TV Hearsay: The Week's Best Out of Context Quotes

Honey Boo Boo herself taught us a lesson about tolerance with her "everybody's a little bit gay" comment, but here are the quotes that aren't quite as well meaning.

Louie: Five Best Moments from the Season 3 Finale

Much as I really like this show and was happy to see Louis CK take home two Emmys this past week, Louie kind of lost me for a few episodes this season. I mentioned this a couple of months ago, but sometimes the episodes got weird past the point of being actually enjoyable -- not always in a bad way per se, but I need to wait to watch Louie for when my head is clear and I don't have to immediately tune in to something else afterward. I also have mixed feelings about the Late Show arc, but in the interest of time, let's get to "New Year's Eve," an episode that was equal parts great and strange.

From attention grabbing to actual grabbing, people were really just rotten this week.

Parks and Recreation: Who Made the Comedy Grade Last Night?

I've come to realize that my favorite Parks and Recreation episodes are the ones that are cartoonish in plot but realistic when it comes to the characters -- last year's "Pawnee Rangers" sticks out to me for doing just that, while last week's "Ms. Knope Goes to Washington" was disappointing because the Leslie-Ben plot was all too accurate while Ron's character was a caricature. Or, I don't know, maybe I just really enjoyed last night's "Soda Tax" because of clever writing and great acting. Either way.

TWoP 10: Burning Questions About Fall 2012 TV

The insanity of Fall TV is in full swing, and while we're busy judging shows as a whole, a lot of the new and returning shows really have us puzzled with some of the unusual choices they are making. We'll likely never get these answers, but we pose the questions that really have us stumped.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo: This Week's Signs of the Apocalypse

We've finally reached the end... of the beginning. "It Is What It Is" was the finale of Season 1 of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, but TLC renewed the show for a second season and is giving the Thompsons three "HOLLAday" specials for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Not that I'm complaining.

Modern Family: Five Surprising Things about the Season 4 Premiere

After sweeping the Emmys yet again, Modern Family is back for a fourth season. Are you excited? I'm on the fence -- I generally like to root for underdogs, and with the relentless praise the show gets, it's much easier for me to see all of the flaws in this show. On the other hand, last night's premiere made me laugh a handful of times, and by the end totally had me crying... which isn't saying much, given that I'm a huge crybaby, but still.

The Neighbors: Somewhere Out There

The Neighbors: Somewhere Out There

Had ABC's new comedy pilot The Neighbors been really interesting, sweet, funny or even cute, I'd start comparing it to, say, 3rd Rock from the Sun, ALF, Aliens in the Family (other people watched that show, right?) or any of the many other network sitcoms about extraterrestrial beings hanging around Earth, but instead... it was mostly just kind of boring.
