I’m working on catching up from the week, and I’ve got Wednesday done, so here’s what you may have missed this week…
How to Live with Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)
This show surprised me. I was completely ready to write it off, and it was actually funny! Sarah Chalke has found her niche again! (Unlike her semi-regular role on HIMYM and that other failed sitcom she was on that was on for so little time I don’t even remember the name of it…)
And Elizabeth Perkins and Brad Garrett–WOW! They’re unbelievably hilarious in this show. Elizabeth Perkins was always better at being the fancy-free comic than the uptight person you laugh at because they’re so uptight, and she just NAILS IT in this show!
Plus Brad Garrett has moved on from the dopey older brother from Everybody Loves Raymond to being a hilarious father figure/granddad character with a much better personality and sense of humor.
This is mostly a rave rather than a summary, but it’s a pilot–the plot of this one is exactly what the title says: Sarah Chalke’s character Polly and her daughter are trying to figure out and adjust to learning how to live with her parents at her age and as a single mom. There. Summarized 🙂
I think a lot of people in the target audience are familiar with the experience of having to move back home for one reason or another (me included), so it’s relatable on that level as well. Overall, funny, funny show. Unless next week’s ep is a complete flop, I’m sticking with this one!
Chicago Fire
Big drama on this one with the new girl. Apparently she and Kelly made a bet and she brings a six pack over to share when she loses. Shay freaks out because Kelly didn’t answer his phone when she called to say she was ovulating and they needed to go to the clinic. However, Shay is on pregnancy hormones, so she’s a little more wound up than usual.
Dawson wants a new door for the bar and Kasey charges in to the rescue with a salvage place and a connection to the owner. Though she doesn’t want to wreck her relationship with Peter, it’s pretty clear she’s still flattered by Kasey’s attention, even if she isn’t directly interested (though she probably is).
Mills starts getting a little suspicious, and gets especially jealous when Dawson and Kasey take a photo together in front of the gorgeous new door. However, Hallie comes back, so it’s probably going to put the Kasey/Dawson saga on hold for a while.
The hooking up with the widows thing seems to have completely disappeared this episode–Severide and Kasey didn’t interact much at all.
The big piece here is what happens with the new trainee–Tara. Dawson tells the program supervisor (not sure if that’s his official title, but he asked about Tara, and Dawson gave him an answer) that Tara might not be cut out for such a busy, hardcore house as theirs in the middle of the city and Tara’s probationary status gets revoked as a result.
Otis is upset because he had a crush on the trainee, but Tara was apparently even more upset–so much so that she’s come forward and accused Kelly of rape. It didn’t even seem like they had slept together–Shay came home and interrupted their six-pack session, so with how upset she was, you’d think Kelly would’ve sent Tara home afterwards.
So, with that, and the fact that Kelly doesn’t need to rape girls to get them into bed, this is pretty much BS. However, with his reputation, Kelly might not get clear of this so easily. We’ll have to watch and see.
Nashville
This was a pretty jam-packed episode–Deacon brings his new girlfriend Stacy on tour with Juliette and Rayna, without telling her that he had a relationship with both of them. Juliette gets a new multi-million dollar endorsement with Dante’s help. Her mom gets a little jealous, but Juliette does her best to make up for it at the show, and she succeeds.
Rayna brought her girls and her sister along for the tour, but she apparently didn’t realize how much that would make them want to perform like her and Juliette. She pushes back at first, but after her sister explains things a little differently, she takes a new approach and gives a little ground without conceding to let them become country stars before they’ve hit puberty.
Avery is still struggling to climb back up after breaching his record contract, and he finds an opportunity to be a roadie after realizing that he’s been run out of every place in Nashville. I think it’ll be good for him. Maybe add a little humility to that big head he got after getting the record contract. Then again, maybe singing in the street already did that. Either way, should be good.
Scarlett and Gunnar are in a little tiff over her solo contract with Rayna’s label, but Gunnar proves he’s a better man than Avery by telling her to take the deal without him. He wants to see her succeed, even if it’s without him, and he knows he’d feel guilty if he asked her not to. They have a new pretty charismatic and cute neighbor/musician over for dinner, and it looks like Gunnar might have found a new partner to work with.
We also find out Peggy leaked the divorce story to the tabloids, and Rayna’s father wants to take advantage of it to get her to convince Teddy about building the stadium on his land. He does convince her, but she doesn’t succeed in convincing Teddy. However… we see him apparently having a heart attack toward the end of the episode, so if he doesn’t make it, maybe Peggy will get away with it after all…
The big point for me in this episode was Juliette and Dante–once again, she goes after a man she shouldn’t. He understandably rebuffs her advances at first, but she’s a pretty perspective young woman and he gives in. It may be that he’s an addict, or it may be that he and Juliette just have that chemistry, but this is probably not going to end well. Which is too bad. I liked Dante. I hope for both their sakes’ Juliette doesn’t make a mess of this situation like she did with Sean.
