Changing Things Up

So in the past few months I have given up a few tv shows.

I watched a few eps of The New Girl before deciding I wasn't paying attention and so I stopped downloading it for a while and never missed it.
The same goes for Revenge. After the new year, I just never felt like watching the ep I had...and didn't really find myself liking it. Don't miss that one either.

I have been watching ER from the beginning this year. I'm currently up to season 3. So it'll take me a while to get up to season 15. But I loved that show. Its fun to go back to George Clooney when he was younger and a little less serious.
But I keep getting into trouble watching eps on the same night as The Good Wife...Julianna Margulies from 1996 to 2013...bit of a age difference. At least the different hair helps.

Ness and I are currently watching Season 5 of LOST. We keep dragging it out, so that sucks, cause there is good stuff in season 5. I loved Sawyer and Juliet.  But I'm glad we're dragging out the end of season 5....cause Juliet's death will make me cry again. -tooooooo sad!
As long as we finish season 5 before Revolution starts back again at the end of March...cause I can't deal with too much Elizabeth Mitchell...it will confuse me. -Cause I'll be up to eps of ER by then at this rate!
Speaking of confusing me, Once Upon A Time last week could have been called The LOST episode. Jorge Garcia, Alan Dale and Emilie DeRavin were all featured. There were references to a mysterious island, and to Ajira Airlines (which is the one the gang used to get back to the island in season 5)....I mean COME ON! 

30Rock finished up the other week. The end was really good, some nice sentimental stuff, and a bit of fun. The end was a little weird though, there wasn't any Liz and Jenna stuff. But the Liz and Jack stuff was good.

Community finally came back. Its not my fave show, but its still good fun to watch.

Haven't given up on Glee yet either actually....guess I still kinda enjoy it. I just wish Rachel was less annoying. She's getting too big for her britches!


More to come.

Slightly Quieter Times

So the last 2 weeks there hasn't been a lot on tv, with Thanksgiving shaking up programming, and things wrapping up for the holidays.
There is some good news, Bones is back and its awesome! The Booth and Brennan baby thing was a little weird to get used to at first, but that's fine now.

Rizzoli and Isles came back for the rest of the 2nd season, and so far it rocks! -Not that it wouldn't...I don't think there are too many BAD eps of that show. Sasha and Angie are too funny.

Katie Finneran and Jaime Pressley's show sadly is not great...its verging on not even good....I think the main problems are, A) they don't know what kind of audience they are aiming for... B) the writing needs work, C) I don't know how likeable the characters are....it doesn't feel like we really know them, which might make the two leads more accessible. -I admit there have been a few things that had me cracking up....and no I don't just mean Katie's expressions and voices....
Maybe there is still hope, there have only been 2 eps...who knows. But I'll keep watching as long as it is going...cause I'm loyal.

Still loving Suburgatory. But I swear they better handle this whole Dallas/George thing properly....it seems like they are really going to push for them to become a couple...but Dallas is married, so the writers are gonna have to do something before they can try to make them a couple....cause you can't just make George a homewreaker.
....Also, where's Ana?! I thought she was becoming a regular....and yet she's hardly been in the last few eps.

Up All Night is still good. Seems to be sharing the comedy -which is great. And those little girls that play Amy are adorable!

Parks and Rec just keeps making me happier and giddy like a school girl with all the Ben and Leslie stuff...its SO heartwarming! Still bummed about a severe lack of Ann...an entire Ann centric ep anyone?!
Community is still so so....but I'm bummed about it getting cut short this season. -not nice NBC!

Glee went from okay, to pretty good this week. I gotta say I really enjoy Sectionals without Rachel....allowed the others to shine...especially Quinn and Tina who NEVER get to sing anymore. -However I HATED their outfits. I loved the song at the end - very season 1, with lots of people getting a part. And yay...Quinn grew up....finally....but it was very sudden.  And of course New Directions was going to win, and of course the girls were going to come back. -I could have done without Sam coming back. Didn't work for me...also nobody seemed to care that he didn't actually attend the school anymore?! Does this competition even have rules?! Oh well. Looking forward to a proper Rachel solo in the not too far off future hopefully.

Once Upon is still going strong. And Pan Am is still awesome...yay for Dean and Collette!!!! - But I have a feeling that show might not be long for this world....boo. Revenge is not as good anymore, but I'm not giving up on it just yet.
I finally got caught up on Unforgettable. I'm really enjoying it, unfortunately its the last show on my list, cause I don't need to watch it right away - but I still enjoy it when I can find the time.
Ringer is starting to do my head in....but its still good.

Maybe over the break I'll get around to catching up on some of the other shows. But I'll probably just watch more old SNL and hopefully all the dvds I've bought lately, that are still sitting there unwatched!

Friday Night TV Madness

So because I was out Thursday night I was a day behind on my tv. But since I was A) pathetic & B) exhausted, I had no plans Friday night and was able to use that time to catch up. The Friday shows took ages to download, so while that was annoying, it made it easier.

Suburgatory was quite good. Ana was a bit scary, but in a good way. Lol. -I really liked Tessa's party dress!
Modern Family was ok, but I think I've stopped caring about that show. Its just not as funny anymore.
Revenge was pretty good, glad it was back again. And wow, Ringer just keeps getting more and more twisted. I love it!
Bones was good. Nice to see Daisy in it again. I thought I didn't like her, but she's pretty entertaining.
Community was very lame. I didn't care for the ep at all. -Gotta say that Jeff dressed up as The Dean, I swore he looked just like David Cross from Arrested Development.

Parks and Recs. SOOOOOO good. But I must have been tired, cause the stuff with Leslie and Ben at the end made me cry....and then very very happy!!!!
I gotta say, I know Amy Poehler is funny as heck, but she has really nailed the dramatic stuff this season!!!!
And YAY for Ann, and decent Ann too! When did Ron become Andy's dad?

Private Practice took its time downloading, and so I didn't get to watch it till Saturday lunchtime. But it was SOOO worth the wait. The first hour was awesome, the intervention thing was done really well. Caterina Scorsone did a fantastic job. I also thought it was good to see Charlotte's reactions to things, like not voting on giving Amelia drugs and knowing that she was lying through her teeth - given her drug history and friendship with Amelia!
It was good to finally see Addison step up and take a little responsibility for Amelia. It really was Addison, Charlotte...and apparently Sheldon's place to take on Amelia...as they are the only ones that were friendly, but it was good the others were there to help...an allied front is always good. -I still think it sucks that they never called Amelia's mother and brother in...maybe in the future.
-Sheldon is starting to freak me out...he's old enough to be Amelia's father, so any relationship there is just wrong...plus he's already been with Violet and Charlotte...how big of an office slut is he?!

There were a few funny moments, like Amelia chanting for drugs, the riddler convo, and Violet and Pete cracking up on the kitchen floor.

The 2nd half was good, but a little odd....like Violet and Addy being friends...its seems weird. Plus Charlotte is now on the outside. -I miss Violet and Charlotte with martinis.
Violet and Pete make me sad. I wish they'd get over their crap....cause they can't split...that'd ruin the show!
Cooper missing his kid's play was soooo predictable...poor Charlotte having to go without Cooper and sit in the front row...(still funny picturing Charlotte King playing video games...). I liked Charlotte's crack at Addison "10 miles of bad road" (whatever the heck that means), and Violet telling her off...it was a nice little flashback to the good old days....when Charlotte had spunk.

I guess its good that Jake got a little more backstory, a convenient tie-in too. But I just don't like him. I miss Naomi. Something feels wrong this season...and it can't be just that Naomi is gone, cause she was never there that much anyways....I'm still thrown by the fact that its been 9 eps and Char and Coop haven't mentioned sex once....what happened to these people?! lol

Oh...one more thing....did they actually celebrate a holiday/event in PPP?! They've never even referenced holidays before...and also....since when can Addison cook?! But it was still nice.

On a High Note

So overall I enjoyed this weeks tv muchly....except for Glee. -Okay it wasn't terrible, there were some good bits. I did like that Emma and Beast had some storylines. I liked that Mr Schue was barely in it. I also liked the intergration of the West Side Story music into the rest of the plot - it was pretty much a West Side Story ep, but much less IN YOUR FACE.  I missed Idina. -But it worries me just how few characters I even like anymore. I don't really like any of the kids...cept for Kurt. Rachel, while annoying, is actually consistent...and less in your face this season.

Parenthood was sooo good this week...the stuff with Seth and Amber made me cry! Poor Amber. I knew Seth was going to be trouble...oh Sarah...
As far as the other storylines...I'm pretty bored with the Crosby and Jasmine stuff...Dr Joe annoys me.  The Kristina stuff was ok, the new secretary was an old story though. BORING.
I liked Zeke having 'The Fever'...but he should just let Adam have it...he does it MUCH better.

I'm officially all caught up with Ringer. I've actually come to really enjoy it. It just gets twistier and twistier. I am liking that Juliet girl...she's interesting.

ALL the Thursday tv was good. Parks and Rec was hilarious, yet all the Leslie and Ben stuff still made me sad. -I did love the ref to Mighty Ducks 2 by Andy.  Oh and I LOVED that Ann got to do more this week!
Community's weird musical thing was weird, but good. And I couldn't help "awwing" for the little puppet show Abed and Troy put on for Annie.
Bones was good. Lots of good Booth and Brennan stuff. New Squintern is interesting...the stuff with Hodgins was both funny, and weird...and kinda mean. -The snake was kinda cool too...

Grey's was awesome! Sadly that's the last ep for this year :( But what an ep. Poor Henry....he was a gonna from the start. And poor Teddy, they shouldn't have lied to her, but it was necessary for the sake of her patient. I didn't quite get the whole Ambulance breaking down thing...and it didn't explode like they said it would....but for a few seconds there it was scary!  Poor Mer and Der...they need baby Zola back.

Private Practice was good this week. Finally a good Charlotte ep -I realise that whethe or not there is good Charlotte stuff is not the same as A good ep, but there WAS good Charlotte stuff in addition to other good stuff. I liked that Charlotte got to do fun stuff -like making fun of the cupcakes and playing wii tennis with Mason, in addition to the trying to stop Amelia from taking prescription pads. -Which speaking of...I gotta mention that when Amelia started pushing Charlotte....I found myself wondering who would win in a fight between those two...I can't decide.
They were right, this ep WAS funny. I loved Sheldon and the cupcakes. I loved the codeword 'tacos' when discussing Amelia in front of Mason. I loved the end with Char and Coop playing with Mason - always said Charlotte would be better with an older kid...-Violet's the only one who hasn't met him...which seems odd...
And its official, Char and Coop need a house. Or at least a bigger apartment. Mason can't sleep on the couch all the time when he visits.
Poor Amelia...oh and yay for Addison finally stepping in! -The stuff with Amelia's story is soooo sad, and when she moved from pills onto the hard stuff....ugh, it hurt. -Can't wait for next week's 2 hour double ep! -PPP has never done a 2 hour ep before. -Caterina Scorsone is rocking it this season!
-oh and points for referencing Violet and Cooper's fave show American Bakeoff!

The TV Has Returned!

So all the FOX shows were back this week, as was Parenthood.

Tuesday night saw a good ep of Parenthood, but I am SO over Jasmine. She needs to go or get back with Crosby.
Poor crazy Kristina, it's not too much to ask for a little bit of family time is it?
Still loving the adorableness that is Mark and Sarah. Pity it's not going to last.

Enjoyed Raising Hope, but I still don't know if it's up to the quality of last yeah. A least Shelly was back in it this week. There is not enough Sabrina either.
Still on the fence with The New Girl. I liked this ep better, but it's still not great.
Glee was also not great this week. The songs were meh and the stories were annoying. Yay for Idina, but that thing with Shelby and Puck was semi icky.

Liked Revenge this week, having the real Emily Thorne turn up was interesting. Looking forward to where that goes. Also, Declan is annoying and stupid.

Modern Family, Up All Night and Suburgatory were ok, but not great. - Community also sucked.

Parks and Rec was good, yay for Ann (all 5 seconds of her) - and Ann and Leslie at that! But the stuff with Leslie and Ben just makes me sad. Which is odd for a comedy. But they are just too cute together.

Bones is back baby! Plenty of cute stuff, especially the scene with Angela, Hodgins, Cam and the baby. Adorable! Booth and Bones as a couple is weird, but good. I'll adjust.

Grey's was good this week, I really enjoyed the Heart in a Box/Magic 8 Ball thing, it made for good Christina stuff. The whole Mrs O'Malley turning up was kinda strange, but good. I liked the reminiscing about George -which doesn't happen a lot when characters die/leave. -Points for mentioning Izzie once. Mark and Jackson's Bromance is too funny. I am really enjoying the Mark stuff lately, he's more interesting when he has no life.

PPP was good, but weird. It worries me when Addison is leading the comedy and light hearted storylines. Amelia had entertaining stuff...including waking up the stranger in her bed. But the rest of it was a downer. Charlotte's flashbacks to the origin of her pill problem was kinda strange, and not just because of the REALLY bad dark wig they had on her. Anyone remember when Charlotte was fun? I miss building a bathroom Charlotte, and dress up in crazy outfits Charlotte. -And can Addison even acknowledge Amelia already?!  Speaking of....the whole Sam helping pick out the sperm donor is just wrong on SO many levels. Sorry Sam, you gotta go!

And that concludes last week's tv. Tomorrow will bring a whole new lot of awesomeness and probably some crappiness too.

Halloween Week

So there have been a few Halloween themed eps this week, some good some bad.
Parks and Rec was adorable this week, Andy and April had a Halloween party, and Leslie and Tom were off doing work stuff, but it ended cute. -Also Ann got to do more which was fun. I have no idea what is going on with Ann...are they phasing her out?!
Community also had a good Halloween ep. It was really weird and in some placed dumb, but I enjoyed the 'ghost stories'.

Grey's had the whole group playing Softball....for some weird reason, but it made for plenty of cute/silly moments. -I loved Meredith getting drunk....the fighting with Bailey was both good and bad...it just felt wrong somehow...I know Mer did wrong, but Bailey is less fun when she's angry all the time.
Yay for more Scott Foley....and also time outside the hospital....overall he's pretty useless though...they never spend much time on him and Teddy alone...they always seem to be with other characters.   -Yay for Christina graduating from the Teddy school of surgery - yay she learned something!!!

The PPP was good this week, but really sad. Yay for Amelia getting a big storyline, even if it was really sad and depressing. Addison found the funny, which makes me glad. I used to find her funny, but she's been annoying lately, but her doped up with hormones made for entertaining stuff...especially the scene with the doughnut-holes. Cooper's kid storyline is still not fun, but hopefully should get better soon....it will be fun to see Charlotte deal with a kid. -Speaking of, VERY light Char ep this week, she had 1 proper scene and one ER scene which doesn't really count. Also I miss Char and Cooper, they lost the funny again, they need to bring that back PRONTO!   -I'm glad Pete is being nicer to Violet. His bad attitude was getting old.
-Oh and I liked the call backs - Pete and Joel Grey's character from season 2, and Naomi and her food.


A few other shows weren't on this week. No Up All Night, no Modern Family, no Parenthood. And still no Fox shows. But luckily they'll be back next week and they're bringing Bones with them!

Revenge wasn't as good this week, hope it gets back to being good...cause that'll suck if it goes bad.  Pan Am is still great, but hasn't been picked up yet...which is a worry. 

Once Upon a Time started this week. It's really weird, which makes me think it won't last. It's quite out there. I don't know if I like it yet, but I didn't hate the pilot...in fact it gave me a happy feeling.

I'm still catching up on Ringer and Unforgettable. Which doesn't bode well that I don't LOVE them but I'm still giving them a chance.
I started season 3 of 90210 on dvd, so I'm trying to get through that when I can. There is never enough time for all the TV.

Extreme TV!

So this week I've found myself watching more tv than usual....although since the FOX shows are off till November, I do have a little more time.

Highlights of this week.

Parenthood - Seth came back drunk and is gonna cause trouble for Sarah and Mark, which sucks cause they are so cute! I found great amusement in Seth calling Mark 'Captain Morgan'. But the funniest moment was when Adam came out dressed in his street gear....I almost couldn't stop myself from laughing to keep watching!
Amber was enlisted to help Max understand apologies. And Kristina FINALLY had her baby! But Nora is a weird name and I don't like it. - Oh and that coffee girl decided to give Julia her baby!

Suburgatory was excellent this week! Plenty of Ana Gastyer which made for plenty of hilarity. Jeremy Sisto is starting to become more believable to me as a dad too which is helping. And yay for it getting a full season pickup!

Grey's was good..ish. Oh Lexie come back already! But yay for bringing baby Zola back...even if she was just a patient. But the stuff with her was toooo cute. -I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Mer and Der are gonna get her back...cause otherwise bringing her back is just a tease. Get on with it!!!!
Poor April....she needs to learn to filter her facebook apparently...eek. Jackson's mom was a bit scary, but not nearly as bad as Ellis Grey! Yay for Scott Foley! But give him more than 1 little scene...boring. And yay for Bailey breaking up with that nurse guy...he was ANNOYING! This ep was rather Callie light too, which was dissapointing after an all boys ep. But overall good ep.

PPP was good this week, much more enjoyable than last week. However...that ending did not please me. I'm not sure I'm liking where this Cooper/Charlotte storyline is going...but I guess I have to trust the writers. I love that Jake has become the guru for the guys. -His office is huge...apparently that floor has had a complete remodel, with Sheldon also getting a new, smaller office. -Gotta mention the big round window outside Jake's office - did OWG just become the Morgue from Crossing Jordan?!
I also found it odd that they were hanging out in the 'coffee/lounge' area...was the kitchen being cleaned?!
Yay for Amelia having good storylines. Michaela Watkins is hilarious. I miss her on SNL! Sheldon is spending all his time helping Pete and keeping an eye on Amelia who is fighting with Charlotte. - I got a kick out of Charlotte calling herself "The Wicked Witch of St Ambrose"...while wearing a green dress.... I hope those two make up soon.
Also in this episode...we learned Violet is not allowed to be amongst the people...I hope she gets her license back soon, or poor Lucas is going to have an even crazier mom!  And...Addison was there...oh yeah, she and Violet are now 'friends' as opposed to whatever they were before....I dunno it was weird. I miss Naomi! She balanced the girls better.
-Odd note....if that kid Mason is in fact Cooper's son....his next kid will have to be called Thatcher or Hunter or something...

Community was also great this week. I hate that that show is so hit and miss. For every golden ep, they have at least 2 bad ones.  But the different timelines was excellent! But I find it interesting that everyone has more fun and gets along better without Jeff around.

Parks and Recs was good, but what the heck is going on with Ann?! They hardly do anything with her anymore...and are she and Leslie even friends anymore? Cause you wouldn't know it with the way they seem to ignore each other! I LOVED Ben buying the Batman suit! Too funny!

I also watched some new shows last night. Finally got around to trying out hour long shows. I watched Revenge which was really good!!! I also watched Pan Am which was good, but not great. I'll try to get around to Unforgettable and A Gifted Man if I can find the time!

TV Triumphs and Fails

So this week was the first cancellation of shows that I was watching. Free Agents with Kathryn Hahn got the axe. I'm okay with that, I liked it, but thought it really should have been a lot better. So at least that's one less show to watch each week.

Parenthood was great this week, with Max and Jabbar fighting over Max making him sit with him at lunch. Good storyline. I also like Drew and his girlfriend, cause its so adorable. And yay for more Sarah and Mr Cyr....or whatever his real name is. I could have lived without the Zeke storyline though...ick

I loved the Grey's 'Boys ep'. It actually worked really well. Although the fact that they all spent most of the ep building Derek's deck was a little odd. But Sloan and Derek fighting over Avery...and the Chief (cause he will always be The Chief) helping out Alex with an excuse for being late....were pretty funny. Overall I didn't hate it at all, like I thought I would.
-Oh and Sloan letting baby Sofia role off the couch and under the table was kinda hilarious. And that geek being in love with April was adorable...till she didn't know of Hobbits.

PPP was okay, but not as fun as the 1st ep of the season. Cooper was being stupid! How many times is he going to get into trouble?! - But I did like the little call-backs with his attempts at Charlotte's password. He's lucky Charlotte is a good problem solver, otherwise her job could have been on the line!
Amelia has apparently moved into Addison's house and Addison has moved in with Sam...so I guess that's one way of saving on sets. Amelia is sober, she's gonna get to cut....and so now she's drinking again....Boo. Bad Amelia. And Poor Violet...she's stuck - not being able to work and dealing with a grumpy Pete.
Still not loving Pineapple Guy...or Fiji Guy as I think we are now calling him. Maybe he'll grow on me. I'll try to like him better. -I think my fave scene of the ep was Violet and Sheldon gossiping about him and Addy.
-I also forgot to mention that it was weird watching last week's season premiere without Ness...since we have watched the last 3 season prems together. - not to mention pretty much all the eps from the 2nd half of last season. But I'd adjusted by this week.

P-Rex was hilarious as usual. I loved that Leslie was born in Eagleton....but I saw that coming the second they said she wasn't born in Pawnee....Chris Pratt was hilarious!!!!!!
Community was weird this week...too much Chang...and it was super creepy!
Modern Family was good, but Cam and Mitchell's storylines are getting annoying.
Up All Night was good again this week. I'm definitely loving the show, but would probably still okay if it got canned.
There were also 2 eps of Raising Hope this week for some reason. The Tuesday ep was a bit meh, but the Wednesday ep was awesome! I love Sabrina!
Oh and Melissa McCarthy was HILARIOUS on SNL! Loved it!

Thursday Nights Are Alright!

So I'm so happy to have my Thursday (Friday, Aussie time) night tv back! Grey's Anatomy's 2 hour season premiere was awesome. So Meredith went crazy...and hid the very very super adorable baby Zola when the social worker was onto the fact that Meredith and Derek were separated. Alex helped...and seems to have sorta smoothed things over with the gang. Oh and there was a giant hole in the ground! That was cool.

Community is still weird, but likeable. There's always something that's entertaining about it. -And so far there is plenty of Annie, which I like! Last week's ep with Britta in the cage was HI-larious! I couldn't stop laughing!

Having been watching seasons 1 and 2 of Parks and Recreation on dvd over the break, I was a little unsure how how things ended last season...but I quickly got back up to speed. The scenes with Ben and Leslie were toooo cute....I really like them as a couple! I hope they don't keep them apart!

Private Practice was back last week. FINALLY! I was going crazy...luckily I had season 4 to keep me sane. I finished the last ep before watching the first ep of season 5 -which I LOVED by the way! Charlotte was being very cute...she found the funny again! Amelia cracks me up, even when she's drunk and bleeding! Awesome! I liked the refs to the last 2 season finales with death and tragedy for the gang...and it was refreshing for Addison to not be responsible for saving any lives for once! She just got to hang with the cutest little boy on tv Lucas. -I totally have a baby crush on him! Poor Cooper...bad doctoring Sam...look around before yelling CLEAR! Oh yeah and Pete is okay...but we knew that'd work out.
-So overall I didn't miss Naomi at all....which is a little sad. Benjamin Bratt's character turned up right at the end....and I gotta say, I'm not on board with him yet. Especially since he's jumping into the middle of the credits, between Tim and Paul, in my book that's not so cool, to get higher billing than characters that have been there 4 seasons already! But maybe Shonda will make me love him! Who knows, but so far season 5 is off to a great start!


In other non-Thursday night tv news - I gotta talk about the Weeds finale....cause ooooo that was an awesome way to end it. It works as a series finale, or as a season finale....its about time someone tried to blow away Nancy. She's getting to big for her boots!
Oh and also....The Big C finale! I sorta saw the end coming, but when it clicked right at the end...I burst into tears! It was so sad. Enough with the ultra sad season finales!!!!

Ep 2 of The New Girl wasn't much better...I hate to admit that I don't think I'll be able to love that show. I do love Free Agents - which means it'll get the axe...but its not THAT good, that I would be overly upset. Up All Night was better last week too! But way too many SNL people for 1 ep!
Modern Family is a bit bleh these days. Its lost something....
I watched the first ep of Suburgatory - its not terrible, and could be good. We'll see.
I also thought the season premiere of SNL with Alec Baldwin wasn't THAT great, and wasn't that funny overall.
Idina Menzel was back in Glee last week - that was awesome, but I'm still not sure about Glee as a whole. It could go either way at this point.
And lastly, I got a major kick out of all the short jokes in last week's ep of Raising Hope! I do love that show to pieces!

Carlie

TV IS BACK!!!!

Some of the shows started up last week, and some started this week...and some don't start till next week, but its all coming back now and I'm feeling good.

Parenthood started back last week...and there were some HILARIOUS dancing scenes. They brought back Adam and 'the fever'. They've also brought back Jason Ritter, who I just love, and him and Lauren have really good chemistry!

Yesterday I watched new Glee and Raising Hope (and Parenthood and The Big C) on my fancy new WD TV live media player...which is SO awesome. Got it last weekend, and it plays everything...even the stuff I download off youtube! It'd be fun to watch Puppy Love on the big screen!
I was worried about Raising Hope being less good now that Hope was growing up...but she's still pretty cute. The ep wasn't great, but still good, and I bet will get better.

I'm not sure what to make of Glee. I was prepared to hate it. But I was impressed with all the Emma...which I'm taking to mean - that's all we get for the whole season. Rachel is still kinda annoying, but overall I didn't HATE it. The songs were kinda cool, and there may be hope yet. I dunno...I won't call it quits just yet - Idina Menzel will be back in it next week, so I have NO CHOICE but to keep watching for now anyways.

Modern Family started out okay, the holiday to Wyoming was weird, but entertaining. New grown up Lily is both cute and freaky at the same time...which worries me. But at least she has expressions! We'll see how things go.


Then there are the new shows.

The New Girl - Not sure about it. I love Zooey, but her character seems like she could get annoying on a weekly basis. But I'll keep watching.

Up All Night - I loved the pilot. Ep 2 was not as good, but there were plenty of laughs to be had still. Maya Rudolph is AWESOME! (duh!)

Free Agents - I know I should kinda hate it, but I LOVE it. It makes me laugh. Kathryn Hahn is hilarious! The others are pretty funny. Hank Azaria is great too! Anthony Stewart Head weirds me out though.


Tomorrow sees the return of P-Rex, Community and Grey's Anatomy with a 2 hour premeire...so no PPP till next week, but I'll cope. -Season 4 arrived today!

2011 Season Finale Scorecard

Overall I must say nothing was fantastically awesome. There were no HUGE cliffhangers, no screaming at my computer/tv, no rivers of tears, no big deaths or accidents. It was a rather relaxing, almost boring finale season.
I’ve decided to do a little summary of the finales, and rate them on a 1-10 scale - 1 being lame for a season finale (but not necessarily as an ep) and 10 being absolute awesomeness.

These are my shows...in no particular order....

Parenthood – After a big cliffhanger in the pen-ultimate season 2 ep with Amber in the car accident, we spent the finale dealing with Sarah and Amber’s relationship, and wrapping up a few storylines like Jasmine and Crosby. Heading into season 3, we have Joel and Julia wanting to adopt, and a huge bomb drop (that I saw coming for a good deal of the finale), Kristina is pregnant...so that’s gonna get interesting!
Season Finale Rating: 7/10
Season Rating Overall: 8/10 –just as good, if not better than the first season.

Hopes for next season: I hope to see Sarah continue to grow professionally. I hope Amber takes some of what happened to her and moves on in a good direction. –If she is serious about some sort of study, I’d like to see her take classes at community college or something.

30 Rock – TGS is winding down for summer. Liz heads out to the Hamptons for her summer break Tracy’s there to ruin it all. Not a whole lot else happened. Jack turned Kenneth into his wife.... I did like that scene at the end where they all end up in the same place in Central Park. Overall it was lame, boring and not even that funny. But it did have some good guest stars.
Season Finale Rating: 4/10
Season Rating Overall: 7/10 – Much more interesting and funnier than last season.

Hopes for next season: Well you never know where they are going to take this show, but I’d like to see Liz find her way a little more...especially if it ends up being the final season.

Raising Hope – The finale was not my fave ep this season, but it was still good. We flashed back 5 years to an 18yold Jimmy, with a very different look on life. We saw glimpses into the pasts of our other characters too, from Hope’s mother, to a geeky Sabrina who turns out had a crush on Jimmy and never knew it was Jimmy because of the costume! – So I’m looking forward to see where they take these 2 next season. I want them to get together, but at the same time...it’s fun watching him being absolutely hopeless.
Season Finale Rating: 6.5/10

Hopes for next season: I hope they this show stays strong in its second season, some shows don’t. I’d like to see Sabrina and Jimmy together...but then it might ruin it, so maybe not. I also hope they bring Shelley back – I like the singing!

Community – I liked the first part of the 2 part finale better, but the 2^nd half and actual final episode of season 2 was excellent. Paintball continued - changing themes to Star Wars and the gang were able to score the win for Greendale with Pierce saving the day. Best part was that Chang didn’t speak in the ep! No idea where we are headed next season, but I’ve learned to expect everything and nothing from Community!
Season Finale Rating: 8/10
Season Rating Overall: 7/10 –Still strong this season, although some eps really sucked, but the great ones made up for them.

Hopes for next season: My only wish for this show is that it can keep up the good episodes, and limit the bad or boring. I also hope for less Chang – but I doubt that’ll happen. Bring back Troy and Abed in the morning – that was great, or at least other stuff with Troy and Abed.

Parks and Recreation – Not a fantastic finale, but entertaining enough. Comedy shows these days don’t seem to do anything huge for finales –or maybe it is just that they don’t know they if they are coming back next season. I liked the final ep of season 3. The Lil Sebastian funeral was weird and funny. I liked the lead in for a potential new job for Leslie and also the introduction of Ron’s first wife who I’m very much looking forward to see who is going to play her.
Season Finale Rating: 7/10
Season Rating Overall: 7/10 –Not as strong as season 2, still strong though - just needs to figure out how to keep Chris interesting.

Hopes for next season: I hope they do something more interesting with Rob Lowe’s character...he’s not my fave, and tends to get boring at times. Maybe get Chris and Anne back together. I also hope that Leslie and Ben don’t get annoying. I think they are cute, but in a show like this it could get really annoying really quickly!

Grey’s Anatomy – Overall kind of boring. Last season was awesome, but huge and not possible to top, so I wasn’t expecting that much. They announced that April was Chief Resident, and Teddy and that guy (Scott Foley) became an actual couple – not that I cared one inch about that storyline...I thought they’d kill him or something. Oh yeah, and BIG news - Christina is pregnant, and she's not interested in having kids! And they split up the main couples, so I guess we’ll see if they get come back together, or split for good.
Season Finale Rating: 5/10
Season Rating Overall: 7/10 –Had some low points, but still a great season.

Hopes for next season: Part of me hopes Christina sticks to her guns –I don’t see her with a baby at all. I also don’t really care about her and Owen either. I hope Meredith and Derek can work things out – but it Patrick Dempsey is leaving after season 8, I hope they handle things well. I’m still torn over whether I can accept Grey’s Anatomy without Ellen Pompeo if she decides to leave too. I don’t like Lexie enough or thing she has enough depth to serve as the title character. But at the same time, I don’t want to say goodbye to Arizona or Mark or others. –Although Mark should totally go to LA :P
I’d also like to see Alex get it together again. I am sick of him going from jerk to good guy and back again. I like him a lot when he’s decent. I also hope he and Meredith can become friends again.

Private Practice – Overall probably one of the better season finales of the group – if only for the cliffhanger ending! Poor Pete! Also they said goodbye to Naomi and created lead ins for next season. I’m looking forward to seeing what changes next season, whether they will change the office/s or just the general organization and name. However, this is the least stressful season finale this show has had (season 1 doesn’t count), the last 2 seasons had majorly sad and stressful finales.
Season Finale Rating: 8/10
Season Rating Overall: 8.5/10 –This has been probably the best season of the PPP so far. They brought out all the stops and had very few filler eps. Let’s hope next season can be just as awesome!

Hopes for next Season: I hope to see Amelia come through her troubles (but I’m assuming not before some serious damage). I also hope Addison takes notice of Amelia’s troubles. I hope to see Amelia get her own life and own place. I hope to see Sheldon get a life too! Charlotte and Cooper will always need some kind of drama – maybe a new place and/or more kid discussion. As for the practice itself, I’m looking forward to seeing where this new regroup takes them all –but I hope not too much changes. I also hope Benjamin Bratt’s character is likeable, and does not take over too much from our other characters, some don’t get enough attention as it is!

Glee –Big New York episode with the gang in town for Nationals....however this show has thrown all rationality out the window, and had the gang still writing their own songs the day before the competition – hard to respect them, or want them to win when they don’t really try. Of course they didn’t win, but they had some good times. Hard to knock the ep, just on the fact that Rachel and Kurt sang ‘For Good’ from Wicked ON the Wicked stage at the Gershwin Theater! Won points for not letting the guest stars take over, but lost points for not letting Mercedes sing EVER, and not making me care if they won or not.
Season Finale Rating: 7/10
Season Rating Overall: 6/10 – Sorry Glee, but you’re quickly starting to lose my respect and adoration. I still will keep watching for a while, but I’m just not feeling the magic that those early season 1 episodes had. Bring back the smart, and use your talent!

Hopes for next season:  I hope they figure out the balance of actors better. I hope that Mercedes and Puck get far better treatment, and that attempt to bring back the smart and dark quality it had in season 1. But I fear it has gone too far into teenland to be what I want it to be.

Modern Family – Kinda boring in my opinion. Jay had a birthday, everyone was organizing their presents...blah blah blah. It wasn’t even that funny for a regular ep –let alone a finale, very disappointing!
Season Finale Rating: 3/10
Season Rating Overall: 7/10 –Good season, nothing huge stood out for me this season though.

Hopes for Next Season: I hope they can keep this show fresh, and keep up the comedy. They’ve done well so far. I’m hoping for great comedy from Luke, Gloria, and Phil!

 

The Good Wife –Probably one of the better finales this year. Alicia and Peter are split – loving it! Alicia and Will are finally trying things out – LOVING it! The case was semi interesting, and we’re leading into next season with Peter back as States Attorney  - so its going to be really interesting to see how that works with him against Alicia in court!
Season Finale Rating: 8.5/10
Season Rating Overall: 8/10 –I think I actually enjoyed this season better than last! I liked having less Peter, and the stuff with the firm was awesome!

Hopes for Next Season: I hope that they make me like Kalinda again...she was getting annoying by the end of the season. I liked her better before all her past came out. But I loved the stuff with Bond and the others at Lockhart Gardner. That takeover was pretty cool! I hope they keep that stuff interesting next season...and as usual I hope that Diane gets a few more comedic moments, because Christine Baranski is SO funny! As for Alicia and Will...well time will tell how that’s gonna work out next season!

Brothers and Sisters – Well it’s a little unfair to rate this one against the others, as it turned out this was the last episode of Brothers & Sisters we will ever get. But it served its purpose. Sarah’s wedding was fun. Tommy showed up, as did Paige and Cooper. Sarah made peace with Brody, and Nora closed the episode talking about family. While there were many loose ends left behind, it still left me feeling satisfied with its ending – as one can when the writers didn’t know it was ending. While this was one show I was okay with letting go, I imagine come September, I’ll still be expecting it to start up again. I hope the cast can find good projects to move on with in the not too far off future.
Season Finale Rating: 8.5/10
Series Finale Rating: Hard to rate, not one of the best finales ever, but a lot better than some of my other shows that have gone off the air! But I’d give it a 6.5-7/10.
Season Rating Overall: 5/10 Sadly, I did not really enjoy this season. I didn’t love last season either. One reason I’m glad that this series came to a close – it was turning way too much into a soap opera...and it was walking at thin line from the beginning. –I miss Tom Skerritt! I will miss Sally Field on my tv each week though!

 

So that was last season, can’t wait to see what the new season will bring. New cast members, new sets, and who knows what people will do to their hair over the summer – long, short, different colored, who got a good tan –its always fun to see how relaxed and rested everybody looks those first few eps back!

More importantly, hopefully I won’t have to say goodbye to any more shows for a while. It was a good year, not a great year of TV, and hopefully next year will be just as good, if not better!
Till then, I’ve got my summer shows to tie me over, and then there are my many dvds. I might have to pull out one of the classics for a re-watch – especially if I don’t get a job anytime soon!

Penultimate Eps, Finales, and Randoms

Here is my thoughts on my tv viewing since Saturday. I’ve still got a few things left from last week to catch up on, but I wanted to share my thoughts so far.

Grey’s Anatomy - There was a lot of backstabbing and making tough choices in this ep. - April telling on Christina, Lucy taking Alex’s job in Africa, and Alex revealing what Meredith did.
Christina really is a problem...I want to like her, I want her to be doing the awesome heart surgery that she can do, but she keeps pushing away all her teachers and getting banned from surgeries. I’m getting sick of that. But I guess at least she won’t be Chief Resident! I’m guessing now that either April or Alex will be the choice. 

Lucy HAD to go! So glad that Alex is not going to Africa, but it did suck that Lucy stole the job out from under him, especially when he was willing to turn it down cause he was interested in being with her. Poor Alex –no luck when it comes to relationships. But the way he just blurted out Meredith’s secret to was mean. Alex and Meredith always sort of had each other’s backs –both being messed up people, and pretty much brother and sister; but now he’s gone too far –he was drunk and hurting and told Hunt that Meredith switched the trial packets.

Meredith and Derek with the baby are so cute. I liked that even though it was all about the medicine, what she said to the social worker still proved that she was invested in Zola.
Sloan carrying around the baby all ep was both adorable and annoying...don’t these people do any doctoring anymore?! But Callie was back in the zone...till Sofia showed up. –But very cute baby, I’m just going to keep saying it!
It was so funny having that patient and his family mad at April. –April is so annoying - but not in a terrible way anymore.    And sorry, SO not caring about Teddy’s storyline. I don’t love that she spends more of the time outside the hospital these days, and I don’t love Scott Foley’s character. I don’t love the other guy either. I just really don’t care about Teddy’s love life. –But she can’t move to Germany...but then again, would I really notice if she was gone?! 

Big finale week next week...no idea about what is happening, but after all the death and carnage (in both shows) last year, I’m hoping for no big deaths, and anticipating lots of professional carnage. 

Private Practice - Poor Betsey. Shonda has really put that little girl through the works. But gotta give props to Hailey Sole for her acting chops, it can’t be easy to play Betsey’s storyline. Her saying that people die in that hospital was heartbreaking, and brought back all the stress from losing Dell last season. So cute when Cooper and Naomi walked in, but so sad when she was mad at Violet for not visiting. –Which is totally fair though. Poor Violet is mad that they all abandoned her, and that she couldn’t keep Betsey…but Naomi getting mad at them is just wrong! She wasn’t there!
That kid was scary…poor Betsey, and then to have the foster parents just abandon her…she can’t catch a break! While I didn’t really want any of them to take Betsey, I was glad that Naomi did- that part was really sweet, and the best option. I don’t think Violet and Pete are ready, and Charlotte and Cooper are not right for Betsey either…although I think there might be a kid in their not too far off future – maybe more kid talk next season.

The whole abortion storyline was pretty heavy too. It was rather graphic, in an educational way. I accept that Naomi has to represent her opinion but her talking to that girl was wrong – not to mention holding Olivia the whole time, I mean that’s just MEAN! Addison had her own issues, but put the patient and medicine first- power to her. It was kinda sad her talking about her baby with Sloan back in the day…and how ‘she’ would have been in school now. –BTW Addison has bad math…her kid would only be turning 5…not 6.

Sheldon playing with Olivia was too cute. But give him his own storyline already!!! –Also liked the line about if people get married, and no one witnesses it, did it actually happen. – a funny little dig.

Amelia is falling off the wagon…not sure about all that, Amelia’s drug problem seems to have become a big alcohol problem…I understand that it’s a gateway, but Amelia’s been drinking plenty in the earlier half of the season with no real issue. –Charlotte hugging her was just WEIRD…Charlotte not being at all a ‘huggy’ person, but I guess it’s a sign of how much Charlotte has softened and how close the two have become this season. But I didn’t like Amelia doubting herself and all shaky after Betsey’s surgery. And Speaking of drinking, has Little Miss Martini given up drinking now? I know she’s been going to meetings with Amelia after her ordeal, where she was at risk of relapsing...but its hard to imagine Charlotte never drinking her martinis ever again.

Not sure how they’re going to end the season…I have no idea where Naomi is going to go if she’s got Betsey, and isn’t going to DC with Fife. It can’t be as sad as last year, but knowing Shonda, its probably not going to be a happy hour of tv.

Glee - So I had to wait till I saw Ness to watch Glee (and everything else) this week. It sucked, I’ve never had to wait this long before! But it wasn’t too bad. It doesn’t have that ‘dying to watch it’ quality it used to. Because it is no longer awesome. But I did love the ep this week. I was a bit iffy about Prom, but I enjoyed the ep on a whole. I didn’t really love any of the songs though. – I did kinda like Dancing Queen; it’s about time they did some ABBA. –Brittany and Tina seem to have been reduced to back-up singers. I miss the days of less solos and duets, with more group songs with lines here and there. –When the wealth was shared around more.

Making Kurt Prom Queen was very interesting, and it worked. I really love having Kurt back where he belongs. Quinn’s dress was easily my fave – SO pretty! Rachel looked nice too. I loved Brittany’s tiny hat – see she’s ‘the hat girl’.
I didn’t love Jonathon Groff’s reappearance, I just don’t love him. But he didn’t take over so that was okay I suppose.

Raising Hope - Ness was nice enough to let me download it while I was at her place, so I didn’t have to wait till Tuesday to watch it. I enjoyed Jaime Pressly being in the ep. She and the husband were both in My Name is Earl which is by the same guy that does Raising Hope.

I LOVED Sabrina’s ad for the store…but the singing with baby Hope was weird. Shannon Woodward has a nice voice!

SNL - Tina Fey was awesome as usual! I also loved that Maya Rudolph and Darrell Hammond made an appearance, in fact Maya turned up in a few sketches!

I was a little disappointed that Tina didn’t make an appearance in Weekend Update, but that’s okay. –Gotta say this ep was very Vanessa Bayer heavy, which is a good thing.

Community - I think I liked last week’s half better with awesome Annie and the western/Tarantino motif (plus it had Josh Holloway of LOST), but the Star Wars theme was fun. The Annie/Abed thing weirded me out, she’s such a Greendale whore :P Best part – barely any CHANG! He didn’t say a word! Pierce saving the day was kinda awesome too!
Hilarious having Busy Philips and Dan Byrd from Cougar Town (on ABC) pop up. –Never thought I’d see a crossover with them on an NBC show!

In Plain Sight - BRADLEY!!!! (Whitford) I love that IPS is collecting West Wing people. Also I’m SO glad that he shaved the moustache he had in The Good Guys. He looked young again! But in his suits he really looked like Joshua Lyman :(   It was a pity that Joshua Malina was not in this ep either, would have been an extra special WW reunion.

Well that's all I've watched this week, Nurse Jackie and Parks and Recreation were good too, but didn't really need much discussion -  Although them all getting wasted on Snake Juice was pretty funny! -As was Chris reading out the signs about that woman!

Weekend TV

This week in Television

Brothers and Sisters – SERIOUSLY?! I HATE that Sarah is not William’s child…it kinda ruins the whole William storyline in some ways…
I did enjoy Justin keeping everyone’s secrets. It made for some very entertaining scenes.

Also love the Michelle taking the baby storyline! I mean…its awful, but its good for the story. Maybe now Scotty and Kevin will buy a house…cause where they gonna keep a baby? –Will their apartment magically turn into a 3 bedroom?!

And Saul’s singing was adorable! –Also I have Ron Rifkin/Saul saying “hunnybunch” stuck in my head…I’m sure he’s said it to Kitty before (he said it to Sarah in this ep), and possibly in real world in the Alias commentary to Jennifer Garner! Maybe it’s a Ron thing!

Really enjoyed Parks and Recreation. Even Tom was less annoying!  I kinda want Leslie and Ben to get together. –Andy and April messing with Ben was great! I love that they went to Bed Bath and Beyond..wonder if it was the one on Vine st in LA? It looked like the one we went to last year.

30 Rock was pretty good. Hated the Kenneth/Tracy storyline…but I loved Liz’s little song – it was SO catchy. I want a 30 Rock soundtrack! Loved the references to Invictus with Liz wondering who the white guy was…being played by Matt Damon –who until recently was her boyfriend Carol in the show. –I love little things like that!

Community sucked. I did like the reference to Abed delivering the baby though.  That show is SO hit or miss, and rarely in-between.

YAY after a month being repeats, Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice finally had new eps!!!!
  I liked Grey’s better than PPP this week.  I liked the gang helping Callie recover. I like the time movement. I loved the scene with Callie pushing Christina and Meredith down the hall on the bed.

-Sorry not caring about Adelle. I know I should..but I so don’t. Maybe its that the Chief has a thing for women who get Alzheimer’s.
-Not sure what they are doing with Teddy…she spent the whole ep outside of the hospital…going on lots of dates, and checking on poor doomed Scott Foley’s character. He’s so gonna die in or by the finale!
-Baby Sofia is pretty cute. She may give Lucas a run for his money as cutest baby on tv.
-it was pretty weird seeing Doris Roberts on Grey’s…she’s gotten so old! I did like the storyline with her character and Alex. Points for Alex for being an actual good doc…he sucks at personal lives, but he is a pretty good doc. –There may be hope for him yet.
-Holy crap who does Meredith think she is?! Breaking into the trial packet room and changing things out was NOT cool. She’s gonna wind up in serious trouble!!!!!
-it was so cute when they all rolled Callie up to see the baby…all covert op style. Avery distracting Bailey was funny. Not as cute as Arizona kissing Stark when he said Sofia could go home though.

Overall theme of this weeks PPP – Being honest about the past.
I didn’t LOVE the whole Charlotte ex-husband storyline a week before the wedding…but at least it was before and not after. I thought she’d completely moved on from her past…but anyways…
The first scene with Charlotte and Cooper was bugging the hell out of me for one reason, could not for the life of me understand her response after he asks her why she kept the picture, -Ness and I had to rewind to try and figure out what she said (I swear sometimes KaDee needs subtitles for her accent), and still had no idea, later I listened a few times myself, and after searching for a transcript that doesn’t exist….I listened once more and finally heard it! “Man cheated on me, I hate him for it, end of story.” I feel like a weight has been lifted! Haha…okay I’m crazy. – oh also I loved the hilarious “Sweet Mullet” line.
But I’m so glad they are finally TALKING about their wedding…having not talked about it at all until now! Not even a mention of who is gonna be Charlotte’s bridesmaid/s (I know who, but we haven’t seen her ask anybody yet). I can’t wait to have the parents turn up! I’m very interested to see what kind of dynamic Charlotte and her ‘Momma’ have.

-I’m kinda sad that I don’t care about Sam and Addison at ALL…I think they’re better off apart! She wants way too much from him, and he has said multiple times he doesn’t want it. And its never good to have a kid with someone if they don’t want it! Sam was a much more interested character before him and Addison…maybe he can get interesting again.

-Amelia apparently does NOT have her own place yet…she is still bunking with Addison after all this time…Its not like she couldn’t afford her own place!
-I also hate that Amelia and Sheldon have simply become the relationship counselors for the practice. Sheldon used to be funny….now all he does is act as Cooper’s therapist, and same goes with Amelia and Addison. Give the people the funny back! And let Sheldon have his girlfriend back…even if her accent freaks me out!

The whole Violet thing is interesting. Poor Pete, but its hard to say whether or not Katie has the rights to a case. I figure that Katie would have to be honest about her past in order to move on as well…so I don’t see how people connecting her to the book is that bad…maybe Katie should move away, start fresh. I dunno. I mean how many people are going to read Violet’s book anyways?!

Looking forward to Weddingpalooza next week...well mostly Charlotte and Cooper...not caring so much about Arizona and Callie. But it should be 2 very interesting hours of tv.

Family Time

So I was dying to watch new Parenthood from last week, and it didn't disappoint. But enough with the car crashes! I’m stressed out enough by them with Brothers & Sisters season 4, Private Practice season 3, and Grey’s Anatomy. –At least it finally made for a good segway into credits!

Adam and Kristina were so cute in the kitchen when they were discussing things…like why Adam would think about another 15yold girl's clothes.

Yay Drew was finally back!...but he didn’t do a whole lot, but at least he was there. Amber…oh Amber…you tiny messed up person. Poor Sarah, in one week she manages to get pulled down by her daughter’s mess of a life, and also gets her play accepted into a thing…

Poor Joel…he’s Crosby’s bitch! This is the problem with having a fixerman in the family…they get stuck doing everything. Also Sydney and Jabbar’s handshake was SO cute! Totally worth their only being in it for that.
Can't be many eps left now, which sucks. I'm not ready for finales! Also they haven't officially been picked up for season 3 yet, and that stresses me out!

On to Brothers and Sisters. YAY its back on, with 2 eps! OMG I actually had to pause the 1st ep after Kitty started explaining what goes on in her fave ep of Full House cause I was laughing too hard! CRAZY!
And points for actually mentioning Sarah and Luc’s wedding and wedding plans! Private Practice never mentions Cooper and Charlotte’s impending nuptials...and their wedding is coming up fast!Sarah’s dancing was excellent! I love the Sarah and Kitty stuff, they hardly ever do sister stuff. – But what is with all the handshakes/bumps this week?! Gotta work on my own!
And Kitty at the restaurant with Seth was AWESOME!

I’m also coming around to Olivia…which doesn’t bode well…cause as soon as I start liking people, something happens.

Part 2 -It was weird going from an ep with Kitty, to an ep WITHOUT her. Felt wrong.

Yay for old school Nintendo!!!! I loved Justin's 'things to do before I'm 30' list.

Um…Jayne Brook as Scotty’s mother still weirds me out, she seems way too young to be his mother. Also…the way his mother was acting was freaking me out!

And poor Saul. But Jonathon freaks me out...I don't know what it is about that guy, he's odd.Overall It was a great ep though. Wedding plans, birthdays, etc.  Brody seems to be sticking around, which is interesting.
I don't know if its me, or Community is slipping, but I didn't love this weeks ep - maybe cause it was  Pierce centric...Modern Family was funny. I loved the van thing....Phil and Claire always make me laugh. The concert was pretty funny too...like Luke being stuck up in the air! Not the best ep, but still good.
