That Girl: A Limited Engagement

Mr. Monk and the End, Part 2
We watched the Monk series finale last night and I have to say it wasn’t quite as good as I thought it would be. But, it did have a few twists that I didn’t expect so it still managed to win some points.
First, the case was way too easy …
Family Guy: Love, Blactually
OK, I know I shouldn’t be letting my daughter watch Family Guy at all. But, a lot of the episodes really aren’t any worse than what she would see on a show like Spongebob. However, the episode that was on yesterday afternoon, Love, Blactually, is one I definitely regret …

WWE NXT Television Show

Alphas: Pilot Episode
I don’t usually watch or read science fiction; I find that far too often, the genre relies almost entirely on an idea for a science fiction story, book, or movie.

The Simpsons: I (annoyed grunt) bot.
Last night wasn’t the first time I’ve seen the Simpsons episode “I (annoyed grunt) bot.” But, it was the first time in a while and I realized I didn’t remember anything about it.
