TV RECAP: ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm: Vow of Silence’

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Nat Almirall

I wrote two weeks ago about the fact that Jeff and Susie’s kid Sammy has grown up, and this time we see (well, not actually “see”) the aging of another character: the Greens’ semi-beloved dog Oscar, who’s got to be getting … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm: The Smiley Face’

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Nat Almirall

I know there’s a lot of ladies reading this, so I’m going to start out with a question: Significant other aside, would you date/make out with Larry? He doesn’t strike me as the world’s most gorgeous man (that would be … Continue reading →

TV Recap: ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm: Palestinian Chicken’

Posted on July 25, 2011 by Nat Almirall

It’s an unspoken law of Curb that Larry’s powers can never be used for good, and any attempt to break that law carries an alarmingy high penalty. I have a soft spot for episodes like this, because more often than not … Continue reading →

TV Recap: ‘Parks & Recreation: The Bubble & Li’l Sebastian’

Posted on May 24, 2011 by Nat Almirall

You didn’t think I’d let the season finale of Parks & Rec go by without a writeup (however late), did you? Well, given my inability to balance it among The Office recaps and the usual movie reviews and whatever else is kicking … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: “The Office: Search Committee”

Posted on May 20, 2011 by Nat Almirall

Another season of The Office down. We’ve had our laughs, our cries, and our slew of other emotions and ended with the big season question of who’s going to replace Steve Carell unanswered. As Billy Bob Thornton would say, “It’s kind … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘Parks & Recreation: The Fight & Road Trip’

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Nat Almirall

I’m glad there were two episodes—disregarding the fact that it meant double the recaps—because it was nice to see the Leslie/Ben (is there a name for this yet? If not, I’m submitting “LesBien” for mass consideration) sexual tension get some … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘The Office: Inner Circle’

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Nat Almirall

Inner Circle should be best remembered for giving unto the world “Bad Boys,” the song that has, for some 20 years, opened COPS. My father so loved that song that he actually bought a tape of Inner Circle’s greatest hits, doubtless … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘Parks and Recreation: Jerry’s Painting’

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Nat Almirall

Oh, just make out already! Or go hog wild on Tom’s desk. Or have Chris or Ron or Ann Perkins or all three catch you in bed together, Leslie and Ben! You guys were doing so well avoiding the trap … Continue reading →
