Scribbles About TV: Trial and Error Season 1 Finale (spoilers)

I loved this show since the very first few minutes... the cast is perfect, the writing is brilliant... everything about it was just really funny and overall just great.

It takes place in a rural town in South Carolina where a bisexual man who teaches poetry is the "town weirdo" and accused of murdering his wife... and could be sentenced to death with little to no evidence against him.

The whole series had a lot of twists and turns and it felt a little bit like Clue... it was goofy and you laughed at everything but really... there was still a dead woman and there were a lot of suspicious people... including Larry... but in the end... it wasn't anyone... it was a bird.

Do I think that was a good choice... not quite sure... lol. I thought it ended nicely... especially because it can be picked up for a second season... which I hope it is... but if it isn't picked up for another season or if they go with a different storyline next season- the end works just as well. There was no real killer... but the team does have a new case and I would like to see them try to solve that...

I thought the characters were super funny... East Peck as a whole is probably my favorite character. It is as important as any character on the show just the way that Pawnee Indiana was... everything about the people in the town can pretty much be attributed by the town itself. It's a very small... rural town. I haven't been to the south too much... I'm sure "the south" as a whole isn't like this... but I'm sure elements of the goofiness of the show can be seen in some more rural areas in the south... and even here... I'm sure there are "East Peck's" in New Jersey. I'm sure there are lots of east peck's in the world... and that's kind of funny.

Let's talk about Jayma Mays for a second... because she is so funny. She is a really funny actress... but I think she often plays the less funny character or just kind of a passing side joke... she was sooo soo funny in this. There is no real "funniest person on the show." Everyone was incredibly funny and I think my favorite characters are Larry and Dwayne... but Jayma Mays was wayyy funnier than I expected her to be.

And Sherri Shepherd... totally perfect... everyone was really quite perfect on the show was perfect... I could say that a thousand times. It was the type of goofy sort of comedy that I was looking for for so long... everyone was so goofy it just worked really well. I was super happy with how it all turned out.

I think that's everything I can say about it.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
