if i wrote for EW

how i met your mother
grade = A-
the good = this show makes me smile a lot. alyson hannigan (lily) is at her best, smart like willow but funny like band camp girl. and i have a mini crush and ted (josh radnor).
the bad = lose the laugh track, this show is smart like arrested development and scrubs, the people who watch it don't need to be told when to laugh. and it wouldn't hurt to dump the lame bob saget voice-overs and story hour with the kids at the start of each episode.


my name is earl
i had no desire to watch this show at all. i watched it because nothing else was on and this show kicked my ass, in a good way.
grade = A-
the good = jaime pressley's over-the-top camp, jason lee at his smug best, the concept, randy the side-kick, the jokes, the writing.
the bad = this oddball humor makes me miss scrubs that much more, and has me wondering why joey is still on the air. episode 2 really wasn't as hilarious as the first one and that has me nervous.


invasion
grade = C
the good = eddie cibrian. especially all shirtless and wet in last week's effort. and the sight of him crawling into bed had me forgetting where i was for a moment.
the bad = far too many, what the hell is going on here?, moments have this show trying too hard to recapture the magic of Lost but wind up leaving the people who have seen every episode too confused. i want to like you, really i do but you need to give me something to work with, and something to want to come back for. and no eddie's dimples really aren't enough. honestly if there was something else for me to watch on wednesdays at 10 you wouldn't have lasted this long.


reunion
grade = C-
oh reunion, you were the one new show that actually had me counting down the days until your premiere.
the good = will (will estes), and i gotta be honest that's pretty much it. i do like young carla, but i laugh at her version of an adult. the way she delivers her lines shouldn't have me laughing this hard.
the bad = the acting, aside from will. the dialogue. yes i know it's 1996, 7... please stop bashing me over the head repeatedly with this information. i still have a hard time telling samantha and carla apart, and at this point i kinda don't even care. and honestly, why would ANY of them be friends with craig? every episode just falls a little flat. this was such a cool concept, i know it could work in the right hands.
