Finally, the season finale.  And a boring one at that.  Nice that the show lived up to its title. The big fight is here!  Johnathan does not seem that impressive in his practice, but he ends up winning!  I was pretty surprised by that. But before that, he gets a couple of threateningish phone calls [… Read More]

The lesbians Ray was donating his sperm to have vanished!  So Ray hires Johnathan to help him track them down.  Although I am relatively certain that Johnathan is not getting paid at all. Johnathan is apparently really good at picking locks, which is weird to me because we’ve never seen him do this before so [… Read More]

Johnathan is enlisted to track down a woman who is blackmailing this guy who slept with her.  He’s married, and the woman is going to give their sex tape to his wife if he doesn’t start paying her weekly.  Or maybe it’s monthly.  I can’t remember.  Because during their meeting, he shows Johnathan a picture [… Read More]

In this episode, Johnathan meets with Jim Jarmush and gets a script from him – Jim likes Johnathan’s first novel, and wants him to rewrite this script. At the beginning of the party, Johnathan makes a comment to a girl who totally brushes him off.  Naturally, as soon as she sees him talking to Jim [… Read More]

I will say that this episode was not as bad for me as the first one.  It wasn’t my favorite show ever, but it was funnier and had some good quotes too. The premise was still basically the same – Jonathan still wants to try to get back together with his ex, and while he [… Read More]

I may be speaking a little prematurely with this statement, but I kind of think the title of this show is rather apt.  I feel like this is the kind of show I should probably like – I’m sure it’s supposed to be a cerebral show and something entertaining for smart people.  But I just [… Read More]
