Any Moment
Rene Got proposed to by her boyfriend and she tells her friend Bree and about the body at the construction site. The police are trying to catch Bree and have her fingerprints which are a match so the police are gathering more evidence against her. The police get a warrant to serve to Bree. Susan, the wife who just lost her husband is getting care packages from the neighborhood.
Gaby, having blessed Carlos’s decision to give up his corporate job, decides to get her own. When she comes up empty with an employment agency, she goes on a last-hurrah shopping spree. The store manager is so impressed with her eye for style, he offers her a job. The encouraging takeaway is follow your heart, and it will pay off. A more-skeptical view would question whether it is typically that simple for woman out of the workforce that long to just slide back in, with the perfect job no less.
From Bree’s touching moment with Andrew to Lynette’s sweet scene with Penny, I realized that this was just another element of Desperate Housewives that I would truly miss. Though strangely a bit violent, the scene with Susan and MJ taking out their anger by smashing jars of jams left me teary-eyed once again. When MJ dropped the last jar on the ground and finally broke down in his mother’s arms, I could feel their pain, anger and devastation. It was truly a heartbreaking scene.

Less Money, Mo’ Problems
I’m actually pretty sure that “Less Money, Mo Problems” was actually not the first time that Stan has tried to rob his own family or friends to get out of a desperate situation. That said, Stan failed miserably at proving his point through a “reverse Brewster’s Million.” Although I expected his failure from the start, it might have been nice to see this plot go in a less predictable direction. Francine lasted less than a day on the $938/month lifestyle and Stan managed to become a drug addicted bum in about 48 hours.
Meanwhile, Roger and Steve had been trying to prove themselves in an entirely different manner. After listening to Klaus’ long winded bragging about having driven a Ferrari, Roger was determined to make Klaus eat his words. Roger’s “Scent of a Woman” inspired scene at the Ferrari showroom was funny and I liked that the car salesman had no idea what Roger was parodying. Although we didn’t see what exactly changed that salesman’s mind, Roger kept pushing his bit until he finally drove out of there in a car. Klaus’ slow-motion jaw drop as the two of them drove by him in Las Vegas was a great payoff to this little side story.
Watch Pretty Little Liars – If These Dolls Could Talk Online S02E24

If These Dolls Could Talk
The episode kicks off with Spencer having a painkiller induced vision of Alison visiting her. Alison tells her she’s getting warmer and then takes a few of her pills for the road. I have two questions here. Why is the bottle of pills open and the door wide open when Spencer wakes up if it was a dream? And why does Spencer have so many painkillers from cutting her hand?
“If These Dolls Could Talk” brought us back to that scary doll hospital, introduced us to some new characters and revisited our usual suspects. With the big reveal just a week away, tonight’s episode gave us a lot of teases about A’s identity. BUT it’s up to us to look really closely at each suspected A.
Big Plot Points to Remember: Lots of talk about going to the police this week. Ali appears to Spencer. Jenna takes off her bandage, but says she can’t see. She asks Toby to take page 5 of the autopsy, which Garrett gave her, to the police. The Liars, sans Aria, go back to the Doll Hospital, meet the creepy owner and her psychic 9 year old grandson. Later, they find an Ali doll in the basement. Mona and Caleb make out, where Melissa can see them. A takes the bait. The police arrest Garrett. In Ezria news, Ezra loses his job, and Aria and Ezra do it.
Of course, Melissa continues to act crazier and crazier, so that by the time the arrest happens she’s making her scariest faces of all time at Spencer. Not a safe situation — and much less so when Mona gets her next A Task: Breaking up Caleb and Hanna. It takes some convincing, but Caleb eventually agrees to getting caught (by Melissa, and/or the omniscient A) making out with her in a car. Considering how much he still hates Mona, this is super gross for all three of them, but it does the trick: The girls get yet more confirmation that Melissa is trouble.

At the Movies
If I’m looking at how “At The Movies” concluded from Hank’s perspective, it’s almost impossible to think that with everything that has come before this episode, and then what occurs throughout the episode, that Hank would end up in the good graces of both Becca and Karen. Hank loses his job to Tyler, who is signed by Charlie. Charlie was told by Hank not to sign Tyler, but Charlie couldn’t resist. So, Hank loses his job and then chooses to fire Charlie and lose his best friend in the process. In the end Hank gets what he truly wants in Becca and Karen, which is a bit odd with three episodes left.
So we’re on-set at Malibu Cop, where Samurai Apocalypse is increasingly unhappy with the dialogue in his generic cop-movie ripoff. Tasked to “write better shit”, Hank retreats to his trailer to get inspired. Or high. A brief flirtation with the movie’s leading lady results in some snappy dialogue and a reward of oral sex for Hank. Unfortunately, he gets caught in the act, which leads to Samurai being seriously displeased.
Charlie has had his bouts of sexual depravity in the past, starting with his office masturbation tape and culminating this season in a blowjob from a transvestite. Now, he’s with Lizzie, and apparently found love. Sadly, that love was killed. In “Perverts and Whores”, Stu revealed to Charlie that Lizzie gave the producer a BJ in exchange for a role in Santa Monica Cop. When Charlie threatened to tell Marcy, Stu suggested that Charlie stay silent so that he doesn’t upset the mother of his child. Later on, Charlie had a crisis of conscience. He told Marcy that Lizzie stepped out on him, but decided to lie about Stu. She was relieved.
Watch Simpsons – How I Wet Your Mother Online S23E16

How I Wet Your Mother
Well the tables have turned with The Simpsons falling behind the Comedy Central animated show in “How I Wet Your Mother.” The snowy setting of Homer’s original dream, the landscape of Homer’s subconscious mind, and the gravity-defying slow battle between Professor Frink and Chief Wiggum all helped create a more precise satire of the film.
I thought the beginning of this week’s episode of The Simpsons with Smithers in the supply closet was quite funny. It is amazing how hard it is to get quality supplies at work! When I started at my firm, I asked my assistant to get me some nice fine point, gel pens or roller points and she kindly advised me that we only had ball point. I could either get them on my own or put in a special request, which is just another way of saying get them on your own. Let’s hope that things are a little better over at Fox. Like Homer, my instinct would have been to raid the supply closet rather than close the open door. I loved the accordion post it bit with Lenny.
The second act has Homer quickly put together that his bedwetting is probably tied to his betrayal of his co-workers, but his problem persists even after they forgive him. When Marge is turned off by his Confidence Man Adult Diapers (ha!), she takes a night walk and meets up with Professor Frink, who has invented an Inception device. This is quite a lot of plot development in a short time, but the episode hums along so well in this act that it does not seem rushed. The gag about Homer napping with a many-armed Apu was the weakest joke in this segment, but most of the others, particularly the nerdy ones about the poles of Mars and the Adobe Acrobat update, were strong enough to carry all of the plot mechanics along. None of the jokes here were extraordinary, but there were few enough stinkers that they had a cumulative strength.
Watch Family Guy – Killer Queen Online S10E16

Killer Queen
After an off week with a tired arson story and way too many Mort jokes, “Family Guy” rebounded a bit with “Killer Queen.” It was no “Back to the Pilot,” but it was fun enough.
Family Guy episodes usually follow this type of structure: A plot thread is introduced in the opening minutes that has nothing to do with the episode’s main plot; the first plot runs its course throughout the first act or so, eventually connecting to the main plot; and then, the rest of the episode is focused on the main plot before resetting everything back to the status quo at the very end. This is usually accompanied by a side plot that might end up linking to the main plot but most of the time doesn’t. Episodes are usually a bunch of ideas thrown together, and this episode was the same way, more so than usual. The side plot in this episode ended up wrapping up a little sooner than usual, I think, aside from the connection at the end, and that was also a little strange.
First, Peter wants Chris to enter a hot dog-eating contest against undefeated champion Charles Yamamoto, but because this is an animated sitcom, he has to find a way to come up with the $50 entry fee. While he browses his old possessions in the attic with Brian and Chris, they stumble upon a crate of records, including a copy of Queen’s 1977 album News Of The World—the one with “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions” on it. The album cover, with artwork from sci-fi artist Frank Kelly Freas, depicts a giant robot holding the dead and bloodied members of the band, and the image deeply disturbs Stewie, who can’t even stand to glance at the thing. Brian promptly ponies up the money for the entry fee, having found his entertainment for the week.
Both the A and B plots had some really standout moments, though considering the plot with Stewie and Brian was mostly just a series of gags it’s no surprise that it was full of funny moments. Since it really didn’t take up too much screen time, I’m going to go ahead and get my thought on the B plot out to the way. I loved everything about it (though Stewie resorting to suicide was a little disturbing to see). This reminded me a lot of the recent B plot where Peter was constantly falling down the new stairs. It had that same feel to it with it essentially using the same joke over and over again and escalating it with each use. Stewie’s reactions were priceless, and his dialogue when vocalizing his fear was terrific. “I’ll tell you what the news of the world is! We’re in a lot of goddamn(?) trouble!”
Watch American Dad – Dr. Klaustus Online S07E13

Dr. Klaustus
Klaus is not my favorite American Dad character, so when I saw that tonight’s episode was titled “Dr. Klaustus” I lowered my expectations just a bit. There’s nothing in particular that I dislike about him, it’s just that I simply don’t find that smug fish all too amusing. Surprisingly, I found Klaus to be rather enjoyable as the lead in this particular plot. It might have been because I generally agreed with his analysis of the situation in the Smith household. While I might let a white lie slide, the lies that Roger’s alter ego, “Dr. Penguin” had been encouraging were on a completely different level.
Roger has been playing the family therapist, a Dr. Penguin, and has been consistently telling each of the family members to lie to each other about their various, increasingly fucked-up issues. But Klaus is a trained psychologist, and knows he could do better. So he sense Roger’s new alter-ego, Sgt. Pepper of the Army Reserve, to Iraq. Iraq’s a long way to travel for a Hurt Locker parody, where Roger cleans out latrines instead of disarming bombs. This is probably the weakest portion of the episode, or at least the most disappointing. Roger’s character is one-note, and he doesn’t really interact with anyone interesting, although a moment when he declares himself unfit for human society is fairly entertaining.
After Roger’s discovery that he only listened to Klaus when he wasn’t seeing him as a fish made me think that maybe Klaus would use Roger’s disguise techniques to get the family to listen to him. Instead, it all wrapped up rather nicely with Roger’s “Sgt. Pepper” authoritatively telling the Smiths what they needed to do to fix their messed up situation. It’s kind of a shame, because the bit with Klaus’ lips sticking out of Daniel Craig’s magazine mouth was hilarious and I think I’d probably warm to Klaus as a character if he spent a lot more time using magazine cut outs to make his points known.
Watch Once Upon a Time – Red-Handed Online S01E15

Red-Handed
There is something vaguely unsatisfying about the “Red-Handed” episode of ONCE UPON A TIME. It could be my mood, but the episode feels like more back story than actual moving along of the plot. Yes, I get that when you’re trying to spin a tale over the course of multiple seasons, you don’t want to play your cards too fast. Fair enough. But after a while, the returns start diminishing. Sure, it’s nice to know how Grumpy got that way, or in this case, who Red Riding Hood really is, but after a while what you really want to see is some Evil Queen backside getting kicked.
Regina and Mr. Gold are still the only characters aware of their previous life, and while the series is developing into an adequate drama that uses fairy tale metaphors for real world situations, the central conflict is all but forgotten. “Red-Handed” is a fine episode with a few surprising twists in the last act, but the show’s formula is starting to get a little stale.
Intrigued by August’s (Eion Bailey) tales of going to Nepal and lemurs with glowing eyes, Ruby decides she wants no more of waiting tables at Granny’s Diner. Wanting to find herself, she intends to leave Storybrooke (never a good idea) and head for destinations unknown. But she’s rescued from that likely bad fate by Emma (Jennifer Morrison), who hires her to help out around the police station.
But the boxed heart wasn’t the only suspicious part about the case. David (Josh Dallas) was found twice in the woods, once wandering aimlessly, and a second time unconscious and bleeding from the head. What’s his deal? Was he sleepwalking? Could he have sleep-murdered Kathryn? Whatever’s going on, I’m pretty sure they’ll need more than a sheriff and her plucky secretary to crack this case.
Watch Walking Dead – Better Angels Online S02E12

Better Angels
Last night was the penultimate episode of The Walking Dead for the season, and you had to think AMC had some surprises in store for us. Especially since they killed off a major character at the end of last week’s episode. You had to know Better Angels was going to up the ante. Of course, I assumed that it would set the table for a big showdown in the season finale, but I was dead wrong there. But we’ll get to that in a bit.
“The Walking Dead” season 1 only had six episodes to accommodate everyone’s schedule and get it on air by Halloween of 2010. As a result, it felt less like a season of TV than a rough sketch of a series, introducing lots of characters and ideas and then going away before it could build any real forward momentum. Season 2 had a more traditional 13 episodes, and has had a more traditional cable season structure as a result. I don’t think it’s been successful at a lot of what it’s tried to do in terms of deepening our understanding of the characters, but there have been a number of clear arcs, most prominently the rising tension between Rick and Shane, who not only have a major philosophical disagreement, but a mutually exclusive desire to be Lori’s man, Carl’s father, etc. And that tension reaches its inevitable conclusion this week as Rick kills Shane after recognizing that Shane really did want to murder him to claim Lori, Carl and the unborn baby as his own.
The thing is, THE WALKING DEAD has now killed two major characters in the space of two weeks, one week before the end of a season that was shaped (and a little marred) by behind the scenes turmoil. If the upcoming season finale sees more death (which seems inevitable), or if it chases this dwindling group of survivors from the farm, well, I don’t know that a seven month break will be enough to stop my head from spinning. In other words, and I’ll utilize another baseball analogy: sometimes when you swing a bat too hard, you miss the ball and the bat goes flying out of your hands and into the crowd. After tonight’s WALKING DEAD, I feel like I’ve just been hit by a flying bat and I’m really worried that I’m going to wince next time this show’s writers take a swing.

You Take for Granted
When we last left our Desperate Housewives ladies, Bree had figured out the truth about Orson and his involvement in the revenge plan he had concocted in order to win back her heart. And although his actions had failed, the creepy look Orson exhibited at the end of the episode when he dropped off a letter to the Fairview Police hinted that there just might be more to come for Bree before the end of the season. Has Bree set herself up for more trouble than she bargained for by telling Orson off? Meanwhile, Susan and Lynette came to blows concerning the “correct” parenting for Parker and Julie’s baby, as both wanted to be the most involved parent. Mrs. McCluskey admitted to Roy and Gabrielle about her terminal cancer, and Carlos finally returned home from rehab.
The episode spends a lot of time focusing on the subject of taking things for granted; the episode title sums up the premise. Mike realizes this and in an almost goodbye, he lets Susan know how much he loves her. I love what was done with Mike’s last scene; his conversation with Susan on the step, him protecting her from the bullet and the montage of moments played. The montage was a great touch by the writers because it isn’t just a case of him watching his life flash before his eyes but the viewers watching his moments with Susan and remembering them.
Lynette is going all out for Penny’s birthday (single parent overcompensation, party of one), and she’s irked when Jane shows up with a photographer and takes all kinds of cute pictures with Penny. Lynette accuses her of not being family, just the woman Tom is… seeing. That’s when Jane lets Lynette know that Tom has asked her to move in. Then Tom drops the bombshell that he wants them to see a lawyer this week. Jane comes over later to apologize and starts to choke on a cheese puff. Lynette takes a significant pause before giving her the Heimlich. For a second, I really thought she was going to let her die!
