Author Anne Rice is arguably the premier vampire storyteller of.. our age? all time? of dollar paperback tables all around NYC’s Greenwich Village? All of those definitions point to the truth that any screen adaptation of her work will be an event. And here we … Continue reading What To Watch: 01/08/2022

The Simpsons leads off a night … Continue reading What To Watch: 09/26/2021
#1 Cheers vs. #16 Home Movies While everybody surely knew the favorite’s name–and its squigglyvisioned nemesis is far from a household name–this was the closest so far of the 1-16 matches. Outside of Bob’s Burgers, H. Jon Benjamin has not had the greatest of luck in … Continue reading Comedy TV March Madness in April+: Here’s the Winners of Section F!
If you thought Section E had some evil matchups, I can’t help but feel you will not be relieved with this group of 16. Personally, I have multiple beloved shows up against each other, even the 2-15 matchup pits my current favorite against a show … Continue reading Gimme an F! Our Comedy Half-Hour March Madness in April+ Drops Another Eight Matchups of the Outstanding 128!
A certain Gervais is back on the podium, so you can bet there’ll be some viral content on the Golden Globes, and not about who won or lost. Also, most of what Fox once called (and may still call) Animation Domination returns for a stab … Continue reading What To Watch: 01/05/2020
One of the most enduring nights of television — including the longest running show in history — returns tonight, and what more is there to say as The Simpsons deals with the big 3-0 with the (alleged) near-death experience of its original iconic character, which leads to … Continue reading What to Watch: 09/30/2018
May’s winding down of television seasons is about to itself wind down, with four long-running Fox comedies saying goodnight for the season (and in one case for its last time on the network), and our editors recommend one of them (but wish no SPECIFIC harm … Continue reading What to Watch: 05/20/2018
It’s time to go back to that Disneyland for Awful People; Westworld is HBO’s latest addition to its Best-Of-All-Time canon and as Anthony Hopkins apparently exits stage right (for now), we welcome a craven new world to the land of androids and sociopaths. As it’s Sunday, your … Continue reading What to Watch: 04/22/2018
While the Law (Jude Law) is coming to HBO as a lascivious pontiff and the NFL playoffs have a surprise primetime game tonight, neither is a choice of our editors chiming in on this January Sunday. We’re going with classic characters both old and relatively … Continue reading What to Watch: 01/15/2017
It’s animation dominating this Sunday, including our highlighted top show in the history of manKIIIIIIND! Yes, The Simpsons returns for its record-exploding 28th season, with Mr. Burns at the center. But we also have Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, and the newest addition Son of Zorn.
KATHERINE’S PICK:
The Simpsons [FOX, 8p]
In the season 28 premiere Springfield burns, causing Mr. Burns to put on a variety show as part of his repayment. We learned last season that Lisa was meant for the stage, nudge nudge, Fox.
NAVANI’S PICK:
Son of Zorn [Fox, 8:30p]
It’s the first “official” episode of the mixed-medium program, and with Bill Hader voicing our He-Man, and Cheryl Hines and Tim Meadows helming the human side, we should be alright.
JASON’S PICK:
Bob’s Burgers [Fox, 7:30p]
This may be the first time we’ve all chosen shows from the same network. In any case, I am a sucker for both a flu storyline and for anything involving Kristin Schaal’s Louise Belcher, and Bob’s Burgers has a combo of both in its seventh season premiere, so it’s golden.
