This episode was much better -- it felt like a step back to the Scandal of yore, albeit slightly marred by the fact that it's HARD to backtrack when just last week Huck was cutting the throat of a young woman so casually, for selfish motivations that he made

In which everyone gets a happy ending, and we have a brief O.C. reunion. Don't get too excited: It is NOT Adam Brody. Because this series finale needed some kind of dramatic narrative tension before we get to the crying and the kissing and the hugging and

View the gallery I was misinformed (by myself): Dame Joan Collins doesn't show up until NEXT week. While we wait, we have to deal with jokes about anal bleaching and Fashion Week as an aphrodisiac, plus a girl giving a dude a blow job WHILE SHE IS DRIVING.

THE ELECTION IS OVER, Finn appears, Diane kills, we have a West Wing cameo and related gaffe, and Lemond Bishop plummets in the standings. It's been a lackluster season of The Good Wife, and this episode wasn't much better, but at least it gave me Diane

I am going to miss this show very much. I thought this episode was one of the best of the entire run. It was funny (I laughed out loud more than once), emotional (I am fairly sure George Tucker's goodbye to BlueBell was really Scott Porter's

It's the Lena Dunham episode, ladies and gents, and it is all about the bang -- both the ones on her wig, and the sexual kind. Lena plays a brilliant former chemistry major turned ex-EPA employee who has decided to have kinky sex with all the Washington power

View the gallery The mess continues apace: I believe I counted seven "King/Queen of England" references in this one, plus some misogyny, a Posh Ex-Girlfriend and Someone With Secret Gun, a tray full of condoms and cocaine, and the WORST head of security in history. FIRE

Another mediocre episode this week, which took only baby steps toward any larger plot points, but DID at least see the return of Gary Cole. I will always welcome that scamp with open arms. Sorry this is so tardy -- between The Royals premiering and Fug Madness starting, The Good Wife

View the gallery We covered Cookie already, but given again that the finale is tonight -- and that I wish we'd been able to write about this wackfest all along -- I figured I'd provide some Best of the Rest grabs for your entertainment. And hey, if you

View the gallery The season finale of Empire is tonight. Although we haven't had the time or resources to recap it properly, we HAVE been screen-grabbing the wardrobe shenanigans of TV's newest and best heroine, Cookie Lyon. The show itself is much more entertaining than

View the gallery E!'s first foray into scripted series is imbued with slavish, documentary-style realism and an unwavering and sensitive commitment to factual... never mind, I can't say that without laughing. It's insane, and everyone in it is about as regal as a

In case you're wondering, "Diego Muñoz" is Huck's real name. And you're crazy if you didn't think I just sung to myself, of this noted deathmonger, "Where In The World Is Harmin' Man Diego?" Listen, I NEVER

As a kid, I loved this random Judy Blume book called Just As Long As We're Together (it's about coming of age, changing friendships, etc.), in which the main character Steph put a poster of Richard Gere over her bed -- she renamed him Benjamin Moore, after

This was quite an enjoyable episode, and it really had everything: babies, llamas, clowns, cars crashing into mobile spas, making out, ice cream cones, eye-patches, and, of course, Meatball. So, ToWanda have had their baby -- they named her Froda, presumably the feminine of "Frodo," which seems about

This episode, thematically, took on the maelstrom that was Ferguson. For recapping purposes I find it hard to weave in and out of that narrative while making capsy comments about Fitz's relative worstness and Cyrus's hair and whether people in the White House are stupid. So,
