What have you been watching this week (w/e February 11)?

11 February 2011 Rob Buckley 2 Comments

Archer season two

It’s “What have you been watching this week?”, your chance to recommend to friends and fellow blog readers the TV that they might be missing or should avoid – and for me to do mini-reviews of everything I’ve watched this week. Since we live in the fabulous world of Internet catch-up services like the iPlayer and Hulu, why not tell your fellow readers what you’ve seen so they can see the good stuff they might have missed?

Regular recommendations; Cougar Town, House, Modern Family, Royal Pains, Southland, 30 Rock and Top Gear

This week’s backlog: Archer; Community; Episodes; Outcasts; and Royal Navy Caribbean Patrol. One day, I’ll get round to The Killing as well. Stupid BBC4 and it’s two episodes a week stunt scheduling.

After the jump, mini-reviews of last week’s Archer and Community as well as this week’s Being Human, Being Human (US), Chuck, Shameless, Smallville and Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.

Review: Mr Sunshine 1×1

11 February 2011 Rob Buckley 5 Comments

Mr Sunshine

In the US: Wednesdays, 9.30/8.30c, ABC

Imagine there’s a heaven. More exactly, imagine there’s a TV heaven, a TV heaven where all your favourite actors can go to when their existing series end. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Well, ABC has found it and it’s called Mr Sunshine. It stars:

  • Matthew Perry! Chandler from Friends! Yey!
  • Allison Janney! CJ from The West Wing! Yey!
  • Andrea Anders! The woman who lived next door to Joey on Joey and was in that Better Off Ted thing! Yey!
  • Jorge Garcia! Hurley from Lost! Yey!

How awesome is that?

Of course, it would also be great if TV heaven was a good show as well. Fortunately, Mr Sunshine is actually a very good half hour of fun, in which Perry – the somewhat grumpy Mr Sunshine of the title – has to try to manage a San Diego sports centre, juggling the constant demands of his very sunny best friend, his often high boss (Janney) and his friend (with benefits) Andrea Anders.

Cue the trailer – just imagine it has Jorge Garcia instead of the old Latino guy instead.
