Telefizzled w.13
Lucky week 13, which was like two weeks ago, but that Festivus holiday had its way with my time. This post includes weeks 12 and 13 since 13 only had my Monday and Tuesday shows at the start of the week.
Chuck (w.12): Sarah’s confidence man daddy shows up played by none other than Gary Cole. No TPS reports. Anyway, the team somehow pulls off a con on some sheik/prince and then goes to heck and then the team decides to save daddy from going to the klink even though he double crossed everyone. Something about a DeLorean and the General Lee too, but kinda just Morgan related noise.
Chuck (w.13): Best guest appearance ever! Sergeant Al Powell is back on the job Christmas Eve at a hostage situation in the Burbank BuyMore. Twinkies still in hand. Turns out Big Al is Big Mike’s cousin. Oh, and Sarah basically executes a Fulcrum agent to protect Chuck, but he doesn’t know why she does this and it just leaves you hanging with something until the series starts back up in January. Of course they used the time previous in the episode to draw the two back together some more so they can fling them apart again. Why does television continue to do this all the time?
Big Bang (w.12): Leonard’s girlfriend has stealthily moved in with him. Penny helps him figure it out. By the end we are left unsure if they are still together as the GF doesn’t show up in the next episode. Much like Chuck, this episode is cloudy in my head because of the awesomeness the following week.
Big Bang (w.13): I’ll just jump right to it. Sheldon receives a Leonard Nimoy autographed napkin from Penny for Christmas. His reaction is priceless. In fact, the whole scene was excellent. This was all set up with Sheldon worrying about being able to match whatever present Penny might present to him. In the end, he couldn’t do it. I’m sure Sheldon is working on a clone now.
HIMYM (w.12): Barney and Ted fake the fact that they didn’t have anything to do with a fight to seem cool to the gang. Suck.
HIMYM (w.13): Ted’s sister isn’t that hot and Barney doesn’t sleep with her even though he had been wanting it for years. Marshall brings Robin to a Minnesota themed bar because she’s homesick. According to Minnesotans, Canadiens are afraid of the dark. Suck.
Eli Stone (w.12): Word is we’ll get some kind of wrap-up for the show, if they air it. As for this one, I don’t remember what happens with this week’s case. Seal shows up for a performance. Bridget Moynahan must have been part of a case. Tom Brady is a jackass. She’s much prettier than horse face.
Eli Stone (w.13): Okay, remember this case… it is a cute college dropout girl that will solve cold fusion in the future, but FBI thinks she’s a terrorist now. Eli beds Bridget (nice work dude!) and drives her away with his crazy prophet talk (bad work dude!). Tom Brady is still a jackass.
The Office: Best episode of the year? Maybe. First one I wanted to include a quote from here? Definitely.
In the Schrute family, we believe in the five fingered intervention; awareness, education, control, acceptance and punching.
And another:
Michael: You know what Meredith? You let your hair on fire today. What about tomorrow? What is going to happen when you come into work and you’re dead?
Dwight: I stab her in the brain with a wooden stick.
Dwight: [Speaking to the camera] There are several ways to kill a zombie. But the most satisfying is to stab it in the brain with a wooden stick.
Oh… and everyone besides Andy now knows that Angela and Dwight have been busy.
30 Rock: Christmas Special! Jack runs over his mother with the car. Liz Lemon ruins Christmas for some boys. Christmas Special is teh suck.
The Hills: Um… I watched like two episodes. Let me see if I get this right… MTV expects us to believe that Whitney gets this uber-awesome job on her own which happens to be in NYC where they can then have a show titled The City centered around her and her new fake/actor friends? Sold. Starts tonight. Oh, and Heidi became Mrs. Spencer Douchebag. Good job!

Now I just need a reason to whip out the Schrute intervention methodology on Mookie and/or Joe.

For anyone who cares, I was not impressed by “The City.” The “Bromance” premiere wasn’t much better, but with the adorable Brody Jenner taking center stage, I’m sure I’ll tune in again… and again…

@Ed: If I start watching Bromance you need to stage a Schrute intervention on me and just skip to the punching.

[…] I realized that MTV planted the seeds for this one even earlier on in this season’s Hills than I previously thought. Anyway, this show is totally full of it. You couldn’t even call this one a quarter reality […]
