Obviously Awesome

I try not to get too excited about forthcoming shows and films when they’re first mooted, because “Que Sera, Sera”… but when I read that actress Jenny Slate and writer/director Gillian Robespierre (of Obvious Child fame) were reuniting to produce … Continue reading

“… And Jazzy Jeff!”

Ari Graynor made a guest appearance on Garfunkel and Oates this week*, moving me to write about a show that I’ve been feeling fairly apathetic about up until now. As far as sitcoms about musical-comedy-duos go, I think G&O comes … Continue reading

Bad TV, Great T&A (Climax!)

[Contains SPOILERS… though I’m not sure why anyone would care at this point…] The televisual version of Bad Teacher was cancelled after just three episodes, and officially removed from the schedules back in May… but CBS have been burning off … Continue reading

Too Bad (Better To Come?)

In last week’s episode of Bad Teacher, the characters found themselves facing a teacher-evaluation day, with the threat of budget-tightening redundancies hanging over their heads. They all managed to pass muster and hang on to their jobs (phew!)… but the … Continue reading

Punch Up

As far as comedies about irresponsible educators go, Bad Teacher (2011) doesn’t even come close to the gold standard set by such classics as Summer School (1987) and School of Rock (2003). The jokes aren’t funny, the (anti)heroine’s redemption is half-hearted at best, and … Continue reading

Follow The Bunny
