Is it too easy to point out that the writers on 30 Rock aren’t doing themselves any favours by naming an episode of an uneven season quality-wise, ‘Nothing Left to Lose’? It is? All right.
Instead, let’s hand out this week’s awards…

I have a feeling that tonight’s episode of Awake, the thought provoking series about a man living two lives, is going to be rather polarizing. I quite liked it, not only because it wasn’t afraid to ask questions, but because it illustrates that the show is cognizant of the discussions that we, as viewers, are having about the nature of Michael’s (Jason Isaacs) double life.

I will admit I was a little misty eyed watching the season finale of Happy Endings. Maybe it was because I knew I won’t see another new episode until the fall, or perhaps it was because I always cry at weddings. It could also have been the sweet “maybe” reunion of Dave (Zachary Knighton) and Alex (Elisha Cuthbert), but most likely it was the beautiful rendition of ‘Like a Prayer’ from one of my favorite boy bands, Mandonna. God Bless Pitchy Pete! (Eat your heart out The Wanted!)

Now wasn’t that entertaining?! As each season of Justified draws to a close, you can always expect a rash of episodes that are highly entertaining, full of twists, shoot-outs, etc. and ‘Coalition’ is one for the books as all of our players leap into action to find Mag Bennett’s missing $3.2 million.

Now that’s what I’m talking about! As Ringer cruises towards its conclusion, the writers finally figure out that the show works best as a ludicrous melodrama and they pile on the gimmicks: a suicide attempt, a body in the freezer, and a cliffhanger. Plus: the world’s most honest maid staff. Oh my!

This week Smash continues to figure out what kind of show it wants to be but ultimately, it feels like a game of high and low: we get some really good stuff, but that’s balanced out with some really horrible junk.

Mother and daughter are feeling the love this week, as Gigi (Annie Potts) and Amanda (Leslie Bibb) see romantic prospects blossom right in front of their eyes. Sharron (Jennifer Aspen), meanwhile, devotes all her time at the Church leaving Zach (Brad Beyer) no choice but to con his wife back home. And then there is Heather (Marisol Nichols)…
Oh dear, let’s bitch this one out. [Read more…]

After last week’s disappointing episode, I was curious to see whether the show would rebound in anticipation of the forthcoming season finale. With only one episode remaining, what kind of set-up is Lost Girl planning? Apparently very little…

This week on Mad Men, we got a substantial amount of Betty (January Jones) who, in my opinion, took a back seat in the tail end of last season. True to Mad Men form, we learned quite a bit about other characters even if they were in the periphery.
Let’s take a closer look after the jump.
