TV RECAP: ‘The Office: Goodbye, Michael’

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Nat Almirall

Goodbye, Michael! I’m not sure which one we all knew was coming: Michael Scott leaving, Steve Carell leaving, or The Office pretty much getting cancelled now that they’re gone. Maybe my emotions gauge isn’t properly calibrated, but I wasn’t tearing … Continue reading →

TV RECAP ‘Parks & Recreation: Soulmates’

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Nat Almirall

Members of my generation probably remember Rescue Rangers, the cartoon that (if you lived in mid-Michigan in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s) eased the de-gression each weekday from the awesomeness of Ducktales to the mediocrity of Tailspin. Rangers wasn’t up to … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘Parks & Recreation: Fancy Party’

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Nat Almirall

Maybe I’m biased, but Amy Poehler gets cuter and cuter each episode (something about those devilish eyebrows); Jerry gets more pathetic; and Ron is more and more of a badass. First off, this may be my favorite cold open so … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘The Office: Training Day’

Posted on April 15, 2011 by Nat Almirall

TV RECAP: ‘The Office: Garage Sale’

Posted on March 28, 2011 by Nat Almirall

The Office has finally stopped lollygagging around the Michael-Holly will-they/won’t-they (of course they will) question? and given us what we all expected: The Proposal, albeit coyly buried under the episode’s evasive title “Garage Sale.” But who’s complaining? In the show’s … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘Parks and Recreation: Camping’

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Nat Almirall

The Harvest Festival has come and gone (about 16 episodes earlier than I thought), and Leslie’s getting the kudos she deserves…until the city manager Paul suffers a heart attack during her recognition ceremony and collapses with a death grip on … Continue reading →

TV RECAP: ‘The Office: Todd Packer’

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Nat Almirall
