Immature humor and obnoxious protagonist doom 'Allen Gregory'
- FOX
BY KELLY ETZ
The central character of FOX’s new animated series “Allen Gregory,” created and voiced by Jonah Hill (“Moneyball”), the insipid pint-sized intellectual is the only seven-year-old boy ever created with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
Lowbrow 'Enlightened' can't find its niche
- HBO
BY KELLY ETZ
“Enlightened” just can’t make up its mind as to whether it wants to be a satire or not. While it’s better for a show like this to avoid blatant parody, this style of vague pondering leaves plenty to be desired.
'How I Met Your Mother' still legendary in seventh season

BY KELLY ETZ
Season seven of “How I Met Your Mother” isn’t giving anything away just yet, as it even makes clear we’re nowhere near the end of the story. While this kind of storyline could become tiresome for other sitcoms, “Mother” pulls it off perfectly.
'Gentleman' falls flat on its face
BY KELLY ETZ
CBS should really pull the plug on this one. With actors like these, it shouldn’t be a trial just to make it through one 30-minute episode. Yet every moment is more cringe-worthy than the last.
Deschanel dependably manic and pixie in 'New Girl'
BY KELLY ETZ
With a built-in audience of Deschanel fans, it’s safe to say “New Girl” will last a decent amount of episodes, at least. If the series can keep its pep intact without overdosing, it could turn out to be a real bright spot in the new fall lineup. All that perkiness is sure to leave you smiling.
'Sunny' keeps shining in its seventh season
- Courtesy of FX
BY KELLY ETZ
There’s just something about “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” It’s that over-the-top, how-far-can-they-possibly-go quality. It’s as if each scene attempts to top the one before, and it’s working.
In fourth season, 'True Blood' starting to run dry
- Courtesy of HBO
BY KELLY ETZ
Though season four did prove entertaining, it stretched itself a little too far and ended up losing that all-important connection to reality. And though “True Blood” remains the epitome of a guilty pleasure, the uninspired season four proved even HBO isn’t immune to a misstep.
'The Office' should punch out with Carell
- Courtesy of NBC
BY KELLY ETZ
I love the awkward pauses, the co-workers ranging from uncomfortable to obstinate to just plain awful and the constant true-to-life tediousness. I love “The Office.” But it should have ended last season.
