30 ROCK: Jackie Jormp-Jomp

“I’m back, nerds!” And not a moment too soon. While I enjoy seeing all the, um, “colors” of Liz Lemon’s home life, I really do prefer it when they keep her locked up in the office with the usual bunch of bananas. Of course she would fall in with a band of bored, privileged divorcees […]

BONES: The Cinderella in the Cardboard

Gosh, Daisy is annoying. She just is. Sweets can do better I think. Even though her character is kind of funny, and Carla Gallo is divine as an actress, I still cringe every time she is on screen. It was almost enough to distract me from the MOST DISGUSTING CORPSE in BONES history. Dis. Gusting. […]

HOUSE: Saviors

Last week, I predicted that Dr. Kutner’s unexpected suicide would force his colleagues to move forward and tackle big decisions in their personal and professional lives. Though the show’s producers were criticized for orchestrating Kal Penn’s exit from the show in a somewhat illogical fashion, their first chance to reset the ensemble cast in the […]

CHUCK vs. The First Kill

SHUT UP AGAIN. Seriously, when did this show get SO GOOD? I don’t even know where to start. This week was basically an episode about trust, which worked really well at making the spy plot and the Buy More plot complement each other. Plus, it added some tension to the episode for me—when it turned […]

CASTLE: Always Buy Retail

Instead of focusing on the week’s murder mystery, last night’s episode was strictly about Castle and his past relationship with his first ex-wife, Meredith. While there was an interesting spin on the Nigerian religious killings that had to do with knockoffs on Canal Street, Aldis Hodge (“Leverage”) and symbolic images from the Vudon religion that […]

24 Debrief: Day 7 | 1:00 am-2:00 am

It was a big episode this week and let’s get started. Debrief President Taylor told everyone that the reason she cancelled the air attack against Starkwood was that she didn’t have enough intel. While in Starkwood, Tony confirms that Hodges has missiles and is ready to launch them. Jack tells Taylor that Tony can go […]

CHUCK Superlatives Part Deux: Poll

I’m bringing polling back! Yeah, that’s right, sung to the tune of “Sexy Back”. Since we had so much fun with it earlier in Chuck Week, it just makes sense to bring polling back in anticipation of tonight’s episode. Remember—eyeballs on the screen! Please do everything you can to watch live and spread the word! […]

BONES: The Science in the Physicist

Thank you, Milton. Thank you, Jennifer! If I spoke Latin, I’d say this episode was magnificus. I laughed a lot, like season one and season two laughs (ie: Zack: Sometime, when you’re not busy, I wonder if I could ask you a few questions about sexual positions? Booth: If you even try, I will take […]

PARKS AND RECREATION: Erik’s Take

So please to announce that Erik will be handling all PARKS AND RECREATION news and reviews for GMMR this year.  Thanks Erik! In order to generate a wide audience for Parks & Recreation’s maiden voyage, NBC fired all the weapons in its promotional arsenal. For the past few weeks, it has been impossible to avoid […]

30 ROCK: Cutbacks

I don’t expect “Cutbacks” would hold up very well under scrutiny, but life is hard and I laughed like hell, so I won’t look any deeper than that. Also, did you know they sell Sabor de Soledad T-shirts at the NBC Store? You can stuff that little tip right in the ol’ Easter basket along […]

Top 5 CHUCK Episodes…So Far

Man, you guys! There have been so many really great episodes of Chuck that this was a hard list to put together! I know that everyone is going to have different faves and I can’t wait to hear what yours are in the comments. You’ll notice that all of mine come from Season Two, which […]

HOUSE: Simple Explanation

Television, at its best, can provoke howls of laughter or tears of sadness from the loyal viewers who come back each week to their favorite shows. That emotional investment is one of the key provisions of the bargain we strike with the writers, directors, actors, and other players who bring those programs into our living […]

CHUCK vs. The Dream Job

Hey guys! Thanks to everyone who participated in the live chat last night! It was so fun, and I LOVE community TV watching. But please please please be sure to join in the discussion in the comments! Even if you usually lurk, please come out of the woodwork. This is the week where we all […]

24 Debrief: Day 7 | 12:00 am-1:00 am

Well, we had a hilarious/awesome episode this week, but before we get started, I want to talk a little bit about “Chuck” in honor of “Chuck Week” here at GMMR. So, if you’re tired of the “Chuck” rhetoric, skip down to the Debrief. “24” and “Chuck” have a lot in common. They’re both about spies […]

KINGS: Insurrection

I know that I said from the beginning that I loved KINGS and was very angry when it got low ratings. “Insurrection” was an excellent indication as to why, so I’m kind of expecting that when the ratings come out tomorrow and they’re horribly low that I will throw things. Preferably things that break, to […]
