“New Normal” Nixed

Posted on 11/05/2013 by

Sad news from the NBC upfronts: Fledgling sitcom The New Normal won’t be returning for a second season, thanks to low ratings and a general lack of critical interest. Admittedly, I thought the show took a while to settle down … Continue reading →

Dharma’s Initiative

Posted on 27/04/2013 by

I recently picked up the first season boxset of Dharma & Greg, so I could revisit the story of an upright, uptight young lawyer who falls madly in love with a carefree, chaotic dog-walker/yoga instructor. They first encounter each other, briefly, … Continue reading →

Heart of Goldie

Posted on 04/04/2013 by

Although I was predisposed to appreciate a sitcom about a happy, successful gay couple deciding to start a family, Ryan Murphy and Ali Adler’s The New Normal did not get off to an especially auspicious start. The pilot hurtled through the search … Continue reading →

Posted on 14/03/2013 by

[Contains erotic undead SPOILERS] There hasn’t been much else to watch over lunch lately, so I’ve been powering through the second season of Bob’s Burgers… which I think was even funnier than the previous season, thanks (in part) to the … Continue reading →

“Shut Your Mouth, It’s Art Crawl!”

Posted on 03/03/2013 by

I am an idiot… of that there can be no doubt. To date there have been three seasons of Bob’s Burgers produced, at least one of which was broadcast over here in Britland on E4… and yet, despite having a … Continue reading →

Quasi-PunkWatch: Kolivia Taylor Dudley

Posted on 27/02/2013 by

Watching this week’s episode of The Mindy Project (1.16) , I couldn’t help being distracted by the toothsome tattoo artist who was inking up special guest star Seth Rogen’s shoulder. It was such a fleeting appearance I wouldn’t normally consider … Continue reading →
