ONCE UPON A TIME: It’s “7:15 a.m.”; Do You Know Where Your Stalker Is?

It’s a testament to the quality of storytelling on Once Upon a Time that even though we’ve already seen Snow White and Prince James get married, live and rule together, and have a daughter in the very first episode, the story of how they reached that point is as compelling as if we didn’t know the ending. This week’s episode, “7:15 …

Parks & Recreation: “Campaign Ad” Recap

I’d like to start this post off by saying – BOY do I like [easyazon-link asin=”B006FTCBF2″]Paul Rudd[/easyazon-link]. We had heard he’d be one of the big guest stars this season, and this episode marks the start of his run. The word is that he’ll be back for at least three more episodes, and I can’t wait to see where they …

Modern Family: Little Bo Bleep

I have to start out by asking, why is it so bleeping funny when children curse? It isn’t as funny when adults do it. This episode was another one that left me in hysterics. There is a poll in the local newspaper that says people find Claire to be “Angry and Unlikeable.” So the family decides to help her improve …

SWITCHED AT BIRTH: Self-Portrait with a Bandaged Ear

Switched at Birth

This episode begins with the heart pounding arrest of Emmett. Two police officers shoved Emmett to the ground, not knowing he is deaf, and cuffed him behind his back. Seeing Emmet unable to communicate broke my heart. Scenes like this shine a light on issues in a community that we might not experience ourselves, but need to be aware of. …

THE FINDER: “An Orphan Walks Into A Bar”

The question I have seen raised most often in regards to Fox’s new series The Finder is whether viewers need to watch Bones in order to follow it, since it is a spin-off of that series. The answer is absolutely not. Having never seen that series myself, I found sufficient information was given about the characters and their situation to …

THE LYING GAME: “Pleased to Meet Me” Now Go Away!

Last night’s episode of The Lying Game, Pleased to Meet Me, pretty much sets things up for the rest of the season. Sutton has returned to Pheonix and we learn where she has been. Right here I just want to say that I knew she was with Annie Hobbs. I’m sure most of you figured it out as well. I thought it …

CASTLE Recap: “Dial M for Mayor”

“[easyazon-link asin=”B006YNCFHI”]Dial M for Mayor[/easyazon-link]” was a very tense and emotionally charged episode of Castle. I’m enjoying the wide range of tone in this season of the show. As expected, we were treated to a Castle-centric storyline, without excluding the other cast members. There was hardly any deviation from the main story. A short sequence at the beginning had Alexis …

LEVERAGE: The Last Dam Job

Okay folks, here we are, the Leverage finale. I’ve already gotten through the Golden Globes and a few glasses of wine with dinner, so I expect this to be more than a little entertaining. If I were a member of the Leverage team this week, I wouldn’t really like the job at hand. Trying to take down your first mark …

Hansel and Gretel are out helping their father, a woodcutter, when an excursion to collect kindling has them losing him. He gave Gretel his compass, so they could always find each other, but suddenly it no …
