When Jane Lynch first appeared in the first season of Only Murders in the Building, it could’ve very easily been a one-and-done joke. Lynch plays Sazz Pataki, the long-time stunt double of Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), who appeared on a fictional police procedural Brazzos.

‘Fight Night’ Goes The Distance But Falls Short Of A Knockout
Kevin Hart is one of those actors who seems to work mostly when he’s in comedic roles. However, he’s been wanting to branch out in more serious roles lately. I haven’t seen him in Lift but I heard he’s miscast.

‘That ’90s Show’ Is Still Fly
That ’90s Show has managed to move pass a legacy show and get its own touch. But it’s managed to do more than just be a reunion series like Murphy Brown or Roseanne. It’s nothing new.

‘True Detective: Night Country’ Shines In Extraordinary Fashion
I missed the first season of True Detective with Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson and stayed away from the second season upon hearing the criticism. But the third season which took place in northwestern Arkansas, a couple hundred miles away from my doorstep intrigued me.

‘Ted’ Works Best As Sitcom Parody But Still Feels A Bit Overstuffed
There was a joke on a Family Guy episode in which they did some Seth MacFarlane self-parody with the line is “Yeah, he watched TV in the 80s. We get it.” When Family Guy burst on the scene in 1999 after the Super Bowl, it reflected a growing change in movies and TV that decadeContinue reading “‘Ted’ Works Best As Sitcom Parody But Still Feels A Bit Overstuffed”
