Modern Family – Pilot (S01E01)
ABC
If you didn’t see Modern Family last night and you’re reading this review of the episode, stop. Go watch it, then come back. This show is officially my favourite new comedy of the year. And, it’s all because of one scene. Seriously, if you didn’t see it, go watch it now. The rest of you, follow me.
How I Met Your Mother: Shelter Island (S04E05)
CBS
I’m sure there are those on both sides of the Stella-Ted debate, but whether you think the relationship is good or bad, you have to admit that Stella fits into the show so naturally, it almost feels like there’s no guest star at all. Recently, the HIMYM team has been throwing Stella negatives to the forefront for the obvious removal of her character from the show, which sucks. I was hoping she’d stick around somehow and maybe she will..
How I Met Your Mother: The World’s Best Burger (S04E02)
CBS
Great episode tonight. Barney introduced the Chinese-Indian-Mexican race and Lilly had her first Burgasm. Classic. Four seasons in, and HIMYM continues to top my list of favourite shows.
Also, did anyone else notice how short Regis is?
The Big Bang Theory: The Bad Fish Paradigm (S02E01)
CBS
Tonight was the official return of TV for me. Until the big shows come out, it’s just a warm-up for the main event. First up tonight was The Big Bang Theory’s second season launch.
And let me get this out of the way immediately. The whole Penny & Leoanard idea is just wrong. It makes me cringe because those two have no chemistry and no business being together. Leonard pining for Penny seemed more appropriate and worked well within the show. To me, Penny should have not have been pushed as a love interest but just as a foil for the general nerdiness of the boys.
Glad I got that out out. Tonight’s episode was full of Sheldon goodness.
Bones: The Pain in the Heart (S03E15 – Season Finale)
FOX
This show really isn’t afraid of doing what it wants.
Sometimes, shows become complacent and formulaic the point where it becomes a detriment. And, whether it works or not, you have to give credit to those shows that try and change things up once in a while.
Hart Hanson and the Bones crew definitely shook it up to finish up the shortened third season of Bones.
How I Met Your Mother: Miracles (S03E20 – Season Finale)
We’ve officially closed the chapter on the third season of How I Met Your Mother and it’s incredible how regularly this show manages to outwit other sitcoms. While tonight’s episode was was a plot-heavy one, there was still tonight’s gem: Barney’s Datetime Continuum.If that’s not enough to keep you reading, how about photo stills of every frame of Ted’s life-flash (including one that makes no sense!). Catch it along with the rest of the review after the click.
