How I Met Your Mother
First off, I wasn’t pleased when they introduced the mother at the end of last season. I am less displeased now. I’m still not completely happy about it, but less angry than I was.
Robin and Barney hit a couple snags on their trip to the altar, as they realize they both have a Canadian cousin with the same name and same history, and Barney learns his brother is getting a divorce.
Marshall has hit a snag of his own. Not only is trying desperately to prevent Lily from finding out he took the job as a judge from anyone besides himself, but he got thrown off the plane in Minnesota and has to find another way back to New York.
Antics and hilarity ensue. But, there were a few sweet moments between Robin and Barney as they realize they’re not actually related by blood (the cousin was adopted and it’s a relation by marriage), and Barney doesn’t lose his shit about his own upcoming wedding when he finds out that his brother is getting a divorce.
Everything looks like it will mostly go off without a hitch, but apparently Ted’s the wildcard. He has it in his head that he can find Robin’s locket.
2 Broke Girls
Max and Caroline open their new cupcake window and a rock star dies in front of their shop, bringing in tons of hippie fans to mourn at the place of his death.
The jokes are as good as ever, and the banter is spot on. And may I say, those girls look ah-mah-zing!
Mom
Anna Faris rules. Allison Janney is superb. And French Stewart is Chef Rudy. WIN. Nate Corddry, always funny.
Christy (Faris) is a waitress with two kids from different fathers, she’s in AA, she has a deadbeat ex-husband who’s behind on child support, her teenage daughter brings her boyfriend over to “study”, she’s sleeping with her boss who’s married, and her estranged mom (Janney) has a similar story.
First, you can’t tell me a woman manages to get a waitress job at a nice place like that without a high school diploma. Especially since, judging from the opening credits, she also has a record? Whatever. I’ll let it go. A failure to know about common employment practices isn’t what might scare me off this show.
The show’s halfway funny–meaning about half of the jokes land, and half of them just make you smile like, yeah, I guess that’s mildly amusing. I like all the actors, but some of the comedy is a little predictable and too much like Two and a Half Men, which surprise, surprise, was also created by Chuck Lorre who created this show.
Right now, I’m thinking it’s not gonna stick. Since it doesn’t conflict with anything next week, I’ll give it another shot, but my expectations are not high.
Hostages
They didn’t lose me, but they didn’t win me over either. I have not really wanted to watch this show since I saw the first promo for it, but I love Dylan McDermott and had to give it a shot on that basis.
The show is pretty much exactly what the ads say: Toni Collette plays Ellen Sanders, a surgeon performing a routine operation on the President, and Dylan McDermott plays FBI Agent Duncan Carlisle, aka the guy holding the Sanders family hostage until Ellen kills the President during surgery.
So far, it looks like a power play that Carlisle is helping to play out, someone on the senior White House staff looking to get rid of the Commander in Chief. But, Carlisle’s wife is sick, undergoing chemotherapy, so it’s not clear how this act is going to help him make her better, because it’s probable that she’s his motivation.
Carlisle seems like a pretty normal guy, if a little ballsy on the job. He has a kid. He seems like a somewhat unwilling participant in the whole thing, in as far as he only wants to protect his own family.
But, the Sanders aren’t saints. Except maybe Ellen, who hasn’t had any skeletons come out of the closet just yet. But her husband’s a cheater, her son deals pot, and her daughter is knocked up. So, the kidnappers have some decent leverage, for now.
I’m not sure Hostages will make the cut this season, but we’ll have to see if Blacklist is any better.
BONUS
This is just because I think it’s hilarious. This guy was possibly the funniest character in Rock of Ages and was only on-screen for a minute or two, and now he’s in the funniest commercial on TV right now. Meet TJ Miller:
Up next:
I’ll try and catch up with Sleepy Hollow and Blacklist later this week, but it may not happen ’til Friday. Also, I may have to watch Person of Interest just for a little while because my superhero Amy Acker is on! We’ll see if I can squeeze it in.
