Review 2.4 “Cult; Perfect Body”

Best Episode of the Season: Kroll Show Season 3

KrollKaraokeBullies

“Karaoke Bullies”
This is the sort of episode that would not make any sense to a first-time viewer. But I would guess that it would still manage to be amusing, nonetheless. In its unrelenting specificity, it achieves comedy gold. Jenny Slate melts hearts as Niece Denise attempts to sing Bryan La Croix songs uninterrupted. Nash Rickey confuses “karaoke” with “karate.” Masterful impressions of basketball players and Kelsey Grammer intersect. And “Pawnsylvania” returns to deliver regionalisms and pun-based misunderstandings.

Rick and Morty 2.4: “Total Rickall”

Frankenstein (actually, Frankenstein’s monster) was on the wrong side of the pitchfork on this one. Don’t make his mistake. http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2015/08/17/rick-and-morty-season-2-episode-4-reca

What Won TV? – August 9-August 15, 2015

Leave a comment

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.

RickAndMortyCommunity

Sunday – Rick and Morty
Monday – Whose Line is it Anyway?
Tuesday – Total dominance on Hollywood Game Night
Wednesday – Mr. Robot
Thursday – I was all set to pick Review every Thursday, but then Comedy Bang! Bang! had to go and pull a one-shot trick, and Rectify had to have an awesome season, and The Chris Gethard Show had to have a wonderful finale.
Friday – I watched the first part of the rerun of Day 2 of the final of the 2014 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions.
Saturday – Hannibal

I listened to Currents. It’s pretty good. This is my favorite track.

Best Episode of the Season: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 10

SunnyCharlieWork

Charlie Work”
The health inspector is on her way, and with the help of a one-shot conceit, the Paddy’s crew passes with flying colors! Despite airing a few months after the release of Birdman, Sunny came to the no-cut gimmick independently. Sometimes, the same inspiration is percolating the creative atmosphere at large, and the result is multiple cases of exhilaration. Also, Charlie takes charge and manages a hard-fought, gratifying win.

Best Episode of the Season: Comedy Bang! Bang! Season 3

“Josh Groban Wears a Suit and Striped Socks”
Scott gets conked on the head and quantum leaps into the 60’s into the body of Sullivan Hunchy, CB!B!’s version of Ed Sullivan. While he works to give Jimick Wattersmith (Reggie’s dad) a shot at the big time, the show must go on! Josh Groban stops by and proves to have an affable presence perfectly suited for Bang-in’. Josh Fadem absolutely nails the role of plate-spinning hypnotist, and CB!B! producer Neil Campbell even gets some screen time as Charlie Mills (think about it).
