DON’T TRUST THE B–: Bar Lies…

JAMES VAN DER BEEK, SHANTI LOWRY

There’s something odd about seeing the same story-telling technique two weeks in a row. But there’s a good thing in seeing James really excited about going on Dancing with the Stars. Chloe is telling “bar lies” which are things to get free drinks from bartenders. James plays along too to get Chloe a drink as Katie Holmes’ cousin. Chloe’s keeping ... Read More »

DON’T TRUST THE B–: Whatever It Takes…

JAMES VAN DER BEEK, MISSI PYLE

June finally gets her dream job? Did we walk into an alternate reality? It seems this week’s story is being told out of order, as it’s now one week before June’s big toast and June is spending her days eating (at the appropriate times) while Chloe goes out drinking. Even Mark understands that, as June will go clean up the ... Read More »

LEVERAGE: The Low Low Price Job

22241_009_0820_R

Welcome back Leverage! Looks like our client of the week is a small-family owned grocery story fighting against a big corporate store, Value!More. It seems that the town is working with Value!More to push out the small grocery stores. The evil businesswoman of evil wants to stop working as a regional director for the store and instead have a place ... Read More »

DON’T TRUST THE B–: It’s a Miracle…

DON'T TRUST THE B---- IN APARTMENT 23 - "It's a Miracle..."

First, sorry this is so late everyone. Even without working last week I just sort of fell into a TV related funk. But, as the show won’t air this week, it’s not so bad to be late. Right? - Any cold open that features Chloe calling of her married lovers and freaking them out is a little disturbing. Also, if ... Read More »

DON’T TRUST THE B– Recap: Sexy People

DON'T TRUST THE B---- IN APARTMENT 23 - "Sexy People..."

June’s obsession with the People’s Sexist Man Alive amuses me, especially once Chloe takes all of June’s old ones and turns them into papier mache. The fact that she talks to her mother about the reasons why Channing Tatum should be on the cover is amusing. Poor James enters into the conversation at that moment is a bit sad. But ... Read More »

BONES Recap: The Lost Generation

Bones-Ep714-The_Patriot_in_Purgatory

Cay’s a bit busy this week, so I’ve stepped in for this episode and the recap will probably be a little bit different, but I tried to find the same notes as her usual recaps. Bones 8.06: The Patriot in Purgatory Case of the Week: The Squints are put to use into Purgatory–the cold storage for all the unidentified bones–as ... Read More »

DON’T TRUST THE B–: “Love and Monsters”

DON'T TRUST THE B---- IN APARTMENT 23 - "Love and Monsters..."

If an episode starts with both Chloe and June agreeing that Halloween is an amazing holiday, I think we’ve all just entered a parallel universe with down is up and South is North. But that’s quickly tempered by James announcing his Halloween party, complete with love, rainbows and ice cream. James hates being scared, stemming from his father showing him ... Read More »

DON’T TRUST THE B–: “A Reunion….”

DON'T TRUST THE B---- IN APARTMENT 23 - MICHAEL BLAIKLOCK, RAY FORD, JAMES VAN DER BEEK, ERIC ANDRE, KRYSTEN RITTER, DREAMA WALKER

Welcome to another season of the Bitch and June! Last week I was at an event honoring the show and Happy Endings, but after castmembers of both shows ended up offending numerous groups of people, I figured there’s no way to share it. It was a moment to be lived. Much like what I imagine June feels like every day. ... Read More »

After an extended time away from televisions, season five of AMC’s award winning drama about the lives of ad executives in the 1960s brought the team at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce into 1966 and into a world where the ever-changing society in New York had a clear effect ...

LEVERAGE: The Rundown Job; The Frame-Up Job

Leverage-finale

In the summer finale of Leverage, the team is split up again into two different cases: one featuring Eliot, Hardison and Parker and the other Nate and Sophie. For the sake of this recap, I’ll go in the order in which the episodes aired, though I suppose that you could watch them out of order. First up, we have a ... Read More »
