Best and worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst in the past week of TV, as well as a sneak peek at what’s to come. Highlights 1. “Gossip Girl.” And so ends my first season as an inexplicable fan of this show. The finale offered mysteries (Is Serena too cool to wear a graduation cap?), fakeouts (Eric’s boyfriend Jonathan as Gossip Girl? Nahh.), cliffhangers (Blair and Georgina NYU dorm-mates?!?) and shockers (Chuck … Read More »

Party’s over for year’s best new comedy

by TV

“Surviving Suburbia” was terrible. “Parks and Recreation” had potential but wasn’t quite there. “Better Off Ted” was the funniest new thing on the networks. But for my money, Starz’s “Party Down” took the prize for best new comedy of the year. The wry, often subtle, more often profanely hilarious show about wannabe actors working at a catering company had the best ensemble cast this side of “30 Rock,” and consistently delivered … Read More »

Best, worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst of the past week on TV, and a look ahead to what’s coming up. Highlights 1. “The Office.” It may have been Michael Scott’s finest hour. With his fledgling company on the verge of utter failure, he managed to negotiate a deal to get bought out by Dunder-Mifflin, plus get his old job back, plus get Pam and Ryan hired back too. And … Read More »

Best, worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst of the past week on TV, and a look ahead to what’s coming up. Highlights 1. “Rescue Me.” Taking a break from the bleak and grim, they turned out what was probably the single funniest episode in the series. And still had time for scenes of heartbreaking sadness and a dramatic rescue. I love this show. 2. “Lost.” It was only a couple of lines, … Read More »

Best, worst of the past week

by TV

A look back at the best and worst of the past week on TV, and a look ahead to what’s coming up. Highlights 1. The last five minutes of “Lost.” It was a kinda slow, uneventful episode that didn’t raise or answer many questions. One of those setting-the-stage episodes. Until the last scene. It’s not every day you see a supposed good guy shoot a child and be pretty much justified in … Read More »
