The former prisoner of the week is Cal Sweeney, who seduces lonely bank tellers in order to get at the safety deposit boxes in the bank (he never robs the vault in order to avoid a federal sentence, so I’m not exactly sure how he ended up in Alcatraz in the first place).

When one citizen states that he doesn’t think Leslie is the kind of person he’d go bowling with, Leslie can’t let it go, so she convinces Ben that organizing a free bowling night with Pawnee voters will be a good way of showing the public that she can be laid-back and fun. But of course, Leslie can’t help but ensure that the citizen who first made the bowling comment attends, and she can’t help but strive desperately toward convincing him that she is the right candidate for city council.

It’s been two weeks since Finn popped the question to Rachel, opening the possibility for all sorts of drama, but first things first: the formal Trouble Tones are annoyed they didn’t get to sing Michael Jackson at sectionals, and this simply cannot go unaddressed! “They Wanna Be Startin’ Something’,” so Blaine leads them on a musical romp through the school that finishes in the auditorium with everyone dressed in imitations of Michael’s most famous outfits – and this is only the first number!

At its peak, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! was one of the best, most subversive comedies on television. Bizarrist auteurs Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim gave us five seasons and a holiday special’s worth of hilarious non sequiturs, visual gags, fake infomercials and more guest appearances than you can shake a Cinco Pasta Bear at. When they announced plans to shoot a feature-length film, Awesome Show fans – myself included – rejoiced. Now, that film, Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie, is available on-demand via iTunes, Roku and a host of other media providers.

TV Recap: 30 Rock, “Today You Are a Man”
Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: If you don’t love Kristen Schaal, there’s something seriously wrong with you. She’s one of the funniest women in showbiz today, and just about every time she pops up in some movie or TV show, it’s terrific.

Schaal was on top of her game – funny, charming, weirdly sexy, and above all, goofy as hell. God bless that woman.
