I got Sling for a month for March Madness and looked for a short run TV series I'd be able to watch in a month. Best candidate seemed to be "Kevin Can F**k Himself." (After I started watching I discovered it was on Netflix, so I could have watched it anyway, but so be it.) The series' gimmick is that (almost) every time Kevin is onscreen, it's a really bad sitcom with deliberately lame jokes and a laugh track, but when it follows his wife Allison, its a darker dramedy. Kevin's a thoughtless buffoon in the sitcom, but I think the implication is that he's a really bad guy, but we can't see his behavior directly. An interesting premise, but after one episode I'm not entirely sold: I've got hope it will improve.

I've been interested in checking that out eventually - I really like Annie Murphy.

Rewatched the first season of Babylon 5.

Which do you consider the worst episode of the season, Infection or Eyes? IMO the former is ham-handed hackery, while the latter takes an idea with some potential and completely whiffs it. Then again, you might regard something else as worse (though I can't imagine what).

I didn't mind Eyes, although I don't care much for Infection, as I've seen that plot too many times before. TKO feels weak for a similar reason (I felt like I was watching an old Charles Band movie all through that episode).
