I provide testosterone to the site. You won’t be reading about how nice a actress looks in a dress or how much of a hunk Matt Bomer is in my reviews. I describe colors using words like brown, not taupe. My twitter name is @staffaroadtrip because I love road trips and have done two different 48-state road trips since 2008. My favorite show is White Collar.

The Goldbergs – “Love is a Mixtape” Advance Review. The Bailout 1

The Goldbergs makes an entertaining return to TV, kicking off season two with “Love is a Mixtape.” Not only is love in the air, but the Goldberg kids are now much older. If you don’t believe me, just take a look at James Bond, Berry Bonds, Mr. Clock Table’s driver’s license.

Gotham – “Pilot” Spoiler-Free Advance Review. A Fish, a Cat and a Penguin.

Gotham - “Pilot” Spoiler-Free Advance Review. A Fish, a Cat and a Penguin. 6

When Fox first announced Gotham would be on its 2014 fall schedule, I had my doubts if the show could work without a main hero. Sure, Smallville didn’t have Superman and survived for 10 seasons but the show still had Clark Kent (Tom Welling) and he wielded most of Superman’s powers. So, can there be a Gotham without Batman? Based on the pilot, the answer appears to be yes.

Making matters worse, the documents relating to the deal are turned over to SEC investigator Sean Cahill (Neal McDonough), who is adamant Harvey and Mike (Patrick J. Adams) colluded on the Gillis deal. While Mike and Harvey are innocent, the deal Louis made makes the firm look guilty. Instead of sitting back and waiting for Cahill to figure things out, Mike suggests going on the offensive by taking on Cahill for malicious prosecution, using the depositions as a distraction.
