Glee Season 3-10 ‘Yes/No’ Recap

We knew that Mr. Schue (Matthew Morrison) was going to ask Ms. Pillsbury (Jayma Mayes) to marry him on this week’s Glee, “Yes/No.” However, the show threw a curveball with Finn’s (Cory Montieth) whipsawing from joining the army one moment to asking Rachel (Lea Michele) to marry him in the next. Whether you considered it a good twist or a bad twist is a matter of taste; many fans found “Yes/No” to be a classic whereas I found it to be classically uneven and in line with Glee at it’s scatterbrained worst.

How I Met Your Mother Season 7-14 ’46 Minutes’ Recap

Marshall (Jason Segal) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) are finally making the move to Long Island. Unfortunately, so is Lily’s dad Mickey (Chris Elliott), who came for a visit and has decided not to leave. Mickey is a complete nuisance, criticizing their decorating choices, leaving annoying notes on everything and generally invading their new space.

2 Broke Girls Season 1-14 ‘And The Upstairs Neighbor’ Recap

2 Broke Girls is a car crash in slow motion. You don’t want to watch Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs, you want to come to their rescue. The most recent episode found these two talented actresses forced to play out a story about tampons in the ladies room of the cruddy diner where they’ve been seemingly sentenced to work.

Two And A Half Men Season 9-14 ‘A Possum On Chemo’ Recap

Truly, the last thing I want to do is like Two and a Half Men, the show is far too often below the belt for my taste. With that said, it seems like every couple episodes or so the writers get the formula right and a random episode of Two and a Half Men is really funny. "A Possum with Chemo" is one of those moments where the show really works.

Golden Globes TV Winners

Showtime hit HBO where they live; on the awards show circuit. The network took the big drama prize at the Golden Globes with the freshman drama Homeland and in the process stunned their long time pay cable rival HBO whose Boardwalk Empire was considered a favorite and walked away shut out of all the top categories last night.

Golden Globes Predictions: Who Will Win And Who Should Win

I could sit here and argue the relevance of The Golden Globes and make snarky comments about the Hollywood Foreign Press but it wouldn't change the fact that many important people in Hollywood take this ludicrous award seriously. With that in mind, I will treat The Golden Globes with enough seriousness to examine the nominees and decide which movies will win and tell you which movies I believe deserve to win.

Modern Family Season 3-12 ‘Egg Drop’ Recap

I love when Modern Family explores a little of what Jay (Ed O’Neill) was like as a father to Claire (Julie Bowen) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson). In just over two seasons the writers of Modern Family have told us enough about these characters that we feel as if we’ve known them forever. Yet, when they tell a story like the one in “Egg Drop” we’re able to discover something new and meaningful about them.
