South Park, Kate Perry, The Office, 30 Rock, Grey Gardens & Celeb Apprentice

Kate Perry: Unplugged (MTV)
The absolutely luminous Kate Perry kicks this off with a great re-working of I KISSED A GIRL and goes on to thoughtfuly talk about her new songs, some old song, her life and her artistic process. She's beautiful, she's great and she's funny. And while I'm not super familiar with all the cuts on her debut CD, I love the acoustic treatment she gives them here.
Grade: B


THE OFFICE (NBC)
I love Ed Helms. I think he's the best thing to happen to this show.


GREY GARDENS (HBO)
I know this won all kinds of awards and stuff, but I'm at a loss. Drew Barrymore could not have been more affected. The makeup was horrible. It didn't work. Sorry, really didn't work for me. I gave up after an hour.
Grade: D


30 ROCK (NBC)
Having a very good season. That said, I wish they'd stick more to real office situations and stay less with the more surreal aspects of the show, which sometimes threaten to take over the entire enterprise.
Grade: B +


THE CELEBRITY APPRENTICE (NBC)
Another great installment with just the right amount of lunacy, Brett Michaels is really coming off as quite the befuddled character out of his ROCK OF LOVE element, and who knew Cyndi Lauper was so crazy/awesome? Sharon Osbourne is surprisingly grounded and ex-Governer Rob Blagojevich is really a scream. I think this is going to be a great edition.
Grade: B +


V (NBC)
Still getting into it...grade forthcoming.


JUSTIFIED (F/X)
Wow, what a difference a few episodes make. While I found the pilot somewhat pedestrian, the following two episodes have been fantastic, and as far as a fun action/adventure hour with some adult dialog and always good acting - look no further.
Grade: B +


MODERN FAMILY (ABC)
While I like this show more and more, some eps are just not up to snuff. Like the one I watched last night with guest star Ed Norton.


SOUTH PARK (COM CEN)
"Scrotum McBoogerBalls"
Fantastic.
"KFC weed episode (forgot the name)"
Unbelievable. The sight of those men jumping along on their balls.....
This is not the best show ever made. It's just a great show having a (so far) unbelievable season.
Grade: A
