30 Rock back episodes: Autdition Day and Stone Mountain
Audition Day A This show was just cooky anarchy as Tracy and Jenna were recuriting gay and black people off the street, Brian Williams got in on the act, and more hijinks ensued. It was one single premise pushed to extremes: Open the auditions to one new person and the flodgates will come ...

Community: Intro to Debate
Intro to Debate….B- Of the three sup-plots this week, none of them entirely worked out for me so it’s hard to put this anywhere in the B range, but collectively the episode had enough moments, particularly a climax in the debate where the hot shot debater in the wheelchair does something ...

Community Backlog: Home Economics and Statistics
Home Economics B+ Pierce trying to mingle with the young people as a savant of sorts is mildly amusing, you have to admit. Again, the plot wasn’t too Jeff-Britta heavy and when it was it wasn’t even a will-they or won’t-they issue, although it was funny how Abed approached it so directly. You ...

Greg Pikitis: B The major strength of this episode was that every character had a moment or two that was funny. The creepy attraction of Tom towards Anne has been played out for laughs from episode one and it’s still effective here. Anne pretty much tolerates Tom but obviously finds him ...

30 Rock review: Problem Solvers
30 Rock: The Problem Solvers C+ I would call this the weakest episode of the season on the basis that two of the subplots didn’t work and the main plot was devoid of funniness. I’ve written on a few occasions that the show’s writers posses godlike levels of talent in terms of dialogue and ...

Review of last two Parks and Recreation Episodes
Mural: B- This week in which both the office and Parks were very slowed-down episodes where nothing really happened in terms of character development (I don’t consider impending bankruptcy much because I don’t believe it will amount to anything serious on the Office). This wasn’t too much of an ...
