Scribbles About TV: Great News

This is NBC's newest comedy and I was pretty excited about it... it looked funny... but it also looked like maybe it could have been bad... but everyone in it and everyone involved in making it is super funny... so I thought it would be something fun to review.

Basic plot of the movie: A grown woman has a close relationship with her helicopter mom... but she wants to get away from her kind of sort of- but her mom gets an internship at the news studio that she works at. And her mom is played by the amazing Andrea Martin.

So I think the cast of this show is really funny. Andrea Martin, Briga Heelan, John Michael Higgins, Nicole Ritchie, Adam Campbell and Horatio Sanz... all super super funny! John Michael Higgins particularly in kind of a starring role here... He really the star of the show... but he has a much more prominent part than he usually has... and he is so good in that role. He's just great! And is really perfect for this role.

I love Andrea Martin in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I think she is really really funny in this. She's very funny, but she's also a really nice mom and you just like the relationship the two characters have even though it's a little bit strange... they're just very good together! Briga Heelan is really good also as being somewhat annoyed... but still totally loves her mom... it's just a great relationship and it makes for such a funny dynamic! They're just great together. They have the perfect chemistry...

And that is something that I would say about the cast overall! They have great chemistry great energy! The scenes with John Michael Higgins and Andrea Martin are amazing... and so are the scenes with Nicole Ritchie and Michael Higgins... PROPS TO NICOLE RITCHIE! Btw! If I had seen that she was on the show... I probably wouldn't have thought it would be very good... but she is so funny and she's just very good in her role. She seems slightly disinterested... if you were going to compare her to someone like Bud's girlfriend on Grace and Frankie... who is kind of similar... she's not quite as good as that actress... but I still think she does a great job and is a surprising delight as far as this show goes! I was happy to see her on this... I like Nicole Ritchie as a personality... so I thought it was good that she was on this show. It's good to see her again on tv.

The concept of the show is nothing that seems new or revolutionary or anything... yet it's a really funny and kind of refreshing take on a mother-daughter type of show. It's something you can watch with your mom and have fun with... and overall it's just really funny. I think if you like 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt you would like this a lot... if you're a reporter this is probably a funny show to watch... and it's just really good. A lot of people would like it and I recommend checking it out. For some reason I think this might not be something that lasts very long on TV... but I think a lot of people might really like it... so hopefully people are watching it and relating to it.

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...

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...
