Again....a really lame week. A football game put CBS's Monday Night Line-Up in repeats (which is just kind of cruel to do after last week's How I Met Your Mother). NBC and FOX are still on hiatus, so all I really had was ABC's wednesday comedies. So of course Obama preempted Cougar Town. The variety- type shows I watch were still all on (The Daily Show, Tosh.0, and The Soup) but reviewing those just feels aimless. So...here's a really lame score roundup for a really lame week for the middle of January:
Modern Family: "Our Children, Ourselves"- A fine episode. The Phil and Claire storyline was definitely the strongest of the episode, even if we had no idea where it was going halfway through, the end was worth it (I totally used to do that jaw thing, by the way). The Gloria/Jay storyline was yet another 'Jay gets cranky and does something nobody would really do unless they hated people, unforeseen circumstance intervenes, hilarious awkwardness ensues. I mean, in terms of repeated storylines, it's not as bad as The Big Bang Theory 'The group tries to do something but Sheldon proves to be a roadblock' yet, but it's getting there. 8.8/10
Yep, that's really it. Things are looking up for this week, though. We'll get to see if How I Met Your Mother handles the cliffhanger in a non- cringeworthy manner. Chuck will air its first episode since November. Raising Hope comes back, a show that appeared to be nearing a stride before it went on hiatus. Cougar Town will (hopefully) not be pre- empted this week. Community will return, as will 30 Rock. Parks and Recreation has its Season 3 premier Thursday in the cushy post- Office timeslot. Fringe will air its first Friday episode, hilariously (and perhaps a little bitterly) titled "Firefly". It should be a good week.
