Hollywood’s a fickle place, after all, and perhaps more averse to risk now than ever. Today, Bloody Disgusting…

The problem with airing an episode as momentous as “Brainwave Jr.” is that you have to figure out how to follow it up. Stargirl does so by switching tones entirely.

Television has rarely been funnier than the classic Sesame Street segment that finds young Joey Calvan testing the patience of Kermit The Frog.
