Andy reviewed 'Gotham' as 'well that happened' and reviewed the new Muppets as there were some good parts and there were some awful parts & some terrible jokes & that most of the reviewers just didn't 'get' the show & he reviewed the latest 'Dr Who' as it kind of held together & worth watching on BBC America - and Harold the Younger liked how the Doctor replaced the sonic screwdriver
