Back in 2012, I wrote a post called Modern Family Thinks My Family is Creepy, about a particularly
disappointing episode of a show I love.
Not exact matches
The joke goes on, as later in the
episode we find the secretary
of the infamous attorney Barry Zuckerkorn sitting at his desk, in camping clothes,
disappointed at the no -
show Barry who was supposed to take him on a similar trip.
Aside from a
disappointing ending, that was more about setting up the
show for next season than actually delivering on a lot
of what had come before, this was arguably Sons
of Anarchy's strongest season yet packing a consistently powerful punch throughout the thirteen
episodes on offer.
For those who were
disappointed in the
show's uneven fourth season, the best news is that, at least in the nine
episodes previewed, Rescue Me is more consistent, more focused and more fun, with better stories for all
of its characters.
A recent NPR: Planet Money
episode attempts to explain the
disappointing show of support from ordinary people, namely: it's too far away in West Africa for some North Americans to relate to; there's been no big cataclysmic event to catapult people into action (Ebola has seen a slow and steady rise); and, there's no one single Ebola charity people can turn to when they feel compelled to give.
