MEAN and MASSIVE

Fall season is here, and in about a week the fifth season of FX’ Sons Of Anarchy begins. Here are some photos from the premiere episode, Sovereign. Some minor spoilers included. The new season of SOA premiers September 11, 2012.

last night on Wilfred, in an episode called Questions, Ryan and the dog went tripping. So while Ryan is trying to ask the right question that will lead him back home and out of his mind, we enjoyed an excellent episode that felt at times like a closure. Can Ryan know himself at all? My [...]

This week’s opening monologue on Louie was great, continuing directly where the end monologue last week stopped (“..countries where children die all the time and it’s boring”). Late Show(part I) was all so gloom and doom, giving Louie a little perspective on his career, his life etc. It felt like a sad party, but the [...]

I’ve skipped a couple of Thursday recaps, both for Louie and for Wilfred, but this week I’m back (nomore partying into Friday morning, I swear). Anyhow, as I catch up on those episodes I’ve missed, here are a couple of photos from this week’s episode of Louie, which is a two-part story with the title [...]

I have a couple of promo photos for the upcoming episode of Louie, Ikea/Piano Lesson. It’s another episode in two parts, which sometime works very good (like in Telling Jokes/Set Up, season 3 episode 2) and sometimes less so (like in the last week’s episode, which I didn’t review, Barney/Never). I thought the Barney part was [...]

Too early for a promo clip, but I have for you some photos from the episode of next week in Louie, so I though I’d post them right away, and add the episode synopsis/promo trailer if and when they become available. The pics made me curios about the next week episode, titled Barney/Never. Check them [...]

We continue our adventure with Louie in dating-land, in the second part of the Daddy’s Girlfriendepisode. What started off as an almost lunatic rolling ball of emotions, ended as simple, honest fun. But can Louie take more of it? My episode review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Louie goes on a date that keeps [...]

Daddy’s Girlfriend, a two-part episode that will continue next week, focused on Louie’s search for a girlfriend. This was the focus of Louie‘s current season since the very beginning, which means we know a lot about Louie’s dating problems, intimacy problems, etc etc. Presented in the unique magic-realism touch Louis C.K. has used here and [...]

Louietook us with him to Miami last night, in a funnily uncomfortable episode. My review follows… What just happened (episode summary): Louie goes on a working trip to Miami, where he meets a guy he likes. How it happened (the chatty TV critic): Miami was another episode in the third season of Louie that made [...]

Ryan’s sister Kristen had made her debut appearance for the season in this week’s episode of Wilfred. The dog tried to teach Ryan something about guilt, while Kristen’s return forced him to deal with his own problems. My review for Guiltfollows… What just happened (episode summary): Ryan’s pregnant sister is coming to crash; Ryan tries [...]

A very different episode of Louie, dark and slow, which started with a lengthy – and funny – pre-title stand-up Louie gave about his daughter telling a joke, and continued into a set-up dinner that ended in a date rape, with Louie on the bottom. What just happened (episode summary): Louie is having a funny [...]

This week’s Wilfred was the charmer, trying to please Ryan’s co-workers as ‘the office dog’. It didn’t quite worked out, but it helped teaching Ryan a lesson in self respect. Dignitywas a good episode, that served well the show’s structure, and also moved the plot forward in a small, important way. Also, it seems like [...]

On the second episode of Louie‘s third season, titled Telling Jokes/Set Up, Louie is having dinner at friend’s house. Watch the episode promo below:

In the next episode of Wilfred, titled Dignity, the dog is doing some wild stuff in the office, and Ryan goes on a date with Amanda (played by Alison Mack). Watch the episode promo below:

The new, third season of Louie started off in the best way possible, with the plot summary of ‘Louie is having a challenging day’ being an understatement. I’m so happy to see this guy’s back, and Something Is Wrong succeeded in combining all the best of Louie – funny, quiet, relevant (with the only non-relevant [...]

The second season of Wilfred premiered last night, again, and after watching Letting Go I must say I don’t understand FX’ decision of calling the episode from last week a ‘preview episode‘. It was indeed a transition episode between the two seasons, and it had a unique structure, and not so much Wilfred in it, [...]

On this coming Thursday Wilfred‘s second season will premiere – again – after FX has insisted that what we saw (or missed) last week was not the season premiere but a special season preview. Judging by the dreamy episode Progress was, I can see the logic behind FX’ decision, but still – confusion, confusion. So [...]

The series premiere of Charlie Sheen’s new comedy on FX is going to be one hour, with the first two episodes of the season airing back-to-back. Anger Management is just one of the four premiers this Thursday on FX, together with Russel Brand’s Brand X, Louis CK’s Louie, and Wilfred – which started last week [...]

FX has not yet released any special promo or trailer for the first episode of the third season of Louie, which premiers this coming Thursday, June 28, together with a bunch of other comedies: Anger Management, Brand X – as well as Wilfred, if you take what FX are saying, that the episode we saw [...]

The second season of Wilfred started last night, one week earlier than the planned schedule. FX has decided to do that from their own reasons (Louie season premiere remains as scheduled, next Thursday) – but whatever their reason was, I was happy to see Wilfred, even if it all was just a dream. FX call [...]
