'Those Who Kill': Episode 6

Monday, 21 April 2014 12:00 AM Written by

chloes those who killA new record!

In Sunday's "Those Who Kill," the rhymes with shmag-off word got used within the first minute! Still no Yinzer accents though.

The episode began with Jensen cutting -- open a box, not her skin as she usually does -- as she moved into her new loft-like apartment, complaining about her step-father's Mt. Washington condo, which he charged her $25 a month to rent.

Then she burned a photo of her mother because, you know, Jensen is damaged, freaking out her medical examiner bestie who was helping with the move.

Sundance TV's 'Writers' Room' visits 'Scandal'

writers room scandal

Sundance TV's "The Writers' Room" (9 p.m. Friday), hosted by Jim Rash ("Community"), returns for a six-episode second season this week and begins with a look at the ABC series "Scandal."

"The Writers' Room" has ditched its first-season set -- designed to look like an actual writers room with guests seated around a long conference room table -- in favor of an exposed brick loft feel, which, while more pleasant, does nothing to replicate the look/feel of a real TV show writers' room.

"The Writers' Room" is probably more fun for those who do not follow TV closely. It does not offer a deep dive into the making of TV; it's more of a shallow dive.

TV review: 'Salem' on WGN America

Salem WGN

 

Another cable network rushes into the original scripted programming fray this weekend with WGN America’s debut of “Salem” (10 p.m. Sunday), a loopy but-not-loopy-enough witch show.

Set in 17th-century Massachusetts, the “Salem” pilot is long on set-up and doesn’t get crazy until about 30 minutes in when a witch appears to give the Heimlich to a wheelchair bound elderly man, who vomits up a frog, which then appears to suck on the witch’s thigh before she shoves the frog back down her husband’s throat.

Perhaps if “Salem” had gone for the crazy earlier – a literal backwoods, witchcraft-induced abortion isn’t as sensational – it might be more appealing to viewers with an appreciation for cheesy TV. But the “Salem” pilot is rather plodding except when occasionally punctuated by these more gonzo scenes.
