppose) premiere of AMC’s Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul. When this idea was first brought up by Vince Gilligan a few years ago, I almost wet myself I was so excited. Bob Odenkirk’s Saul Goodman was one of the many highlights of Breaking Bad. He injected some much...

There has always been an abundance of crime dramas on TV, both here and across the pond. Most are episodic procedurals that focus on lazy cases of the week and have zero regard for character development or genuine suspense. That’s right, I’m talking about you CSI: Computer Crime Stuff or whatever the hell you’re...

This week, Marvel premiered something very special. No, not the Ant-Man trailer. That was fun and all but the studio really struck gold with the two hour premiere of Agent Carter. I have to admit, I didn’t have high hopes for it. Marvel’s other TV show, Agents of SHIELD didn’t exactly set the world on fire. I know, I...

It’s been a good year for TV. Breaking Bad is gone but there were more than a few shows willing to fill the gap. And now it’s time to talk about them. I worked long and hard and crunched a lot of numbers to come up with my top ten list even though my number...

Sometimes I wish I had been alive when The Twilight Zone was first airing on TV. Sure, many people my age spent more than a few holiday weekends marathoning episodes of Rod Serling’s groundbreaking program but can you imagine what it actually would have been like to have that show as a weekly event? To not...

Yesterday it was announced that Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are finally resurrecting the horror genre’s most bumbling and idiotic hero. Fans of The Evil Dead franchise have been clamoring for Ash’s return for years and Raimi and Campbell kept promising we hadn’t seen the last of him. How would they bring him back was...

Perhaps it’s just the fact that so many American shows (cough…cough…Gotham) are utter shit-garbage but it seems to me that most British shows are a lot more interesting than much of what we have to offer. Granted, this could easily be because we only hear of the great British TV programs. They probably have...

Like everybody else in the world, I watch The Walking Dead but my relationship with the show has often been troubled. It’s like a friend who did something unforgiveable only to apologize and make up for it a few years later. I may accept him as my friend again, but I’ll always watch him...

It’s a question I ask myself every time I sit down to watch an episode of this utterly insane show. I keep waiting for Sleepy Hollow to falter, for it to go just one step too far down the road to Crazy Town, but it never does. Or at least hasn’t yet. After the...
