Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolf Man are one thing, but killer alien rocks? Meet The Monolith Monsters!

Scream Queens empowers black on black crimes of fashion. Here is our review. ThisScream Queensreview contains spoilers. There are many caveats to this statement. Since most TV is, you know, pretty racist to begin with, this shouldnt be an issue. I have the same issue with their dynamic as I do with reality shows likeMarried to Medicine. I dont care for it. If none of this bothered you, the show had some comedic moments that worked like gangbusters....

This weeks episode, Pigs in a Blackout, is refreshing because it has the Muppets being Muppets. Think of it like a superhero comic. The Sam/Janice stuff didnt really work for me, outside of their amusing talk about snorkeling and fish rights. The stuff with Scooter, on the other hand, was pure gold and makes the episode worth watching. In a way, hes more of the protagonist than Scooter, despite the screentime....

This Gotham review contains spoilers. Gotham: Season 2, Episode 8 Jim Gordon may be the worst cop ever. There, I said it. The entire setup reaked of dramatic contrivation, which is never a good thing. (Sorry, Jim!) Or, in the words of Barabara: kindly dont act all surprised and aggrieved. I wish I could say this was a better week for Barbara. Though she was supremely quotable,Gothamcontinues to have a problem writing female characters....

It hitched a ride on the coat-tails of the successful British showWithin These Walls, with a notable difference. The focus ofPrisonerwas mostly on the inmates, not the wardens.
