It’s another week of Glee and, I’m sure another week where I’ll find something that makes no sense. Let’s dive right in and start before I get the better of myself and go for a very stiff drink. No teacher should ever tell his students it’s about doing their best or doing better when it comes to something like an …

In this week’s episode of New Girl, Jess comes to Nick’s aid when the boys are invited to a “Wedding” they know Nick’s ex, Caroline, will be attending. Jess agrees to go as Nick’s girlfriend so that Caroline can’t pull Nick back into her ‘backup plan’. Jess is all excited. She loves weddings! They are made for fun and dancing, …

Episode 3 of 2 Broke Girls was titled “And Strokes of Goodwill”, but it might better have been called “Fresh to Stale in Three Episodes”. I really wanted this show to work, and maybe it’s still trying to find its footing. But as of last night’s showing, I was actually looking for distractions while trying to watch it. Caroline is …

Pan Am flew to France this week, and the trip was packed with drama. The excitement of their first trip to Paris has sisters Kate and Laura all smiles, until Laura’s weigh-in shows she’s gained a pound and she’s advised to limit her indulgence in French pastries. That’s right, mandatory weigh-ins are the price to pay for traveling the friendly …

The son has his own small business – a soft-serve ice cream truck that is stationed near an outdoor event for some kind of literacy program. As he tends to …

Please tell me I’m not the only one who is completely over Elena’s stupidity. Stefan and Klaus go to Chicago to look up a very powerful witch that Klaus knew, and who might be able to help him figure out why he can’t create hybrids. When they get to a bar called Gloria’s, Klaus tells Gloria about his hybrid problems. Gloria is …

The circle is bound. Faye is frustrated at not being able to use her powers at random. Diana explains to Faye that she hasn’t lost her power, she just is not strong until another member of the circle is with her. The more that are with her the more powerful she will be. The Circle is strongest and more controlled …

It’s another week and another class at Greendale. This time Annie is making a foray into a political science class, with Professor Cligoris (played by the lovely Martin Starr, whom I’ve loved in Party Down and Freaks and Geeks) joining the Community roster of instructors. Starting off an episode with historical references already has me in a good mood. Plus …

Be very careful what you wish for especially when you have imbibed a bit too much. This is a valuable lesson that Kenzi and, unwittingly (at first), Bo learn when they drink to excess because of Dyson. After seeing Dyson with a date at Trick’s bar, and despite putting on a brave face, Bo (as well as Kenzi) drink too …
