Parks and Recreation Season 4 Ep 1 : I'm Leslie Knope

Great ep. The opening with Ron escaping was fantastic. Jamming the footrest into the wall, then getting his emergency pack out of the vent. I need to go back and freezeframe to see what he's got all taped together. Also love his quick-growing beard. So, how many toes does Ron have?

I kept thinking that April looked so odd with the coffee cup, then it dawned on me that she was doing a Ron impression.

All summer I was wondering how they were going to handle the Leslie-Ben relationship. They handled it perfectly. Their breakup was simultaneously sad, sweet, and funny.

Chris's hair bothered me. I didn't know it was for a role Lowe was doing, but I wish someone on the show had mentioned it. Pretty glaring.

I wasn't quite sure about the penis picture plotline, but there were some funny bits in it. My favorite was when Ann was sitting at her desk when Leslie came in to talk, and her phone kept alerting her to new messages.

Community Season 3 Ep 1: Biology 101

Loved that the show is back, and I really liked the premiere. Thought John Goodman was hilarious. So was Jeff on monkey gas, and the 2001 Space Odyssey study room. Weird that Jeff was daydreaming in musical form, but liked the line about Jeff/Annie sleeping together (definitely made me laugh out loud). Nice to see Pierce back in the study group, and stepping off to take the heat off Jeff.

Cougar Town references were funny. Britta as a therapist will be fucking hilarious. Thought something was off about Abed's reactions (maybe just Danny Pudi can't do crazy breakdown as well as Donald Glover).

The best part of the episode was Dean Pelton getting that disgusting beard/mustache shaved off. Thank god.

The Secret Circle Season 1 Ep 2 Bound

While I definitely see the benefit of controlling their magic, the whole 'you can't do magic without someone else' thing from the preview sounds really stupid and dangerous.

I continue to like Faye and find Cassie a pain. I liked Diana more this episode with her moment with Adam. I hope they have more couply moments since we are supposed to believe they are in a committed relationship. I might actually ship them. I'm glad Diana found out about Cassie.

I like that Faye isn't all bad and that Dawn used some of their precious powers to help Faye when it came to bringing Sally back to life. We didn't get an answer on whether Charles would have done the same for Diana, though.

I really like Ethan, alcoholic and kind of creepy though he may be. When he started talking to Cassie about how super-attracted he was to her mother...how is that in any way appropriate? Honestly, why do I like him? And she thinks it's sweet. At least he was proactive and didn't just accept being threatened even though that did end tragically.

The added backstory about the powers being stripped was interesting. Is Cassie's grandmother part of the older Circle? If so, why didn't Ethan turn to her? Well, besides Cassie needing someone to stay with.

The Vampire Diaries Season 3 Ep 2 : The Hybrid

Ha! "Hello Caroline."
".... Daddy?"

Jack Coleman! Damn, when he entered the room with Caroline and she said "Dad?" I literally gasped. Casting him as Caroline's gay vampire-hunting daddy? Best. Casting. Ever.

It seems that Klaus' experiment on turning a pack of werewolves into vampires is a resounding failure! As soon as he was muttering about what he'd done wrong and mentioned that yeah, the doppelganger is dead; why did it not work? Stefan looked like he was trying his darndest not to look surprised; not to look like he knows something, in order to protect Elena! I think Stefan is going to do his best to watch over Klaus and to distract him so he won't go back to town to look for Elena.

I thought the most interesting line was when Klaus said he did everything he was told. Who told him? I know that the witches must have told him the curse was bound by the doppleganger but who told him he could make hybrids?

Yay! Alaric is back in the Gilbert house. I loved that conversation between him and Elena in the car. He isn't a lost cause, just in need of some good bromance time.

LOVED the little mythology moment of Tyler having supernatural tastebuds. I can't imagine it'll ever serve him any sort of benefit in the future, at least until the kids hit their mid 20s and start getting into actual wine rather than wine coolers. And who knew the kid liked coffee so much?

I love me some Lockwoods, so I was happy that Carol came around so quickly and stayed the whole time when Tyler woke up. Granted Ty & his mom have always struck me as close (or at least with the healthiest parent/child relationship in MF) but now? Aww.

Not sure why Bonnie is AWOL but let's get her back into the mix please.

Finally, Elena and Alaric have got to stop having so much chemistry together.

Revenge Season 1 Ep 1 Pilot

I liked it. Good soapy fun, I thought. I'm a sucker for revenge storylines, and I like that Emily/Amanda is so hell-bent on it. I'm sure she'll have her moments where she'll question herself, but I'm totally down with her destroying lives in a ruthless manner. I also already have a lot of questions, which bodes well, I think.

The best thing the show has going for it is that it's got strong protagonist and a strong antagonist. You really want to follow Emily VanCamp doing these sneaky things with that facade Wow, I didn't know Madeline Stowe could be that chilling. When she found out that her husband was at the inn having an affair and then later that it was her best friend. Yikes. She looks amazing though. Barely different from Last of the Mohicans!

Modern Family Season 3 Ep 1 & 2 Dude Ranch & When Good Kids Go Bad

Lots of fun stuff with Claire in both episodes, between the unintentional Mrs. Robinson moment and her fanatical obsession with proving she was right (the bit with Mitchell was my favourite).

I liked that it was Mitchell who was insecure about being sufficiently manly for a son. It makes sense for his backstory, but a lot of shows wouldn't get that subtlety.

Replacing Lily was the right thing to do. I loved hearing her talking and giggling and interacting! Not just sitting there motionlessly like a prop. "Killing the baby." Oh my god! Although yeah it was a little jarring to have her go from saying nothing ever to speaking in full sentences. I also like how they managed to fit in the fact that Lily was now older. The "This many is three, that's four." exchange between Claire and Lily was pretty funny.

"A childhood without tumbling!? You knew this and stood by and did nothing!" Oh Phil XD

Loved Cam's musical choices. Jay's "What the hell is going on?" just as Phil asks, "Is that from Footloose?" made me crack up.

Ringer Season 1 Ep 2: She's Ruining Everything

I liked this episode. Like the little flashback. SMG did a good job conveying the twins in that scene. Prob cause Shiv was a fairly normal fed up sister at that point and not a cunning yet petulant rich girl.

I thought Juliet was going to be throwing up blood and B was going to have to call 911 and be forced to be late. But, it was just that B wanted to be wanted. That's pretty dang sad.

It seems pretty confirmed that Shiv put out a hit on herself and she may be planning to frame Andrew for it (since he is seemingly having money troubles). Whatever happened to Sean and whatever happened with Andrew must have been pretty bad if Shiv went from normal woman to faking her death, putting a hit on her sister, and trying to frame her husband for killing "her". Maybe Shiv had a stroke. Anyway, I'm sure we will learn soon enough.

B has to find out S is alive before the end of the season.

New Girl Season 1 Ep 1 : Pilot

Most of the critics say that the key to this show is in the viewer's position on Zooey's character. Either fall in love with her, or find her annoying as hell.

Currently, I'm in the latter category.

Overall, it was decent. The funny moments all belonged to the guys. I pretty much like all three guys, but Zooey's character left me wanting. Maybe she'll grow on me. They need to turn down the awkwardness of her character about 10 notches. It's over the top, and makes the difference between lovable and annoying. Also, can't imagine anyone as socially inept as Zoey's character being able to make friends with the guys so soon.

90210 Season 4 Ep 2 : Rush Hour

Naomi's storyline was completely predictable, yet I still think AM is fun to watch in spite of whatever ridiculousness they throw at her. The reason she didn't get in was particularly stupid, but it didn't take a genius to see she was getting played.

And sorry, Ade, but you are a horrible person who needs to move on with her life. It's not like you switched out Silver's Diet Coke with regular Coke. You freaking switched out her medication with placebos and sent her into a manic spiral. That's not forgivable.

Also Navid, you know the easiest way to get your sister away from her sleazebag boyfriend? Send her to Switzerland and let her be her mother's problem, rather than having her live on the floor of a garage apartment, because I'm not sure, why we the audience should care. The same goes for Dixon's soon to be downward spiral into Ritalin-addiction, because you just know that is where this is all heading, and that is me saying that spoiler free.

Glee Season 3 Ep 1 : The Purple Piano Project

Rachel/Kurt - very well-done, though their duet was a little gratuitous.

Finn - voiceover was okay at establishing what will presumably be his theme this season. Nothing offensive, which is a big step up from last year.

Santana - okay, the plot didn't demonize her, which was my major concern when I first heard about it, but that was pretty tepid stuff. I'm not even clear how she arranged that, particularly Quinn's participation.

Will/Emma - confirms that the show wasted a season and a half by not just letting them move forward with their relationship. I liked their scenes this episode.

Sue - still doing her tired villain schtick, but less stupid than last year.

Quinn - uuuhhhhh... I liked the unexpected scene with Santana and Brittany; maybe the writers actually are going to keep them as friends?

Everyone else - cute in the background.

New girl Sugar - funny enough.

Musical numbers: pretty good across the board, though, as I said, Rachel and Kurt's number was just kind of there, though I can see the contrast they were going for.
