Double the 30 Rock, double the business cases and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles references! While neither of the nights two episodes were groundbreaking or side-splittingly hysterical, they were, for the most part, consistent character-wise and joke-wise. And really, that’s all I need from this show.

Alright, so I know that I haven’t always been the biggest supporter of The Secret Circle in recent weeks (see my rant-filled post a few weeks back), but I have to say that there is a lot in ‘Curse’ that works for me.

Ringer continues to move towards its first season endgame.

It’s still Ringer, though, so there remains some truly aggravating moments.

Smash throws everything but the kitchen sink into this week’s episode as the “Marilyn” workshop finally shows to an audience of potential investors. Amidst the completely uneven storytelling there is a glimmer of hope (huzzah!) when we almost get not one but three uninterrupted numbers!

Clutch my pearls!! We’ve got a little intrigue on GCB. As the show starts to settle into it’s groove in week three, the creators finally decide to give us a little intrigue involving the deceased husband of Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb). In an episode that focuses heavily on relationships, is it good enough to keep my relationship with the show on good terms?
