I never watched the short-lived CBS procedural East New York, but it randomly came up in conversation today, leading me to discover two things: 1)Jimmy Smits looked incredible rocking a rare mustache-only look, and 2)Richard Kind played a character named "Captain Stan Yenko."

In The Rehearsal s2, Nathan Fielder tackles a big problem, and in the process challenges the question of whether some problems — and, just as importantly, some solutions — are too big for this kind of comedy. My review:

I liked Honey Bunny, but this kind of nonsense is what happens when you try to reverse-engineer a franchise — without source material. The business' addiction to IP is sad and often counterproductive, but you can't greenlight multiple shows without knowing that there's some audience for them.

There's an upcoming show with characters so stereotypically French, they remind me of my favorite super-obscure DC hero, Jean De Baton:

My review of North of North, a charming comedy series, now streaming on Netflix, about a young Inuk woman trying to figure out her life in a remote Nunavut village:
