Wednesday Night Comedies: Premieres and Finales.

Melissa & Joey "Double Happiness" series finale

In the series finale of "Melissa & Joey, fear plays a role in everyone's decision making.

As Mel is about to run for Congress, she gets news that she's expecting. When her and Joey find out from the ultrasound, it turns out that they're expecting double, with twins. Fearing everything Mel freaks out also experiencing a weird dream that she's a Congresswoman who's super busy but she has to feed their eight kids.

Meanwhile, Joey, who acts all cool about, doesn't kind of think that it's cool and thinks over the same fear as Mel. But after having a talk, he talks to Mel after her nightmare about that fear is just the start of a new life and you have to run for it. That kind of help with Mel's decision to not run for Congress.

But just as Mel announces that she's not running, she changes her mind.

Also that Ryder is being placed in Virginia and Lennox and Marco are going to get married after their near death experience almost hitting the deer.

This finale felt like a real down to story telling finale. It might not be the greatest finale, but it does sure serve the propose that this family will keeping going in life even if fear does come, they'll still run even after the series ends.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10. It was very good and for someone who hasn't watched this series since the second season, it still was good.

Mr. Robinson "Pilot"/"Flesh for Fantasy"

I enjoy a good mix of comedy and music and what Mr. Robinson shows is that and a whole lot of laughs.

The series is about Craig Robinson, who's a musician who spots a familiar face...his former girlfriend from high school. He tries to get her back when he learns that she's teaching at the same high school they went to.
Craig subs for the week, but when he learns that Victoria has a boyfriend, even though he thought they had broken up, Craig to return the favor of dancing with her at the prom.

There's quite a lot of humor from any point of view, from the teachers to the principal that has an eye for Craig and the kids.

I can't get enough of the chemistry between Robinson and Peri Gilpin (Fraiser) as Principal Taylor. Hell, in the second episode she deals with an old flame that Craig's trying to get a record deal from and it doesn't turn out good for Taylor or Craig.

This is a really good show so far. The opening theme has that 70's style vibe and to me I just love that there's only at least a couple of songs and that there's more of the humor. I can't get "Chocolate Muffin" out of my head. It reminds me of "Muffin Top" from "30 Rock."

Overall I give the "Pilot" a 8/10 and "Flesh for Fantasy" a 8.5/10.

You can catch "Mr. Robinson" Wednesday nights at 9/8c after America's Got Talent on NBC
