COUGAR TOWN: Once again this show out-funnies TWO BROKE GIRLS as COUGAR
TOWN's dumb white girl with a baby is funny without being over the top.
Meanwhile, Lori's cupcake business is cruising right along and we find out
her 'secret ingredient' is better than just using a combination of boxed
cake mix. I like that they worked the title card into the episode. Funny
episode.
GLEE: the show takes an odd plot twist for their latest 'public service
message' by using the Beiste as target practice. Meanwhile, Kurt proves
that he is 'Not The Boy' and Rachel turns to cutting herself (from the NYDA
option) as a method of self sabotage. Lots of Newport-y songs, but the best
tune (for me) of the night was Rachel Berry singing 'Cry' as it conveyed the
best character/emotion (but Kurt's Not The Boy Next Door was a close second)
and the iTunes folks liked 'Shake it Out' by Santana, Mercedes, and Tina
best. It was a shame that the show opened with the worst two songs of the
night. Good episode.
NEW GIRL: is everyone up for a rebound? Just Jess proposes marriage to her
date's girlfriend while Schmidt's wee willy winky continues to heal. Ho
hum.
THE L.A. COMPLEX: This episode focused on the wannabee rap star and I spent
the entire episode wondering when these guys were going to drop the pretense
and just get onto the 'down low'. Meanwhile, the comic was less annoying as
he did something other than comedy and the stripper did some romancing of
the male version of the Jewel Staite character. Meanwhile, the 'new girl'
uses her stripper outfit to land her first role. Seriously, are we supposed
to care if 'new girl' and 'guy with his own TV series' hook up? The show
also introduced a new hot girl in the form of the comic's female stand-in
counterpart. I'd like to see more of her. Bonus points go to this show for
taking the strip club slightly in the direction of stripping/prostitution
instead of just the typical TV bikini dance place.
BATTLEGROUND: 2 days before the election (so it is Halloween) and the
candidate's dishonesty seems to be a slight plus with voters (but not the
press)...as at least she isn't a homosexual. Meanwhile, the underlings have
to guard the bus so that it can be used as a mobile billboard. The lead
character thinks family is too important to take on a better job (how would
he switch to a new job 2 days before elections?), but fails to see his kids
on Halloween? What a putz.
