Community went for character study this week, and it didn’t quite work. Instead we’re getting to Chang’s scary new life in the boiler room, with a mannequin leg named Veronica, who he seems to have fallen in love with (is that a Lars and the Real Girl shout out?). Then we move to the group walking to Biology, where Pierce is …

NBC announced today that they’ve picked up the back-9 options for new comedies Up All Night and Whitney, sending a clear signal that there’s new leadership at the network. Early orders inspire confidence, even if so far the program has not. Up All Night was a pleasant surprise; it wasn’t even on my radar but I happened to catch the …

NBC is gearing up for a two-night Halloween event on October 27 and 28, which would be fun except that they’re also pushing back the premieres of Chuck and Grimm in the process. NBC announced today that their Thursday night comedies – Community, Parks & Recreation, The Office, & Whitney – will air Halloween-themed episodes on October 27. The following …

It’s another week and another class at Greendale. This time Annie is making a foray into a political science class, with Professor Cligoris (played by the lovely Martin Starr, whom I’ve loved in Party Down and Freaks and Geeks) joining the Community roster of instructors.

Ron Swanson is surrounded. Surrounded by Tammys. We met Tammy 2 (Megan Mullally) in the show’s first season and Tammy 1 (Patricia Clarkson) made her first appearance at the end of last week’s season premiere. Thursday, get ready for Tammy 0.

Watch the first promo for Chuck season 5!

Firstly, welcome back, Greendale! I’m so glad that you’re back to being crazy and providing me with an endless stream of inside jokes that relate to all of the other shows I already watch. For a season opener, I’m all for the absurd, and when it comes to Community, I’m never disappointed by what the show can pull together. Case …

We’ve got two new video clips for tonight’s series premiere of Prime Suspect, starring Maria Bello. These should warm you up for tonight!

Are you as excited as I am about the series premiere of Whitney on NBC tonight? The hilarious new comedy, starring Whitney Cunnings, is a sure hit in my book. I hope you feel the same after you watch. Not sure if you should invest your time? Watch these clips and let Whitney and Alex convince you. You’ll definitely get …

Get out your Kleenex, Nice Girls, and prepare for some angst of the bromance variety. On tonight’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy is feeling down that his best-friends-for-6-months pact with Stephen Colbert has expired. Naturally he expresses his feelings through song, and soon Stephen himself joins in a moving duet of “Somewhere Out There”. Will the pair be best …
