This Week in TV- (Week of 11/2/14)

Sunday- 

Once Upon a Time- I like the connection between Emma and the Snow Queen, but that is very creepy and dark. I liked that this episode focused around Belle, I thought that was great. I thought Belle's mom was going to be the missing sister, but I guess she wasn't. I'm not sure I totally understood everything that was going on, this is one of their harder to follow storylines, but overall it was good.

The Affair- Must catch up!

Bob's Burgers- I'm so happy this show is back! I thought it was really funny too. Tina fell in love with a fake ghost that Louise made up... it was just really good all around. They always have good Halloween episodes and this was really really great.

Brooklyn 99- Really funny episode all around. Holt was good, it was funny that Jake and Amy found out about Gina and Boyle... The club scene was funny, and I like seeing the softer side of Rosa. She was especially good paired with Terry Crews character this week.

Monday 

Gotham- Must catch up!

Jane The Virgin- Good episode. I kind of love Raphael and I love whats going on between him and Jane. Its pretty amazing. I also like that Jane found out who her father was and I'm happy she's upset her mom didn't tell her. Jane always "does the right thing" more or less and I like that she's still human and she gets upset with these things.

Tuesday 

New Girl- Ohhh my gosh. This was the best episode ever. One of my favorite episodes of any tv show ever. I feel like if this happened to my friends and I we would react the same exact way... it was just the funniest thing.

The Mindy Project- Good episode. I liked Peter's girl! But he was such a jerk to her! And I love anything with Mark Duplass in it... seriously he is amazing. Especially as Delorean.

Marry Me- Really good this week too. I'm becoming kind of obsessed with every character and with Annie and Jake in general! They're both really amazing!

Forever- .... must catch up

Wednesday 

AHS Freakshow- Slightly underwhelming after the last couple weeks... Not gonna lie. It wasn't bad, it had some great guest stars and plot twists and when the crowd hated Elsa I really felt her pain and it was very moving. I guess saying it was a letdown after the past couple of weeks is not quite right... It was a decent follow up... But not all that spectacular.

Thursday- 

How To Get Away With Murder- OMG! It was amazing. This was probably my favorite episode yet. It was so good. I'm obsessed with Rebecca, who was also Maggie from The Carrie Diaries... and just what a great episode!

The Big Bang Theory- Too Mushy... it was cute but it wasn't that exciting. It was just like "ohhh i love you penny, I love you leonard." Amy and Sheldon also said I love you... but nothing wowed me about the episode as a whole.

Friday 

Cristela- I don't usually watch tv on fridays... but I was home and had nothing to do, so I accidentally watched Cristela for the first time... it was cute but a little confusing. Cristela gave her niece money for her birthday in the hopes that they would buy her a tablet and Cristela was upset that she got a purse instead that "all the cool girls had." While this message is good... it was weird. Why didn't she just buy her a tablet if she wanted her niece to have a tablet? Why isn't it cool to have a tablet? I just don't think that message was as strong as it was meant to be. It was kind of cute... but there were no real laughs and just... no. Not nearly as funny as The Neighbors.

So this weeks winners... for Drama it was definitely How To Get Away With Murder and I have a feeling it will be for the next few weeks because it just looks sooo soo good coming up. For comedy it was New Girl, which surprised me. Not because New Girl isn't a great show because it totally is... but compared to The Mindy Project and other comedies that are on it just has never been my absolute favorite... this week it totally totally was one of the funniest things ever on television.

Overall this week was awesome and I can't wait to catch up on Gotham and Forever because those look like they've been really great also!

Byeeee!

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
