Great News "The Red Door"/"Celebrity Hacking Scandal"

"The Red Door" 

When it comes to Carol and telling them not to do something, she does it anyway.

In this episode, Chuck asks Carol to go to his home and let the cable guy in to do some work and instructs her not to open the red door. Of course, we are all just wondering what is inside that door. Carol tries to do her best; even looking at Portia's hacked emails helped a little until when the cable guy left and shut the door, all of a sudden, the red door opened.

Carol looks in and sees Chuck, but as she talks to him, apparently Chuck loses his head, literally, and she runs screaming. She tells Chuck what didn't happen, but he realizes she opened it and looks. Chuck tells a story about how he was once going to be lead anchor at Nightly News and was such a big shot that he had a wax figure of himself put up (which is what Carol saw), but all things come to an end when he gets a call that he was passed over and they took his wax figure. The only two people who care about their wax figure are Chuck and Scott Baio. Chuck asked Carol to take the wax figure and dump it in the garbage.

In the meantime, Portia informs the staff that her computer was hacked, and everything from photos to emails is shared on the internet. Katie and Greg do their best not to look into it, but they do and read Portia's email saying that Katie and Greg were boning each other. It got into their heads that everyone must think they're a couple, but no one believes it.

One of the funniest scenes came when they try to explain that they're not a couple, but they could be, and Beth tells Greg that she thought he said to her that he had no gentles, for which he defines that he had and still kept saying he has gentles to Katie and she tells him that it's creepy to keep repeating it.

The two show the staff the email, and soon, Portia comes in pretty mad about it.  But she clears that email up, telling everyone that she thinks that Katie and Greg are dull and blames auto-correct for it. Soon, the camera guy runs in, saying that Chuck is on the roof and thinks he might jump. Everyone rushes outside, and Carol wonders and soon discovers the wax figure of Chuck that she placed on the roof. She runs to Chuck and tells him, and they rush up. Soon, Katie., goes up there, and as they talk it out, she tries to move the figure away from the edge, but it falls over and lands in the parking lot. Everyone was relieved and upset.

"The Red Door" was not its best episode, but had some hilarious moments. Watching Katie and Greg try to make a point that even though they are not together, they could be. Also, that scene with Beth telling Greg that he told her he had no gentles was hilarious. Also, just watching Andrea Martin and John Michael Higgins in this episode was funny, too, and draws some excellent chemistry. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

"Celebrity Hacking Scandal"  

Who can deliver, and who can not? Carol wants to move up in the news business, while Katie thinks she has the story of the century.

"Celebrity Hacking Scandal" stood out pretty well, with Carol trying to help produce a story for Portia. At the same time, Katie thinks she has the story of the century about the hacking of celebrity photos and other stuff.

When Katie tells Greg about it, he doesn't think she has something, and when Katie investigates why he gives her a hard time on this, she finds out that Greg once had a big scoop on the Loch Ness Monster, but it turns out nothing. But Katie has the source, who turns out to be an 11-year-old who did it, but it all led up to the online game Biscuits Blitz that's very popular.

Speaking of famous, Chuck and Portia fight over each other roles and spaces. Portia gets Chuck to play Biscuits Blitz, who gets addicted because he wants to get in touch with the younger people. But the scene with Chuck and Portia arguing was a hilarious part of the episode.

I enjoyed this episode, mostly watching Higgins and Richie go at it at times, as the two are hilarious. I was watching Greg and Katie go at it again. It is pretty good. I thought the writing was pretty good. Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch the season finale of Great News on Tuesday, May 23, at an earlier time, 8/7c before The Voice Finale on NBC.
