06.00 Prison Break 07.00 Worst Week 08.00 Worst Week 08.30 Rising Damp 09.00 The Venture Bros. 01.00 NewsRadio The Venture Bros. "A Very Venture Christmas" An odd little number, this one. Not without laughs, but the conceit that it's all a dream-within-a-dream-within-a-dream left me with a headache when the credits had rolled. Best bit? The Christmas-themed porn videos! NewsRadio. Season 2, Episode 10. "Xmas Story" The first episode I ever saw, and still one of my favourites. Highlight?

05.30 Worst Week 06.30 Worst Week 07.30 Worst Week 08.00 House 10.00 30 Rock Worst Week. Episode 8. "The Cake" Sam and Mel make a great team. I enjoy the moments where they work together against everybody else and you get the feeling that she is almost as dogged by bad luck as he is. This episode is driven by some more white lies (a standard device on Worst Week). Sam tells his dad a lie about Dick to stop him from bothering him, and Mel tells Sam's mum a lie about her own mother to - likewise - prevent a dispute she can forsee. The episode generates many laughs from these basic elements. It's nice. But, maybe, it would be funnier if it was less... nice.

07.30 Worst Week 08.00 The Sarah Connor Chronicles 09.00 The Hitchhiker 09.30 Swamp Thing Worst Week. Episode 6. "The Ring" Olympia Dukakis is somewhat wasted in this average episode. After six episodes we know what to expect: Sam means well, but is dogged by bad luck. You get the feeling that the writers have decided to cut the guy a small break, as Dick seems to have grown tolerant of him at this stage. It's nice, but it takes some of the edge off. Anyway, in this chapter... Sam lets the baby swallow the wedding ring and has to wait for it to poop. When this does happen events conspire and he ends up destroying the Wedding Dress. Which suits Melanie who hated the dress.

Worst Week. Episode 4. "The Truck" Sam continues to be a really likable hero, and this episode highlights both him as an outsider (to the family) and a part of a strong team with Melanie. The previous episode introduced his buddy (who is likewise cursed with bad luck and the ability to do things that hurt/annoy Dick) and this episode adds his nemesis to the mix. In the form of Chad, the annoying son-in-law who can do no wrong in the eyes of Dick. The early part of the episode shows us the family all together for the first time after the arrival of Chad. And what an annoying little bunch they are. Watching all this (and totally bemused by it all) is our hero and (most importantly) his girlfriend. Sam and Melanie form a very distinct team in this outing and the b...

06.00 Worst Week 06.30 Cavemen 07.00 Banacek Worst Week. Episode 3. "The Monitor" Nick Kroll joins the cast as Sam's friend - Adam - called in to fix the painting damaged in episode 1. Each episode tends to be a lot less funny than the one before it, but the show continues to be ingenious and Sam is still a likable (if very unlucky) hero. Kroll is a standout and so is RonReaco Lee as Melanie's brother who - at one stage - wakes to find Sam standing over him with a pillow. Having written off all of Sam's previous attempts to - as it appears - kill him, he finally freaks out when he sees this. Very funny. Highlight?

One Response to: Review - Worst Week - Season 1, Episode 2. Larned Justin. October 1st, 2008 at 12:13 pm. I thought this show was really going to be great, but after the 2nd episode it is starting to fail. They need a better male lead ...
