Cuddle and Bundle: Friday Night Comedy




Undateable LIVE "A Truth Hug Walks Into a Bar"

When the truth comes out about Shelly's living situation, Justin intervenes and gets Danny to help.

Tonight's episode was good but it felt more like a regular episode, not a lot of guest but there were plenty of humor and a performance during the intro by Saint Motel. 

Throughout the episode each cast member was given each one a meaning of their names like Justining meaning ruining things, Brett making a small issue into a big and an emotional issue. And of course, Shelly's truth hug, which you should keep away from, soft and cuddly but deadly. 

I will say that Chris and Brett performed outstandingly in this episode. When Danny and Justin working together to tell Shelly what happen in the robbery. The two were just working off one another like butter. I enjoyed it very much.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Undateable LIVE Friday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Truth Be Told "Adult Content" 

Tonight's episode deals with lying and sharing. All of which seems hilarious in this episode.

When Russel has tickets to a porn award show and wants to invite Mitch and the guys to come. Mitch talks to Tracy about it and gets her approval. That's until the print on the invite that has an after party that gives Tracy some thoughts like did he lie to her about it.  And Angie gets upset with Russel when she's sees someone tweeting a pic of their boobs on to his twitter as she's on his account.

I don't think that Mitch lied to Tracy about the after party because if you go to an award show there is an after party. And I wouldn't want my significant other's password unless they want to tell me what it is. I respect that others need a bit of privacy (I know I'm a fool).

This episode was good. I can't get enough of this cast, both of them are just hilarious and have chemistry. I can't get enough of Lachey and Bell's characters along with Gosselaar and Webb.

My favorite scene in the episode was when Mitch gets a call from Tracy while he and the guys were having dinner. When he told her that he'll come home, Jim breaks down because Jim doesn't want to go home. Mitch lied and broke Jim .

Not to mention that at the end of the episode, when Angie and Russel were too busy to go to the awards, Mitch brought Tracy and the guys were freaked out about it until she starts yelling out "PORN PORN PORN!!!" which was hilarious as well.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Truth Be Told Friday nights at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

My Top 10 Michael Critchon Books



Today is Michael Crichton's birthday. He would have been 73 years old. He brought a lot to not only books the the entire entertainment industry from movies to television.

 The man was a thriller genius and a mastermind at that too.
He created my all time favorite television medical drama, ER.

The show changed the face of television on how characters and stories are told and not to mention how to keep the medicine real. Helping shows from House to Royal Pains are shows that have that realistic touch that Crichton help brought. And he did became a doctor before becoming a best selling author.


Along with television, I do have a ton of favorite books that Crichton wrote. Here's my top 10:

1. Jurassic Park
2. Prey
3. The Andromeda Strain
4. The Lost World
5. Congo
6. Disclosure
7. A Case in Need
8. Next
9. Mirco
10. Airframe

I do recommend you to check out one of these books and red them. Once you start reading one of them, you won't want to put the book down. Hell, I still read them whenever I have a chance.

Happy Birthday Mr. Crichton. We still miss you!

A Fantasy of Revenge: The Blacklist "The Djinn"





As Liz and Red still on the run, they're next blacklister to seek help is known as The Djinn. I'll say it again when it comes to watching The Blacklist, expect the unexpected.

Red and Liz seek the help for the Djinn, but they need Aram's help for that to happen. To see the Djinn, you have to go through a fantasy world to meet, give information and hope that she'll call and arrange an appointment. That so just happen for Liz.

Red has set up a plan to have a trace on Liz. When Liz gets a call from a hidden phone, the Djinn instructs her to follow the directions she gave. As Liz was on the move, cops came but they weren't for Liz, but soon she goes beyond the wall and goes into the potter potty and disappears.

Soon, Liz meets with the Djinn and they discuss what she wants for her fantasy. Liz tells her that she wants revenge but Djinn tells her that she sense that's not the case. But she wouldn't tell her and left, but not without putting the tracker on Djinn's shoe.

That help lead to where the Djinn lives, who turns out to be a wife and mother named Alice. But after having a nice little chat with Red, Alice isn't really the Djinn, but a fill in type. Very convincing I will say. Red asked for the real Djinn and in for exchange he'll help get her business going, doing what she's doing.

During the episode, Alice helped out a lady named Nasim, who has a fantasy of torching and killing her dad. Thinking that he had done something bad to her, totally went left field of not just why she wants him dead but her whole story. Nasim is the Djinn and when Red and Liz get there to seek a journal from her. We finally know her story or should I say his story.

Nasim was a gay boy who's father turned him into a girl. Boy, did that turn Red red. Given a great speech that sounded like he should run for President in 2016.

Anyway, as Red's speech ended, FBI were outside the house. Red gives Nasim a deal to get the journal and help her escape. That was his deal, but when they get to the helicopter Liz pull her gun and Nasim doesn't go and is taken by Ressler and the team.

Meanwhile, Tom's trying to help clear Liz's name and tracking Karakurt. He performs a great fake character to get in a hidden casino. Love the story sequence. Also Dembe and Vargas make it out, but in a twist Vargas shoots Dembe and leaves with the number in the newspaper ad that's from Glenn.

I don't think that Red won't like what Vargas has done but who knows what Vargas is up too. I thought he was a bad guy from last season. I hope Dembe is okay so that we can see him and Red back together.

Overall, I love this episode. We got to see a little bit of Liz and Tom romance again. Listening to Red's story about producing a play at the theater he and Liz were staying was great. Plus I had a real laugh when he tells her that he's going to bed and shuts the door that's on stage.

Overall, I give this episode a 8.5/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

You can catch The Blacklist Thursday nights at 9/8c on NBC.

Laura Vs. Citizen Stultz: The Mysteries of Laura "The Mystery of the Watery Grave"



In of the most nerve wracking episode ever. It seem that Laura had could have met her match when it comes to going up against one of the most powerful man in New York, but she's Laura Freakin Diamond. She can take anything on.

When a investigate a death of the wife of a national media baron, Wilson Stultz. Laura and the team find that Beth's car in the river, but no body was found, thinking that it might have washed down the river. Laura and Jake talk to Wilson and gives that a biker gang was after him due to a story that his paper put out.

That lead Meredith to show off her biker side and when a situation turned bad for a group of bikers and a driver, Meredith makes an arrested. When the biker was being quested he tells Laura that they didn't make any threats but make a proper papers to sue Wilson and the paper for that story.

As the case begins to moved when Meredith found that the phone call from Beth was a recording and made Laura think that this wasn't a murder but Beth faking her death. Laura finds out and tracks Beth to a motel near the airport.

Beth tells Laura that Wilson been abusing her and know for a fact that he killed his other wife. Laura decided to keep Beth's death as it is. Soon Wilson talks with Santiani about how her detectives aren't doing a great job solving his wife's death. But she played him and gave Laura the go ahead to dig deeper into Wilson place.

It gets very ugly with the press at Laura's house. Laura and the team check's Wilson's house. They look around because it's one of the room's was on a magazine and doesn't change because of it's value. But one painting was missing which was given to a museum.  But one final clue helps Laura nail the guy, the fact that Wilson hated his mother.

Laura takes Beth and the ME to Wilson's mother's grave and find that there's two skeletons in the casket.  The fact that Wilson killed his first wife, buried her in the backyard and moved the remains to his mother's casket piece by piece.

This episode was unbelievably nerve wracking  because of the character Wilson appeared. He's like the Citizen Kane of the 21st Century. I enjoyed it either way. I will say this that I was shocked to see Santiani open up to Laura that she was abused once by her husband, so this case was hard for her. Also Jake asking Laura for a date, I would be happy to see where that would happen or not. I think that Jake deserves a second chance at least.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

The Past Comes Back to Haunt: Chicago PD "Debts of the Past"


Looks like the sins of the past has come back in tonight's episode of Chicago PD. Voight and Al's relationship gets into some deep mud and a little bit of celebration goes for one couple.

The episode picks off from last week, Voight gets up and tends to his family after the car exploded from James Beckett. Hank is in an emotional rage to get Beckett and goes all rouge into finding him and bring him back to the dark.

After finding Beckett at a store, they pick him up and question him. Voight and Al try talking until his lawyer comes and proves that his client was with him filing papers at the time of the the bombing on Voight's car and another one on a former cop..

Soon, Hank starts questioning the past when they took Beckett years ago if Al took the money. Of course, I wouldn't think that he would, he isn't that dirty of a cop. But it lit up a fire between those two that only looks give you chills.

Both do their thing to investigate, Al finds one guy by the name of Whitcomb, who happens to have taken the money from Beckett years ago. They take him, question him and used him to get to Beckett with a confession. Big. Bang. Boom! With a stake out, things didn't go smoothie as always but when Voight knocks Beckett and almost takes a shot to his head. But Al stops him just in time.

After a long day's work, Hank and Al have a drink and talk about how their past is coming up. As they took a drink it looks like they kind of like washing their sins away. Meanwhile, Erin and Halstead looks like their heading back together. Erin is back at her apartment, because she states that Hank was getting tired of her using the bathroom. Halstead said an hilarious comment saying that because you leave a huge mess in there.

And not to mention that looks like Burgess and Ruzek's relationship might be on the rocks.  Burgess was shocked that Adam was engaged twice before her. He explains that the first one was puppy love. So Roman gave an advice to Burgess to use on Adam. She asked him if he would be cool if they could move the wedding back. I'm not quite sure if the yes is a good thing or a bad thing. But from what Adam says, makes sense to me. Don't want to rush it.

This was another good episode. Watching Al and Hank dealing with such a problem as their own past. I could help but enjoy how Mouse brings in a new piece of equipment, a computer board. But you can't get rid of the white board.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

You can catch Chicago PD next week with a two hour event starting at 9/8c on NBC.

Solving Miss.Crazy: iZombie "Read Dead Housewives of Seattle"


This week's crime solving gets a bit bitchier when Liv help crack on the murder of a trophy wife. Plus a familiar face returns and it's a special day for someone.

When a trophy wife is murdered along with the murderer, Liv and the guys take on the case. Liv eating the brain turns into one of the housewives. With Liv acting like, she can't stop talking about fashion and others. But when interviewing Vaughn, a flashback shows that the victim had an affair with him, but of course, Vaughn wouldn't have admitted it anyway.

Liv and Clive interviewed the husband of the victim and was shocked and upset to hear and asked about his wife's affair with Vaughn. Of course, he knew but didn't do anything until near the end of the episode threatening Vaughn to take over the company. That lead to Vaughn taking him to a secret room where he was killed by a zombie.

But at the end of the day, it was the call girl of the husband, Bethany. With more than just one name on the call girl website, it was no doubt that she was the one. Plus she took Liv shopping until Clive told her about it. Than Beth knocked Liv and tried to escape but Liv stopped her knocking her out.

A shocking moment came when both Liv and Ravi saw that Peyton is back and is handling a task force. She only comes back for a few scenes, talking to Ravi about what she's been thinking. But of course, that wasn't the only she was here for.

I didn't understand why Liv was asking everyone out on Friday until we found out that it was her birthday. Talk about making some feel horrible. Liv got a bottle of booze to celebrate until she spots a birthday cake in the refrigerator. It wasn't Gilda that go it, it was Peyton that brought the cake.

This episode was very enjoyable. I get such a kick from Steven Weber, who's character is a total mystery to me. I don't know what he'll do. I have had this feeling in this episode that he's going to pop out with something when he was with Terrance, the husband of the victim.

Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

Crazy Best Friends: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend "Josh's Girlfriend is Really Cool!"


When it comes to meeting your ex-boyfriend's girlfriend it's never the best idea to become their friend too and in this case it shows.

As Rebecca gets situated in California, she's trying to find a way to get with Josh. Paula does what best friends do best, interfere and help. Telling her that Josh will be at the Spider's club. They go but they don't get in even if Rebecca bribes the bouncer.

Without going in, Rebecca decides to go home and spend some time alone eating, exercising and glued to the television. She soon goes to the store to pick up some PMs and soon spots Josh at the frozen food aisle. Then bumps into Greg and his friends, things get awkward here when both Rebecca and Greg meet Josh and his girlfriend, Valencia.

Rebecca is shocked but soon embraces Valencia and wants to be her best friend, from social media to taking her yoga class. I have to say that musical number in the yoga scene felt like one girl talking trash to the other in a exercising way.

Things go from bad to worst when they all four: Rebecca, Greg, Josh and Valencia go out to Spider's. Both Rebecca and Valencia go dancing until Rebecca kiss her and freaks out. Soon the truth comes out from Josh and Valencia doesn't want to see Rebecca again, not even letting Josh hang with her too.

I will say that Paula is one of the best supporting characters in the series. She seems to be in between creepy best friend to maybe having a love crush with Rebecca. From buying donuts to gift giving, I'm assuming she's trying to have a friend that's younger than Mrs. Hernandez.

This was a good episode but not like the pilot. There were some good moments and some funny songs too. I just felt that it was a bit down graded from the first episode. I still think that Rachel Bloom hilarious.

Overall, I give this episode a 6/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.

You can catch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Monday nights at 8/7c on The CW.
