One of the questions that has lingered in my mind since the beginning of Mad Men was how the show would handle the JFK assassination, arguably the biggest news story of the decade. Now that the event has come to pass, I am pleased that the creative forces behind the show tackled the subject matter [...]

Perky, endearing protagonist Betty Suarez is back for season four, decked in even wackier ensembles (only Betty could pull off the combination of teal, fuchsia, bright yellow and aubergine) and faced with new challenges at the ever-snide fashion enterprise, Mode magazine. In episode three, Betty struggles with the increased workload of her recent promotion [...]

Liz Lemon may never learn that hygiene matters. This week’s episode opened with her curiously sniffing her pits, lifting up her shirt and nonchalantly attempting to use a scented candle as deodorant. But her complete disregard for personal upkeep is more than okay; after all it is one of the reasons people watch week after [...]

This week’s House episode opened with two police officers chasing an acrobatic, parkour-esque perp, who eludes them by climbing up pipes and jumping across buldings. When one of the cops twists his ankle, the other continues the chase, attempting to follow the criminal across a gap in between two buildings. Unfortunately, he misjudges the distance [...]

At the conclusion of this week’s episode of Mad Men, a friend of mine turned to me and said sarcastically, “Well, we found out that Sterling-Cooper is being sold…again.” While I don’t think this week’s episode was completely devoid of interesting events, it definitely felt a little deflated. But this episode certainly wasn’t pointless, as [...]

In this episode:
Like last week’s episode, the study group is fragmented into separate storylines, each involving a few of the main characters. Jeff agrees to “represent” Britta in a satirical tribunal after she is caught cheating by their creepy Spanish teacher.
Jeff overly “friendly” flirting with his crush persists throughout their [...]

Summary
It was on in this episode. Sue and Will fought over the club, fought with each other in front of the club, and even fought in their voice overs. Thanks to Jacob Ben Israel — the awkwardly hormonal “journalist” creepily obsessed with Rachel — Sue now knows that Quinn is pregnant, so Quinn’s cheerleading [...]

Three episodes into its run, The Good Wife, the latest CBS courtroom drama, is only warming up. Starring ER’s Julianna Margulies as Alicia Florrick, a wronged housewife forced to return to work as an attorney after many years out of the courtroom, Wife cleverly incorporates the struggles of the Florrick family into the tried and [...]

It takes a lot to out-creep Creed. His look during Michael’s speech about Pam’s pregnancy was pure ick. Only Michael could beat the master at his game.
I should’ve known Jim’s adorable speech from the previews would be ruined. I just didn’t expect Jim to do the ruining. I understand the Jim-turning-into-Michael plotline, but I kind [...]

This week’s House took a step back from the usual focus on House’s biting wit and diagnostic brilliance and instead dove headfirst into the world of morality, shoving the medical mysteries to the back seat. The episode was, for the most part, focused on how the various faces of the diagnostics crew grappled with the [...]

Mad Men has really been experimenting with its own formula lately. Last weekend found the show adopting a nonlinear formula; this week saw almost every major character on the show (yes, even Don Draper to a certain extent) pushed to the periphery to make way for a focus on Betty and Pete. Furthermore, the show [...]

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS.
This episode was pretty uneventful – I thought that we were kind of done with filler episodes, but I guess not – this episode just filled us in on what the Left-Behinders (Sawyer, Juliet, etc.) had been doing for [...]
