Sarah Silverman, Devastatingly Cute and Vice Versanew
In the first two second season episodes, Silverman's character takes a joyful trip down memory lane reliving her past abortions, sympathizes with a guy who had to give up crack and rigorously defends her right to lick a dog's anus. It's sick, stupid, brilliant and the bravest sitcom on TV.

Irish Ire in a Bizarro NYCnew
NBC's The Black Donnellys is not so much the sprawling epic of an Irish-American family's rise to power in organized crime, as it is a game of spot the rip-off.
