Hallmark has a tradition of showing a Hanukkah movie every year. And tonight at 8p this movie is Hanukkah on the Rocks.
Tory (Stacey Farber) is a workaholic lawyer who has no time to meet a man. However, she always has time for her bubbe (Marina Stephenson Kerr), who wants her granddaughter to get married. But Tory doesn’t have time for that.
Until she does, that is because she gets laid off right before Hanukkah, and she doesn’t want to tell her parents and her bubbe. So she is pretending to work from home and take personal days. So when her bubbe asks her to find rare Hanukkah candles, she accepts the mission.
Jay (Daren Kagasoff) is in Chicago to visit his grandfather (Marc Summers), and he is trying to convince him to move down to Florida to be with him and his parents. However, he loves living where he lives.
His grandfather also wants the same candles as Tory’s bubbe, so now they are both looking for them. And luckily, there is one store that has them. Unfortunately, they only have one box. Now, they both have to fight over it.
Eventually, Tory lets Jay have the box. But then she has buyer’s remorse, so she follows him to a bar where his grandfather always goes to. Tory and him immediately get along, but the same cannot be said for Jay and her.
But they will have more time to get to know each other when she starts working as a bartender there. Together, they all work to turn Rocky’s into Hanukkah on the Rocks.
Will Jay and Tory’s relationship go from the rocks to something more? You will have to tune in for an endearing to find out.
I loved this movie, but there were two problems. One, Hallmark aired it on Shabbos. The second is if Jewish men looked like Kagasoff, more Jewish women would marry Jewish men.
Daren Kagasoff shared a photo of himself pumping gas. I am surprised the gas station did not go up in flames because he is smoking hot.
Looking at his chiseled face with a serious expression and his body leaning up against the car like that has me singing Pump It by Black Eyed Peas. Boy, do I want him to pump it.

Finally, someone is getting discharged tonight. Will it be Charlie (Griffin Gluck), Emma (Ciara Bravo), Dash (Astro), Leo (Charlie Rowe), Jordi (Nolan Sotillo) or Kara?
You just have to tune in tonight to find out and for another heartwarming episode that makes you smile and cry all within an hour.
After five seasons The Secret Life of the American Teenager, the show that made ABC Family what it is today, is saying goodbye at 8p. We don’t know who will end up with who, who will break up with who and what will happen to everyone? And depending which cast member you ask, you will also get a different response if us fans will be happy with the ending.
When Daren Kagasoff, who plays Ricky, was asked, he said “Very happy, very happy. I think the fans will be happy too.” While Ken Baumann, who plays Ben, said, “I think it is a very emotional ending and it’s an ambiguous ending. I know that it’s going to frustrate a lot of people. I’m very curious.” Then he added, “Regardless, I think that it is an appropriate ending. I think that it makes sense with the sort of arch of the entire show and I think that—yes, it’s just really emotional. It just felt right. It just felt right to me when I read the script and was there watching it be filmed.” I guess we will have to see who got it right. And I wonder if Kagasoff liked it because Ricky wound up with Amy, and Baumann didn’t because his character didn’t?
Oh and the two men did agree that tonight’s episode is the best one of the series, so it sounds like the show is going out as good as it was when it started.
Then at 9p The Fosters makes its ABC Family debut. Stef Foster (Teri Polo) is a divorced cop, who is living with her partner Lena Adams (Sherri Saum), who is a HS Vice Principal. Stef has a musically talented son, Brandon (David Lambert), with her ex-husband. The couple also adopted a set of twins, Mariana (Cierra Ramirez) and Jesus (Jake T. Austin), and they come with their own set of problems. The two have different opinions on whether or not they should meet their drug addict mother who abandoned them all of those years ago. Now that she has come back in to the picture, they have to decide whether they want her to.
You would think that there family is full enough just the way it is, well that is all going to change with a phone call. Lena is asked to foster a troubled teen, and as much as she wants to say no to Callie (Maia Mitchell), she can’t. But Callie really doesn’t want to be with them, she just wants to be with one guy. She will runaway from her new home to be with him, and what happens next will change all of their lives.
So how will this family of five change with their new addition(s), we will have to tune in every week to find out in this drama with a lot of heart that is brought to us by Queen As Folk’s Peter Paige and Bradley Bredeweg. The Fosters is the perfect addition to ABC Family and I have a feeling that viewers will be adopting this show very quickly.
