Recaps

Breaking In after getting cancelled and then shockingly renewed starts off in the best possible way, Christian Slater looking as cool as he always has, with sunglasses on indoors and smoking a cigar. He looks directly into the camera and says, “Greeting and salutations…so happy to see you finally came to your senses and gave us another shot.” Quick side …

Nick Miller – Almost a Lawyer New Girl takes a friendly game of flag football and turns it into a cancer scare. It all starts with Schmitt in spandex capris no less giving the rest of the gang direction, “Go long. Break right. Jess you wait in the car.” Nick may have missed the pass but Jess doesn’t miss Nick …

Let’s Be Bad isn’t just the title of the latest episode of Smash but it also seemed to be the magic words that pushed all of the central characters into a realm for which the viewers have not seen them, pushing their boundaries and revealing another layer of who each of them are a people. Eileen is shaken by the …

Once Upon a Time fleshed out more of the Snow White story this week by focusing on the Dwarves. One Dwarf in particular: Grumpy. Plus, Belle has a cameo and Amy Acker guest stars. We open in Fairytale World. Above it, actually. Up in the clouds, clumsy young fairy Nova gathers Fairy Dust with the blue fairy, who admonishes her to …

This episode is a time for love and bringing back the ex-boyfriend to stir up trouble just as a happy couple gets together, finally. In the States, we call this phenomenon “Sweeps,” but since Merlin is a British show, I think it’s called melodrama. The ex-boyfriend is question is the ever-dreamy Lancelot du Lac, and boy, am I happy to …

So, you know how you have that show that you absolutely love, but there’s an episode that just doesn’t float your boat? Yeah – me too. Not that it isn’t good, this episode, but it’s not up to the standards to which you’ve become accustomed. Mind you, seeing Jesse Heiman sucking on a water fountain spout brightened my day – but otherwise… …

Where to start… there is a 4th season in Chatswin, Croquet Season and for our newly single Dallas that also means Mating Season. I admittedly don’t know a lot about the game of Croquet but apparently it’s a pretty sexy sport. Go figure. Fred and Sheila of course are too distracted by Dallas’s “mates” to play a decent game of …

It’s been a long break, too long. When we left off before the holidays, a shocked Gus had found an engagement ring in Shawn’s Nintendo. An event that Gus didn’t seem likely to just let slide. We pick up in the spring premiere with a flashback to Shawn’s childhood. It’s 1991 and his pet lizard has died. Much as Henry …

Leap day is a big deal in the Dunphy house. Phil believes everyone should do something amazing during the extra day you get every four years. So, the Dunphy family and Manny are going to take a trapeze class. What a day of family fun they will have. Then Phil sees Claire crying on the couch looking at TV and …

I promised myself I was going to get caught up on anything and everything…and then Leap Day happened. Either way, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Today I’m going to review the episode of Body of Proof that aired, erm, sometime not this week. I’ve been a very bad recapper. Anyway, you would think that I should love …
