The Pitt recap, Season 2, Episode 8: '2:00 P.M.' The computer shutdown forces the whole hospital to go analog

My review of this week's The Pitt, where some hospital staffers were better equipped to go analog than others:

On February 27, 1989, CBS aired an unsold pilot produced by and guest starring Eddie Murphy, with a notable name: What's Alan Watching? www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDH4...

The Wire season 4: What if they made the whole plane out of “Where’s Wallace?”

Ditto for Twin Peaks: The Return, which is an episodic TV show. (Most people's favorite episode of it, the 8th, was almost entirely self-contained.)

As much as I hate to deviate from my usual bit about suggesting that people draft TV episodes, you know what I hate even more? TV seasons being referred to by their creators as long movies. Top of the Lake is one of Holly Hunter's best things ever. It should not be eligible.

Don't know, sorry

My review of this week's The Pitt, where some hospital staffers were better equipped to go analog than others:

Every character on The Pitt this season is Julio

WAIVE THE MOOCH RULE

Delroy Lindo and Holly Hunter in A Life Less Ordinary

Obviously A Life Less Ordinary,right?

Homer says "that gray house puts the 'she' in yeshiva."

You know what show I hope gets to come back sometime soon? Harley Quinn, just to see if they can ever top this:

Agreed! And honestly, if J.D. hadn't been in it at all — or hadn't been written like he'd had zero character development since s1 — I think people would have been fine with it even as part of the main show.

"it probably should have been called Appomattox, because it feels like somebody simply surrendered at trying to build any kind of momentum within the show. "

Shrinking recap, Season 3, Episode 5: 'Hold Your Horsies' Jimmy hangs with Paul's daughter, Gaby is freaked out by "we," and Sean doesn't want to go to a party

My review of this week's Shrinking, where Jason Segel got to sing (twice!), and it turns out the business has been missing opportunities for years to let Lily Rabe be funny:

Was there even a microscopic chance that I was going to interview all these people and not talk about that scene?

Scrubbing Back In Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalke, and Bill Lawrence have revived the hit 2000s sitcom ‘Scrubs,’ with a keen eye on resuscitating the vibes of the early seasons

For The Ringer, I spoke with the returning castmembers and Bill Lawrence about why now was the time to bring Scrubs back, the origin story of Turk's "Poison" dance, and more: www.theringer.com/2026/02/25/t...

Review: 'Scrubs' is a rare sitcom revival that works Zach Braff and company have returned, older and sometimes wiser

The Scrubs revival isn't at the level of the original run's early years, but it's the rare sitcom revival that understands how to change its characters to reflect their age and how much the world has changed since we last saw them. My review:

This book is so much fun!

Aquaman has gone woke!

Oh, I did that. Though I'll have to do it again at some point when I get a new computer, when my OS updates past the point where I can use my version, or some other BS reason where I can't continue using a thing I paid to own.

For a long time, I was able to get away with writing in Pages or Google Docs and exporting to Word, but a couple of books ago, I was told that the publisher's copy-editing system meant I had no choice but to work in Word myself. Hate it.

One of the bleakest Big Two comics I've ever read. Makes the main Suicide Squad book that Ostrander and Yale were writing at the time feel like an issue of Lil Archie.
