The Men and Honor: Tuesday Night Comedy & Drama




Undateable "A Live Show Walking Into the Bar" 

ER, The West Wing, Will & Grace, 30 Rock, and now Undateable is part of the history of shows to do a live episode. But it was a first for a sitcom to air a whole hour's worth, and it wasn't a disappointing hour.

Justin, still upset about his ex-girlfriend getting married, outcomes in Amanda (Victoria Justice), and soon he and Henny fight over each other to go out with her. Plus, Candice tries to stand her ground on her ex-boyfriend. 

It was one of the most hilarious episodes in a long time. I think they surpassed the number of guest stars that 30 Rock has had. Not only Justice makes a camo, but Ed Sheeran, Zach Braff, Donald Fusion, Kate Walsh, Minnie Driver, Christa Miller, Scott Foley, and many, many more. 

There are significant insult bits between Danny and Justin. Even when Danny acted like a wombat over Justin to prove he couldn't get Amanda to go out with him. It was soon that Danny would walk and sound like a wombat which also meant that he pretended to throw poop at Justin, not once but twice. 

There were great moments, like seeing Braff and Fusion together again. Ed is performing, but Justin kicks him out; I didn't realize. Ed got upset, and soon, Ed fans came out and slapped Justin for what he did to Ed.

But it was seeing Justice and Bridgit together and singing the song "Undateable" at the end, which was just amazing. 

This episode did have an arc to it that will be discussed in next week's episode: Candice might have feelings for Justin. Uh oh!!!

You can catch the one-hour season finale of Undateable next Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.


Chicago Fire "Category 5"

This week's episode of Chicago Fire deals with an accusation of a Squad member ducking during a call. That has gotten a separation between both Truck and Squad.  

With Otis's accusation about Rice ducking during a season, Severide isn't too pleased about what's been going on. Later, things became the way it was when we first saw this group of firefighters after the death of their own. 

There was a separation between them that you see in high school. But I think that after Severide and Casey talked to Boden about it, it didn't quite go as it did under Casey's view when Severide agreed that he should take more control of it. 

Boden did get to talk to Otis about it but asked him if he needed a vacation. Otis tells him no, but then Boden lets him have it with him having a gut feeling about a firefighter ducking calls.

Severide did confront Rice about it, and now that friendship between them is gone.

In the meantime, Casey gets a gift from Jake, who hopes he returns and agrees to do some business. The best gift came when Voight stopped by to ask Casey for help to get some information about Jake. Voight has info that Jake is in some illegal trafficking. 

At first, Casey was like, hell no, but after Dawson talked to him about it. He agrees, and I hope to let the past be the past between Voight and him. 

Just as he agrees, he takes a cell phone that Mouse gives him, and as soon he sees one of Jake's girls with a worried look. Casey sees Jake and is introduced to the guys. But before any talks, one guy asks to see his cell phone, which goes black screen. 

Next week is the season finale of Chicago Fire, which is the one not to miss. From what the promo shows, it will be a jaw-dropping episode. I don't think anyone will die because that's what one of the producers said in an interview.

You can catch the season finale of Chicago Fire next Tuesday at 10/9c on NBC.
