Hank & Sarah went on a date but Sarah had seen a photo of Mark with a girl on Facebook and that of course ruined the date so they ended up playing cards and eating take out...guess Hank didn't get any either that night.
Joel & Julia are still over trying with Victor and the road is still pretty bumpy. Victor threw a baseball bat at Sydney and while he didn't hit her, he did break a window which freaked Julia out so much that she couldn't sleep at all...guess Joel's not getting any either. Are you sensing a theme here?
And if you think Crosby's the only Braverman to get lucky this episode...wrong again. Jasmine's Mom lost her job and had to move in with them so Crosby's not seeing any action either. So there I am thinking to myself "well, nobody's going to be getting pregnant any time soon" and then...the scenes for next week. Drew's girlfriend IS pregnant...O...M...G...I guess next week will be another..."Very Special Episode of Parenthood". I just had to go to bed after all of this...I put off the inevitable long enough.
NEWS & INFORMATION (Or....all of the stuff that happened while I was chillin)
*Ann Curry was offered a primo anchor position at CNN but now she's gotta beg NBC to let her out of her contract. They better do it, it's really the least they can do at this point. Just cut the ties and move on. Let the woman go and have a shot on CNN.
*NBC passed on The Munsters remake, Mockingbird Lane. Sorry Jerry O'Connell, first Kelly and now this. Is Rebecca working? One of you guys has to get something soon or those twins are going to community college!
*Totally forgot to watch/DVR Roots on BET. I've never seen it and really wanted to. I know Kunta Kinte was the guy from Star Trek Next Generation who wore the silver banana clip so he could see, but that's all I know. Anyway I wasn't the only one who wanted to watch it apparently, 10.7 million people checked it out. I hope they run it again.
*Lots of end of the year lists, which I love. Here is a good one:
The Top 10 Pirated Shows of 201210. Revolution - 2,130,000
9. Fringe - 2,280,000
8. House - 2,340,000
7. Homeland - 2,400,000
6. The Walking Dead - 2,550,000
5. Breaking Bad - 2,580,000
4. How I Met Your Mother - 2,960,000
3. The Big Bang Theory - 3,200,000
2. Dexter - 3,850,000
1. Game of Thrones - 4,280,000
**80% of pirating occurs outside of the United States
*Congrats to Univision for being named Multiplatform Broadcaster of the Year by Broadcasting and Cable. I'm happy for them, but I definitely thought Bravo and the CW did a kick ass job this year too. So if WWTM was giving out awards, they'd win it in my book. Hey...awards! Maybe next year, I will have some! Food for thought.
*Leverage was cancelled by TNT after its 5th season. I'm not a big Timothy Hutton fan and never saw one episode of this show. None of you guys have ever mentioned this one to me, so assuming nobody really cares that it was cancelled.
* When I heard that How I Met Your Mother was renewed for a 9th season I was actually NOT happy about it. I want answers damn it. I don't know about you, but I've had enough of the runaround already. If Carter Bays reads this (doubtful) or if someone who does read this knows the guy, tell him...the fans are getting pissed off! WHO IS THE MOM??? If you want to keep it going just tell us already go from there.
*You guys know that I don't watch scary stuff, but I know many of you LOVE, The Walking Dead and are relieved to learn that it was renewed for another season but a new showrunner is taking the reigns. That's usually NOT good news, but hopefully he/she won't mess with success. With TWD being the number one show this year, it has gotta be making some folks at the network a bit nervous that there is a new showrunner.*Gangnam Style passed the 1 billion views mark while I was gone. We knew it was only a matter of time, but seriously aren't we all sick of it by now? I would think Psy is even sick of it. Now he has Hammer doing it too? Please...no more Gangnam Style.
*Another thing that was only a matter of time, was the separation of Bethenny and Jason. I called this one people. I totally did. No way that guy could have been happy. Sad for them, but I knew it was coming. I wonder if Jason gets any of the Skinny Girl dough. What's he gonna do now? Just go back to real estate? Booooring Jason. How about a new reality show...JASON HOPPY'S NEXT CHAPTER. I'd watch it. Andy Cohen...what'd ya think?
*Jack Klugman passed away over the break. Oscar Madison and Quincy were two shows I was into back in the day. RIP JK
