Relationships were tested in tonight’s episode of Modern Family.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking, “What else is new?” But unlike previous spats triggered by miscommunication, Claire and Cam were upset with Phil and Mitch because they didn’t believe in them. The two men, who rarely see eye to eye, didn’t think their partners were capable of successfully flipping a house they had stumbled upon. They came to their senses once they saw the abandoned lot that Claire and Cam had transformed into a baseball field for Manny and Luke’s Little League playoffs and ultimately bought the house.

Here are tonight’s five best moments: READ FULL STORY »

'New Girl': All Wreaths, No Trees

Last episode before the new year, Newbies! Kinda makes me sad…. In any case, Winston served as the Greek chorus tonight — as well as Jess’s excuse to avoid happiness (or at least regular hook-ups). He also served up one of my few laugh-out-loud moments of the night. If his penchant for singing along to Wicked has shown us anything, it’s that Winston has a flair for the theatrical. In that respect, tonight was a smash. More on that later…

Back-tracking to Jess’s avoidance of an actual relationship, I’m of two minds: Of course the shipper in me thinks it’s all a time-killer until Nick is done with the stripper whose name I can’t be bothered to remember (Olivia Munn). On the flip side, the feminist in me thinks, Shouldn’t she get a little some-some while she’s waiting? Dilemmas, Newbies! While you ponder them, let’s get started.

What do we make of Barney these days, How I Met Your Mother fans? In just a few weeks he’s claimed to love Robin, rejected Robin, rejected a hot weather girl, and climbed his way into the arms of Robin’s suspiciously sweet co-worker Patrice. So…are these the actions of a crazy man? A hurt man? A crazy, hurt man? I’m not sure. But Ted had one theory, particularly about Barney’s new feeling toward Patrice: He was over-correcting.

What the hell is that, you ask? Well, in tonight’s episode, Ted explained that over-correcting is a reaction to great pain. In Barney’s case, after stripper Quinn failed to prove herself trustworthy, Barney has gone and found himself the opposite.

Robin had her own opinion: Barney was putting on a show/using Patrice! That wasn’t the case, of course, but she was determined to stop this friendship/relationship in its tracks. To do so, she set out to show Patrice the real Barneys. But to do so, Robin had to break into Barney’s apartment, find the Barney Bible (The “Playbook”), and show it to Patrice, who didn’t believe it existed. (WHY WON’T YOU LET ROBIN HELP YOU, PATRICE!)

On the heels of last week’s nude fest, tonight’s episode of The Big Bang Theory was pretty kinky.

We opened with an insightful conversation about Spider-Man‘s theme song, begging the question, can Spider-Man really do whatever a spider can? The boys part ways before Raj’s film festival on movies that kill their franchises. Howard goes to Bernadette’s parents’ house for dinner and Sheldon heads to Amy’s apartment to accompany her to a colleague’s memorial service. READ FULL STORY »

Liz Lemon tied the knot last week proving there’s hope for everyone in this strange world. So will she get pregnant with little Rufus T. Barleysheath before the series finale? Only time will tell. Until then, Lemon can bask in the glory of her 80 Under 80 award. While riding her marriage high, Ms. Elizabeth Lemon — she’s keeping her name — found out she’d been named one of the women in entertainment who aren’t Betty White. She was thrilled with the honor, particularly when she learned the ceremony would be broadcast on Lifetime.com/garbagefile.  READ FULL STORY »

'Supernatural' midseason finale recap: Trust issues

WARNING: If you haven’t watched this week’s midseason finale of Supernatural, don’t read on. Unless you want to. But consider yourself warned.

Is anyone else exhausted? I certainly am, and I place blame completely on Supernatural‘s midseason finale, which was emotionally draining — in all the right ways.

Of course, I expected that because I knew that this week’s episode marked the return of Dean’s Purgatory buddy Benny (Ty Olsson), whose arc this season has been a great source of high drama and emotional moments. (Remember the vampire pirate episode from a few week’s back? It was full of awesome.)

But while I have certainly sung Benny’s praises so arc this season, Sam has done quite the opposite, frequently playing hunters’ advocate when Dean tried to convince Sam that the vampire could be trusted. And this week, we learned Sam’s skepticism had hit new levels.

It was revealed that Sam had enlisted Martin “fresh from the crazy bin” Creaser follow the vampire and report any strange behavior. Understandably, Dean was less than happy to learn this news, but Sam was convinced he’d made the right decision, especially when Martin reported a death that looked to be the work of a vampire.

'New Girl': Taste the V

Our men were men last night, Newbies. Well, except for Winston — but who’s to say it’s not manly to enjoy pink wine that makes him “feel like [he's] a garden party, and [he hasn't] even left home”? Certainly not me. Also… am I crazy, or was busted, hungover, summer suit-wearing Schmidt the sexiest he’s ever looked? Also bringing the heat? Jake Johnson mid-makeout. I’m no fan of Olivia Munn, but if her presence means Nick gets to be more than a pile of turtle-faced grimaces and Andy Rooney tics, then by all means. And then there was Jess, whose descent into meth-od acting during a particularly harebrained scheme was the low point of the night. Onward… READ FULL STORY »

'How I Met Your Mother' recap: 'Dammit, Patrice!'

Robin desperately wanted something that she couldn’t have on tonight’s How I Met Your Mother — and I’m not talking about a big plate of lobster.

I’m talking about Barney, of course, the man who last week claimed he was done chasing Robin forever, which apparently made Robin want him more. Oye.

But according to Robin, her overwhelming need for Barney’s attention and affection did not stem from a deep-seeded love, she claimed it came from a weird, unfortunate desire to have something she was being denied. To combat this, she applied (flawed) logic: As with her lobster allergy, she thought if she had one last bite, she’d lose the craving. In this case, she needed one more night with Barney to officially get over him. READ FULL STORY »
