New Girl This one was kind of sad. Jess and Nick get into a fight over a toy that he was supposed to put together for a party, and Jess starts talking about their future. They are on two completely different wavelengths when it comes to child-rearing and marriage. While it makes them sad to […]
Monday Vows, Solidarity, Choosers and Outsiders
I had a mess of things to take care of this week, and it’s been a rough one, so that’s why these are coming so late. How I Met Your Mother It took all season, but Barney and Robin FINALLY got married! It also took all season for Robin to get cold feet and reconsider […]
Review: Bad Words
I haven’t covered him much on the blog, but I’ve been a big fan of Jason Bateman for a very long time – even before I got hooked on Arrested Development. He’s adorable and wickedly funny, but this, his feature film directorial debut, was prime comedy brilliance. The plot The story centers on Bateman’s character, […]
The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Episode 20: Bates Motel Edition
Last week, we had our first taste of a season two of Bates Motel in which Michael Vartan plays (probably) Norma’s love interest. Thank. You. TV. Gods. I think a lot of us fell in love with Vartan back in 1999 when he played opposite Drew Barrymore in Never Been Kissed as her English teacher. […]
Tuesday Dentistry and Donuts
I thought I was done with the week, and then I remembered I hadn’t written up this week’s episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Growing Up Fisher!

Friday Mayors, Parent-Traps, Copycats, and Sunday Ceasefires and Kidnappings
Rake It seems like Kee’s lucky day: the mayor dies from auto-erotic asphyxiation, of all things, leaving his wife, aka Kee’s latest conquest, to cover things up so her husband isn’t remembered for his sexual habits. But, when Kee goes to brag about it to the mayor’s gopher, it looks like he may have opened […]
Thursday Hearts and a Double Dose of Grey’s, Scandal and Suits
It was a loaded night of twists, gasps, and oh, no, she didn’ts! Try to keep up. Once Upon a Time in Wonderland 3/20 Barbara Hershey. That’s right. Barbara Hershey is awesome, first of all, so her as the original Red Queen is even more awesome. Unfortunately, she’s the one who kept the Knave and […]
Monday Love-Hate, Green Beer, Twists and Brotherly Love
How I Met Your Mother This ep is pretty much all about Gary Blauman (Taran Killam, SNL) and whether the gang loves him or hates him. Lily and Billy love him, but Ted and Barney hate him. Ted hates him because he cockblocked him one night by getting into a Teddy Roosevelt convo with him […]
Tuesday: A Marvel-ous ‘Verse, Coming and Going and Stalkers
