New Girl

This one actually made me laugh out loud. And also, because I love Zooey Deschanel. This might be the story of my life: I am an awkward girl who likes Anthropologie dresses a little too much.



I am definitely gonna be watching way too much TV starting this fall.

Up All Night

I swear Maya Rudolph is just constantly sperminated. Seriously, have you ever seen her NOT pregnant?

That said, Maya Rudolph, Will Arnett, and Christina Applegate? This is gonna be a hilarious comedy.

Apartment 23

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd this one!

Guys, it has DAWSON LEERY in it. How can it not be good????



Again. James van der Beek. Playing James van der Beek. It has to be awesome.

Once upon a time

Also, this one. So thankful I decided to get a DVR.



Looks spooky and fairy tale-ish. Love.

Smash

Otherwise known as When Rachel Berry Becomes an Adult.

Guys, I cannot wait to watch this.



Too bad we have to wait until midseason.

Glee, Season 2, "The Sue Sylvester Shuffle"

Glee's finally back!

Things to discuss:
1. California Gurls Cheerios routine, complete with flaming conebras and hula hoops.  There wasn't a whole lot of cheerleading going on there was there? It was just bike tricks and fire. Sue, if you're bored, maybe you should hire Sparky the choreographer from Bring It On - he'll give you jazz hands and a far more entertaining routine than a flying cheerleader cannon can. I mean, cannon is just one letter off from canNOT.
2. Thriller/Heads Will Roll mashup! I personally loved it. I'm sure some people will hate that they messed with a Michael Jackson classic, but I think it was great! I just made it my ring tone! So now when y'all call, my phone will start screaming "heads will roll" - thanks Santana.
3. She's Not There - this was probably the only song that WASN'T teased before-hand, and I gotta say, it was good!
4. Need You Now - love this song, and I think Puck sounds great dueting.  More, please! Also, loved Coach Beiste singing along - she's just a girl standing in front of a guy asking him to kiss her, after all.
5. Bills, Bills, Bills - so random, right? There was absolutely no need for this scene, but at the same time, I really liked it. How did they get someone to sing that ting-y ting ting thing so high? Crazy acapella.
6. Finn and Quinn? Again? What did you all think of the kiss??
7. Oh yeah, the actual football game. I wish Tina had made that touchdown, and laughed out loud during the following interaction:
PUCK
Are you ready for this?

RACHEL
LET'S KICK SOME ASS!!!

So cute. So Rachel Berry. 
8. Am loving the addition of the new wrestling girl. She and Brittany are fighting it out for funniest lines.

ANOTHER EPISODE ON TUESDAY! Amazing.  And it's the Valentine's Day episode!

Community Episode 13

So Community is a hilarious show I have newly added to my comedy line-up.
During the winter TV hiatus, I just had too many hours of idle non-zombie-inducing TV time. I was seriously itching like a cocaine addict until I caught the amazing-ness of Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas. It was the final episode before break that featured the characters as stop-motion! So cool! From then on, I was hooked. While Cougartown put up a good fight, I ended up going on a two season Community tv marathon and subsequent "I love Community" twitter binge over the holidays.

For those of you who don't know, Community is a show about a bunch of misfits who formed a study group at a community college. For anyone who loves shows that are quirky, dorky, a little meta, and heavy into pop culture references, Community is the show for you. Watch it! It needs viewers!

Enough plug, onto the recap ...
Community Episode 13 "Celebrity Pharmacology"

The whole gang is recruited to put on a nonsensical "don't do drugs" play for little grade school kiddies when Pierce (Chevy Chase), while playing marijuana, decides to work out all his childhood trauma of being unloved by his father by making all the middle-graders love him. Who comes to save the day? Chang (Ken Jeong). Not to give it all away but you have to watch just so you can see Ken Jeong get mobbed by angry 12 year olds.

While I loved the episode, I think for newcomers, the episode to watch would be "Modern Warfare." (I was lying when I said I was done with plugging the show). For anyone who's watch any Asian action film, this is the most amazing half-hour spoof you'll ever see (see the promo below). There are references to practically every action/post-apocalypse survival movie known to mankind and also ... Glee!



Love it!
