Yeah, I think the report is quite valid; you just have to adjust for some of the oddities in the categorizations. Example: "King of the Hill," which spent half of last season at 8:30 and half at...

Boomhauer didn't say anything but he did have a funny bit with his drawer-ful of harmonicas. I also liked Kahn and Minh plotting to rise to power in the chaos.

I guess as of this episode Luanne...

Yep. KotH switched this season from cel animation to digital (it's still hand-drawn, of course, but the painting and photographing is done digitally instead of with ink-and-paint). It was the last...

I tend to prefer the stand-alone episodes to the soap-opera episodes, because I think stand-alones have more interesting points to make and more interesting self-contained stories to tell, so some of...

Okay, several points to make here:

1. Not all sitcoms with laughter have "laugh tracks." Many are shot in front of a studio audience, for various reasons (some, like THE HONEYMOONERS or ALL IN...

I sometimes find "Family Guy" amusing, but I don't think it's a good show at all. Here are some of my problems with it:

1. The writing. References to '80s TV shows and commercialsl, whether you...

Please do not forget Bill Dauterive from King of the Hill. This is a guy who gets suicidal at Christmastime, who went insane, put on a dress and became his ex-wife just so he could pretend she'd...

King of the Hill has aged the characters somewhat. Bobby started out 11 (he turned 12 midway through the first season) and is now 13; Luanne just turned 21; Bobby's pal Joseph even went through a...

I agree with almost everything else you wrote, but "The Simpsons" was actually a monster hit in its first season, a cultural phenomenon -- it was huge. That's why Fox moved it to Thursdays against...

I love this show very much because it deals non-condescendingly with people who don't live, think or talk like TV writers. It's one of the few shows that can actually tell stories we haven't seen on...

Great review.

The weird thing is that I think the animation was actually better in season 1 than it is now. The drawing of the characters wasn't dead-on, but the actual animation, in terms of the...
