Fall TV 2013: ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ and 7 other shows worth checking out (Commentary)

September 17, 2013April 16, 2021 John Hansen Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Well, that came upon us in a hurry. Perhaps because there aren’t any major new shows to get excited about, the Fall 2013 TV season snuck up on me rather quickly this year. But while […]

May 16, 2013April 17, 2021 John Hansen Mindy Project

November 13, 2012April 16, 2021 John Hansen American Horror Story

First episode impressions: ‘The Mindy Project’ (TV review)

September 19, 2012April 17, 2021 John Hansen Mindy Project

When “The Office” started to go south a few years ago, I hoped the show would shift its focus to underused secondary characters such as Mindy Kaling’s Kelly Kapoor. That never happened, and I gradually […]

Fall TV 2012: 5 new shows and 5 returning shows to watch (Commentary)

September 11, 2012April 16, 2021 John Hansen American Horror Story

Ah, fall TV. And, in a nice old-school twist, the Entertainment Weekly Fall TV Preview issue highlighted a single show on its cover rather than using a collage (the featured show: “Homeland,” which seems worthy, […]
