When I heard the gunshot, my first thought was, "Please, let it be Iris who shot him!" I was sure the writers would have gone with Joe since they seem so determined to not let the women on the show do anything interesting (not that I don't love Joe; he is the heart and soul of this show, and Jesse L. Martin's reaction…

As disappointed as I am that their relationship is in tatters at the end of the season, I feel like their conflicts have made more sense than some of those in some of the adults' relationships. Selina has every right to be pissed at Bruce for not telling her the truth about her mom, but Bruce was truly trying to…

I was so worried that Barry was going to keep this secret from Iris for the rest of the season, but not only did the writers have him reveal it, but they actually made it a great episode for Iris. I loved how Candace Patton tried to keep it together and focused at first and then completely broke down when she realized…

Axl and Zoe actually make more sense to me personality-wise. Not sure how the Johnsons would take the news, but I'm sure the Hecks would mainly be relieved that she's not April.

I actually hope Doyle picks it up. Then we could have a season with maximum Paris!

Thanks for the link to The Middle review. Will Harris's reviews were some of the best on this site. I'm glad he's continuing to write them, even if it's not here.

Grandfathered really surprised me, and I was bummed there wasn't a new episode this week. I'm definitely going to miss that show if it gets cancelled. The Grinder… not so much.

I never thought it was great, and I mostly just watch it now because it records on my DVR. The Grinder is just kind of interesting to me. I thought the focus group idea was really clever and I liked how everything tied together, but… I just didn't find it that funny. As the good Rev. points out in this thread, many of…

They might be on Netflix. I remember NBC released the whole 20 season box set, but I couldn't justify spending the money on it when it's still being rerun on three different channels. Someday, though…

I wish they would just have Jack McCoy prosecute the case, thereby making future generations question whether he was a real lawyer or fictional character. Plus, I need more of Sam Waterston's outraged eyebrows on my TV (at least I still have Grace and Frankie for that).

I still DVR the reruns so I can watch an episode whenever I need a fix. SVU is just too icky to be enjoyable.

People don't really get as loopy as they portray on TV. The only thing that kind of freaked me out was that I woke up crying and I had no idea why. I didn't feel like I was in pain, but I was just sobbing (I've been anesthetized four times, and this has happened to me twice, fyi). It stops pretty quickly, but it's…

I just really hate how they drop shows midseason like this. I understand deciding to stop reviewing a show once the season ends, but it just seems unfair to those who really like the show and want a place to talk about it (this season, I've lost both Life in Pieces and Blindspot and inexplicably gained The Big Bang…

Seriously, why is Claire making lunches for Hailey and Alex? Alex is in college, and Hailey has a job. I can understand Luke not being competent enough to master basic sandwich making, but the girls are supposed to be functional adults.

I agree that it was probably unplanned, which doesn't seem to fit the Bernie we know. I just hope it leads to more of the loving, supportive Howard, who we haven't seen in a while. This episode felt like a return to the more fun, playful aspect of their relationship that made them so endearing in the first place (to…

If I remember correctly, she and Howard had a conversation either earlier this season or late last season where she said she might be open to having kids. Also, in the magician episode from way back when, she seemed to be ok with children as long as Howard would handle the majority of the parenting duties so she could…

Has Paris been confirmed as returning yet? I thought it weird that the article mentioned her boyfriend's return but not her. She was probably my favorite character out of everyone.

I'm not sure I understand Ms. Shoemaker's problem with how they handled the Jimmy/Sara relationship in this episode. I thought it was pretty obvious that Jimmy backed off because he realized that Sara wasn't on the same page as him regarding the stakeout/date. Yes, there was some playful flirting and she seemed to…

Count me as another person who found the artichoke bit unexplainably hilarious. I'm really glad they've expanded Vanessa's character beyond baby-mama-dad-still-has-feeelings-for. All three women were delightful this episode.

This show might not be groundbreaking, but it is a truly enjoyable show, probably my favorite of the new season. It treats its characters like actual people (unlike The Grinder, where everyone except Dean and Stewart feel like plot devices), and it rarely treats them condescendingly. Sara's plotline could have simply…
