Recap: 'Saturday Night Live' – Ben Affleck And Kanye West

We’re here at the end of another season of “Saturday Night Live,” and just like last season, there are changes afoot. This will be Bill Hader’s last show. Seth Meyers will leave the show at the end of the calendar year in order to take over the post-“The Tonight Show...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/monkeys-as-critics

Recap: 'Saturday Night Live' – Kristen Wiig and Vampire Weekend

Sun, 12 May 2013 03:00:00 GMT

There’s no way to write about the history of “Saturday Night Live” without including Kristen Wiig. Her overall place in that story is for individuals to decide, but to remove her from the conversation betrays a fundamental misreading of her overall importance to the history of t...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/monkeys-as-critics

Recap: 'Saturday Night Live' – Zach Galifianakis and Of Monsters and Men

Sun, 05 May 2013 02:30:00 GMT

Tonight marks the third time that Zach Galifianakis has hosted “Saturday Night Live,” with each of his prior appearances coming in solid if non-classic installments.

Recap: 'The Following' Finale - 'Final Chapter'

Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:15:00 GMT

The best part of this episode -- "Final Chapter" -- is Claire frankly telling Joe that his writing sucks. I mean -- YEAH OF COURSE IT DOES! -- but considering that the writers of "The Following" are the ones writing Joe's novel, it's strangely self-critical to have another cha...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/monkeys-as-critics

Recap: 'The Following' - 'The End Is Near'

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:40:00 GMT

Readers, I have a confession to make. I have been wrong about "The Following" this whole time. Completely wrong. Absolutely wrong. A critic's worst nightmare, the totally inaccurate judgment call. Up until now, I've assumed that when an episode has more content, it means that it's bette...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/monkeys-as-critics

With only a few episodes left, it’s time to look back at the season as a whole and analyze the cast’s overall importance to the show at this point in time.

Recap: 'The Following' - 'Havenport'

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:10:00 GMT

Well, I'd like to start off this discussion of "Havenport" by discussing what I think has been haunting me since the very first episode of "The Following" -- What was James Purefoy thinking, signing up for this show?   I don't have any particular affection for Purefoy...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/monkeys-as-critics

Recap: 'Saturday Night Live' – Vince Vaughn And Miguel

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 02:55:00 GMT

It’s been more than fourteen years since Vince Vaughn last hosted “Saturday Night Live.” In between then and now, Vaughn has starred in dozens of movies, many of them funny, and most of them even intentionally so. (“Domestic Disturbance” is fairly hysterical, althoug...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/monkeys-as-critics

Recap: 'The Following' - 'The Curse'

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 05:26:00 GMT

To quote "The Curse": "???????????????????????????"   In all seriousness, "The Curse" is one of "The Following"'s better episodes, but I have to agree with Claire -- Joe's writing is atrocious. If it weren't for that little aside in tonight's episode...http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/monkeys-as-critics
