Farewell, Michael Scott
For seasons 2-4, I thought the American version of The Office was one of the funniest shows on television — hitting near genius-level comedy with extreme regularity week-to-week. Things started to slide a bit during season 5, and I thought the last several years have been pre
“Accentuate the Positive” — Treme Returns!
It’s been a long wait since last summer, but one of my favorite series from 2010 finally returned with new episodes this past Sunday night — David Simon (The Wire) and Eric Overmyer’s Treme! Season two picks up about six or seven months after the events of the seaso
The Top 10 Episodes of TV of 2010 — Part Two!
Yesterday I began my list of the Top 10 Episodes of TV of 2010. Here now is the rest of the list, numbers 1-5! 5. 30 Rock: “Reaganing” (season 5, episode 5, aired on 10/21/10) — Jack boasts that he has reached a 24-hour state of perfection that he called “Rea
Josh Reviews Andy Barker, P.I.: The Complete Series!
Andy Richter has headlined two terrific but quickly-cancelled TV series. A few years after the demise of Andy Richter Controls the Universe (which was cancelled after FOX aired 14 of the 19 episodes produced), Mr. Richter stepped into the lead of Andy Barker, P.I. on NBC. The pe
Josh Reviews Andy Richter Controls the Universe: The Complete Series!
One of the many, many great TV shows that aired briefly on FOX before being cancelled well-before-its-time was Andy Richter Controls the Universe. This short-lived show, which aired in 2002-03, was Andy Richter’s first TV series effort after leaving The Late Show with Conan O&
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews John Adams (2008)
I can’t believe it took me this long to get to the 2008 HBO miniseries John Adams! This seven-episode miniseries introduces us to John Adams as a prominent lawyer in Boston, defending the British soldiers who shot and killed several Americans in the so-called “Boston Massa
“We’re Running Out of Time!” — Josh Bids Farewell to 24
I was a fan of 24 from the very beginning. However, despite my long-held allegiance to the show, I have not once regretted my decision to sit season eight out. I had become so frustrated by the show’s descent into endlessly recycled story-lines (to a degree that verged on se
“See You in Another Life, Brother” — Josh Bids Farewell to Lost
So that’s it. We’re done. “The End,” the epic-length two-and-a-half-hour finale of Lost that aired last night, was a magnificent episode. It was pretty much everything that I could ask a series finale to be: both a thrilling, emotional episode on its own
In Which My Hopes For The End of Lost Wind Up Deader Than Nikki & Paulo
I entered season six of Lost with enormous enthusiasm. After re-watching the first five seasons on the show, I had gained a newfound respect for the wonderful, overall tapestry of the show, and I was beyond excited to see those myriad story-threads get pulled together over the cours
A Farewell to Jack Bauer
By now, you’ve all probably heard that this season will be the last for 24. I was an enormous fan of 24 when it began. I still remember, a few days after the premiere episode aired, my folks sitting me down and insisting that I check it out. (Fortunately they had taped that
