We always love to see it when a show opts to do something slightly different than their typical routine, and “Veep” certainly did that with what was effectively a bottle episode Sunday night. The entire half-hour took place within the confines of the Vice-President’s residence, and the subject was centered solely around and interview that […]
While you may not be talking about it, the past couple of episodes of “Veep” season 2 have been very strong. It’s almost a spitting image of the first season in many ways as the show starts off slow, then gets increasingly funny as time passes. By the time that you are hooked and can’t […]
Doctor Who, Episode of the Week, Modern Family, Veep
As we’re moving into the summer months, we want to present a few new features to try to get you a little more involved in the discussion. Every week we will be honoring what we think is the best episode of any show that we’ve seen on TV all the past week. (And trust us, […]
Critics' Choice Television Awards, The Big Bang Theory, Veep
Before we start off our Emmy preview series early next month, we’re going to spend a few days here talking about some of the specific nominees for the 2013 Critics’ Choice TV Awards, which will be held on June 10. If we are being completely honest, we love the show’s nominees far more than any Emmy telecast […]
What has made “Veep” at times an incredible show, even to the point where it has to be labeled among the finest comedies on TV, is when it chooses to effortlessly blend the worlds of politics and real life. It also reminds us that we live in a very digital age, where if you do […]
While we didn’t have much of an opportunity to write about this past episode of “Veep,” we have to say that Selina Meyer’s visit to Helsinki made for one of the best episodes in the history of the series. There was pandemonium, more constant roasting of how ignorant Americans are, and a spy scandal that could […]
The more we watch of “Veep,” the more it reminds us of another comedy on premium cable at the moment in Showtime’s “House of Lies.” It is a funny show with some smart writing, but we consistently find ourselves wondering if there is ever supposed to be something more too it. Ever week, Selina Meyer […]
HBO has not decided to end Selina Meyer’s term as Vice-President anytime soon. In a statement on Wednesday, the network announced that they have picked up their top-rated comedy series “Veep” for a third collection of episodes, which will air at some point in the first half of 2014. For those who follow the show, […]
After a strong premiere episode last week, “Veep” continued to grow with this week with an episode that really just built upon what seemed to be the major stories of the year. Amy’s sick father looks to be a convenient excuse that she will use to get out of problems, Selina Meyer will continue to […]
The first season of “Veep” was a show that it was very easy to have a clear opinion on. While there were some pretty hilarious moments almost the entire way throughout, the was also a pretty substantial flaw: Selina Meyer, no matter how hard we tried, she was not a character that we could ever […]
