I’ve been watching “Portlandia” from the first season, but, to be honest, I missed most of the third season. Somewhere between college admissions and trying to figure out my life, “Portlandia” fell through the cracks. So it’s great to come back to season four, which premiered Feb. 27, and find that the show is not only still good but also getting better.

After the stellar season two finale in the spring, the delicious “Gossip Girl” has returned for another season of scandal. Season three started on Monday—not quite with a bang, but certainly with at least a muffled boom.
