Recent TV Faves

Today, a sampling of my favorite TV to share.

Oddly enough, a few years ago I couldn't find

anything of value on TV. Now, I have found a

handful of true gems. If you aren't aware of the

following programs already, check them out.

Networks are listed, but I'm unsure of times;

I generally watch these on http://www.hulu.com/

where you can access most of them 24 hours

after their air date.

COMMUNITY

(NBC)

Quirk, dark, fast-paced, witty, community-college comedy;

inappropriate and politically incorrect, and loving it.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES

(ABC)

Final mystery-and-transformation-laden final season

of  drama and cheese.

MODERN FAMILY

(ABC)

Brainy situation comedy with diverse and hilarious

characters; adult and irreverent humor.

GRIMM
(NBC)

Supernatural meets detective drama;

plenty of studs, gore, pot-stirrers, and special effects.

WORKAHOLICS

(Comedy Central)

Nutsy surreal comedy featuring outcasts and weirdos;

live-action Beavis and Butthead.

YOUNG JUSTICE

(Cartoon Network)

Alternate earth DCU shows off superb animation of

former sidekicks in edgy, richly-scripted ongoing story.

(returning March)

PARKS & RECREATION

(NBC)

Tongue-in-cheek, schmaltzy comedy featuring

office nerds and nonsensical plots.

ONCE UPON A TIME

(ABC)

Action-drama split between a magical realm and

the modern trials of displaced people seeking resolution.

THE LEAGUE

(F/X)

Over-the-top adult comedy of fantasy-football buddies

and ridiculous hi jinks that are Seinfeld-ian in scope.

WAREHOUSE 13

(SyFy)

Witty, wry, moving and fun action-suspense with equal

parts X-Files and Moonlighting, add a dose of Cheers.

GLEE

(FOX)

A love song to music, outsiders, high school, and

love. Drama highlighted with original music and covers of greats.
