Brooklyn Nine-Nine Jake is still trying to prove he is a line work and can solve cases all by himself, but the captain knows he’s better as a part of a team. His efforts are hampered by “the vulture” (Dean Winters, aka Johnny Gavin from Rescue Me and the embodiment of Mayhem in the Allstate […]

American Horror Story: Coven Pilot: Oh It’s ON!
American Horror Story: Coven I am thrilled with this show. The characters are great. Lange, as usual, is perfect. And the take on powers, craft, and history is fascinating. If you’re watching anything else in this timeslot, you are missing one hell of a drama. Pun possibly intended 🙂 Sarah Paulson is Cordelia Foxx, the […]
The Fall Line-up: It Ain’t Pretty
I mapped out the shows I wanted to watch for the new fall season weeks ago as soon as the premieres were announced, but seeing them all huddled together in such a small table, this is pretty effed up. Last season’s schedule (see “Old Standbys”) actually looks somewhat manageable, except for Thursdays, which are now […]
Wednesday Recap: The Bridge
If you somehow missed the show I’ve been waiting for since I heard about it back in April, you suck and fail at life. I’m not kidding. It was an hour and a half long pilot, and I didn’t even notice. It was that freaking good. I half-assed live-tweeting because I was so engrossed in […]
The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Episode 8: The Bridge Edition
IT’S HERE!! The new serial killer drama on FX, The Bridge, premieres this Wednesday at 10 PM. AND, lucky us, it’s the big man’s birthday. That’s right! Kevin Bacon was born this day, July 8th, in 1958. So… Happy Birthday, Kevin Bacon! And many more! In honor of the new show, starring one of my […]
Wednesday: A Handyman, a Mayoral Campaign, and a Setup
I was really tired this week, so I couldn’t put the recaps together on time. I’m working on catching up (once again), but I don’t expect to finish them all today. In any case, here’s Wednesday night: The Family Tools It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. I love JK Simmons. Thank You for Smoking, […]
Wednesday Night: SWF and Getting Bugged
Psych At first, it looked like the episode was leaning toward a spoof of the early nineties cult film, Single White Female starring Bridget Fonda and Jennifer Jason Leigh, as Juliet looks for a new roommate. The woman she ends up with starts changing her looks to look like Juliet, and Shawn and Gus immediately […]
Wednesday Night: What Ifs and Disobedience
Psych So last week, Juliet threw a drink in Shawn’s face and stormed out of Lassiter’s wedding when she discovered Shawn’s psychic secret. This week, Shawn replays that night in his head and experiences a “what if” story, a “simulation”, so to speak–one in which he gives Jules his jacket and she finds the proof […]
Wednesday Night Cliffhangers and Mexican Standoffs
Psych Bachelor/ette party fun! Shawn and Gus throw Lassiter a stag party and they even manage to find an old high school friend of his. However, the man was actually just a random name that Lassie said because he didn’t want a bachelor party, but the guys called his bluff. Marlowe gets more than she […]
Wednesday Night: Circus Performers and Spy Wars
I keep seeing promos for The Bridge on FX. This show is going to be SO FREAKIN GOOD! Anyway, on to last night’s recaps! Psych! Shawn and Gus get a chance at taking Rachel’s son out for the day, and Shawn suggests The Cirque, so he can pursue a case at the same time. The […]
