The New Normal: "Obama Mama" (Episode 1.04)
The New Normal is a deceptive show, one that touts itself as open to all kinds of people, yet on the inside, openly mocks people who are actually different.

Alcatraz: "Webb Porter" (Episode 1.11)
When watching _Alcatraz_, I like my criminals as weird as possible. I don’t mind the occasional bank robber or innocent guard, but I’m always more keen to a crazed man sniping women at an amusement park or a mixologist poisoning rude people at a country club. “Webb Porter” is probably one of our creepiest criminals thus far and ushers in another pretty good episode before the season, and… → Read More

Archer Review: "Space Race: Part 1" (Episode 1.12)
Reviewing the first part of a two-part episode usually can have its problems. You have all the action building and building, then you have to wait till next week. Imagine watching _Titanic_, then leaving when the ship hits the iceberg; you’re only getting half of the story. But as _Archer_ has shown time and time again, they know exactly how to handle a multiple-part episode and do it well. Not… → Read More
