Ok people, here we go again. The show we hate the most, but love to hate watch. How many times will we say “What that what?” or “Jimmy Who?!” this week? This episode is called “The Fringe” and it wouldn’t surprise me if the writers introduced storyline involving aliens. Continue reading

I usually don’t drink on Monday nights, but this week’s episode of Girls had me breaking out the only thing I had in the house: Sake. It was necessary. Graphic bukkake and punctured eardrums were only a mere taste of what made this episode so down-to-the-pit-of-my-stomach disturbing. But I don’t mean that in a bad way — I loved the episode. After all, I intimately know each and every one of these grotesque characters. I have been them all in one way or another when I was in my 20s. Don’t lie and say you haven’t been one of them either, at least a little bit.
This is why I am infatuated with Girls and am sad there is only one episode left.
I’m looking at this show through the eyes of a 42-year-old woman. And a lot has changed since my 20s, but reflecting back I remember the intense highs and lows, all the feelings and the need to find my “voice” and the “meaning” in just about everything. There’s the of finding the “one”, the acceptance of bad behaviors in friends, lovers and myself, the awkward sex, the power-shifts in friendships and relationships, the knowing everything, the knowing nothing, the million and one spiritual journeys, the hating and needing my parents and the true belief that I was the special-est snowflake in the whole universe.
I also remember it being a great time and experiencing some of the best moments of my life. Late night talks were everything and I was never more daring and open. Continue reading
SNL doesn’t do much right these days, so when Justin Timberlake is the host and musical guest it’s a real treat. My hopes are high. I hope he doesn’t let us down! Continue reading
Hey, everybody! Last week, we bid adieu to Benjamin the Australian, or, as was fondly known around here, the Albino Cereal Killer. Aw. Sadness.
Anyway, tonight, the remaining designers must design prom wear. With duct tape. DUCT TAPE. Not only do we have a challenge in which the designers must design for–gasp!–real humans, they must use an unconventional material!
The horror. Continue reading
Tonight we get two things never seen before on Community. The first one is Shirley’s home life as most of the Study Group go to Shirley’s Thanksgiving (complete with Theo Huxtable, I hope) and the other is meet Jeff’s loser of a dad played by Mr Streisand, James Brolin.
Thanksgiving (more specifically, US American Thanksgiving) has been a sitcom staple and from the description it continues with Community as Shirley’s thanksgiving goes pear shaped and the gang plots their escape. My personal favorite Thanksgiving episodes are WKRP’s famous Turkey Drop episode and The League’s season 3 episode which ended with viewers gazing into the “vinegar strokes” of Jeff Goldblum.
Welcome back to the show everyone loves to hate watch. This week we have a read through. How many times will Jimmy Who interrupt and demand Derrick’s attention. The more I think about it, the more I think he’s this season’s Ellis. Always where he shouldn’t be and making outrageous demands. Anywho, see you in the comments! Continue reading
Hello, fashion mavens! It’s again time for another installment of Needle and Thread: Fashion Victims Unit! But first, last week’s episode served up sadness in the form of a “let’s design for a country singer!” challenge. We also learned that New York City as a living, breathing entity has absolutely NO idea what passes for “country,” so it shouldn’t have been a surprise that all the designers heard “country” and “rock and roll” and thought that meant “shiny, short, leather, and more shiny!” Also, the designers didn’t realize (or didn’t care to remember) that Miranda Lambert is not a size -143, but is, in fact, in possession of breasts. Nevertheless, Richard HallmarK (that ‘Q’ ain’t fooling anybody) won, and poor, sad, boring gay Michael–oops, sorry, Matthew was booted. Continue reading
Here we are for Episode 4. The gang finally goes back to class and find themselves in with a tough prof (Malcolm McDowell, who really should be teaching Roman history) and with the obnoxious Foosball loving “power Krauts” from Season 3. I’m assuming that Nick Kroll aka Rodney “Please Call Me” Ruxin from The League will be among them. Also Chang returns to the dismay of Dean Pelton.
Last week’s episode was an awkward 2 way threesome between Abed, Troy and Abed’s Nigerian Banker buddy (Matt Lawson) and Abed, Troy and Britta. It wasn’t great, but it wasn’t horrible like the Season opener was so there was that going for it. Continue reading
Remember that time last week when we bitched about how terrible this show is? Yeah, I do too. Yet here we are. The show we love to hate watch. I wonder how crappy this “song” will be tonight. See y’all in the comments! Continue reading
Welcome to the television show about movies, featuring Seth MacFarlane as this year’s host! We’ve been promised a singing death match between Barbra Streisand and Adele. Anne Hathaway will decompose into burlap tatters while giving her acceptance speech for best supporting actress in the character of Fantine. Angelina’s leg make a return appearance, this time without that pesky body to drag around. Join us for all the excitement! Continue reading
