As Adventure Time’s colorful characters begin to shed their mostly childish personalities and adopt more mature dispositions, so, too, does the show’s world begin to evolve into a darker, edgier beast. The Cartoon Network series has already begun its fifth season, but its fourth, which delivered 26 consistently offbeat episodes of animated eccentri...
Some shows end with a neat summation of why we loved them in the first place. Others have more explaining to do. When, in Weeds’s weepy series finale, Andy (Justin Kirk) tells Nancy (Mary-Louise Parker) that it’s time for her to face herself, he places the show firmly in the latter camp, finally calling attention to the neurosis that has sustained ...
Stacked with veteran network talent, featuring sharp case-of-the-week plotting, and boasting possibly the greatest roster of guest stars since The Love Boat, The Good Wife, notably the only network drama on our list, is the embodiment of old-school, small-screen class. But far from toeing a traditional line, the series is also as boldly sexual—and ...
The array of archetypes portrayed by Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen on Portlandia aren’t impressive in their scope so much as their narrow specificity, each one delicately carving Portland’s milieu into a well-observed sub-niche. Armisen plays multiple variations of the emasculated goof while Brownstein portrays a bevy of self-righteous killjoy...
The key to The League’s success is the constantly expanding personal history of cumulative shame shared by the members of the titular fantasy-football league. Through nicknames, odd predilections and reactions, and cultural and sexual hang-ups, embarrassments are crucial to the show’s unique humor, but married creators Jeff and Jackie Marcus Schaff...
In some ways, Boss’s first season served as a lengthy piece of groundwork, demonstrating just how far mayor Tom Kane (Kelsey Grammer) was willing to take his ethos of not-quite-necessary evils. Season two capitalized on that foundation to dazzling effect, repeatedly posing the question of Kane’s possible redemption by way of a housing-redevelopment...
Based on a morbid spit-take of a premise (Vegas showgirl marries stalker in drunken weekend only to be immediately widowed and inherit his mother’s ballet studio), featuring a seductively goofy central performance by Broadway star Sutton Foster, and introducing a genuinely delightful ensemble of teenage actresses, Bunheads was the most surprising s...
The third season of David Simon and Eric Overmyer’s Treme confirmed the show’s place alongside Simon’s The Wire as an essential study of a community in crisis, growing and regrouping, laughing and loathing. On the surface, the season was business as usual: Toni (Melissa Leo) and Terry (David Morse) continued to seek justice in a lawless land; LaDon...
Praise Archie Bunker for flushing the toilet on All in the Family, paving the way for the family unit at the center of Bob’s Burgers to stand around the kitchen sink and acknowledge that sometimes you have to get creative when pops is on the throne. The essence of the series remains the children, whose humor is a gut-busting, sometimes poignant res...
In the season-four finale of Childrens Hospital, fake footage from a security camera shows the writers—supposedly all middle-aged black and Asian women—groaning that they have to work all weekend, with one buxom Caribbean noting that she’ll be missing Shabbat. There are more jokes in that shot than I can list here, but chief among them is the notio...
