These guys come up with twisted shorts and one longer and even more twisted feature per episode, some of them actual man-on-the-street interviews, some of them scripted, and most of them funny.- Posted Jun 14, 2011

The show has a nice sense of innocence, thanks to Wood's gentle performance and the theme of personal transformation; but it is also filled with uneven sexual and scatological jokes, delivered with a dog-like lack of modesty, so viewer be warned. For some, that level of humor is a deal breaker.- Posted Jun 22, 2011

[Rudolph's] new character brings a wackier element to the show, which undermines the fine authenticity that Spivey initially set up. Now Rudolph has a more expandable role, I suppose, but she is also less connected to the other characters. The whole Ava talk show business feels like it belongs in a more satirical sitcom of its own.- Posted Sep 12, 2011

What distinguishes the good ones are colorful performances, scandalous twists, and the age-old reminder that money and power can't buy love--all of which Political Animals has.- Posted Jul 12, 2012

It helps Perry that Silveri has surrounded him with a large ensemble filled with potential.- Posted Aug 7, 2012

The New Normal is sweet-natured, in the way the characters mingle their lives together; but the jokes, they are mighty spotty.- Posted Sep 10, 2012
