Quick Hits: The Week in TV (w/e 12/5/09)
House. I love Wilson at the end.
Glee. WOW. I was not expecting Bill to find out so early about his wife’s treachery.
The Middle. Was really funny.
The Amazing Race. Man, I felt bad for the Globetrotters. And I want Sam & Dan to go DOWN. Not just because of the treachery against the Globetrotters, but because Dan is pretty much the whiniest girl to ever go on the show, and I can’t STAND him. “Shut uuuuuuuuuu-uhhhhhp! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! This is haaaaaaaaaaaaard! This is heeeeeeeeeeeavy! I can’t dooooooooo it!” If they win, I’m killing myself. And all of y’all.
Bones. The Avatar pimpage was embarrassing.
The Office. Wow, Michael and the Scott’s Tots–just so sad. And Dwight burning Jim the way he did was awesome. Also, Kevin applied for a job in the warehouse! Haha.
Community. “And you know what? Now that I’ve seen one, I don’t see what all the fuss was about! Big… thumb in a turtleneck! Big deal!” “If you’re going to have sex tonight… don’t use condoms!”
30 Rock. That was so funny. Frank turning into Liz, Liz turning into Jenna.
Dollhouse. River as the other Topher is awesome. Victor as Topher himself: PERFECT. The facial expressions, the voice, the ticks–everything was perfect. Also, I’m a little surprised and dismayed that I didn’t predict that the Senator was the doll. I’m usually good at predicting twists. One more thing: Alexis Denisof speaking w/ his natural American accent sounds like he’s British pretending to be American. Wigs me out. All that said: This was the best episode of Dollhouse yet. Especially the 2nd hour.
Fringe. Really graphic episode. We were eating lunch while watching, and I had to keep looking away.

I’m finally caught up on “Glee!” and agree that I didn’t expect the treachery to be discovered so quickly. Unfortunately, as a plot device, it was limited though, because something has to be discovered within 9 months. The pending wedding, and the obvious relationship Will and Emma and fallout between Finn, Quinn, and Puck should have been a clue something would occur much sooner. I still enjoy the show, but I’m getting worried that the story line is getting tranparently thin.
Speaking of transparent, totally agree with the Avatar pimpage on “Bones”. Mike Myers was less obvious with his product placements in Wayne’s World.
I saw the “House” episode, but don’t remember it. I’m still stuck on Lisa pwning House on Thanksgiving.
I haven’t watched any of the other, but you’re getting me interested in watching the Dollhouse episodes rather than just erasing them from the DVR.
