Maybe We Missed It

Welcome to the first episode of "Maybe We Missed It," a section I want to use specifically for older media that I still want to write about despite how untimely a topic it may be. I will also be doing a review of what I have been watching on television this fall season, but right now I just want to mention a couple of specific episodes. First, the season premiere of House, which was one of the best episodes I have seen. I watch the show only occassionally, sometimes as background noise, despite my enjoyment of the character and the dialogue, and recently watched the first episode of the new season hulu and was very impressed. It was wonderful to see a House take on a mental ward. I am a huge fan of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and this was a House version. The titular character for makes for an interesting McMurphy. As much as the subject has already been tackled in previous media (Girl, Interrupted being another I would recommend, I felt that this episode didn't rehash much of anything, and was simply a House take on that kind of environment. Watch it. 5/5

The other show I want to mention is NBC's Community, which had its best episode, its Halloween episode, last Thursday. If you have'net been watching the show, I suggest you start tuning in, as this episode the beginning of the show truly coming into its own. Also, be sure to watch the last few minutes, as the interactions between Abed and Troy is often one of the best parts of the show. 4/5 Read more…
