What TV Shows Are you Watching?

[Rev. Powell]

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).

Perhaps you're thinking of Arena from 1989, which is reminiscent of the fight tourney portions of the episode. Oddly enough, Claudia Christian was in that flick.
