TV Reviews: Sunday

Now that November sweeps are almost done, I thought I should take stock in the shows I’ve been following this television season. Sunday nights are pretty busy. It seems most of the cable channels want to put all their cool dramas on this night. Some great viewing but a lot of different stories to follow. I finally stopped watching Family Guy. Their spousal abuse episode went too far and Ryan Reynolds was just too weird in the following episode. I don’t have time for their poor writing anymore. Here’s what I am watching.

THE WALKING DEAD
7pm (AMC) Drama (suspenseful zombie apocalypse)
1 Great cliffhangers at the end of every episode.
2 Each character is so wonderfully complex.
3 The insides of a zombie is rather disgusting.

THE AMAZING RACE
8pm (CBS) Reality Show (only reality show I watch)
1 Rooting for the snowboarders. They look like they’re having fun.
2 The old folks are fun to watch too. They don’t bicker like others.
3 Loved the rabbit steeple chase. So cute.

THE SIMPSONS
8pm (FOX) Animated (still funny if you gave it a chance)
1 Still topical with jabs at video games, foodies and education.
2 Surprised they did a parody of Dexter.
3 Bart beating Lisa at a science fair seems repetitive.

BOARDWALK EMPIRE
8pm (HBO) Drama (The Sopranos in the 1920s)
1 Steve Buscemi is still amazing to watch as Nucky
2 Love seeing Margaret adapting to her situation
3 Some great surprising moments this season

DEXTER
9pm (Showtime) Drama (serial killer as the hero)
1 Some pretty disturbing (yet clever) murders this season
2 Bad guy not comparable to John Lithgow’s Trinity killer
3 Don’t like Deb in her new role, hope she gets demoted

HOMELAND
10pm (Showtime) Drama (Like Rubicon only more answers)
1 It’s a slow burn but is worth every second so far
2 Love the actors involved, especially Mandy Patinkin
3 Last episode revealed a lot of answers. Yipee.

HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA
10:30pm (HBO) Drama (Learn the T-shirt graphic business)
1 Love seeing the rise and fall of the Crisp brand name
2 They don’t seem to have much for Lake Bell to do
3 A lot more unnecessary sex this season for some reason
