My Name is Earl: “Magic Hour/Monkey Take A Bath” (9/25/08)
Watch on hulu
The most memorable thing from the first half hour of this season premiere is Seth Green’s guest appearance and creative use of the word “awesome”. Green plays a Make-a-wish kid who lived long enough for Earl to make it up to him by helping [...]

THE SIMPSONS:

The Simpsons: “Smoke on the Daughter” (3/30/08) - One of the better episodes of the season starts with a spot-on spoof of Harry Potter-mania. Then Marge lives vicariously through Lisa as she takes ballet class, but Homer tries to keep her second-hand smoke addiction under wraps. Grade: A-

“Mona Leaves-A” (5/11/08) - A [...]

The Simpsons: “Apocalypse Cow” (4/27/08) - Bart joins 4-H and tries to rescue a cow. Favorite parts: the Trans-Clown-O-Morphs parody and Homer saying, “Don’t worry about Wikipedia. We’ll change it when we get home. We’ll change a lot of things…” Unfortunately there was about 20 minutes of the episode left and it was [...]

South Park: “Over Logging” (4/16/08) - America goes without the internet and the consequences are hilarious. Brilliant start… lags in the middle but ends strong. Grade: A-
“Super Fun Time” (4/23/08) - One big joke: What if the “Die Hard” thugs robbed a Burger King and held up an historical recreation park where the [...]

The Simpsons: “Dial ‘N’ for Nerder” (3/9/08) - For a while there, I thought they would actually kill off Martin. In fact, it was a very good murder mystery (with no murder) episode. Grade: B+
http://www.hulu.com/watch/12039/king-of-the-hill-lady-and-gentrification#s-p2-so-i0
King of the Hill: “Lady and Gentrification” (3/9/08) - A bunch of hipsters want to move into a place [...]
