Television, What Won TV?
In this feature, I look back at each day of the past week and determine what shows “won TV” for the night. That is, I consider every episode of television I watched that aired on a particular day and declare which was the best.
Sunday – I don’t need too much personal space when watching Rick and Morty.
Monday – Gravity Falls
Tuesday – Don’t worry – The Muppets is looking pretty good so far.
Wednesday – You’re the Worst
Thursday – Review (RIP Clovers), but a very special honorable mention to a heartwarming Documentary Now! season finale.
Friday – Jeopardy! with the beginnings of a potential big-time champ
Saturday – Doctor Who

Man Seeking Woman, Television
Man Seeking Woman, Teacup
“Teacup”
Man Seeking Woman switches protagonists for an episode, getting into Liz’s headspace instead of Josh’s. Her perspective on her life and relationships is not so put together as the version of herself she presents to everyone. Interestingly enough, her headspace is just as surreal as her brother’s, but more low-key. Man Seeking Woman catches some flak for misogynistic insensitivity (although that is kind of the point, as the main character is not the most respectable when it comes to relationships, and this is all from his perspective). “Teacup” counteracts that by offering a profoundly more empathetic version of its top-billed female, and in turn women in general. Britt Lower is just heartbreaking as the kindhearted, but careworn Liz.

Television, What Won TV?
In this feature, I look back at each day of the past week and determine what shows “won TV” for the night. That is, I consider every episode of television I watched that aired on a particular day and declare which was the best.
Sunday – Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
Monday – The Mindy Project (This post originally selected Whose Line is it Anyway? for Monday, which was good, but Mindy was better; I just forgot to include Mindy.) [Second EDIT: The Mindy Project actually started streaming on Tuesday. For some reason, I thought it was Monday. It should have won Tuesday, and Whose Line can go back to having won Monday.]
Tuesday – Drunk History
Wednesday – You’re the Worst
Thursday – Review, even if it kills him, indeed.
Friday – Jeopardy!
Saturday – The Creative Arts Emmys
