<![CDATA[2 Broke Girls, New Girl]]> By Bill Frost

Series Debut: “I’m a political leper and an emotional time bomb, so here’s an idea: Let’s put me onstage.” That sums up new Vice President Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) ]]>
<![CDATA[Girls]]> By Bill Frost

It hasn’t even premiered yet, and star/creator/writer/director/producer Lena Dunham is already receiving comparisons to DIY auteur Louis C.K. for her Girls—see all those slashes? Makes sense. Even though it’s a comedy about four female friends in New York City, Girls is as different from Sex & the City as Louie is from, well, everything]]>

<![CDATA[Mad Men, Luck]]> By Bill Frost

<![CDATA[Community, Fairly Legal]]> By Bill Frost

It’s only been off the air for three months; you’d think NBC dropped a truckload of babies into a cage full of puppies and then fed them all to a pit of snakes (I’ve just anchored your summer schedule, TLC—you’re welcome). ]]>

<![CDATA[Mudcats, Todd Margaret]]> By Bill Frost

Is the so-called History Channel’s new Mudcats nothing more than a clone of Animal Planet’s inexplicably popular Hillbilly Handfishin’? ]]>
<![CDATA[Smash, Delocated]]> By Bill Frost

What does TV need? More singing shows! Fortunately, Smash isn’t The Voice, American Idol, The X Factor (remember that?) or even Glee. OK, it’s a little like Season 1 Glee (deft mix of humor, drama and music)]]>
<![CDATA[Spartacus, Chuck]]> By Bill Frost

The long, weird trip of Spartacus continues—after one proper season, one slapped-together “prequel” season, one deceased star and The Fate of Starz Original Programming riding on it all, how does Vengeance stack up?]]>
<![CDATA[Archer, Unsupervised]]> By Bill Frost

H. Jon Benjamin’s other series, Fox’s Bob’s Burgers and Comedy Central’s Jon Benjamin Has a Van, are nice additions to the résumé, but he’s likely never going to top Archer ...]]>
