A Very Special Episode


TV Tuesdays at The Cinefamily
Los Angeles, CA
02/23/10
It’s an all-too-familiar conceit: the commercial fades up, a somber piano line is struck, and in a low, lugubrious rumble the announcer says “On a very special episode of…” Many a TV sitcom has been hazily defined in our memories by its “very special episodes”, the installments in which the monotony of its lameness is broken by a confusing left turn into cheap, sappy dramatics: one of the ensemble cast gains a drug addiction, has a brush with death, experiences violence that hits close to home, and so on.
