Can’t stand hot weather, but boy, do I wish it were July again…
Fresh Out of the Oven: “Saturday Night Live” 35×1

The new season kicked off with these folks taking the stage:
Here’s a rundown of how it went:
Fresh Out of the Oven: “Dollhouse” 2×1
by Honk Mahfah on Sep.26, 2009, under Television, Whedonverse
Improbably, Joss Whedon’s newest baby, Dollhouse, got picked up for a second season, despite not being watched by more than about a hotel-room’s worth of people, and being liked by only two of them. When even your fans don’t like your show all that much, you know you’ve got issues.
And yet, here’s a second season!
Yay!
Beware of spoilers ahead. (continue reading…)
Fresh Out of the Oven: “Fringe” 2×2
by Honk Mahfah on Sep.25, 2009, under Fringe, Television
This was not exactly what I’d call a great episode of television, but it was good enough that I can now say I am officially onboard the Fringe season two bandwagon. While not qualifying as great, this episode nonetheless has enough spark and vitality to it — elements that were, more often than not, missing during first-season episodes — that I’m starting to feel pretty good about saying that Fringe, in its sophomore season, has turned a corner.
Fresh Out of the Oven: “FlashForward” 1×1
by Honk Mahfah on Sep.24, 2009, under Television
I don’t want to sound like one of those guys who is practically busting a nut to say that the pilot episode of FlashForward is kinda like a caffeine-free version of the pilot episode of Lost, but … well, it kinda is.
I do want to be one of those guys busting a nut to say that this is not entirely a bad thing.
Fresh Out of the Oven: NBC Thursday comedies, September 24, 2009

I feel ashamed and humiliated by life right now, because…
Well, because…
(Oh, how can I say this?)
Because…
Fresh Out of the Oven: “Mad Men” 3×6
by Honk Mahfah on Sep.24, 2009, under Mad Men, Television
Here’s the episode title: “Guy Walks into an Advertising Agency.”
If you have not seen this episode, and ever intend to, DO NOT read the rest of this review.
Seriously.
Stop.
Stop, Dave.
Won’t you stop, Dave?
Alright, jackanapes, you’ve been warned.
Fresh Out of the Oven: “Mad Men” 3×5
by Honk Mahfah on Sep.23, 2009, under Mad Men, Television
Still playing catch-up here.
“Tonight’s” episode is titled “The Fog,” and thankfully, not only is it better than the crappy horror remake with the same name from a few years back, it’s also better than the original John Carpenter movie of the same name.
Why do I mention that, you ask? Well, I thought it, so I typed it. Not much more to it than that.
Moving along…
Fresh Out of the Oven: “Mad Men” 3×4
by Honk Mahfah on Sep.23, 2009, under Mad Men, Television
In the episode “The Arrangements,” Betty is confronted by Gene, who has worked out the details of his will and final arrangements, much to her discomfort.
