I’m usually not super excited when comedies air back to back episodes. The fact is that sitcoms are a half hour for a reason, and whether it’s two episodes, or an ill-advised “super-sized” installment, it usually just drags on and doesn’t really work for me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, the monster that is American Idol is back on television. After watching a few seasons of the glorified talent popularity contest, I gave up on it last year and decided to throw my viewing power behind Reaper.
