Always & Forever: Parenthood "May God Bless and Keep You Always"

Just six years ago, we were introduced to the Bravermans and now we say goodbye, as tonight was the series finale of Parenthood and the whole meaning of this series is staying together.

The wedding is being planned out with Amber, Camille and Sarah. Things at Amber's apartment is a bit crowed with all that baby stuff. In the meantime, Hank goes over to see Zeek and ask for his blessing to marry his favorite daughter. Of course, he accepts.

If you think I started crying after that, NOT! I started when the episode first started.

Later on Crosby and Jasmine comes by with gifts for Amber and Crosby tells her that the luncheonette is shutting down. Amber not to happy about it but she handled it.

As soon as Crosby got back to help Adam clear things out, Adam wants him to sign the last contract and then they'll be done. Tension between them comes in the air but it was gone by the time the wedding.

As the wedding was soon to be getting started Max takes everyone's photo. We have one of the best photo shoot scene ever on television. I bet that most of that was improv.

As we see Sarah walking down with Zeek, hands her to Hank, Zeek looks emotional as he walks to his seat and soon Sarah and Hank are married.

The party couldn't be any happier after crying for the first 25 minutes of the show. Crosby talks to Jasmine about him owning the Luncheonette, Camille and Zeek asking Amber to move in with them and even Max getting to dance with a girl that they both like.

As the wedding ends, we move ahead. Adam who we thought was going to get the job at the water company doesn't after Kristina offers Adam Head Master job at Chambers after seeing him cooking with the kids.

Amber is moved in with her grandparents.

But it was when we see Camille looking at Sarah's wedding photos. That's when she was talking to Zeek, until he never responded to her. She goes into the living room and well....he passed away in his sleep in his favorite chair.

The family celebrates his death with a game of baseball. It was the one thing that Zeek loved to do is to take his kids and grand kids to the ballpark. After each member dumps his ashes on the mound, they start playing baseball.

As we see them playing we see clips of each family's future. Joel and Julia not only adopted Victor's half-sister but they had another child. Crosby and Amber are doing well with the Luncheonette as the artists were recording "Forever Young" as it's playing during the montage.

Also Jasmine is expecting another child. Also we see Max graduate from Chambers and as Adam hands him his diploma, proud with the rest of the family cheering on.

And well Camille, she went to that cafe place in Italy, the place where Zeek was going to surprise her for their wedding anniversary.

As soon as the game was over, the family walks off heading home for what I think is another family dinner together.

I have't seen a finale this good since Friday Night Lights and ER. This was one of the best ever. I've loved this series from the beginning. This show was so original and keep true to real life storytelling.

Now, we have this show that will live forever as the Braverman family be. They may leave our TV screens, but they'll always and forever be in our hearts.

You can catch the series finale of Parenthood on nbc.com.

The Boyz and Gang: Tuesday Night Comedy Night

Parks and Recreations: "Grizzyl"/"Save JJ's"

As Leslie and Ben try to come up with a plan to complete with Grizzyl and get take the for sale park. When all of the sudden a droid comes knocking with a gift for Leslie. Creepy has it is for that to happen, it turns out that everyone in Pawnee was getting gifts from droids and that they were from Grizzyl.

Turns out that Grizzyl has been easy dropping on the phone calls, text messages and browser history and giving citizens what they want. Maybe this is what the CIA should be doing for all of us. There are a couple of things I would want right now.

So Leslie and the team try to find a way to stop them. As they took them to Perd's court tv show, Ron comes back to tell them that Grizzyl had gotten Ben to sign a contract with other small things that include easy dropping on the citizen's privacy.

April on the meantime was helping Craig to find a new intern for the parks department. Trying to scary away those that apply, she comes to terms and brought a lot more people to apply for the internship.

As soon as they did find it they tried to get a mistrail. After a tough day, Ben and Leslie talk and soon a knock at the door. It was Ron, in the rain with a broken droid because it came to delivery a gift for his four year old son, so he shot it and now wants to stick it to Grizzyl just like Leslie does.

As the next episode comes, the team comes together and think of a way to stop Grizzyl but another thing had take it's stop there and it was that the news of JJ's Diner was going to close. Leslie and Ron come together and have a rely save it.

Meanwhile it was one of the best moments of the episode and probably the last one. It's that time of the year...Treat Yo Self 2015!!! Tom and Donna went all out all the way to Beverly Hills.

Also with Lucy back and no broken up with her boyfriend in Chicago, Tom tries to go slowly and ask her out for Donna's wedding. They are now back together and are the it couple of the season, for me.

Later on, Leslie and Ron had a great idea and used it to get Grizzyl to take the abandoned south side area of Pawnee. They took it. And now things will get moving.

You can catch the farewell season of Parks and Recreation Tuesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Marry Me: "Friend Me" 

As the wedding is getting near, Anne has her bridemaids all picked up, all nine of them while Jake one has one. This made Anne sad and soon called up his old friends, the boyz to visit and have them as his best men.

Things take a tumble when the boyz take Jake out drinking and partying most of the week. It turns out that the boyz doesn't really like Jake marrying Anne. They think that she's not a right kind of person for him.

That turns Anne to go up against the boyz in a drinking game to see who knows Jake the best. Anne won of course and it turned out to be one hell of an episode.

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

About A Boy: "About A Hook"

When Mr. Chris comes to Fiona and Marcus's house often for some time together. Marcus throws a fit about him. He tells Fiona that he's boring and talks to much. He's showing what all boys go through if they don't like the person their parents are dating.

Meanwhile Will is trying to get that one hook for a song to give to that music producer so he can have another hit song. After him and Andy try to figure it out a song, Will gets a knock at the door which turned out to be Marcus.

Marcus wants to stay with Will until his mother stops seeing Chris. That was not cool with Will at all. Hearing words like sweaty bed and goodnight kiss. It was driving Will crazy.

Will talks to Fiona and he agree to get them together in a nurture place, a restaurant. It didn't go to well with Marcus again when Will and Chris got a long with football talk.

Marcus left and went to sleep in his treehouse. Will told him that his mother still cares for him and played the voice messages on his phone, about five maybe ten messages. Marcus forgave his mother and soon the words love bubble came to Will's mind and turns out to be a good song.

I think that Fiona will be getting half of that song's earnings. In the meantime, this episode was very good and I love how Marcus took the episode. Still Andy is hilarious as Will's best friend.

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

The One: Eye Candy "HBTU"

Tensions and relationships rises as the hunt for the stalker/serial killer is on. As Lindy and Tommy look for Reese in his apartment. A couple of manikins sitting on the couch holding a wine glass.

When Lindy walks and looks around, she walks into a bunch of hanging teeth, one by one on a wire hanging from the ceiling like a decoration, which scared the hell out of Lindy and also me too,  but it wasn't Reese, it was one of the missing person that Lindy was trying to help.

As this episode goes, we see a bit of sexual tension between Lindy and Tommy as each butt heads. Tommy get up tight at times but I know where he's coming at. When a friend of yours is dead, you try and take care of that friend's girlfriend. Even if there might be something cooking there.

Later on the in episode, Lindy gets a package from the killer as he was next door. The package was a photo of her and her sister, before she was kidnapped.

Freaking out, she talked to Catherine about the last time she saw her sister and about that photo. It was later on that the photo was a mixed of other photos mashed together which Tommy put together and found three other murders.

With the three murders there was a connection that Lindy found that they were both on flirtual, the online dating service. Both of them are killed for their own personal flaws, they each lie about their appearance.

One was killed with his eyes taken out, the other his finger tips cut off and the last was killed and had her breast implants ripped out. Lindy found out by going back to Reese's place that the killer was looking for perfection and also to finish as well.

It was later that evening, Lindy got the surprise by Sophia as she threw a surprise birthday party. Soon 

enough the guy that Lindy is trying to avoid is there with a gift, Jake, the suspect. But when Lindy starts to feel funny, Jake sits her down and gets her a glass a water and soon the fire alarm goes off when a fire was set in the bathroom.

That was the prefect distraction for the killer to came and take Lindy without anyone noticing. When Tommy got there, it was too late and arrested Jake but he was let go. Lindy on the other hand was taken to a place and saw the killer kill Reese, but not without leaving a present for her and that gift was the bracelet that she gave her sister.

With three episodes in this series is getting pretty thrilling and full of suspense. I like how there's that tension between Tommy and Lindy because as those two butt heads, I think that they might fall for each other soon.

You can catch "Eye Candy" Mondays at 10/9c on MTV.

Family of Love: Parenthood "We Made It Through the Night"

Well guys, we made it through the night with this episode that was yet again full of emotion, from the first five minutes to the the end and to the promo for next week's series finale. Does it feel surreal?

This week's episode deals with a few things that tie up a few things before the series finale. Joel and Julia are moving back, but before things could get back to normal, they have to come to terms that things have happen while they were separated, like Julia sleeping with people and well, Joel didn't.

After telling their kids that daddy's back, Victor asked if it was going to happen again. It almost did, during breakfast, when Julia got a phone call from her boss and former lover. They finally talked things out the way it should, talking about it into the car.

Folks must of been going nuts with Amber and when the baby would be born. It also kind of answered my question. With the word that a death in the family was going to happen, my thought that it was either going to be Zeek or the baby, in television things can happen.

But thank god, I was wrong and the baby boy was born. The sweetest thing that a grandchild can due was name her child after her own grandfather. One of the most beautiful scenes throughout the episode was Zeek holding Zeek and the face he gave, heartwarming.

Well, I guess it's bye bye, to the Luncheonette, again! As the two ere about to get things back over there, while waiting for the baby the first time, Jasmine and Kristina talked about the guys and their business. As Kristina is Kristina, she has a problem with it and it turns out into a whole argument that upset Crosby more for Jasmine to tell Adam about his problem.

Things to calm down for the two women. It didn't do well for Zeek as for the first time, he could go between the argument, His health as we can call see is turning worst. As we first see him and Camille walking up the hill near the bay waters, he finally told her that he doesn't wasn't the surgery.

There are many scenes that made it emotional, seeing Camille painting a portrait of Zeek, I call it "The Father." I think its a masterpiece. While he was sitting he told her that it was time to tell the kids and that he wanted to have a family dinner with just the six original Braverman family.

While their dinner, they talked about the funny times, until Adam and Crosby argued about something, once again and soon Zeek couldn't take it again and went into the other room to lay down. Sarah walks in and talks to him, one of the most beautiful scenes was when she told him that Hank proposal to her. The one thing that he said was that he can't wait to walk her down the aisle.

The one thing out of this episode that didn't feel like wasn't sad was when Adam and one of the kids at the Chambers school was doing a Career week and he asked him to teach him how to cook French.

Just to prove a point to Max after he gave his stats about students like him won't get jobs and be losers.

Well, they proved him wrong and both made a chocolate French cake. As we saw them filled with excitement, we can see the other students learning from the other teachers. Something that makes you feel good and not want to cry with sadness.

There was a moment that Kristina and Adam talked to Max about and it was how much his stat about him and the other kids won't get jobs. What they told him was what we all proud to gave seen in him and that was see him grow so, so much.

We can see things a tying up just a bit before next week. Every single moment is a tissue moment. As I tweeted out after the show, the time has come, to come together one last time, to celebrate as one big happy family.

You can catch the series finale of Parenthood next Thursday at 10/9c on NBC.

Any thoughts about last night's episode?

Returning to the Family: Chicago PD "Disco Bob"

I assume there will always be tension between veteran cops. In this week's episode of Chicago PD, we meet Ruzek's father, known to all as Disco Bob, an on-the-beat officer.

When a case of a murdered family is called, some tension between Bob and Voight still hangs from the past. As the team gets an observation of the crime scene, there seems to be a child that's missing from the group. Soon, the team finds a blood trail that leads to the basement and a handprint of the child.

The Voight and team go out to search for the father because, most of the time, it tends to be the father who causes these kinds of murders, right? The father's car was spotted and soon found him as he was doing a security installment job. As soon as the team found him,, hey took him to the house and questioned him.

Voight and Dawson are questioned non-stop about the father are questioned non-stop about the father. Things get challenging for the guy until he is let go. As they searched the background of the father and the victim, they had been having money trouble and that the victim was having a relationship with her boss at a low-rated newspaper.


As things heated up, Burgess and Roman, back in action, took to the streets to find the missing boy. As they found someone who knew the victim, they gave information about someone who knew them well. They stopped there and talked to the victim's friend.

That's when he told them that he might be at an abandoned house where he takes his sister and has some peace and quiet together and that sometimes he follows them. When Burgess and Roman get there, they see the basement door unlocked. As they go in, they find the boy, shot and barely alive.

How a kid who gets shothousemakes it all the way to that house is fantastic.

As soon as Voight and the team got the news, they waited until the boy got well to ask him questions about what the person looked like and looked at mugshots. When the kid saw one of the photos, he became reticent, but it was the guy.

They searched for and got him as soon as they got the name. They questioned him, and boy, did he talk.

This led to it not being the father's idea but the victim's friend, the father's daughter. He did it because her mother disapproved of him being her boyfriend.

Meanwhile, things got heated with Halstead and Linsey's relationship. The hashtag #SKINstead was trending on Twitter last night. They seem in love, but they want to take it slow. That's when we thought that Erin was going to be still working for the Feds.

But later, we find out that she has decided to come back home and be with her family where it matters instead of the crappy politics controlling.

Also, we learned about the beef between Voight and Disco Bob. Apparently, when Disco Bob kept calling Voight a dirty cop, things got heated after that.

After Ruzek learned about that, he talked to his father. His father told him that he didn't want his job controlling him and asked him why he kept the same job he's doing now...it was for him to be at his games, to take him to the movies, to be a father.

I thought that was really sweet. Things are getting back to normal right now.

The next episode will be after the Super Bowl when Fire and PD come together and get the guy responsible for killing Shay. If you haven't seen the video, check it on YouTube or nbc.com, or wait for it during the Super Bowl commercials. That would be sweet to see.

Batting Down the Hatches: Parks and Recreation"William Henry Harrison/Leslie and Ron"

If I had to call what last night's Parks and Recreation was all about in a couple of words it would be that this one hour would be called the Leslie and Ron Comedy Hour.

This week's episodes, we see Leslie and Ron are at each other's feet when it comes to getting the Newport park. Leslie wants a national park while Ron wants it to be commercial business. All of this feud seems to be from project Morningstar.



In the first episode, Leslie is trying to get proof that Newport park has interesting historical facts that would draw people to come, while Ron brought in a popular star who makes milk out of beef. These feud is drawing a lot of tension between Ben and the others.

This was when Ben had to go back and forth getting Leslie and Ron's signature with Terry. I think going anywhere with Terry would be the worst thing in the world.

But it was at that point that Ben and the gang decided to do a some kind of intervention. They brought Leslie and Ron into the old Park's office and locked them up for the next 12 hours, as they want them to forgive each other.



It was one of the best damn episodes so far. I love anything that has Leslie and Ron in a scene or an episode, let alone have a bottle episode was outstanding.

We see Leslie trying t figure it out, while Ron doesn't want to do anything. We hear from both sides of the story of what went down and when Ron finally talked about it, it was one of the best emotional scene since Ben asked Leslie to marry him.

After that it was back to fun city with Leslie and Ron and they are back being the best of friends, mentor and mentee.

You can catch the final season of Parks and Recreation Tuesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Tension and Suspense: State of Affairs "Cry Havoc"

Tonight's episode of "State of Affairs" has shown a lot of growth from the Pilot to now. This series has really taken on some really thrilling and suspenseful stories that just have me on the edge of my seat.

In "Cry Havoc"  we see the terrorist suspect, who is a young American college student, leaving her one night stand and goes back to her place and then takes off. She heads to a resident's home and soon blows up the yard and near the house.

Then we turn up a couple of hours before that event happen and Charlie gets the phone call about the suspect that they are after. Soon her and her team learn that the FBI won't go and take her in because of a speculations of the suspect.

Soon, Charlie, who is back briefing POTUS, goes in to inform her what the situation is with the events that are going on. Soon, we get into more about the events that took Charlie's fiance and the President's son. Who's the one who took the photo and sharing it. The President talks to Charlie if she trusts her team

Charlie's team get polygraph. Lucas is not in a stable condition with his alcoholism, Mo is nervous do to the fact that she slept with Lucas  a couple of times, But the one that lied his way through a perfect score and not lying was Kurt. He was the one who was sending Charlie messages that she should come clean about it.

With a report about the events that took the life the President's son, two senators were about to use it for leverage. But that didn't go, because by the time Charlie's boss was talking to one of the senators at a safe house, which didn't turnout to be safe until that girl comes and blows it up.

Meanwhile Nick has been traveling around the world somehow, but we do get to the bottom of their asset if he betrayed them or not. He didn't and helped Charlie nail all the students and others who were getting information to blow stuff up.

As I said before this show has really grown to be an great show. Charlie has gone through so much from where we first saw her in the pilot. I'm really enjoying the conflict between the President and the First Husband. Things get even better when next week's episode comes.

You can catch State of Affairs Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

You can catch recaps and others here or on The Quiet Corner.
