Words with Different Meaning: Tuesday Night Comedies and Drama



Marry Me: "F Me"

This week's episode brings Annie and Jake into a situation that deals with using an offensive word on a flyer in their building. When they come to their apartment drunk, they see a flyer that says Art Show, in which Jake gets a marker from Annie and puts the letter F in front of the art. 

The next day, Julie, played by Jessica St. Clair, freaks out about someone writing F in the art show flyer. So she gets the apartment renters and tries to figure out who did it. 

When Annie and Jake get to the meeting, many people are upset. After that, they sneak out quickly and quietly and figure out what to do. Jake couldn't handle the pressure, but Annie blamed it on someone else. So she wrote on their door and blamed it on someone. 

Later on, after Julie told them that they got the person, Annie felt pretty guilty about it, and they both tried to plead and confess their action. But Julie declined their apology as they wanted that guy they thought wrote on Anne's door to go. 

In the meantime, with the wedding coming, an issue came forth when everyone who sent invitations out replied, all of them. So that leads one plus couple to arrive. So it was like Hunger Games meets the Dating Game (think about that Bravo!).

Gil and Dennah fight for that last spot; in the end, they lose and give it to Kay, who is in a relationship. 

This episode was hilarious and clever. I love watching Anne and Jake get into situations like this; it's funny. It reminds me of watching Jamie and Paul on Mad About You.

You can catch Marry Me on Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.



About A Boy: "About A Prostitute" 

In the opposite style of Pretty Woman with a bit of Mean Girls, this episode takes on when Will needs to make money. So when there are jobs that are looking for experience, he gets an idea from Marcus and Fiona about teaching students how to play the guitar.

So when he puts a flyer at Marcus's school, a mother notices and decides to take his offer to teach her daughter. So after one session, Will and the mother go at it and have sex after she pays him a big wad of cash.

When Will came by the next day, her daughter was at her father's, so once again, they had sex, and he got paid for it. Andy tells Will that he's a male prostitute. That idea going into Will's head, the mother asked him to go on a date to the school's fundraiser and had him sign to be auctioned off until she bit $2,000 on Will.

But everything wasn't what it seemed when he told her he was not a male prostitute, and she got upset and told him that she was doing this to upset her ex-husband.    

Meanwhile, Fiona is dealing with the pressures of PTA mothers. Think of it as Mean Girls meets perfection mothers. Fiona got to hang out with them and be one of the girls until they rejected Marcus's request to dance to Cuban Beat.

In the end, Fiona senses that she's not one of them after he makes fun of Will and that mother's ideal of spending on love.

This was an enjoyable episode. I love that this theme was like Pretty Woman meets Mean Girls. It was just hilarious.

You can catch About A Boy on Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30 on NBC. 



Chicago Fire: "Three Bells"

This is the epic episode that we've been waiting for, well, since three weeks ago. Last time, Severide and Dawson looked into the warehouse fire where Shay was killed because of a similar fire, but a newspaper clipping with Shay's face circled was found.

Ultimately, they found evidence that the warehouse where Shay died was arson and that she was murdered. Severide and Dawson took the evidence that they found to the Captain. She didn't like it when they didn't take any photos of the scene, but she took them and reported it.

Later on, Severide finds out that the arsonist is responsible for multiple kills. Afterward, the captain asked the warehouse owner, looking through photos of the suspects until he found the guy.

Before this, Severide got a tip from Hadley, the arson who caused fires last season, who wanted to talk to Severide. Hadley tells him that a guy has been sending him a note and a return address that turned out to be the address of a fire that killed Mil's dad.

The Captain talks to Severide and gives him info about the suspect. He lives near where they happen. The creepiest scene was when he walked over and talked to them about the fire. Speaking to Severide directly, he talked about how sorry he was to hear about his friend dying of a fire.

While this was happening, Shay's sister, Meg, came by with resentment of what Shay did on the job. Meg stays with Dawson and Britt; soon, she rides along with Britt and Mils. They get a call when a guy goes crazy, yelling at police and almost attacking Britt with a knife.

After that, Meg knows what Shay went through every day. Shay was that person who wanted to make you feel good, laughing up and not worrying about her and her job.

One of the most emotional moments came when, after Meg and Herrmann talked, everyone at House 51 gave a proper memorial for Shay. Dawson gave a few words that not only Meg and Severide but also Casey. The most powerful moment came when Severide removed the sheet from the ambulance door, and it had Leslie Shay's full name with her time on earth.

There were the lighter moments when Otis's grandmother came to live with him and Cruz. That freaked Cruz out. The best part was when Cruz and Britt celebrated their three-month anniversary and skipped the movie part. Just go to the end credits, and Otis's grandmother knits with a smile.

After the memorial service, Casey and Dawson talked, and they seemed to be okay, but they agreed to go on a break for a while. In the meantime, as everyone met up at Molly's Bar, the captain told Severide and Dawson that they weren't pursuing the suspect right now. They don't have enough evidence to bring him in.

So, if all else fails, will you call when something doesn't stick on a suspect? That's correct, Chicago PD. Dawson calls her brother for help, and that's where we leave until Wednesday night.

Any thoughts?

You can catch the Chicago Fire on Tuesday nights at 10/9c, and you can see the epic concussion TONIGHT at 10/9c on NBC.
