Donald Trump's "SNL" Episode Highlights the Show's Recent Downfall
Donald Trump’s “SNL” Episode Highlights the Show’s Recent Downfall
The highly-discussed and anticipated Donald Trump episode of “Saturday Night Live” represented a great opportunity for the show to come out swinging and show viewers, both old and new, that the show is still worthwhile. Instead, it may have made a case for its desperate need of a massive overhaul. The show approached the Donald Trump episode, on which the man himself appeared no more than 15…

The Ballad of Kenneth Parcell
Of all of the characters in the “30 Rock” universe, Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”) certainly has the most fascinating backstory. Originally simply a hyper-modest, folksy NBC page, by the end of the series (spoiler alert, also why have you not seen 30 Rock?) he has become an immortal being who will serve as head of NBC presumably forever. In this post, I’ll break…

"Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers" - Review
“Anthony Jeselnik: Thoughts and Prayers” – Review
Anthony Jeselnik is back, and he’s as unapologetic as ever in his new Netflix stand-up special, “Thoughts and Prayers”. The special marks Jeselnik’s first televised stand-up show since the end of his Comedy Central series, “The Jeselnik Offensive.” Anthony Jeselnik is very much a comedian you have to either love or hate (or of course, just have never heard of). His jokes are meant to challenge…

"The Walking Dead - JSS" Recap & Review
“The Walking Dead – JSS” Recap & Review
This week, “The Walking Dead” made up for its mess of a season premiere with a strong second episode, which has pretty much become the predominant trend for the show in its past few seasons. Tonight, we (finally) tackle the arrival of the Wolves, and we address the differences between Rick’s gang and Morgan concerning how to deal with human threats. First, let’s address Carl’s girlfriend, who is…

"The Walking Dead" - "First Time Again"
“The Walking Dead” – “First Time Again”
Yikes. “The Walking Dead” is back, and it brings with it an absurdly obnoxious structure for its season premiere. We join the gang as they attempt to solve their walker overload problem, and for some reason, Scott Gimple and his team opted to tell the story through a series of disorganized zig-zags between flashbacks and live action. It’s a format that would be hard to maintain even for the usual…

ABC Family Will Finally Drop the "Family"
ABC Family Will Finally Drop the “Family”
At the start of next year, the vaguely-popular cable network “ABC Family” will be no more. Well, sort of. In actuality, the network is re-branding under the name “Freeform”. The rebrand is aimed at focusing in on the demographic the network has been going after for the past decade: adolescents, especially adolescent girls. The “Family” designation attached to the channel has been long outdated.…

The New American Dream, as Told Through Liz Lemon of "30 Rock"
The American dream has changed. I explain it, in terms of Liz Lemon from "30 Rock"
Once upon a time, the “American Dream” was simple. We wanted to start from the bottom and work to the very top, find a career we love that pays us well, find the love of our lives by maybe 30 at the latest, have 2.5 kids and a picket fence like everyone else. That “dream”, however, has become just that. Starting from the bottom only leaves us fighting to not ever fall back down to the bottom.…

"The Daily Show with Trevor Noah": Continuing the War on Bullshit
Trevor Noah makes a strong debut on "The Daily Show", promising to continue the War on Bullshit
“The Daily Show” is back, and for the first time since December 1998, someone other than Jon Stewart is the permanent host. There has been much discussion of how new host Trevor Noah will fare in regards to filling the shoes of a modern-day broadcasting legend. Tonight, we got our first taste of “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah”. The most immediately noticeable differences are the aesthetics; the…

"Scandal" Premiere Review: Usual Twists, Liv-Fitz, and Diana Conspiracy Theories
"Scandal" returns to take on Princess Diana conspiracy theory, Liv-Fitz
Oh, “Scandal”. You really must credit Shonda Rhimes and her team. Never before has a show been so consistently absurd, over-the-top, disorganized, and just altogether a complete trainwreck… and yet still been impossible to stop watching. We rejoin the show to begin its fifth season, and it’s still as “Scandal”-y as ever. All the classic ingredients are here: Liv and Fitz, a riff on a popular…

"the muppets." - Pig Girls Don't Cry (Pilot)
"the muppets." shows promise in its hit-or-miss pilot
Adaptations are tricky. You want to engage those who love the previous iterations of your characters and their stories, while also being accessible to a new audience. It may take time to find that voice, but so often in today’s crowded television landscape that time simply doesn’t exist. I watched The Muppets when I was little, but remember very little about them. I recognized the characters, and…

Uninspired Casting/Acting Holding Back "Fear the Walking Dead"?
Uninspired Casting/Acting Holding Back “Fear the Walking Dead”?
There’s a moment in the third episode of “Fear the Walking Dead” that really sums up the key problem with the show. A man shoots a walker and blows his head off. This represents the first time anyone in the room has seen such a gratuitous display of gore and violence, so naturally when we pan out to the character reaction shots, they look… bored? The main story in “Fear the Walking Dead” is…

The League / "The Draft of Innocence": What the hell just happened?
The League / “The Draft of Innocence”: What the hell just happened?
This week’s episode of The League, “The Draft of Innocence”, proceeds as a normal episode until suddenly shit gets weird. The grade is relatively arbitrary; I genuinely can’t decide if it was a good episode or not. But nonetheless… Let’s go ahead and dive right in. The Good Russell (Rob Huebel) is back! He supposedly has reigned in the sex addiction once again, but it seems that cheese is his…

Shows "The Splat" Should Bring Back
"The Splat" is bringing back 90s Nick shows - but which ones should it show?
It was recently announced that Nickelodeon is in the process of preparing a new television network, to be known as “The Splat”, which will host various classic 90s hits from its parent network. Details have yet to emerge; a rumored launch date is set for October, but still no news just yet about potential programming. I decided to go ahead and take a look at some shows they should definitely put…

Why We All Love "Meta" Humor
Why do we love meta shows so much? I investigate, you decide
Whenever a show makes a joke referencing itself, fans go crazy. Shows like Community formed their entire reputation off of self-referential humor. But what is it about being “meta” that viewers love so much? Breaking the Wall One reason we love “meta” moments is that it breaks the inherent artifice of the medium. We know we are watching television, the people making the show know we are watching,…
