In a tumultuous week right before its season five finale aired, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was unceremoniously cancelled by Fox… and then, a few days later, miraculously resurrected by NBC who announced that they’d be picking up the show for a thirteen-episode sixth season. Huzz
Josh Reviews Silicon Valley Season Five!
I was somewhat late to the party with Silicon Valley, but I loved the show when I started watching it last year, and I quickly devoured the first four seasons. I was so happy that I didn’t have too long to wait before season five. As the season begins, the Pied Piper gang ar
Josh Reviews The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling
I’ve been a huge fan of Garry Shandling for as long as I can remember. Mr. Shandling was a genius-level stand-up comedian, and he masterminded two of the greatest television shows ever made: It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Larry Sanders Show. It was Larry San

Josh Looks Back on Star Trek: Discovery Season One
I have been thinking a lot about Star Trek: Discovery since the series wrapped up several weeks ago, and I have been having a lot of spirited conversations about the show with my fellow Trek fans. There is quite a range of opinions about the show among the Trek fans that I know. I
