CSI: Cyber 1.05 “Crowd Sourced”

Rick Shingler
April 24, 2015
Idiot Box, TV
Well, CSI: Cyber, you did it. You wore me down.

CSI: Cyber 1.04 “Fire Code”

Rick Shingler
April 13, 2015
Idiot Box, TV
Like a caveman warning against this fire everyone’s using, CSI: Cyber is determined to make me think twice about using electrical appliances.

CSI: Cyber 1.03 “Killer En Route”

Rick Shingler
April 12, 2015
Idiot Box, TV
I dunno. It was sort of like Bizarro-CSI: Cyber this week.

CSI: Cyber 1.02 “CMND:\Crash”

Rick Shingler
March 24, 2015
Idiot Box, TV
So, the CSI: Cyber villain du jour infiltrates the computerized safety mechanisms of a high-speed roller coaster and causes it to crash.

CSI: Cyber 1.01 “Kidnapping 2.0”

Rick Shingler
March 17, 2015
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
What better reason could there be to revive Idiot Box than CSI: Cyber? It's kind of self-explanatory.

Baywatch Nights 1.06 “976 Ways to Say I Love You”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
May 17, 2013
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
After last week’s debacle, Danny and Raf are primed and ready for this week’s debacle.

Baywatch Nights 1.05 “Just a Gigolo”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
May 3, 2013
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
I wasn’t sure what to expect from this episode, except that it might court the hot-button topic of male prostitutes in a way only Baywatch Nights can -- with ponderous detective skills.

Baywatch Nights 1.04 “Deadly Vision”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
April 26, 2013
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
What do mimes, rastafarians and Blues Traveler have to do with Baywatch Nights? Find out in this week's Idiot Box!

Baywatch Nights 1.03 “Silent Witness”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
April 20, 2013
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
An empty amusement park and a stripper who isn't a stripper cause Danny and Raf to have a lot of questions about this episode of Baywatch Nights.

Baywatch Nights 1.02 “Bad Blades”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
April 5, 2013
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
This week's installment of Danny and Raf's ongoing coverage of Baywatch Nights finds them analyzing an episode devoted to that most horrible of '90s villains-- roller blade gangs.

Baywatch Nights 1.01 “Pursuit”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
March 29, 2013
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
Danny Djeljosevic and Rafael Gaitan have chosen to watch and review every single episode of the detective-themed Baywatch spinoff Baywatch Nights. Nobody asked them to.

True Blood 4.09 “Let’s Get Out of Here”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
August 27, 2011
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
We didn't have much to say about True Blood this week.

True Blood 4.07 “Cold Grey Light of Dawn”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
August 14, 2011
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
Rafael Gaitan: We're now officially 58.3 % into True Blood, and boy is my patience tried! Danny Djeljosevic: ...you just calculated that, didn't you? Rafael: Oh, yeah -- I Rain Man'd that shit. But...

Falling Skies 1.09 “Mutiny” & 1.10 “Eight Hours” Two-Hour Season Finale

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
August 13, 2011
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
The vaguely-Steven-Spielberg-related sci-fi drama concludes! For this season, at least.

True Blood 4.06 “I Wish I Was The Moon”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
August 6, 2011
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
Vampires! Witches! Shapeshifters! Were-panthers! A line that unironically uses the word "necromancer!" A really good Neko Case song! Oh god, we're only halfway through this shit? Danny: I hear you have a...

True Blood 4.05 “Me and the Devil”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
August 4, 2011
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
Much to Raf's chagrin, the HBO series continues! In this episode, Andy Bellefleur becomes Boss Hogg, people get hypnotized and faces get post-Russell Edgington.

Falling Skies 1.06 “Sanctuary Part 1” & 1.07 “Sanctuary Part 2”

Danny Djeljosevic
July 31, 2011
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
While there's some intriguing bits in this two-parter, by the end it all feels cyclical.

True Blood 4.04 “I’m Alive and On Fire”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
July 29, 2011
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
Rafael: We are officially like a third of the season through. Danny: This episode picks up where the first left off, with Eric having eaten Cookie's Fairy Godmother. Then he tries to bite her. But that's...

True Blood 4.03 “If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin’?”

Danny Djeljosevic, Rafael Gaitan
July 16, 2011
Idiot Box, Reviews, TV
I love when Eric eats Cookie's fairy godmother.
