May 3rd, 2014, 2:04 p.m. - "You're dead, so I'm going to let that slide"
The Amazing Race - "Accidental Alliance": Shut up, everyone who isn't Jet or Cord. They're the only people I'm rooting for now. Rating: 4 product-placed cars the racers didn't even get to drive
Modern Family - "Sleeper": I love it when they get all the characters together and wackiness ensues. It's more fun than when they split them into different groups. Rating: 4 records
The Big Bang Theory - "The Proton Transmogrification": I just...don't get Bob Newhart. Sorry. Rating: 3 Death Star cakes
May 10th, 2014, 1:21 p.m. - "I've never heard of anyone not liking pickles." "Oh, big day for you, then"
The Amazing Race - "Bull Down": I'm done with this show for the season. I don't particularly want to watch eight people I don't really like compete for a million dollars. It was a good season up to this point, but then everyone got obnoxious. Rating: 3 giant inflatable bulls
Modern Family - "Message Received": See, this is why I don't like Jay. He always makes comments about Mitchell's sexuality without realizing how much they hurt him. He needed to be called out for it. Rating: 4 answering machines
The Big Bang Theory - "The Gorilla Dissolution": Am I supposed to be excited for Leonard and Penny? Because...I'm not. I'd be more interesting in Howard and Bernadette having a baby now that they've had some experience taking care of someone demanding. Rating: 3 drinks with Wil Wheaton
May 14th, 2014, 9:56 p.m. - The West Memphis Three should sue everyone involved in this case
14. Devil's Knot (Mara Leveritt)
Up next: The Book of You (Claire Kendal)
May 17th, 2014, 12:35 p.m. - "It's not a disaster! It's just a wildfire!"
Modern Family - "The Wedding, Part 1": Phil, I would totally walk around the mall with you in a funny hat. You might be more fun than anyone I know in real life. Rating: 4 toothpicks
The Big Bang Theory - "The Status Quo Combustion": Just like last year's finale, no big developments. I enjoyed seeing Christine Baranski again, though. Now can we get a Laurie Metcalf appearance? Rating: 4 water-damaged comic books
May 24th, 2014, 12:47 p.m. - Putting the "ill" in "thriller"
15. The Book of You (Claire Kendal)
Up next: Little Failure (Gary Shteyngart)
May 25th, 2014, 2:47 p.m. - "It was Christmas the whole time!"
Modern Family - "The Wedding, Part 2": A good ending, and a nice wrap-up to the wedding storyline. I like how the Manny/Luke plot came around at the end. Rating: 4 butterflies
May 29th, 2014, 8:38 p.m. - Yay, it's back!
So You Think You Can Dance - New Orleans and Chicago auditions: A solid start to the season, though there was more filler than necessary. Needed more Cat, too. Rating: 4 cheers for Witney's partner who's now old enough to audition
I don't think a book has ever made me so mad. It took 18 YEARS for someone to do something right. I mean...freaking A.
I was promised a thriller. Instead, I got 340+ pages of violence against women and no suspense. Yawn.
