Community - "Digital Exploration of Interior Design"
[Review based on "Urban Matrimony and the Sandwich Arts" (3.11), "Contemporary Impressionists" (3.12) and "Digital Exploration of Interior Design" (3.13). Also, I'm trying a new format for this review where I separate my commentary by...
Short Hiatus
I'll be on hiatus for the next couple weeks as I'll be traveling. I won't be able to watch or review my normal television shows so there will be no posts during this time.
Parks & Recreation - "Dave Returns"
[Review based on "Bowling for Votes" (4.13),"Operation Ann" (4.14) and "Dave Returns" (4.15)] With Louis C.K. returning to Parks this week as Leslie's former beau Dave, we were guaranteed some awkward moments. While I'm not sure this episode...
TV's Best Title Sequences
In response to Allen's post about the best TV opening sequences (over at It's Primetime Somewhere), I made a list of my favorite title sequences. The best openings set the mood for the show, often featuring distinctive visuals or a catchy theme...
Happy Endings - "Everybody Loves Grant"

As far as origin stories go, Chairlift's is pretty unique: the band came together in 2005 to create live music for haunted houses. In 2006, the band outgrew their original aspirations and moved to New York. After the departure of founding...
54th Grammys

Happy Endings - "The St. Valentine's Day Maxssacre"
[Review based on "Meat the Parrots" (2.11), "Makin' Changes!" (2.12) & "The St. Valentine's Day Maxssacre" (2.13).] After a 3-week break, Happy Endings returns and makes use of the small hiatus to mark a new direction. Following a small arc of...
Music Review Methodology
[Before starting my television reviews, I wrote a post outlining how my television reviews would work. Since my music reviews will have a different focus and goal, I wrote this post to explain what you can expect.] Music criticism tends to...
