Imagine that: Slightly peppier music, storylines crossing -- or attempting to -- and what appears to be Hayden Panettiere's actual hair. Nashville, are you feeling okay? Because you're not acting like yourself. We open with Rayna and Luke doing a publicity shoot for a story about their engagement.

This show is the Jacuzzi of television. I don't care where it is or what it looks like; as soon as I get in, it's just full-on soothing. I think the reason the Kalinda/Crazy Mr. Kalinda storyline of yore still grates like a block

Here is how I feel about this episode. So much squandered potential. And when you're a show that was a MAJOR longshot to even GET a third season, you should find all the stops and not so much pull them out as EXPLODE THEM. For about the first

Why didn't you guys tell me this show is laugh-out-loud funny?! Even when it's about the plague! Oh, yeah, the plague is in town. See? Look at all these dead people! When that priest turns around, by the way, his face is all Bubonic

Well, this show took a nosedive in quality. I thought this hour was a hot mess. While I can't pretend to know all the ins and outs of the legal world, or the courtroom, I have watched a lot of The Good Wife, so I plan to object

Sometimes Scandal gets all hot for its own cuteness. And this week, in the midst of a montage about Mellie, we got this graphical collage of bad headlines: And, real talk, I would watch the hell out of that if Shondaland produced Mental Mellie and slid it into the 8

We have a lot of special entrants this week, and then a flurry of hotness at the end thanks to an injection of Taye Diggs. Yes, Taye Diggs and Lemond Bishop in the same hour of TV. We may all short-circuit. Number Five will be SUPER alive. 13. Lorraine

This episode had an embedded gimmick: three live performances. And for my money, they TOTALLY BLEW this opportunity to get people talking. Remember how vibrant Gunnar, Avery, and Zoey were as a trio, and when Deacon joined them? Remember how moving and lovely it is whenever Lennon Stella sings anything

Or as I call this show, Pretty Little Lawyers. Why? Because it feels EXACTLY like embattled ABC chief Paul Lee taking his biggest hit at ABC Family and greenlighting a grown-up version. Right down to the cluster of liars being at the mercy of a person whose initial is

The short recap is: The awesomeness of Abby's hair is inversely proportionate to the impassioned grey turf that's been implanted on Cyrus's head, Mellie is handling her grief with Ugg Boots, and Olivia's wine habit finally came back to bite her (but

Sorry so tardy, but I had screengrab issues for a while with this one. Hopefully in future I can get this to you quickly, assuming the episodes are posted online fast enough (Hulu only has old seasons, CBS made it as hard as possible to stream it... le sigh). But

Well, here it is, AT LONG LAST, the final episode of I Wanna Marry Harry, which should have been called, Let's Be Honest, I Am Mostly Just Bang-Starved. There are some surprises, there is some attempted treachery, there is tongue, there are tears, there is the hasty

Fug Nation, I wish I could embed a clip of this episode's final scene, because it is almost completely faked. Carefully, half-artfully, but wholly faked. Because, you see, Rose figures out that this is not Prince Harry. Why? In part, because they all got drunk at a

May I please share with you the prop that is the greatest metaphor for this show? Here is the dirty secret about I Wanna Canoe Hell River: It turned out to be well-cast, on the lady side. This doesn't save the inherent meanness of it, but all

With apologies to those of you who actually mind that this has taken me so long: Our patience is rewarded by truly awful production decisions, Kelley being nuts, and Kingsley being stuck holding the douche bag. A note: I know this is super lame, because "I" "Wanna&
