Johnny Rotten called and he wants his shirt back. Punk is making a comeback in a way you never thought it would. On May 9, the Costume Institute opens a new exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art called "Punk: Chaos to Couture." The New York Times called it "a blend of high and low culture, anarchic street style metamorphosed into impossibly chic fashion." Curated by Andrew Bolton, it examines the impact of punk on high fashion in the 1970s and traces it to modern day. The May issue of Vogue includes high-gloss images of several Met galleries' garb.

Yikes. That is the best word to sum up E!'s new reality show, "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?," which premiered Sunday evening. The show features none other than Olympic swimmer Lochte for a full half-hour, which is why a hearty series of "yikes" are in store. Yikes, how can E! have enough palatable material for an entire season? Yikes, who allowed Lochte, who has the looks of a Grecian god but significantly fewer speaking skills, to do endorsements beyond modeling? There are many questions here, and it is unlikely any of them are going to be answered.

Just 10 episodes later, the second season of HBO's "Girls" is over, and for regular viewers of the show, you'd be silly not to sit there scratching your head. If you're not an obsessed devotee, you've undoubtedly heard of creator Lena Dunham and her "voice of a generation" show that is transcending norms, focuses on white girls and is a signal of inventive television. After completing this season, I refrain from trying to abide by any established receptions of the show as "Girls" does not need a label. Really, it's quite simple: "Girls" is good television, cramming just about every emotional response toward its 20-something characters in its 20-something minutes. And oh, how riveting Dunham has made it.

Fresh off of its Golden Globe wins for best TV series and best actress for a comedy for Dunham, who beat out heralded comedy staples such as Tina Fey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Amy Poehler the second season of "Girls" should focus not on winning over its fans, but rather on capitalizing on its success and staying true to its highly praised quirky, fresh form.

The show featured two acts, each of which began with lighthearted fare before the lights dimmed and the audience adjusted to Lithgow's more formal storytelling. In both acts, Lithgow fused his own personal history with the reimagined telling of stories that he heard as a child and that he read to his father in his last months of life, acting out characters on a minimally decorated stage.
