How I Met Your Mother
How I Met Your Mother was nearly perfect last night...NEARLY. All was going well. It started with a flashback of Robin Sherbatsky sporting a bowl haircut and looking like androgynous Pat from SNL burying a locket in Central Park with her Dad swearing that one day she was going to dig it up and wear it at her wedding as her "something old". Well, Robin's Dad was in town and while she wanted him to help her find it, he was much more interested in playing laser tag with Barney. So she dug like a mad women. She called Barney for help, but couldn't seem to get the words out. Meanwhile Ted was helping Marshall and Lily throw out stuff and pack for Italy. He actually used my method...if you haven't touched it in a year...it's a goner. Of course everything had meaning specifically a ripped red bean bag chair. At one point, a really dirty Robin called Ted as she was losing it trying to find her locket and again couldn't get the words out. Ted was on his way to a job interview since he hasn't worked in at least a season and of course even though Robin didn't say she was freaking, he just knew and found her in all of Central Park in 10 seconds. Of course together they found the locket and the box was somehow empty. Robin took it as a sign and then...wait for it...the show ends with Ted and Robin holding hands with that look. My guess is that either Barney or Robin's Dad have the locket and dun...dun...dun...again Robin's torn between the Ted and Barney. Well THAT BETTER NOT BE IT...we were promised a wedding and a Mom by seasons end and we better freaking get them. Just saying.Rules of Engagement
Looks like I won't be getting my wish for a perfect series ending of Rules of Engagement...that baby's coming and so is the wedding. Brenda went into labor just as Jen was putting on her dress, so of course the show ended with a to be continued. Three great scenes though...Jeff trying to get Brenda to laugh so she will pee in her pants, Adam and Audrey getting a couples massage and Adam wouldn't stop talking, and the Timmy and Russell flashback. Come back Timmy...come back.The Voice
Yeah! It's the live shows! New outfits...all good! Usher's leg, all dressed up in gray...perched in the upright position. Shakira looked beautiful as did Adam and Blake. No idea if Carson ran out of Pantene or had a new hair stylist, but he looked like a good looking Frankenstein with that giant forehead and puffed up hair. Usher took his team to a boxing ring, outfitted them in black Voice sweats and super cool red sneakers, but upon freeze framing I can assure you that they were not THE sneakers. Team Usher sang Black & Gold and I thought it stunk. Team Adam sang "Shake it Out" and did a great job. Blake seemed to over do his love for Starbucks an their beverages. Did you catch that?Then...the competition got under way
Team Adam: Amber Carrington-sang Rhianna's "Stay" - Thumbs Up
Team Usher: Josiah Hawley-sang Muse's -Thumbs Up
Team Adam: Sarah Simmons-sang "Angel" -Huge Thumbs Up
Team Usher: Cathia sang "I Have Nothing"- Thumbs Up
Lets take a super cool break and watch Adam and Usher perform "Satisfaction". A huge thumbs up!
Team Adam: Caroline Glaser sang "The A Team"- I don't love her
Team Usher: Vedo "Take a Look at Me Now"- Tough song, he did well
Team Adam: Judith Hill-"Feeling Good"-
Team Usher: Michelle Chamuel-"True Colors" - Great job
News & Information:
-HOLY COW...how in the world did I not know that there was a fish tank show war going on? Nat Geo has a fish tank show? Where have I been? Fish Tank Kings premieres 6/1 and I'm setting my TiVO right now via my mobile app. I thought I had some Nat Geo readers. Guess not. Well...a few more weeks I will let you know who wins the war! Very exciting. Of course I'll probably stay loyal to Brett and Wayde. I mean, they are the originals, but I'm still excited to see who the fish tank kings really are. I can't believe I didn't know about this show.
-FOX cancelled Cops after a gazillion seasons, but don't freak out. You can still check in on your favorite local criminals over on Spike TV since they are picking the show up and rescuing it. I'm sure you're all breathing a huge sigh of relief.
