THE SHOWS
Parks & Recreation Leslie and the Parks Department planning the prom was a bit of a stretch even for Pawnee, but who cares. I love a good prom. Did you see the prom to-do list in the background during the prom planning meeting? Mostly normal stuff but did you notice that they needed D'Who's? Dads Who Help Out. good acronym. You knew that once Leslie saw Allison's binder she'd be OBSESSED with her and fast track her for a Summer Internship that would one day result in Allison taking over for Leslie, but not if Ron Swanson had something say. Ron apparently has a 10 point Leslie intervention scale (and what appeared to be the largest, oldest cell phone ever) and her reaction to Allison was apparently an 8, so Ron had to step in and do what he does best. Provide Leslie with the guidance and advice she can't seem to get from Ben. Ben was too busy with Tom DJ'ing the prom. Who knew that it would be Ben with the killer playlist. Huskerdoo? Awesome! What was with the ill-fitting trench coat though? Andy went the traditional route. Drinking in the limo, the tux with the aqua cummerbund and bow tie and pictures with a limping dog wearing a toupee as a stand in for April's Dad. There were glittery jackets, prom dresses, helium balloons, and net/net a good time was had by all, even April who hates proms. Had to admit, I had to look up who Elana Kagan was, 10 points if you know without looking it up too. Favorite line of the episode was Ben's when talking about DJ'ing: "I hope that the high school gymnasiums' big enough cause I'm bringing 10,000 Maniacs"
Hollywood Game Night What was up with Bob Harper and that gold tooth? Ewww! Donald Faison was amazing on Hollywood Game Night, can't believe his team didn't win and he wasn't picked for the bonus round. TV ID is one of the games that Donald was crazy good at. It's like name that tune but for TV shows. See if you could guess the TV shows by the clues given:

Tough right? I can't give you points because many of you probably saw the show. Answers are True Blood, Hawaii Five-O, Cheers, Scandal, X-Files, Shark Tank and Beavis and Butthead for those of you who didn't watch.
Scandal Abby's attempt at filling in for Olivia at the White House wasn't bad. I guess she too has a white coat. Maybe you get one from Olivia once you take the official Gladiator oath. (Does that mean Quinn still has hers-think so) Loved Mellie in her bra and rollers. Good look. Loved the ultimatum that Olivia gave Andrew and her thing with Fitz, but I gotta admit, I really enjoyed both scenes with Jake and Olivia best. The one with the sheets between them and the one with the door between them. I assumed that Jake would catch Olivia in the act, but I guess it's just that simple. To take down B613, sleep with Command. I really thought it wouldn't be that easy and would go on forever like when SD-6 was trying to take down the Alliance on what show? Scary Jake came back at the end. I didn't love that and now there are only 2 eps left til the end of the season. Damn you Kerry Washington. We could have had a few more weeks of Scandal if it wasn't for that baby!
Parenthood Ahhhh finally, Julia's BACK! Hair's brushed, ring is off, skirts are back on and she's cutting through red tape and kicking some Board of Education butt. The Charter School is a GO! So is Ashes of Rome's album and a tour with 4D. (3 more than 1D!) Loved seeing Julia with Evan at the release party, of course next week Joel shows up. What do you think Joel or Evan? I like Evan and I like him more than Ed. Hank's working through stuff with Dr. Pelican and trying to get Sarah back. Drew should probably check in with his Mom more often. How in the world does she not know he's been living with Amber for a month and out of the dorm she's paying big bucks for? Zeke found a place for him and Camille and it looks perfect. Do we think they'll actually move? Has NBC decided anything yet? One more season please!
THE OTHER STUFF
Not much news to report today…just the big obvious story…
-I don't know why I was so shocked by David Letterman's announcement, but I was. I totally get it though. He's 66 years old, the time periods more competitive and crowded than ever before and I just don't see Dave posting videos to YouTube and Tweeting about anything. I have to be honest, I've never really watched Letterman. I wasn't really a late night person until recently (I still don't consider myself one since I watch in the morning or online.) and you know who my guy is. Dave's not exactly sure when his last day will be. Sometime in 2015 so another year to say celebrate the guy and put together all sorts of tributes and retrospectives together that will now get people to tune in. Of course there's already speculation on who will take over at 1135pm on CBS. Any suggestions?
Friday's Trivia Question: I've been asked for a Final Four/NCAA/March Madness question and since I know NOTHING about this topic, I'll have to thank my friend Bob Kaplan for this one. If you don't like it, or it's too hard, blame him. Kentucky is starting 5 Freshman. What was the last team to do this in an NCAA Tournament Game? I sort of feel bad…that question is pretty niche…how about a Friends Trivia Question to end the week? The chicken and the duck got stuck in Chandler and Joey's apartment. Where were they stuck?
