Snuff Box follows the travails of hangmen (yes, hangmen) Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher as they navigate a surreal landscape riddled with time travel, sordid subterfuge, stolen diaries, and Old Grey Whistle parodies.

It’s very difficult to delve into Grimm without making comparisons to Buffy and Angel, and Grimm thankfully measures up and shows similar promise even with the burden of such a high bar.

If you like your shows totally on the nose, unsubtle, and unworthy of the source material, then Once Upon a Time is the show for you.

There is something very wrong in a sitcom world when decisions are based on “What would Tobey Maguire do?”

Last Man Standing stars Tim Allen playing essentially the exact same character he played for eight successful years on Home Improvement. Allen plays Mike Baxter, a grunting manly-ish man in a house full of women: his wife (Nancy Travis pretending to be Patricia Richardson) and three daughters, the eldest of which is a single mother.

Enlightened is a half-hour drama about a head case, Amy (Laura Dern), who becomes insanely positive after a spell at a treatment center. Amy returns with a massive debt to the center, moves in with her apathetic mother, and finds that her job has been given to her assistant.

While it does my heart good to see the wonderful Dave Foley on a new show—particularly a half-hour sitcom—his presence alone in this one isn’t enough to make it a must watch. Good thing, then, that Kevin Dillon (Entourage), Rhys Darby (Flight of the Conchords), and lead actor David Hornsby are pretty compelling as well.

It doesn’t take more than two seconds to piece together the two worlds that inspire Suburgatory. Within the first minute of the pilot, a resentful teen stomps into a suburban beauty-queen-infested town where it’s hard to decide which is more well-manicured: the housewives’ expansive front lawns or their daughters’ hands.

To escape a dystopian future, the Shannon family volunteers to be sent 85 million years into the past to join a settlement of humans on Mesozoic Earth. Terra Nova is one of the most visually arresting shows in television history, from its lush Australian sets to the believable prehistoric creatures that terrorize the settlers.
