'King Baby' and 'Big Middle' Weekly Review Round-Up

CSI Files

Captain
February sweeps is over, and as usual, reviewers around the internet have a wide range of takes on CSI's last two episodes, "King Baby" and "Big Middle". Here are their takes. <ul>[*]"King Baby" may have been a ratings success, but <font color=yellow>Sobell</font>, of Television Without Pity, thought the episode was only worthy of a D. You can read her snarky report here.

[*]TV Tome's <font color=yellow>Ki's Empire</font>, however, found the episode much more refreshing:

<font color=yellow><blockquote>"King Baby has been called by some CSI fans online, "the best of the season so far", while I disagree with this statement I will say it was an intriguing, solid episode, with a good plot and also some good moments for our characters."

</font></blockquote>Ki's Empire gave the episode a B. You can read her review here.

[*]TV Guide's <font color=yellow>Rochell Thomas</font> may have been laughing too hard to pay much attention to King Baby":

<font color=yellow><blockquote>"I thought the Plushies conference was weird, but now I have seen everything. When Grissom popped open the secret door to that Wacko Jacko, playroom I was with Warrick, who said, "Get outta here." And when the clerk at the crazier-than-thou Forever Baby store asked Grissom, "Are you a drinker or a stinker?" it was all over. I rolled. Literally. I can barely type it without laughing. I mean, somebody please tell me there is no land of Baby Hueys where adult men live like infants. 'Cause I can't handle that. I can't."

</font></blockquote>Read Thomas's review at TV Guide's The Watercooler.

[*]<font color=yellow>Ki's Empire</font> wasn't expecting to like "Big Middle", but was pleasantly surprised by the way the writers handled the overweight issue. You can read her review of the episode at TV Tome.

[*]The Watercooler's <font color=yellow>Rochell Thomas</font> wasn't happy with the stereotypes presented in "Big Middle", but she's happy overweight actresses got the chance to work. Read her review of the episode at TV Guide.

[*]<font color=yellow>Sobell</font> found "Big Middle" was better than "King Baby", but was weary about the overweight issue. She gave the episode a C+. Read her review at Television Without Pity.

I think a D may have been a deserving grade, to be honest. I was thoroughly unimpressed and disgusted... but not in a good way.
