Impractical Jokers: Season Two
"Lar-ry!" Plot: What's it about? You know, I think I've found more "hidden gems" while channel surfing in the past few years than in the last ten years combined. What? I guess what I mean is that there is so much television programming on these days, it's nearly impossible to keep track of what's on and what's not unless you do a little exploring. Case in point, a few years [...]
The Mentalist: Season Six
Plot: What's it about? There aren't a lot of good television dramas out there. Well, ok, there are, but they aren't on network television anymore.

Swamp People: Season Four
Plot: What's it about? Now to be honest, I'd never watched an episode of Swamp People before this review.

As it turns out, the show follows a group of alligator hunters who troll the swamps for their bounties in a 30 day hunting season. Each hunter is given a [...]

Adventure Time: Jake the Dad
Plot: What's it about? I'd never heard of (or most likely would have never heard of) Adventure Time if it weren't for my youngest step son. I call him the "evil" one, though he's actually a nice little chap. So here's the thing - there's this show called Adventure Time (mentioned twice already, I know) and it's one of his favorites.

So the show isn't about sex, drugs, and family strife, in fact quite the opposite. In this third season, we watch as [...]
Robot & Frank
Plot: What's it about? One of the benefits of doing this site is that I get sent a very wide variety of titles, some I've heard of and others I've not. I'd say that Robot & Frank is something that I'd usually pass over, but something about it stuck out to me. Was it the cast? James Mardsen, Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon and Liv Tyler aren't exactly the hottest out [...]
