Happy Endings I’m very sad to see them go. There’s still no word on whether it’s going to be renewed (as far as my usual sources are aware, anyway), but I’ve enjoyed spending time with this crazy crew over the past three seasons. The first episode was a Jane/Brad vs. Max/Alex tennis extravaganza while Dave […]

Thursday: Domestic Abuse, Moriarty, Breaking Up, and An Old Friend for Dinner
Grey’s Anatomy This was definitely one of the stranger episodes, strange in that it was off-putting to see Bailey in such a state. All of the characters on this show are really strong, and they’ve all overcome a lot over the years, but Bailey is one of those people who doesn’t show weakness. In this […]
April Week 4 Recaps: Bullies, Angels, and Endings
It’s been a long weekend of blogging and catching up on some things, but I’m getting there. Sorry these are all a bit late, but I hope that doesn’t decrease their enjoyability any. How to Live with Your Parents Natalie invents a bully named Betsy in order to get her family to feel like a […]
Weekend Recaps: Duets and Upsets
Smash It’s opening night, and Ivy has the jitters. She was all good the night before, after the performance, but then she overheard a couple audience members talking about the show on the street and they weren’t that enthusiastic about her performance. They were actually a little snobby that she had only been in the […]
Thursday Night: Hunting and What It’s Like to be Stuck in an Elevator
Hannibal The show follows the Minnesota Shrike’s daughter, Abigail, and her confusion and battle against her perception of her father and her own uncertainty about her sanity. Hannibal is supposed to be counseling her and helping Abigail to confront these feelings and work through them, but with an angry victim’s family member waiting in the […]
Monday: Bad Press, Unraveling Plans, and A Lucky Break
I forgot to recap Smash with the last post because the Saturday thing threw me off, so I’ll include it with Monday night’s new episodes. I missed the new How I Met Your Mother, too–got caught up wrapping up another project–but I’ve got The Following and Bates Motel ahead! Smash Julia’s in trouble! The New […]
Thursday Night: Moving On, Mushrooms, and Seth Green
Go On Finale fun. It was a little anti-climactic for me, actually. Ryan’s remembering his wedding day and how Janey said it got too big and out of control. Lauren is trying to get him to spread Janey’s ashes, something they’ve been working toward since he joined the group, but Ryan’s been making it into […]
First Week of April Catch-Up: Tuesday and Thursday
Since Smash moved to Saturdays, we’ve got two episodes this week, from Tuesday and Saturday night. And, new Grey’s and Elementary are also below. Smash “The Parents” Ivy’s mom joins Bombshell as Marilyn’s mother, and Karen’s dad comes to town. Hence the title. I really love Bernadette Peters, so it’s fun to have her back […]
First Week of April Catch-Up: Wednesday Night Episodes
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 […]
A Blast with Thursday Comedy and an Intense Premiere
New Girl Jess and Nick try to go on a regular date, while Winston and Schmidt try to sabotage it, and end up sabotaging themselves. Jess runs into Russell (Dermot Mulroney) while they’re out, and she and Nick go back and forth (literally and figuratively) on what they really want their relationship to be. On […]
