The Office Review: "Suit Warehouse"

Jim is a nice guy, he is successful, he is happy, he
can do no wrong. Everybody else are idiots.
One funny joke, involving a Basketball and
fishtank.

Modern Family Review: Party Crasher

What a wonderful episode.  An all time classic, in fact
season four, would probably have to be my favorite
season so far of Modern Family.

Many highlights tonight.

Manny's first kiss, and the embarrassment of it, when
his family surprised him with his surprise birthday.

Cam being Jealous of Lilly's relationship with Mitch.

Gloria and Jay behaving badly with Gloria giving
birth at the end.

Despite all these big story lines, it was once again
Phil Dunphy and  Haley, Dad/Daughter moment that stole the episode.

The moment he gave back out of the elevator and
Haley heard how he really feels about her,  was
one of the sweetest moments Modern Family
has ever filmed and it had me in tears.

The laughs in this episode came from Phil's
strange sort of crush on Hermione  Granger
and Cam accidently injuring Lilly on several
occasions.

The scene when Phil with the shears about to
cut off Haley's boyfriend's hair was a fall out
of your chair moment it was so funny.

Glad to see Luke and Lilly are the now in
the same position with the new baby.

There is a reason why Modern Family
is fast becoming recognize as an all
time classic.

Everything from the acting to the writing
to the directing is honest and heartfelt.

10/10

The Office Review: "Lice"

The Office has only half a season left.

Tonight's episode was titled "Lice" it revolved around
everybody  mistakenly thinking Meredith bought lice
into the office (it was Pam).

The second story line was Darryl and Val breaking up
then getting back together.

The third story line, was Jim, as usual being awesome
and everybody loving what he does (this time it was DrJ's
turn.)

They might as well rename this final season, "Everybody Loves
Jim" because he can do no wrong and in terms of great
television, it's getting old.

This is been my bug bear with the show in the past, I only
hope the writers don't make it all about Jim for the last
episodes.

Anyway, tonight belonged to Meredith and Dwight, the visual
jokes of the Lice bomb worked, and Meredith gesture at
the end was great.

Nice side story with Erin and Pete, but Jim being great all
the time is dragging this last season down.

Still an episode worth watching.

Modern Family Review: "New Years Eve"

A funny sincere way for the second part of season four
to start.

I was going through, Modern family withdrawal symptoms,
but its back underway for 2013.

I could go through all the different story lines for tonight's episode,
but for me they were all overshadowed, by Haley being mature and
caring for Luke, she and Alex were in charged of looking after
Lily, Manny and Luke, and when Luke who is now 14, bought
a girl over and went up to his room to make out with her, Haley
was shocked.

At first, her and Alex, didnt know how to handle it, but with maturity
she played the part of a mother and told the girl to get out or she
will call the girls mother.

Haley and Alex then looked at each other, and came to
agreement, that they don't want their little brother to grow
up yet.

Very sweet moment, the end was classic, when midnight struck,
they toasted each other, but then swapped drinks, because Alex's
one had alcohol  in it.

Beautiful episode.

How disgusting, the poor poor woman, do

Homeland Review: "The Choice"

On the road again, Brody has gone on the road again,
he cant wait to clear his name again.

What a season finale, I'm finally turning into a, hey Brody
is actually innocent person.

Many highlights of tonight's finale for season two.

Quinn's line, "Im the guy that kills bad guys" was classic.

Saul's "Your the dumbest and smartest fuckin person I know"
was also brilliant.

To recap, massive terrorist attack at Walden's funeral, the bomb
was in Brody's car, everybody thinks he's a terrorist.

Carrie was going to send the rest of her life with him, but she
has now helped him get to Canada, while she stays behind in
the USA to clear his name.

Which will be hard, because even his kids believes he did,
after the bad guys released that video he did.

So where are we?? Well Brody is on the run and only Saul
and Carrie believe he is innocent. Well maybe Saul does, and
then there's also Quinn.

A brilliant final episode for season two, did not expect the attack.

I only have one thing left to say...

Roll on season 3!!!

Modern Family Review: Diamond in the Rough

Another Homer Run for Modern Family.

10/10.

This week's episode revolved around Cam and
Claire wanting wanting to go in and buy a house and
flip it, while Mitch and Phil were against it, and Phil
let Mitch be the bad guy.

Side storylines was Manny and Luke's baseball team
in the playoffs, and Gloria singing badly to her unborn
baby.

I like the way the txt's between Phil and Mitch  were
actually group txt's that everybody received.

I also like the way, Mitch and Phil blackmailed
each other.

As always with Modern Family, they got it sorted out,
they got the house, Manny got hit with a baseball, thus
giving his team the win, and Jay got into the groove of
talking to his unborn baby.

The best lines were...


Claire: Ive made choclate chip pancakes
hayley: im not 12
Phil: dibs on hers.

Luke: will you chock up a little
Manny: probably when they play the national anthem

Jay: Papa will buy ten diamond rings to get the mocking bird to
shut the hell up

Cam: I picked blue to match your eyes,  i shouldve pick
black to match your heart, although you look good in black,
Love you.

Jay: I will talk to you in the morning. (talking to his unborn
baby, while Gloria was asleep)

Homeland Review: "In Memoriam"

(update, it would appear several bloggers
including myself fell for a prank on wiki,
the title of last nights episode was not,
The mf with a turban, I guess further 
research would've shown this, I will
know next time, and I'm glad, I'm
not the only blogger that fell for it)


Ding Dong Abu Nazir is dead, the
wicked old Abu, the wicked old
Abu, ding dong, Abu is dead.

Guess who got killed off in the latest
episode of Homeland.

Yes, Abu Nazir.

The episode was titled, "The Motherfucker
with a Turban"

Probably the first time those words have been
used for a title of a episode of a show.

Abu Nazir killed himself, when caught by
the military team.

So what did that mean for Brody, Carrie and
Brody's family.

Well they think its all over.

Brody has gone to be with Carrie, Jessica can
be with Diego, and of course Roya is up to
no good.

I do not believe Brody will be taken out, to
clean things up for the CIA, I believe Saul
will save the day.

Roll on the next episode.

I cant wait.

The Office Review: Dwight Christmas

Really?

The office last xmas special disappointed big time.

Over nine years, they have told the same story.

Ya don't have to keep showing us this.

JGeeks and TVNZ should be up for Fraud?

I don't follow pop culture, and it would seem this
was kept very very quiet by TVNZ and the boy group
Jgeeks.

Recently New Zealand just had our version of New Zealand's
got talent, it was billed as people who were unknown getting
their break in the industry.

The winner was Clara Van Wel, she deserved it, the pint
size singer/songwriter had New Zealand in tears with her
beautiful song.

In fourth place was Jgeeks, a boy band come dance group,
come comedians.

Throughout the series they were billed as unknowns.

But that couldnt be further from the truth.

In the past three years, according to "throng"
they have received nearly $40 thousand dollars
in funding from NZ on air, they've had a youtube
video with five million hits, they have been in talks
with tv3 for 18 months for a show, and have numerous
appearances thruout the country.

Yet the  general public wasn't told this, their fanbase
obviously knew.

The contract for the contestants clearly stated, they
had to let the producers know if they had any
previous funding, I'm guessing they did, but TVNZ
turned a blind eye.

I wasn't going to do this post, but after all the racist
hatred the fans of Jgeeks did towards, Clara on
facebook and twitter, I thought it would be best
to get the truth out there.

Here's hoping the media will report on this, so
it doesn't happen again.

Time will tell.

Clara Van Wel Wins NZ's got Talent

Congrats to Clara Van Wel for winning New Zealand's
got talent. She deserves it, she is a wonderful songwriter,
a wonderful singer and a wonderful, shy, sweet person
who is genuine and she is only 15 years old.

She beat fellow contestants, Evan and Jesse.

These reality shows can sometimes produce Bizarre
results, with sometimes the best act losing.

Not this time though, Clara was the most consistent,
she bought her A game every night and the crowd
and the judges and the voters of New Zealand
appreciated it.

Here's hoping she has a long and successful career,
as I'm sure she will.

Well done again to young Clara.

The Office Review: "The Target"

10/10

Best episode of the season, one of the most
serious episodes since season 2, and extremely
funny.

The two sub stories were funny, one the office
building a tower out of all the customer complaint
cards, and the other Jim buying Phyllis and Stanley
dinner so they would agree to cover for him, when
he is out of he office on his new business adventure.

The main storyline had heart, Angela wanted Dwight
to hire someone to physically assault the person who
had an affair with her husband (Dwight didnt know it was
Oscar at first) when Dwight found out, he stepped in and
stopped it, and then comforted Angela.

This episode showed  the true feelings these people
have for each other after being co workers for nine
years. With Dwight helping out, Phyllis and Stanley
agreeing to help Jim, and everybody cheering on Pam.

It would appear Erin has a thing for newbie.

Brilliant episode, comedy highlight of it, belongs
to Meredith, with just one word.

Yatezh!

Modern Family Review: "When a Tree Falls"

Yet again, Modern Family proves itself, the best comedy
on television, with plenty of huge laughs along the way.

The storyline revolved around, Claire and Gloria shopping,
Jay and Phil taking Many and Luke to a friend's party, Cam and
Mitch trying to save a tree from getting chopped down.

My favorite storyline though was Alex, trying for revenge against
her sister, by taking  a picture of her picking up trash during
her community service.

The picture of Haley's mug shot alone, made watching this
episode worth while.

I do hope they're going to do more with Alex, she a complex
character, who needs to be explored more deeply.

Phil beating up Jay with the oversize boxing gloves  was
another highlight.

Well done for another brilliant episode.

8/10

The Office Review: "The Boat"

I've been loving this season of The Office, it's 1000%
better than last season.

Tonight's episode though, was terrible, in fact I would
have to say it was my least favorite episode of the entire
run of the office.

Why the hell are they making Dwight so dumb, I know
a lot of the humor revolves around Jim getting one up
on Dwight, but for pete's sake, they shouldn't have to
dumb Dwight down for this.

The Office is suppose to be a mock Doco, tonight's
episode was all that was bad about television.

As for Kevin's character, I mean seriously, he is
going to be that childish?

This season has been brilliant, but tonight's episode
was just showing competent to the fans.

0/10.

Modern Family Review: "Arrested"

Another brilliant episode of Modern Family, which
had a big plot point for the rest of the season.

The episode revolved about Haley underage drinking
at her college and accidently assaulting a policeman, Jay's
first wife coming for a visit, and Luke having an allergic
reaction to some soy Bacon.

The main story line belonged to Haley, and was quite
significant for a couple of reason, we saw real angry
from Phil at his daughter's reaction, and the look of
admiration from Claire was perfect, the episode
saw Haley admitting what she did, but getting kicked
out of college for it.

The DeeDee storyline did nothing for me, but Alex
was cute when she answered the questions for the
student doctors.

The best lines were...

She's got a daughter  behnind bars and im a bad parent (Cam)

Take a lot of cash, and when you flash it to the police, dont say anything, let the
eyes do the talking. (Gloria)

Its not real bacon its fockin (Cam)
Its fockin disgusting (Mitch)

Im living in a cultrual waste land (Manny)
With a heated pool (Jay)


Hayley this is real life, not a excellent movie (Phil, a reference to clueless)

What does this do (Lily)
 I don't know, but  thanks to Obama, your  paying for it (Luke)

Overall 8/10.

I had thought of doing a post about Ariel Winter's situation
in real life, but she is 14, and I'm glad she is now, somewhere
safe, and the last thing she needs is the media/bloggers giving
all the details.

Here's hoping it will work out for her.

Time will tell.

Update: (This story is sad and is getting get worse for Ariel, thoughts
with her, imho she has so done the right thing)

Homeland Review "Gettysburg"

Brilliant episode, I like how Homeland
is a smart drama, that is very very tense
indeed, and all of a sudden, they go postal,
and going postal only works in television when
you least expect it.

First off the Dana storyline, as someone pointed
out, yes she is by far a better character than 24's
Kim Bauer, and I don't think they will make her
character part of the terrorism storyline, it seems
though she may be living in fear of her boyfriend,
(the vice president's son) in future episodes, here's
hoping  they don't really play this storyline up, it's
a bit disturbing watching a young teenager get
bullied.

Anyway, I thought  something would be found by
the special operations team at the shop, but I never
could guess, it would end up being total carnage,
with seven members killed, or it would seem they
are all killed. Poor Quinn.

Excellent filming of the mass shooting scene, you didn't
expect it, at all.

Where Carrie mental state goes from here, and the
plot is beyond me, this is what makes Homeland so
great.

10/10
