If you are a Simpsons devotee, then you will want to pick it up.

I’m hoping that the show has finally started to find its rhythm.

All’s not well in “The Well.”

This mini-episode presents an important bit of Who history.

What’s all the hubbub about “The Hub”, bub?

The lack of interesting characters and mythology keeps it as a standard TV procedural.
