Being a single parent is hard. It is a juggling act. A million plates and balls to keep spinning all at once. Yada yada yada. I'm over Olivia and Noah. Cute baby. Soul crushing storyline. I don't watch SVU for Olivia in family court every week about on her own case. Jeez! We get it SVU. It's an expensive as hell ass show to make at this point. Either cancel it, or reshuffle. The only constant at this point is Olivia. Use Mariska sparingly, or give it a go w/out her. No apologies necessary. This was a ridiculous ep, even for SVU. Keep saying it...this used to be a sad, but good hearted show, dealing w/the reality of "special crimes, special victims". Now it's just an afterschool special. No more PSA's masquerading as tv drama.

He was the man last night. Voight and Olinsky ooze big city, been there, saw that, hardened vice cops. Although to be honest, I was yelling at my tv for him to shoot the brother in his living room "shoot, shoot him now, shoot him w/the gun..." I knew why he didn't, but still... He couldn't after his wife said don't, but I would have blown his ass away and kept it moving. I know he's a cop, but I don't watch this show making moral judgment's. You bring that shit to my house, and my family, and you're done. As Seth Myers would say, "ya burnt"! And word to all this freaking out about Lindsay (Sophia Bush) leaving the show. Not happening. The show knows the fan base the character and the actress has. And Sophia Bush knows what it means to be on a successful show. Her ass ain't going nowhere.

LMAO! I just watched The Imposter on Netflix last weekend and the whole time I kept assuming the "brother was in on it". Realized towards the end that the only reason I had that in my head was b/c the actor playing the brother, plays Moriarty. Haha. Wish I would have put two and two together sooner. So yeah, he might be stuck in my mind now too.

Having watched Fonzie "jump said shark" that Tues. night, I think the term was originally meant to refer to seemingly normal, ground in reality, based shows that inextricably had weird things happen. As though the writer couldn't think of anything else for the character(s) to do but "jump a shark". over time it seems to have evolved in to anything that can be deemed different or unexpected. I think Dan cheating on Roseanne, and/or the family winning the lottery would qualify in sitcom-land. Although husbands can cheat, and folks have won the lottery, it did not make sense for the character of Dan to stray, and completely changed the working poor dynamic of the show for the fam to suddenly be rich. Based on the ratings for Its' A Wonderful Life every year it is an UO. But I so share that UO. I hate that freakin' movie. Hate. Hate. Hate. I have never even seen the whole thing b/c I can't take it. "Wishing a non-existence", as a euphemism for suicide. Really? Merry fucking Christmas! WTH? I don't begrudge all the love, but do find myself wanting to smack my family for begrudging me my tremendous amounts of hatred. Another UO in the world it seems, but not within my family is my disgust w/all things Gone W/The Wind. "I don't know nothing bout birthin no babies"...well I don't know nothing about liking this movie. This movie actually makes me seethe.

I discovered Sleepy Hollow on hulu almost a month ago. From all the chatter about it online, and on twitter I was curious. B/c it's not really a "hit", or all over entertainment media, I wondered why so popular on social media. I half binge watched and caught up to the current, midseason finale, 2 dys ago. I like the show, and did not go back and read the twitter feeds or forums till I was caught up, which helped. I think UO(s) or not...complaining about a show completely changing focus, and/or in essence pulling a "bait and switch" of/on the actual "stars" of the show, is valid criticism. What drifts into silliness, is "shipping" certain characters, stars or not, and saying show has "jumped the shark" when it doesn't happen. I personally don't give two shits about this particular death b/c I never liked the character, but the actress and character has a very large fan base, I'm just not in it. So I can understand missing, or wanting, your fave back. What I don't understand is petitions, and outrage that someone "died". Like most shows that involve lots of danger, and death, we all know certain characters are "safe". Even in the zombie apocalypse there are certain folks you know aren't scheduled to be going anywhere unless the actor wants out, or the series is ending. But on show like TWD you know everyone else is, and will be fair game. I personally thought it was going to be 1 of my faves that died. I had prepared myself and was braced for it. UO: it is gonna happen. Get over it and move on. I think Angel holds up better for me b/c it seems, and feels, less age specific. W/Buffy there's only so much HS teenage angst I can take. It was still an outstanding, and groundbreaking show. Just not necessarily something that you want to relive on weekly basis. And UO: I like Michelle Trachtenberg, but was never really sure about the whole Dawn "thing".

This ep was kind of boring. All the posters saying never really got the Antonio is in real trouble feeling are so right. The most interesting part was Leyla. That chick was a serious sociopath. I thought they could have even done more with her. Or turned the "who shot her husband" into something more. Olinsky is SO necessary to this show. He can have 1 line in whole ep, and that's the line you remember. Sophia Bush was all legs in that dress. She and Halstead are fun together. Don't necessarily ship them, but would love to see them as best friends, brother/sister close. And who takes a cab to kill/fight someone? What? Although that fight scene w/Antonio was choreographed really well.

I know that the show has been a serious mess this season b/c I liked this 1. It was missteps everywhere, and I liked it. But only in comparison to 90% of the season. Last week was an improvement over the entire season. And this week better than last. But I am with many of the posters who may be at the hate watching, or not watching at all stage. So, guess Chicago taxpayers should be aware that paramedics and an ambulance can simply not be heard from for an entire day/shift and no one notices. Forget about 51 looking or wondering. Forget about dispatches "computers being down". Apparently all the citizens just moving about the city never crossed their path, and no one else needed an ambulance that day. Check. Realize this is a show about "drama". But really? Boden's magic baby. Can't a baby on tv just be born in a hospital. Mom goes in to labor. Calls the father, who is then, rightly so, frantic to get there. Ta-da. They could have had Donna call from the hospital. Boden would have been paralyzed. And then Steve Brady jump in with the, "we got this Chief, I've been through this 200x, let's go, I'll drive"!. Ta-da. Casey went out w/his boy and got drunk. Big whoop. Severide's wife is gone, and his slutty ways returned. Big whoop. I never thought Casey slept w/the blonde. Assumed it was a misdirection. Ok fine. There was a misunderstanding when she returned Kelly's phone. Big whoop. Casey explained it to Gabby. Big whoop. Please make them stop. Break up already. They suck the life out of the firehouse and the show. Whatever chemistry the two characters had, has been eroded by them working together. It is just the same damn fight over and over 50x an episode. Just make it stop. I did like the fire starter storyline. Great job of making the truth not something audience could solve 10min in. But more time could have actually been spent on it. I thought it was really interesting. I know this is not a profiling show, but a little discussion about what was going on in his brain would have been great.

I watched them in order, taking my time. And I still thought for a moment...holy shit...has John been fooling me all along. Afterall I was convinced I had "outed" Myecroft as Moriarty in Study In Pink. So what the hell did I know. I loved this 1 so much, screw it, I am going to go right now and watch it for the 3rd time. I'll report back later...

You are so right. He was as confused to be dealing w/Sherlock, as I was in recalling that ep. Not jumping ahead but "Greg" is back for the rest, and highly entertaining, albeit also slightly "stupid". Lol. Still hated this ep. Parts of my fam hadn't discovered Sherlock, so introduced them to Study in Pink. They lurrved it. Then I started getting texts about the suckitude of ep 2. Told them to hang in, b/c it totally gets back on track in ep 3.

I never hated her until recently. Still not sure if I want her gone, dead, or whatever... I just know that the way she has been written since last season's finale is horrible. Firefighter? Paramedic? Don't care. Just make her less entitled.

Amen sister-girl (apologies in advance if wrong...never want to offend). I taught my son, not to be to graphic, you don't fuck where you eat. Literally and figuratively. Career/money and love/fam should not mix. And the more pressure or stress involved, and more money on the table, the more that is true.

I am so tired of this show. I have walked away from it before, but after couple of years they sucked me back in. But this time might be permanent. I remember when this was a sweet little show about what it takes to handle the most despicable of crimes. Now it's just a constant PSA, convoluted plot twists, and speechifying. I can't take it. I just look at Olivia's face and I want to say please shut the fuck up...and the character may not have even said something yet. I just know what's coming, and that it is going to be delivered w/an attitude and a pompousness that makes me want to smack her. I get that they gave her Noah so we could see her smile, and by no means am I saying more baby. But Jesus lady crack a joke, curl the corners of your mouth a little. I promise it won't hurt. Listen to someone else in the room for 1 second before you decide they're wrong and do whatever the hell you want anyways. When they were having the spanking convo in the squad room I wanted to scream. It's not enough we've got Ray Rice and Rihanna. Now we got to throw in some damn Adrian Peterson too. GTFOH. Spanking has never been the debate. Even non-spankers agree. Popping your kid on the butt after you have told them not to touch the stove 100x is not the same god damn thing as taking a switch to your child's penis, and drawing blood (that's 1 of the things AD did too his son). That's child abuse so lets not play games. I was spanked. No one ever abused me. And just like Finn tried to say before Olivia jumped on in, was that if you grew up being spanked you know it. If you look back at your childhood and wince...that's probably abuse. The posters who pointed out that it's not just the actors, writers, or even the characters themselves. It's the producers. Their voices are coming out in the characters. They are running their own agendas, whether that serves the show, and storylines is irrelevant. At this point the only characters I can stomach are Finn, Carisi, and Barba. And even Barba starts to suck as soon as he gets in Olivia's orbit, and she starts telling him what to do. Amaro is so angry and hostile and just waiting to jump at all times. When he was staring the husband down I almost wished he had smacked him so he could get some of what he dishes out every week. I thought this episode was terrible. It felt like The More You Know brought to life. As mentioned 1 of them is The Walking Dead. Chad Coleman is the actors name, and he still plays Tyreece on there. Before TWD the only other show I had ever seen him in was Criminal Minds. I can't remember the characters name but he was the stalker, turned kidnapper of Derrick Morgan's cousin. He was part of some underground who "married the women then enslaved them".

Don't really have much to say about this 1. Coming off Study in Pink it was a huge letdown. All the pieces didn't come together at all. The part at the "Circus" were stupid too me, and went on too long. I like that Watson gives it write back to Sherlock, but he is already being written to be too many steps behind Sherlock. I also don't want Lastarde to be such a moron, and incompetent. He should be more like Molly as professional and competent, just not Holmes level genius. It was sad when the brother killed her. But I will admit that by then I didn't care b/c the story was so weak.

I just discovered this show last weekend and have binge watched whole week. Finished today. So I am going to go ahead and respond as though I just saw 1. I tweeted about it, so it makes it easier to remember what I thought at the time. I think this show is genius. Everything about it is beautiful. The setting, the filming, the actors...it is all done perfectly. So well written and directed. And I didn't get the Cumberbatch affect before, I do now. He is amazing. The voice, the looks, and the acting is amazing. And whoever is the costumer behind his suits and coats is the shit. I only hope Watson has more to do in the future, and is not portrayed as a dumbass. I like the actor, but Watson has gone wrong in so many incarnations of Sherlock. I haven't read the books in awhile, but I remember him as being highly intelligent, and more of a thinking mans', everyman (if u know what I mean). When translated to film or tv always thought he should be the 1 representing the audience. Voicing the thoughts the viewer has. I thought I was a genius too. And I didn't have anybody to HA!!!, I figured it out to. So I hi-fived myself. I was convinced that Myecroft was Moriarty. Lucky me there was no one to tell I was wrong. Except the whole twitterverse. lol.

Alfred is a MF'er G. Watching him kick ass, take names, finesse, and bribe his way to his BRUCEEEEEE, was a fun ride. I don't think I have ever seen such chemistry between two tween actors ever. And it's the kind of chemistry that can go whatever way the writers decide as the actors age. I could see romantic, rivals, friends, even brother/sister. That's unusual and interesting to watch. I actually tweeted there's 10min left and no Barbara. And when it was over tweeted no Barbara whoo-hoo!. Arkham is gonna be balls to the walls crazy and I can't wait. Best line goes to Alfred calling Gordon and platt. Followed by Bullock calling Gordon a putz.

I am in seat 1 on car A of the hate hate hate Barbara train. Said it after the pilot, and the only thing that has changed is I hate her more. The lady who plays her may be beautiful, but she is a terrible, flat, wooden actress. She is arm candy, no more. And the writing for the character makes it so much worse. Sometimes a crappy actor, can at least be passable if the writing is amazing. In this case I actually dread the thought of her appearing on my screen. Again, we all know that a "Barbara" in the end, will have last name of "Gordon". You can play w/the timeline's and characterizations. But essentially you can't change that she will be Mrs. Gordon. So far, Gotham is a hit. And assuming it's around for awhile, and depending on where it "ends", she never has to become that Barbara Gordon. So for now let that chick kick bricks. Period. No problem w/gay or straight. I just want her gone. I loved the babies' bat and cat. I think it's fun to have them interwoven, so young, into each others' lives. And it never has to turn into a teenage soap opera for it to contribute to both characters. It can be friendly, and flirtatious w/out being obnoxious for the audience. So I agree w/Selina living at Wayne Manor, and say bring it on. And I also noticed that when he was hanging w/Selina was the 1st time I had ever seen Bruce smile. Hell, it was the 1st time I ever saw Alfred smile too. Alfred is the man. I love this characterization of him as a badass. It seems like the way they are writing Bruce's journey to being the bat requires a stronger Alfred. And it doesn't hurt that the actor playing him is charming, and very handsome. I can take or leave the character and actor playing Harvey Dent. But what I did love was the choice the producers' and writers made to fashion him as a sociopath. It never made sense to me that in the movies he would go from the white knight to crazy in .02 seconds. This Dent reminds me of the way Sherlock is now presented (BBC, not American movies). The crazy and/or evil is right under the surface, and could go either way. Gotham is writing as though some of that was already in him. And the switch just needed to be flipped. I think at this point they need to just cut the character, and actors who play Montoya and her partner, loose. They are unnecessary. And as much as I was looking forward to the “Fish Mooney” character she is being written into a corner, and I'm ok w/that. Not sure why I don't care, just don't. Although I did appreciate that Jada Pinkett Smith is toning down the Eartha Kitt impersonation. And I do like her interaction w/Falcone and Liza.

Twitter for this show has been saying that for months. I haven't done any research or anything (try to stay spoiler free of all my shows), but knowing Dick Wolfe wouldn't be shocked by this at all. My only concern is that when it was only Chicago Fire, it was a great show. Then Chicago PD came along, and Fire sucks, while PD is firing on all cylinders. So what happens after show 3? And for the record Fire is still heading in the right direction, but something's still missing. I don't know if it's the cast interaction, the writing, or what. Just isn't as much fun watching as it used to be. And yeah, bye bye for awhile Casey and Gabby. You can't work together in a job like that, and also be sleeping together. We all know that eventually they will get back together. But in the short term I think they are done.

I thought this was continuing the upward movement of Chicago Fire Ep's. It was so bad up until couple of weeks ago I was getting ready to fire it. Agree with posters' that say "solid" if not great. I am w/Mouch. Annulment. Annulment. Annulment. WTH? Whether she's crazy or not remains to be seen. But she definitely gives off the cray cray vibe. And w/out the dating part she has no idea about what it means to be married to a firefighter. So much WORD. I tweeted why does Mills now have the "Kid" of Kid N Play. That was a gimmick in the 80's. Never intended for real life purposes. He needs to get to a barber ASAP and get that fade, faded. Although still a cutie pie. Lol.

For you it's The Wire, and for me it's All My Children. He played the adopted son of Jackson Montgomery. And eventual honorary "stepson" and "brother" to Erica Kane, and Kendall, Bianca, and Lilly, respectively. For a while he was a pretty significant part of AMC. When the commercials starting airing for his movie Fruitvale Station my son goes, "look mom...Reggie's got a movie career." I have never seen The Wire but have heard amazing things about pretty much every aspect of that show. Also which ever Bring It On incarnation stars Hayden Pannitiere always make my fam giggle. Both Lizzie Spauldings' from Guiding Light were in it that movie. Hayden played little girl Lizzie. And Emme Rylan played teenage Lizzie. We have always wondered what that conversation was like when they 1st met. It's all we can think about, no matter how many times we've seen that movie. Lol.

Oh please let it be, lord, let it be. I do not like this Barbara. I do not like the actress playing Barbara. And that's been my fear all along. That we are just stuck with her. I don't read comics. But you don't have to, to know that Jim Gordon's wife is a "Barbara". So your out, although funny, works for me... LMAO.

Thanks for the answers. I knew it was both but never caught the actresses name, and don't watch either show. I remember seeing her in the commercials for Graceland and Breakout Kings.

Applause. Applause. It is very recent that parents had to worry that somebody would get shot, and not just their ass kicked. So I get it. But you talk shit about my murdered parents and I am going to find a way to fuck you up. And I'm going to enjoy it. You won't be killed. It won't be permanent. You won't have a limp or nothing. But I am going to fuck you up. Now we all know where lil Bruce's life is headed. So that's why we are reading so much into to his level of aggression and enjoyment of the aggression. But if we didn't, not sure so many people would be concerned about his overall mental health. I like that he was bullied by that kid. But only b/c it further informs where Bruce is headed. But like most things YMMV. And I hate Barbara. Hate isn't even enough. A poster that I quoted in a previous ep called her aggressively stupid. Well I aggressively hate Barbara. I tweeted that I was yelling at the screen, and my son walked in and asked why I was yelling. W/out missing a beat, and before I even had time to look up, he looked at the screen, saw Barbara, and said oh. And walked out of the room. Ta-da. That is all. edited b/c I forget the necessary hatred for Barbara

I like this show. I like it for what it is. Its fun. For me this one doesn't have to make sense. And most of the time it doesn't. It's just fun. Megan Boone is beautiful. Never saw it when she was wearing the Daniel Boone Fez Parker on her head. But now I look at her like a different person. She is not a great actress. But I do think she is improving. James Spader is a good actor, becoming a caricature. However, for the purposes of The Blacklist and Red it works. Ressler has grown on me. Although his drug addiction cured in a commercial break bugs. But I digress. Lennox is wasted. Samar is made of win. And can I please be the one to shoot the husband from hell in the eye? Pretty please? Word to all the posters who said BOO to being gone for 12wks. Seems like a recipe for a cancelled show. NBC really wants Katherine Heigel to happen again, but I think that boat has sailed. Iggy Stevens killed her career, and a string of ill advised rom-coms buried it. Oh well. I guess her show and The Blacklist can become shows we discuss in the gone too soon forum. OMG. Omg is soooo overused, but it's completely appropriate here. I had completely forgot about the pizza man w/the necktie bomb. I loved Alan Alda go click click boom. But you are right. If I had remembered the real life incident it wouldn't have been as "good". Thank you for the "bless her heart". Shoutout to my Great Grandma (she's passed...said passed out of respect to others on forum...but if you knew her, you would know..."old girl been gone long time" would crack her up). Anyways. "Bless her heart" was what she said to your face. You dumb _____, would have been what she said when you were gone.

Still haven't decided if I'm breaking up w/this show. It has sucked all season, but this episode wasn't bad. I reserve judgment till after sweeps. But in the meantime here we go. Cruz sitch was funny as hell. Severide getting married? Meh. His bride looks familiar but haven't placed yet (seems like some sort of prison show, and maybe something on usa or tnt). She clearly has some other BS going on. Haven't figured out yet if it's her crap that has Severide racing to put her in the will, or if all of that is just an anvil leading to the bye bye Severide. Still don't care about faux Shay (I refuse in protest to learn her name). Glad to see that 51 still has hostility towards Voight. I may love him now, but it's so dead on for them to still give him the side eye. Wonder if mills is the 1 to die. But can't see why Lindsey would be crying in the promo pics. Gabby still sucks. But a little less. Casey's support of his friend, and poo-pooing Gabby was fun to watch. I wondered how they would work Chicago Fire into the crossover week. Obviously SVU and Chicago Pd was easy. And tonight they confirmed my fear. They really couldn't do it. From my twitter timeline they probably increased the shows viewers, but only b/c SVU and CPD folks didn't want to miss something important for tomorrow night. So I guess the winners will be both Chicago shows b/c to see the finale you have to watch CPD. But the Chicago Fire leg of the journey was a fail. It was creepy as hell when Severide looked down and the camera focused in, but other than that... Call the police really doesn't count as "crossing over".

1st new ep don't care. Don't care in the least. Already forgot what it was about. Now the 2nd new ep, case1: Give the man his damn washer and dryer. Judy was dead on. How the hell are you going to have me paying for something in your damn house? Okay. He's a cheater cheater pumpkin eater. What in the hell does that have to do with the man still paying for merchandise he doesn't have? Girl go on. Case2: The pitbull w/opposable thumbs opening sliding doors. (By the way, all I kept thinking was...that commercial you see late at night w/the screen that has magnets that make it "clink" together...!) Anyways, the pics of here eye were horrific. Why did this lady agree to go on tv to defend this bullshit? Other than to get Judge Judy to pay the bills for her. That's all I got. She can't have thought for 1 GD second that she wasn't responsible. Case3: They deserved their money back for the fake ass tickets. I do not understand though, in this day and age, who still buys tickets they can't verify as real 1st? These sorts of scenarios always seem to end the same.
