March 12, 2010, 7:55AM
Another terrific "Parks and Recreation" last night, and if you haven't yet seen the "Return of the Jedi"/"Parks & Rec" opening titles mash-up, you simply must. You will never be able to get the song out of your head, but it will be worth it; trust me. A review of "The Possum" coming up just as soon as I tell a man he can't fart in his own car...

HBO's 'The Pacific' behind-the-scenes: Sepinwall on TV
By Alan Sepinwall/The Star-Ledger
March 12, 2010, 6:55AM
Not long after HBO's "Band of Brothers" debuted in 2001, "Band" writer Bruce McKenna was sharing a beer with Bill Guarnere, one of the World War II veterans whose story was depicted in the landmark miniseries. McKenna told the former paratrooper that he couldn't believe what Guarnere and his Easy Company mates went through as they made their way across Europe. "Bill said, 'You think we had it rough? You should talk to those boys who served in the Pacific,'" McKenna recalls. That quote was at one point going to lead off "The Pacific," a "Band" companion miniseries nearly a decade in the making. And it remains the guiding principal followed by McKenna, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg and the rest of the team behind the new $250 million production. "This is 'Band of Brothers' goes to hell," says McKenna. Full story »

Cougar Town, 'Counting On You': Can Jules and Grayson just be friends?
By Alan Sepinwall/The Star-Ledger
March 11, 2010, 11:57AM
Another fun, loosey-goosey episode of "Cougar Town," albeit one that pushed a little too hard on the Jules/Grayson sexual tension thing, with two of the three stories there to nudge them closer together. (The third was, thankfully, just a chance to see Bobby with a giant catfish on his arm.) Because the thing is, even when the stories don't... Full story »

It was the guys' turn on the "American Idol" semis last night, and one man literally and figuratively towered over the rest. I'll have some thoughts on it coming up just as soon as I'm forced to imagine Randy in a bikini (thank you, Simon)... Full story »
Scrubs, 'Our Driving Issues': A Wednesday audition?
By Alan Sepinwall/The Star-Ledger
March 11, 2010, 9:32AM
If you didn't have a DVR season pass set up for "Scrubs," you may not have realized that ABC snuck it back onto the schedule last night, with the final two episodes of the season (if not the series) getting an audition as part of the Wednesday lineup. It continued the show's post-Zach Braff creative upswing, and I'll have a few thoughts coming up just as soon as I take an unintended, decisive nap... Full story »
