I completely second this, or third...whatever... Hi-lar-i-ous! The dad of always hungry, can't find any food in the kitchen kid, just what? What? When my son was that age, he could have MacGyver-ed together a 5 course meal, just out of scraps actually meant for the dog. Teenagers are usually dumbasses, until their stomachs need filling, and then they are Mario Batali. Yesterday we had fam that looked like cast of Godfather, and today pitbull Dad looked like an extra from Spike Lee's Malcom X (comment on his attire, not the Nation of Islam). I kept looking to see if he had a wallet on a chain, a pocket watch, something... And this jerk had the nerve to look wronged by that girl just putting her limbs in his innocent pitbulls mouth. WTH? As for "clothing switched since birth"-my friends and I, when we were teens, would have stayed going back and forth to jail. How did the mother think calling the police was helpful? Or going on Judge Judy? That is what teen girls do. They have done it since we all left the caves, and they will still be doing it when we all look like Judy Jetson. I am w/the posters that were ok w/awarding a $1, but wishing Judy could have given the defendant a truckload of cash, b/c that was complete bullshit. That could have haunted that young girl for the rest of her life. As a matter of fact, I just remembered, my bestie from high school still has my Esprit sweater, and my Keds. God dammit. Off to call the police, FBI, Homeland security, something...

I would prefer pretty much any of the hair "styles" shown on that linked page. Viola is super sexy and professional "looking" in her natural hair. Especially the red twist style. And in this day and age there would be nothing unprofessional for her to wear her natural hair. The shift dresses they are fond of putting her in would be great if only a touch longer, and just let out a 1/2, to an inch. That would even further emphasize her curves. And pants, w/the right cut and shimmy, w/a tailored shirt could be super sexy too. Then the really high heels would be less necessary. And the super close ups of the ring were a dead giveaway for it being left/lost at the crime scene, or where they were trying to dispose of the husband. Forgot earlier to add, Prissy Pratt's bi or gay fiancé was distracting to me, because of how much he looks like Michael B. Jordan. He was Reggie on All My Children. And played the lead in the movie Fruitvale Station. I tweeted that he looked just like him but bearded, as a "beard" should be. My son even asked me why Reggie was on How To, and I had to explain wasn't him. And word to all the posters who have mentioned the lack of purpose of Paris Geller's character. The fact that most of us still cant remember the characters name should say something. And Liz Weil is a very talented actress, so not sure why she is being relegated to just "occasional barking wallpaper".

Yeah. When I saw him say that I tweeted, "Shep, do you know we can hear you". The issue is that he is a journalist. Even if he personally believes that, and many do, it is not responsible to say on the air. I am loathe to quote Wendy Williams, but that is "kitchen table talk".

I liked this episode better than last week. Last week was a boring mess, sans Mellie. I like Olivia, but I am enjoying seeing other people point out that she is not the sun anymore; to borrow from Grey's. I thought the client of the week was a little weak. But it was fun to see Olivia get all hand-sy w/her in the morgue. I still hate Gabby, I mean Abby (I couldn't resist), but it was about time she stood up to those white house folks. It has seemed ridiculous that she would be hired by them to have a high profile job like press secretary, but then run around acting like she is the biggest rube in DC. But then that leads me into my big problem, and question from this show. I said it last week, and it still holds. Especially given the whole "Abby, Olivia, and the client went to law school together, and have been besties since". WTF? Again, if I am remembering correctly, didn't Abby become part of Olivia's sphere, a gladiator, and pledge everlasting devotion to her, and OPA b/c of domestic violence. The story went that Abby was married to a high society, old money asshole, who was kicking her ass. And Olivia got her out of that, and got her a divorce. But then she was always worried about said asshole finding her. And that was also why she started freaking out in S1, when Cyrus starting investigating the spokes on the OPA hamster wheel. See. WTF? If I'm right, what has changed? Law school or battered wife? Needs to lay low vs on Nat'l tv daily? Re-write, or did I imagine all of that? Still feeling the sympathy for Mellie. I do think that she is going full tilt bi-polar though. Nutty farm, or rehab, is right around the corner. And Jake is going to get killed by Papa Pope, and I can't wait. He holds himself above it all, but pimped out Quinn. Most people on this show are balls to the walls evil, or at least a very dark shade of grey. And I don't mind that. But for some reason, Jake hoping Quinn would ho-as-low-as-you-can-go really pissed me off.

I think I'm a solo singer, but I am still in love w/this show. It is absolutely, primarily, on the strength and charisma of Viola Davis, but I do think this show's plots, and actors get stronger each show. Its fun to me. A great close to my Thursday night. It doesn't hurt that the hamsters look like a Gap add; although I would like to see more of their backstories. I also always love a good who-dunnit, and seeing how long it takes me to form a theory. And of course, to see if I am right. I did not have a problem w/the case of the week. What I did have a problem w/is the lack of acting I actually saw from Ana Ortiz. Jason Gedrick, although usually a show killer, is a good actor when given a chance. But Ana Ortiz, although beautiful, gives me nothing in any performance I have ever seen her give. Vilola Davis did more w/her eyes, looking at Ana in her rearview mirror, than I got from the guest "star" the whole ep. I couldn't root for, or against her, 'cuz I could give a shit less. Still on bored w/liking Wes, but please, dear god, grow up his look. I have been saying that since the beginning, It was especially noticeable in the scene in the courtroom where it looked like he borrowed his little brothers Sunday church suit. And when he bounded down the steps in the class to get the trophy at the end. The way he dresses makes him look like he just had a growth spurt over the summer, and hasn't figured out how his "new gangly limbs work". It makes it impossible to see him as a law school student, forget supposedly on the same level, and the same age, as the other hamsters/interns. I also like that Wes wasn't afraid to stand up to Annalise. I think that they are all going to pay for taking that case, but we'll see. Prissy Pratt is ridiculous. And for someone who said in the Pilot, "I wanna be her", when referencing Annalise, she sure was quick to disregard her hero's advice. If you can't make a man faithful, what in the hell makes her think she can change their stripes. She deserves what ever she gets. Maybe if she were a younger lady I could buy this level of dumbass-ery, but not by 22/23/24. No damn way. By then you know you can not make a gay man straight. Connor is hot to death. But they need to tone down his been there, fucked everyone, and will fuck another if needed, to get evidence vibe. A gay man, like anyone, is not all about sex, all the time. Connor has to be a fully functioning person, not only defined by the fact that he is gay. I like that my Thursday night shows try to defy stereotypes. So please don't turn Connor into 1, by only focusing on 1 note. I still don't like Frank. Still don't understand Paris Gellar. And her look on this show makes me uncomfortable. But I am starting to really like Lauren. I am not sure that the side piece lied to Annalise. I thought it was being left up to the viewer whether or not he was w/holding something. Or were the flashbacks to show he was definitely lying, and I missed something? Still personally think that the husband was having an affair w/the dead co-ed. And still think Liz Weil's character might have been the 1 who killed her. But the hamsters think Annalise did it and are trying to cover for her. Then, b/c of Annalise's speech to Prissy Pratt about picking a husband, makes me wonder if Mr. Keating might be bi or bi-curious, and was having an affair w/the dead coed's boyfriend.

This made me laugh out freaking loud. I had visions of commercials for the local news saying "woman pulled out of her car, car pulled over to the side by the driver waiting behind her, and driver told not to resume driving until rush hour is over". And then on Judy the next week the case of the interrupted driver suing all of rush hour for pain and suffering. Case immediately dismissed b/c Judy doesn't play that pain and suffering nonsense. Not unless a dog also bit you while you were waiting.

First, sorry for making that sentence about not-Shay confusing. I meant not-Shay in that they killed one of my fav's off Chicago Fire, but replaced her by a lookalike, whose name I can't remember. Around my house we have taken too calling her not-Shay and/or Fay. Sorry about confusion. Second, you made me do a spit take/laugh on the "husky voice off". And made me feel less guilty about always commenting on Jason Beghe's hoarseness. I had read an article way back that said he had throat surgery that went wrong, and that was why he sounded that way now. So I have always felt guilty about thinking that part of what makes his character so scary is his sound. Third, I like when he looks like he might be lethal, w/out actually being so. If that makes sense. He crossed every line when his character was on Chicago Fire, and in the beginnings of season 1 of this show. But last night I was completely on his side when he jabbed scumbag getaway driver, to get the information on who was the shooter at the bar. Last night he was dancing on that line, w/out moonwalking over it. And finally, I was never a OTH regular viewer, but my son was in the later seasons. He always said she was way too good for that show. And he loves her as Lindsey.

Thank you for bringing that up. If you are the insurance company for Gotti jr, then of course you would fight to make the other kid 100% liable. And to protect my rates from shooting up sky high, I would whoo-yay them doing it. But as Judy never hesitates to tell anyone w/in earshot, "it's her playpen". This case was tailor-made for Judy to do a 90/10 split just so Gotti jr and sr got the message that even when it's not legally your fault, a lot of accidents can be avoided by everyone driving defensively. And in both new cases today basically only 1 side was required to do all the talking, and/or lying.

Have to agree w/those saying that people get caught all the time in the middle of the intersection, trying to make a left turn. If you have a left turn yield on green, it happens. I think what posters are saying is that the short delay between the "turn-er" getting the yellow to red, and the oncoming traffic getting the red should have prevented this accident. I think that both arguments apply, and are valid. But I think that's where Judy's emphatic "that never happens was too strong". Most experienced drivers know that just because you have any light color, doesn't mean you don't have to have your head on a swivel, and drive defensively. I think we have all been the person who sees a car stuck in the intersection trying to make a left hand turn, when our light has turned yellow, or green. Meaning, I have hesitated before when I got the green to let a car complete their turn, and have stopped when I could have continued through the yellow for the same reason. Conversely, I have been caught in the intersection because I thought I had time to turn, and the oncoming traffic ran the red. I think that Judy's lecture was correct, but her approach was wrong. She should have realized this accident would probably have been avoided by more experienced drivers. And although it is absolutely true that it was the young man making the turn who has to bear the legal responsibility, it still could have been a learning experience for both. One last thing on that case. Why did both the Dad and son look like they were right out of central casting for a Scorsese movie? I would have been afraid of getting whacked by them, and just paid. And they Dad looked like Gotti's real fam. If I'm remembering correctly from Victoria Gotti's long forgotten AE reality show. On that 1st case, why wouldn't the lawyer have done whatever was necessary to keep that off tv. It just made him look so bad, and shady. Of course he could have, like all folks on court shows, just not agreed to be on tv.

I had that problem when he started on Chicago Fire. I wanted to ask about his mom Barbara, and how the fam were doing, everytime he was at Molly's w/Gabby. Anyone who was on soaps for along time, I have to go through some serious mental gymnastics, before I can be in the moment w/their next role/character. I really like him as Halstead. He has that angsty thing down. I thought for a long time, that he and Lindsey were going to have a full blown romance, but they do seem more like just flirty friends. That scene at the bar at the end of the last ep, and the way Lindsey was with him last night, were friends who know they could go there, but don't. Plus, as we already know, Voight's head might explode. And I do see the sparks between Lindsey, and Severide, over on Chicago Fire. I want this show to remain primarily a procedural, w/the personal lives informing the units reactions to the case(s) of the week, but not devolving into "who's zooming who". I have enough of those kinds of shows on my tv lineup already. Last night's ep was the perfect balance of the two.

Well then I will be making reservations for 2. 7:30. Please be sharp! And I hate, that I hate her voice. B/c she is a completely likeable person, and a really good actress. But I cannot stand that one octave below helium thing she has going on. I also feel the same way about Nicholas Cage and Owen Wilson. They have this affected way of speaking that makes me want to go pluck my eyebrows. When I hear eithers voice I start to question if I should even have a tv in my house. They also both come across as so damned weird. I don't know if I can even explain it. But I just always feel like they are one bad day from taking out a city block.

Whoa. What? I had never heard that. Off to google. Thanx for the answer...err, correction. Damn. I just assumed Amanda Bynes was ONLY dealing w/mental illness. Damn, damnity, damn, damn,

I have seen Jason Beghe in countless roles, and never thought of him as scary. But holy crap. When Voight stands there w/his legs spread apart, and his hands stuck up high behind the bullet proof vest, he is shit on myself scary. And smokin' hot. I keep saying this, but the voice is doing part of the acting work for him. And I love that they keep up the relationship w/Voight and Lindsey. It's usually the only time we ever even get a hint of a smile from Voight. I liked this episode. Especially the Nadia and Platt stuff. She's not a bitch, just cranky. And cranky I don't mind. Had to love that Platt had a rolodex. Damn. I haven't seen one of those in a long time. My son asked the same thing, at the same time as Ruzek. I tried to explain them, and he just kept asking why it was on "a roller". lol. I am still glad to see Markie Post, but I am already tired of her. She can work her steps and apologize to Lindsey, but that doesn't mean they have to have a relationship. Some stuff can be forgiven, but never forgotten. I just don't see this ending well for either of them. But at least Lindsey would have the whole squad to lean on this time. I'm just hoping it doesn't lead to some Mom and Nadia getting high at Lindsey's, 'cuz I don't think she could take it. I was glad that the bartender was going to pull through. More stuff weighing Halstead down seems unnecessary. I did wonder though, why have not-Shay from Chicago Fire appear, if the two of them weren't going to leave together at the end. Plus, there's no hit out on Halstead now, so he doesn't need to keep creeping around. I can't remember Burgess' new partner but I really liked him tonight. I just need to stop seeing the guy from SVU every time I look at him. There's a scene in his SVU ep, where one of the ladies he purposefully infected w/HIV, throws battery acid in his face. I keep thinking where's his scars whenever I look at him.

But why assume that all the names mentioned were for Black people? That, in and of itself, for me, is the prob. I would never criticize someone simply b/c I don't like their name. We don't name ourselves. We don't decide that, anymore than we do our middle, or last names. We also don't choose what our initials may spell out, but here we are... I didn't mention those names to embarrass anyone. They were all real, and spelled the same as I remember them. I didn't say if they were Black, Hispanic, White, or any other race or nationality. I didn't even specify whether male or female. And I dare anyone to guess correctly the ratio of female to male. Go ahead, I'll wait... But while I'm waiting, I will just say that it was never my intention to offend anyone, and if I did I apologize. And if it happens again, and it probably will (I have been told I have perfected smart-assery, to quote my great grandmother), I will explain myself, and apologize again. Now back on topic. The middle of the night episode in my area is a rerun of peach cardigan lady cop vs old I Dream of Jeanie landlady. And you know how you know (type that 3x fast), you might be a Judy-aholic? I am debating whether to stay up to watch it again, or just tape it for later.

I literally yelled at the screen, "no, not another week about that damn baby...I don't watch SVU for babies". I said at end of last season, that a little happy Olivia goes a long way. And I hoped that it didn't become 1 lady, and a baby. Luckily from previews, and the amount Olivia's in them, in the field, doesn't look like baby Noah takes over too much of next week. Also saw some Finn in there too, so happy joy. Wasn't as good as season premiere, but definitely better than last week. Tinsley was played by the girl, from that waste of my summers' valuable time, Crisis. She played Dermott Mulroney's daughter. She wasn't that great a actress on that show either. And Tinsley Evans? Evans? If your name is Tinsley, your last name isn't Evans. It was nice though to see B&S's Uncle Saul. So was this week Bryan Singer ripped from the headlines, but with girls? And a little Dina Lohan thrown in for giggles sake? The part before Amaro showed up, where Tinsley is getting into her SUV, I thought Tinsley was going to start it up, and then mow a whole bunch of folks over, like that NYC heiress a few years back. But as soon as Amaro arrived I knew this was the ep when he would be worked back in as a Det. I like that Creasi is starting to fit in. But I did laugh when he made that crack about Amaro attracting trouble, and Amanda made that crack about the stash. Shaving that thing off took at least 5 years off his age. And how dare Amaro get all high and mighty about if he was going to work w/Amanda or Creasi. He was just lucky that Olivia went to bat for him, and got him back on the squad. Of course, we all knew it was just a matter of time before Amaro was back, but damn, at least be humble about it. I would like to think Amaro has learned that running around like a bull in a china shop isn't the best plan. But Olivia and Elliot got away w/it for over a decade, so don't have a lot of hope. Still loving Barba. The look Raul Esparza got on his face when he made the Canadian connection was hot. Almost hot enough for me to forgive the fact that they didn't really explain how that was helpful in the moment. Later on they spelled out, that it was a federal charge, and why, but in the moment it didn't really make sense. They kept harping on the age of consent, and the different states, and how it didn't help them. How smart skuzzy mcskuzzerson producer was to pick girls and locations that age of consent statutes, would have run out on already. Then Barba gets the light bulb moment, and he and Liv exchange sultry mental high-fives (don't act like it was only me...ok...whatever), w/out any further explanation. I didn't get the Federal angle till the end.

Oh thank you for these. Sjohnquiallie and Svetlanamaria would have made beautiful babies.

The new episode today case #2 got me. Smurfette has taught me never judge a blueberry by its cover(ing). Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyways, the defendant was completely prepared, and shut that ex-husband right down. Doesn't he watch Judy? Don't come to court, looking for money for credit card charges, and no statements/bills of said charges. WTH? Normally when the hamsters interrupt Judy, she shoots them that death ray of justice look. But not this one. Smurfette interrupted, and jumped right in there w/ "I got 'em". Think the ex, like me, that Smurfette's looks alone would get him the win. Shirt and tie trumping the rainbow-brite of it all. Case #1 made me want to jump through the tv and smack the dad. Those grown sons may have been little shits. The ex-wife may have been a bitch. But new wife needed to take several seats, and the dad should have made her do it. Shit jr shouldn't have "broken" into daddy's house to get his video game crap, but I have no doubt he felt like it was the only way he was ever going to get his stuff out of that house. Daddy No Balls needs to man up and let her know those are his kids, and they were there before she was, and hell, might, be there long after she gets back on her overly peroxided broomstick, and rides out of town. Can you tell I really didn't like her? Too much smug for my tastes. And I have a step monster-stein of my own. Speaking of blueberries...turns out the rerun for the 2nd episode was the one where Judy tells her story about a blueberry who hangs out w/moldy blueberries, and ends up getting "moldy". Good lord. I love my Judy, but can you imagine growing up in her house? As a parent myself now, I get it. I tried to be on my son like stink on shit. But I'm not so damn old that even my eyes don't start to glaze over, a little, when Judy starts on her, "let me tell you a story my parents told me".

For me, that was the problem. From all the hype, they made it seem like this was gonna be freaking huge. Someone was going to be dead. Someone we actually knew and cared about. Instead we got clean up on aisle 8.

Won't get into the who, whats, or where...lets just say I have processed their paperwork, and worked w/them: D'emeyona Charles Manson IV (why? just why?) Tupeda Ferntonya DeVarnte Ephagania (last name pronounced Coochie-not gonna provide real spelling-you know all that protecting the innocent crap) Champagana Sjohnquiallie DaMerical Clydorise (exactly like you think) Sonteerrae Pinkford Orabell Ce'Lica Lettuceya Elizarita (and this 1 started out so good) Queenetta and Chris'tal There's more, but I think that's enough. So many zigs, when they should have zagged. And don't even get me started on the girl whose initials spelled out PMS. Did her parents not notice that? I would pay real money to hear most of these peoples' names said by Judy.

Let me sum up my feelings on this ep quickly-as quickly as I am starting to hate watch this show. My son walked in from work at 10:00, and immediately said, "so who died tonight, and who's just messed up"? My answer, "the whole god damn thing was cleaned up, and they had delivery of a new fire truck by 2nd commercial". Son then said, "well then xbox1 and Madden it is". Thank you and goodnight. WTF?!? You know, you took more time thinking about the episode, and writing your post, then any of those writers did, thinking that bait n switch, boatload of crap up, I just sat through. Sorry. Didn't mean to ignore your post. And the answer to your question is... I have lived in 5 different states in my life. And in not 1 of those would a 2nd thought have been given, to mowing down an entire family, regardless of who in the hell had the green, if the lights and sirens were going. Run-on sentences be damned.

Holy Shit. I started laughing so loud the dog looked at me, and ran into the other room. Can I please eat lunch w/you tomorrow in the cafeteria? I had more to respond to in the quote bubble, but I can't stop laughing, so I'll just be mose-ying along for now.

I hate to come here only to rag, but I feel like I am about to give up on this show. As I've said before, I loved the 1st season, even if I did often feel like I needed a cheat sheet to keep up w/the Marvel World(s). But now I am just bored. Eyes started glazing over around 15/20min mark, and I was tweeting to stay up till Chicago Fire (another ball of, holy crap is it over yet) came on. So lets start w/the good. That Elizabeth Henstridge could put a smile on anyone's face. She's charming and delightful, and pulls off the comedy each week. Her interaction w/Coulson in her HydroPad, makes me miss her on the team even more. And Fitz is completely heartbreaking. Also like the relationship fine ass man from Another World and NYPD Blue, has w/Fitz (I actually always think of the "translator" sketches from Key and Peele, in reverse, when they are onscreen). Now to the bad. I am so damn bored. I didn't care about the big bad of the week. I don't care about the Dangerous Minds-Coolio/Michelle Phieffer, Sky/Ward crap I am subjected to every week. And I don't care about who fathered Sky unless it was Coulson. or Fury. At least that would be interesting. The May, and mini-May stuff is even getting old. I just feel like I'm missing something. Help... Let me off this boring ass ride.

I forgot to add the incredible scene of Oswald getting on the bus. Blended perfectly the past, present, and future Gotham(s). Loved it.

Aram has a crush on new girl, huh? He really was serving up adorable nerd this ep. And Lizzie already hates new girl. Maybe Moussad lady should just take Lizzie's old wig out for that drink. Good times. So here's my issue. There was a show last season where there was a little boy whose Dad was the "blacklist-er" of the week. The guy was some sort of Dr or scientist, who was doing all his "black-listey" bad shit to save his sons life. At the end Lizzie caught him trying to inject his son w/the lifesaving whatever. And she had the choice to kill him or let him save his kid. If I'm remembering all this correctly, and lord knows I might not be, she killed his ass. So why did she let the Dr go ahead this time? And if she learned something from last time, was I supposed to assume that? Couldn't that have been explained/discussed? Or am I linking two opposite things together? And all that goes to Ressler's very point? Or hell, it could just be me. I want this show to be more than a Spader procedural, but they gotta give me something to work w/. I'm always happy for a Pee Wee sighting (that sounded way less creepy in my head-sorry). The problem is I always, like most posters, just see Pee Wee. Other than the movie Blow, I have never been able to see him as anything but himself. I think that if the Blacklist wants to use him as more than stunt-casting, it has to be every week, for me to eventually forget "ooh, there's Pee Wee".

I like this show more each week. Feel like it's still having some growing pains, but that's too be expected. They are trying to find the right balance of camp and drama, while mixing in something for the traditional comics readers. Not to mention trying to surprise the audience when we already know how the story ends, or begins, depending on your point of view. I thought this week was a giant leap towards the balance necessary. Balloonman is so 1960's Batman. I half expected Adam West to appear at some point. The scene where the guy came crashing back down was tailor made for a Kabloom! Sphlat!. Then the serious nature of the way Bullock and Gordon investigate cases, even the cartoony balloonman, creates drama, and sometimes comedy. And nobody plays earnest like that sexy Ben McKenzie (my new Monday crush). He is killin' it. Jada Pinkett Smith is a strong actress, but so far she seems to be just vamping it up and doing her best Eartha Kitt impersonation. Which would be fine w/me if I could figure out who Fish Mooney is supposed to be. JPS shined in her scene last week w/Falcone, but then this week she was back to just filling space. She also comes alive in scenes w/Bullock and Gordon, but not sure how often that can happen, or where it goes. At this point she's basically a snitch, and she needs to do more than that. Either go full tilt boogie on the “comic, cartoony” aspect of the character (her name is Fish Mooney for gods sake), or change the way she's being played and take her truly dark. And my problem w/Barbara and Montoya is not the way either are being written, but rather the actresses playing them. We posters who called the sexual tension between them from the beginning were right. I can only assume that's why those particular actresses' were chosen. B/c I think they were both miscast, and not strong enough for the material. Last night was especially glaring when Barabara was sitting on the couch in her robe and defending Jim to Montoya. I got nothing from either one of them. And in the scene between Barbaba and Gordon when he gets home from work. The words are there, but theres nothing behind those words, or in the actresses eyes. But I'm willing to give it time, b/c the good still far outweighs the bad.
