Where the two leads are fledgling performers at the start of the careers, the actors playing their older relations have no such excuses for appearing herein.- Posted Aug 29, 2011

If you caught a snippet of Whitney unawares, you would be forgiven for assuming that it's one of those shows-within-a-show that exists to caricature bad television.- Posted Sep 19, 2011

At points, Bag of Bones plays less like a horror story than a fond parody of one.- Posted Dec 9, 2011

They [the producers] have failed to uphold their usual high standards, having not mastered the calculus of delivering the boorishness for which Sheen loyalists thirst while simultaneously tinkering with themes of redemption.- Posted Jun 27, 2012

Phil Spector--potentially a camp classic about self-aggrandizement and megalomania--is simply a self-satisfied vanity project.- Posted Mar 22, 2013

If there exists a device called a Procedural-O-Matic, then it created this show. -

It's all the same stuff--magazine parties, feckless husbands, tempting male bimbos...but without "Cashmere Mafia's" redeeming air of farce. -

Consider it proof of Corddry's superb resourcefulness that he somehow manages to wring the occasional drop of comedy from these dreary situations. -

The Cougar defeated my efforts to pay attention to it. I made four honest efforts to contemplate, or even to notice, what was happening in the pilot, and the show kept sliding right off my cerebral cortex. -

The show gets by as the vodka of television comedy. It aims to have no taste.- Posted Jan 11, 2012

The actors playing the BL:TA duo are healthy and wholesome, if not terribly expressive; perhaps the matter is that both are Australian, and it's all they can do to keep their accents under control. Or maybe it's that both are fluent in English, and it's all they can do to keep from cracking while reading their dialogue.- Posted Jun 18, 2012

Wipeout dresses up the usual network idiocy with cable-style snark (think Best Week Ever) and an exuberant lack of decency that's pure Internet--a TMZ-esque disregard for mercy, an anonymous blog commentor's sense of self-restraint. -

In the light of summer television, civilization does not seem to have a pulse. It looks quite dead indeed. -

Very probably the worst sitcom on network television, Last Man Standing makes Whitney Cummings look like Noël Coward.- Posted Oct 11, 2011

Roseanne's Nuts, as the thing is called, is so loud, dull, and dumb that it seems to be jackhammering an abyss into existence, but its reign as the most depressing show on air lasted only 60 minutes.- Posted Jul 15, 2011

The new worst show on television debuted Wednesday night on Lifetime--Dance Moms, an ugly docu-circus featuring a megaton bully of a Pittsburgh dance instructor, the little princesses she costumes as lunatic street whores, and a quorum of strenuously pathetic stage mothers, one of whom warbles that she would slit her wrists if her daughter even thought of trying out for softball.- Posted Jul 15, 2011
