TV: Newswire: It's that thing where Bill Hader is leaving Saturday Night Live this weekend
New York’s hottest club is Leaving Saturday Night Live. It has everything: weekdays, autonomy, a laptop you’ve nicknamed “Porn Michaels,” producers promising you movie roles, a smirking Seth Meyers, and a yawning void… You know, it’s...Show More Summary
TV: Great Job, Internet!: Get to know Cristin Milioti, a.k.a. the mother in How I Met Your Mother

TV: Newswire: Fall TV previews: Time travel, witches, and George Washington's Bible—and that's just one of Fox's new shows!
For years now, TV critics have been making snap judgments about new TV shows based on the footage shown at upfront presentations, which is really unfair, if you think about it. Does anybody ask movie critics to make snap judgments based...Show More Summary
TV: Defiance: “The Serpent's Egg”
It's fairly typical for a show to demonstrate dramatic improvement around the fifth episode of the first season. As I understand it, this is the point at which the writers of new episodes will have started to see the finished versions of the initial episodes. Show More Summary
TV: Bates Motel: “Underwater”
Over the weekend, Carlton Cuse stated at a Paley event for this show that what he and Kerry Ehrin are really trying to do is make an additional 70 episodes of Twin Peaks to go along with the 30 we already got. Which is nice, so far as...Show More Summary

TV: Other Shows: Newlyweds: The First Year
Bravo’s Newlyweds: The First Year follows four couples who apparently never watched a family sitcom in their entire lives. Nor have they discussed anything about post-marriage life, including where to live, the work-life balance or anything to do with money. Show More Summary
TV: Rectify: “Drip, Drip”
I’ve been waiting four weeks for something along the lines of Rectify’s first 10 minutes tonight. Weird, muted, and momentarily inconsequential, Daniel Holden’s sojourn into the Paulie night is a beguilingly nonsensical way to work up to the climax of the show’s first season. Show More Summary
TV: Regular Show: “Skips’ Stress”
I’ve mentioned a few times in my reviews that Regular Show episodes can sometimes feel overstuffed, as some episodes need so much time to tell their chosen stories that there’s not enough time to develop its more intriguing side elements. Show More Summary
TV: Other Shows: 90210 — “We All Fall Down”
90210 died exactly the way it lived: as a wholly unnecessary afterthought. Sure, that’s harsh—and maybe unnecessarily so—but is there any other way to describe a show that lasted for 114 episodes, yet the majority of the American television...Show More Summary
TV: Castle: “Watershed”
Castle’s schizophrenic tendencies, which have mostly been under control over the course of its fifth season—getting Castle and Beckett into a sexual relationship having unexpectedly turned out to be the show’s Ritalin—are in full bloom during the opening minutes of the season finale.

TV: How I Met Your Mother: “Something New”
From where I sit, there’s no call to get angry and throw things because Ted and Robin had a moment last week. Here’s why. This show started with Ted and Robin. Of course it’s not going to reach its titular moment, much less its final season endgame, without returning to Ted and Robin. Show More Summary
TV: Newswire: Fall TV previews: We look at all the fancy vampires and bald James Spaders of NBC's new shows
For years now, TV critics have been making snap judgments about new TV shows based on the footage shown at upfront presentations, which is really unfair, if you think about it. Does anybody ask movie critics to make snap judgments based...Show More Summary
