New Girl (FOX) – Episode 4.20 “Par 5”
If I remember correctly, I adored Fawn when she first appeared on the show. But I really didn’t think she’d last as long as she is lasting in this relationship with Schmidt and now I’m kind of over her. I love the actress but this character in particular I’ve had my fill of. Is it just me?
It’s not even like I want Schmidt and CeCe to immediately get back together after Schmidt and Fawn end things whenever they do, I just am over Fawn. I did like that we saw Fawn interact with Jess in an environment where Schmidt was far away from for the most part. The dynamics between these two ladies, oh man, they made me laugh. And I believe it passed the Bechdel test at one point as Fawn and Jess were talking about Jess’s goal that involved computers and she needed to go through Artemis’s character. Female power!
Moving on, I loved seeing Artemis Pebdani (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) guest star this week. First, Kaitlin Olson, now Artemis. Yes, please! I love how the Sunny ladies are rocking it on New Girl and the Sunny guys, Glenn and Rob are rocking it on The Mindy Project! Network cross promo FTW! So, overall, solid episode. Not entirely laugh out loud funny, not close actually but still entertaining enough!
Face Off (Syfy) – Episode 8.13 “Full Steam Ahead”
Read my review of this week’s episode here.
The Middle (ABC) – Episode 6.19 “Siblings and Sombreros”
This week was hilarious. Mike being super impressed by Brick’s athletic abilities. Frankie being frustrated at being in the middle of another Sue and Axl argument. I loved how the tables turned in this episode for both story lines as well as how everything concluded. Simply put, this was easily one of the most entertaining and well written episodes of the season. I’m definitely going to remember this one down the line. Sombreros and all.
Black-ish (ABC) – Episode 1.19 “The Real World”
I don’t know what I found more hysterical, Rainbow getting ready for her party with old friends in an effort to impress them – as if she even needed to try with her occupation and awesome family (yay guest star, Lindsay Price!) or the kids deciding to record the night as if it were an episode of The Real World…cue the talk of how TV was in the mid 90s. Ha! My how times have changed. These kids today don’t know how lucky they have it with technology! Uh oh and now after spewing out that sentence, I’m officially old. Ugh. Anyway…great episode this week! Definitely laugh out loud funny. I may have laughed so hard that I gave myself a cramp.
Grey’s Anatomy (ABC) – Episode 11.19 “Crazy Love”
Solid episode. This week brought the funny and the high intensity with its cases but emotionally, I felt quite distant from the main cast. I don’t really care what Meredith thinks about Owen and Amelia so while I was happy that Amelia stepped to Meredith, I wasn’t super invested in either of their reactions throughout the entire episode. If I connected with anyone it would be Callie when she was talking to her patient towards the end of the episode.
Aside from all of this, it was great to see Erika Alexander (Living Single) on this week’s episode! Can’t wait to see who else pops up in the final episodes of the season! And umm where do you think Derek was when he missed his D.C. meeting? Are we not over that infidelity storyline? Did we only just gloss over the beginning? What do you think will happen in the next episode?
