This week we have Rupaul, Andy Ritchter, a Kerkovich sister war, and two storylines revolving around Dave’s (Zachary Knighton) sandwich truck. Sounds like fun right? Unfortunately the result is more ho hum. And if last week’s numbers are any indication, these friends need to bring out the big comedy guns to get as many viewers as possible.

Let’s bitch!

Happy Endings review – 3×14/3×15: ‘In The Heat Of The Noche’/ ‘The Straight Dope’

The great comedy drought of 2013 is over. Happy Endings returns this week after what seems like a longer break than the inbetween seasons of The Sopranos.  It’s a good thing ABC decided to give us a double dose to appease our hunger for comedy gold. Now did the show come back in style?

Let’s break it down… [Read more…]

Smash review – 2×08: ‘The Bells and Whistles’

Last week Smash left us with the possibility of a cringe inducing romance. This week, they bring back the yawn inducing one. Sam’s (Leslie Odom Jr.) back. Luckily for us, there’s drama involved. Let’s dish. [Read more…]

Smash review – 2×07: ‘Musical Chairs’

This week on Smash: two major exits, a show closing, a new song, and the beginning of a cringe worthy love triangle. On the bright side, it’s the end of the dreadful Terry Falls (Sean Hayes) storyline. Let’s bitch! [Read more…]

Smash review – 2×06: ‘The Fringe’

Another week, another ho hum episode of Smash. While season two has been much more enjoyable then season one, there are still moments and plot points that make me shake my head. At least in this episode we get another killer song from Hit List to add to our playlists.

Let’s bitch… [Read more…]
