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.

Sunday – Masters of Sex
Monday – Rick and Morty is looking good.
Tuesday – Awkward.
Wednesday – Arrow!
Thursday – The Eric André Show
Friday – Comedy Bang! Bang!, but again, The Neighbors and The Birthday Boys were great, too.
Saturday – Since SNL is winning this night by default nowadays, I feel compelled to point out something specific: so Drunk Uncle came back, and he’ll never be a royal.
