Score Roundup

How I Met Your Mother: "Unfinished"- 6.5/10- "Where's the poop?" has to be one of the show's poorest attempts at a catchphrase

Chuck: "Chuck vs the Cubic Z"- 8.4/10

The Event: "To Keep Us Safe"- 7.4/10- This show lies somewhere between intriguing and boring. Never one or the other.

No Ordinary Family: "No Ordinary Marriage"- 7.1/10- This episode seemed to repeat the following sequence many times: A family member would try something out with their powers. Another family member would tell them they shouldn't do that. The family member agrees but then does it again but gets hurt/messes up. The other family member then apologizes for being so hard on the other, but the person was hurt/messed up then apologizes. I honestly think that happened four times throughout the course of the episode.

Raising Hope: "Dream Hoarders"- Seems like I'm giving props to this show every week for a random thing that I appreciate, this weeks it's the use of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", both The Four Lads version and the They Might Be Giants version

Running Wilde: "Oil and Water"- 7.0/10 An improvement. One thing that kills a lot of the comedy for me is the fact that Puddle is the narrator. The actress is very good in her role, but doesn't have the comedic timing and tone that the narration requires. Also, the blatant KFC product placement was cringeworthy.

Modern Family: "Earthquake"- 9.1/10- Jay seemed out of character in this episode.

Community: "The Psychology of Letting Go"- 8.7/10- I'm very happy John Oliver is back. The best storyline of this week's episode was the death of Pierce's mother because it allowed for more of Pierce's amazingly ridiculous religion. Abed's storyline is a close second because it was just so amazing and subtle. In case you missed it (like I did my first time through this episode), if you look in the background of several scenes, you can see Abed befriend a pregnant women and eventually help her give birth in the parking lot).

30 Rock: "Let's Stay Together"- 8.5/10

Fringe: "The Plateau"- 9.7/10- Man, the alternate universe is cool...
