New Girl - Kids
“I want to rub my face on his face!” is the best line in
recent memory. The little girl was well-casted, and we are glad that CeCe isn’t
pregnant. We loved Nick’s reaction to Russell’s daughter, Sarah, having a crush
on him (“But I look like an old man!”) Nick, you’re perfect, and Jess is going
to see that one day soon. We liked seeing Jeanne Tripplehorn getting post-Big
Love work as Russell’s ex-wife who is definitely not over him. We are hoping to
see more. Jess needs another archenemy. This show is the greatest in that it is
consistent. It’s never horrid. It spans from pretty funny to hilarious. If it
brought Lizzy Caplan back for another try at love with Nick, it would be
perfect. We still haven’t seen the extent of her rage!
Episode grade: B+
Cougar Town - Ways to Be Wicked
We have to agree with the conclusion of this episode that
if a family member just continues to be harmful and disrespectful, there is a
point where you can cut them loose. There’s something to be said for
unconditional love and seeing family members through hard times, but it
benefits no one to let a family member continue to hurt you…especially that
family member. We loved that Grayson is helping Laurie start her cake business!
And that the security guard was bribable! This episode made us like Ellie more
and gave her some well-needed softening. The episode was pretty funny too. Overall,
we loved this one.
Episode grade: A-
South Park - I Should Never Have Gone Ziplining
This episode spoofed “I shouldn’t have…” reality TV
programs. We weren’t feeling the first half. We were confused that the boys
weren’t having fun. One of us went ziplining in Colorado, and it was super fun
and scary. There were all sorts of steep drops and everything. Those boys
picked the wrong tour. We liked the Shaka Bra thing, but the episode really
picked up when they did a “re-enactment” of Kenny’s death. They had what looked
like a bunch of douche-y frat boys play Kyle, Stan, Kenny, and Eric. We got a
taste of what it would look like if South Park were not a cartoon. We liked
that Kenny died of boredom and it was a great way to bring back the Christmas
Poo himself.
Episode grade: B
The Voice this week
Christina should NOT have gone with Jessie Campbell.
Growth and “Christina’s heart” are all well and good, but she wasted a good
contender and just had to end up sending Ashley home the next day anyway. She
should have gone with America’s vote and booted Ashley. That said, we prefer
Chris Mann and Lindsay Pavao. Chris has a great voice and Lindsay has a unique
one. They both just need the perfect songs that will fit them. Lindsay’s record
is the one we would buy, so we are rooting for her. We thought Erin Willett did
a great job with the ADELE song, but ADELE songs should not be covered anymore.
We are glad RaeLynn went home. She wasn’t good. But that leaves Blake with no
country artists, which is unexpected. Generally, the right people have been
going home on this show. No one on the show blows us away, but we still have
some dogs in the race.
