THIS WEEK IN TV (Week of 10/19)

Sunday 

Once Upon a Time- I liked this weeks episode... but there were so many sad moments. Like Hook still being a bad guy a little bit... but he loves Emma so much that he might change. And there was Rumple being a really bad guy too. And Mickey Mouse was in it which was cool. I was happy to see a little more of Anna, but I don't like Anna as much as Elsa.

Brooklyn 99- Really good episode. It was a callback to last year's Halloween episode where Jake tries to steal Holt's medal, only this time he tries to steal his watch. They really did a good job of taking something they already did and making it really good and different a second time. It was similar to Arrested Development's "Pier Pressure" and "Making a Stand." So good. Just good TV all around.

The Affair- Didn't actually catch this weeks ep. I'm sure it was good, I'll have to catch up tomorrow.

Monday 

Gotham- Really clever episode. I liked that there was even almost a friendship between Gordon and Harvey. It also really felt like a Batman movie or Comic Book. I'm guessing a lot of these storylines are lifted from the Comic Books because this had a real comic book feel to it. I really like this show and this was quite good.

Jane The Virgin- I'm really impressed by this show. I didn't think I would like it and I'm a little obsessed. It totally won me over. There wasn't quite as much stuff going on in this episode as there was in the first episode, but I'm happy we get to know Jane's father as more than the Soap Opera actor and I just thought it was really good all around. And that ending was a shocker :o! Highly recommend checking this show out!

The Big Bang Theory- it was pretty good this week. I like Sheldon and Raj together. The Penny and Leonard story was funny. It was funny.

Tuesday 

Forever-I still haven't watched last week's episode in full... its a good show but it isn't my absolute favorite. I need a catch up session with this show!

Marry Me-  Really funny second ep. The pilot was funny but I didn't totally love it... Now I love it. Casey Wilson is really funny and has great chemistry with Ken Marino. I'm kind of obsessed with Gil, who stayed in an all you can eat buffet for 29 hours... I always said if life went horribly wrong I would just go to a place with endless fries and stay there... Plus the end was just so so funny. Good show!

Wednesday 

The Middle- This isn't my favorite show... but its on and there isn't much else on on Wednesdays... so I watched it. And it was funny enough. Not the absolute best in the world... but it was entertaining. There were a few laughs.

Modern Family- This was pretty good this week. I thought the Manny thing was funny. I liked that the Dunphey's were accidentally hitting on their new neighbors. The Lilly's teacher thing was super super funny. And that her friend was really dumb. Fun episode.

AHS Freakshow- Really REALLY liked this episode. I'm starting to like Freakshow. I like the performances. I thought the guy with the demon face on his head was pretty cool... I'm already excited for next week. I really did not like the first episode, but this season is growing on me.

The League- Really liked this episode. Corbin Bernson (idk if that is how you spell his name) was really funny as Jenny's father. I think it was really funny that he kept making fun of Kevin... similar to how Jenny did. Also I love that Jenny's maiden name is Banger... just so funny overall! Also Rafi was funny.

Thursday 

How To Get Away With Murder- I watched this, and I love Laurel so I'm happy this episode focused mainly on her... but I don't remember much else about the episode. I'll need to rewatch this... ugh!

So this week's winners... I'm going to have to say Freakshow for drama because I liked the legend that the whole story was telling and I just thought it was really exciting and really really good. And for comedy... it is close between The League and Marry Me... Not going to lie... but if I had to pick one, The League wins. Good week for TV! Love Brooklyn 99 too!

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...

September 2015: It List

Now that I do weekly favorites, I feel like these will be less surprising... but still. Some good things. 1) Pumpkin Spice Lattes- Its the most wonderful latte of the year! Lol. All the yes. Soooo much yes. Its so creamy and pumpkiny and delicious. It was what has been missing from my life for a long time and now its back and I think they get more and more delicious every year. And I know last year people were like "pumpkin spice isn't cool anymore." Have you had any? It is delicious!!!! I'm a big fan of the PSL. 2) Arrow- I've been wanting to watch this show for a while. The guy that plays Oliver is not only hot, but he was really funny and good on a talk show I saw him on... so that made me like "ohh I need to watch this." I'm also not super into comic books or anything, but I do like Batman and DC movies at least more than anything else and I didn't really realize that there were so many tv shows in the DC universe right now. There are a f...
