Hey everyone,
I was really pleased to be invited onto the TVx3 Podcast
last week to talk comedy. As you know I don't get to podcast
about comedy very often so this was a rare chance to talk
The Office, Parks and Rec, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your
Mother, Modern Family and The Middle. You'll get to hear lots of positivity from me which makes a
nice change and I had a great time with hosts Jason
(http://www. tvaholic. com/[http://www. tvaholic. com/]) and
Amrie
(http://www. mytakeontv. com/[http://www. mytakeontv. com/]). For all the information go here

Enjoy,
Robin

*Girls Season 2*
Girls continues to be one of the most watchable shows on
television but for unusual reasons. It's constantly breaking
with the accepted TV formula that you need to present
lovable characters that the audience can get behind. Instead
Girls is ruthlessly determined to present Hannah Horvath as
a selfish and whiny person regardless of the situation. Even as she fell deeper into a very sad bout of OCD Hannah
was shown trying to manipulate her friends and family rather
than being honest.

I had been hoping that 'One Minute' might be the first Breaking Bad episode to get a TV Critic score in the 90s. You're a harsh man, Robin. But there's still 'Fly' and 'Half Measures' to come, so I st...

I loved this episode, it was funny, emotional, and satisfying.
A few moments were off, particularly Erin's Dad popping in and Nellie just snatching a child.

I hope you continue to review TBBT: you're precise and analytical about the show's strengths and weaknesses. I like your objectivity and succinct style.
But I don't blame you for being weary of TBB...

Was nice to see Michael. He had only two lines, both of which were perfect. Also enjoyed how quiet he was during a wedding which had historically been one of his favorite attention-hogging venues.
