It is time for Dr Ken‘s first Halloween episode tonight at 8:30p on ABC and it is a real treat!
Dr Ken and his wife got engaged on Halloween back in 1995, but it didn’t go as he planned. He decides to make it up to her by proposing at the same place where it all went down 20 years ago. When he goes to buy her the ring, Alison (Suzy Nakamura) gets a call from the credit card company about a possible fraudulent purchase. She calls him to find out what is going on and they get in a fight. Is his perfect proposal a bust again or will it finally work out this time for the not-so-happily married couple at the moment?
Meanwhile, his kids are having their own problems. Molly (Krista Marie Yu) takes her father’s favorite skeleton to a Halloween party; but when she stops short, Gary breaks in to 206 pieces. Now, Dave (Albert Tsai) and her have to put him back together before their dad finds out. Which gets really complicated when they discover that one of the bones is missing. What will they do?
As bad as all of that is, things are about to get a whole lot worse at the Welltopia Medical Group office. As Julie (Kate Simses) is talking to her boss Pat (Dave Foley), she doesn’t realize that he took one of her lollipops. What is so bad about that? It was a pharmaceutical sample and the lollipop is made of Fentanyl. Now their uptight boss is higher than kite. Damona (Tisha Campbell-Martin) and Julie have to keep an eye out on him, but when they lose track of him the unthinkable happens. What? You just have to tune in to find out.
All of that is a true treat, but the best part about the episode is Dr Ken’s costume. He goes to work dressed up at the Grim Reaper. Imagine what it would be like if your doctor walks in to your appointment dressed up as Death? Yeah, he had better have the paddles on standby. As we know, Ken Jeong was a doctor in real life and some of his real life experiences are making their way on to the show. This is one of them. About 10 years ago, his wife made a joke to him and it inspired the costume. Recently at a press day for the show, he told us “She would say, ‘Why don’t you dress as the Grim Reaper at the HMOs?'” While the two of them have been joking about since then, neither one of them did it until now. And they chose the safest place to do it, television.
There is a reason why Dr Ken was the first new comedy of the fall to get a full season pickup. It is the best one of the bunch and it gets better with each episode. So tune in tonight for an episode that will make you feel as happy as you did when you would come home with a full bag of candy as kid on Halloween. The best part is you won’t have a sugar hangover the next day, just memories of a great episode that made you laugh a lot.
If you are like me, then you dream of dressing your pet up for Halloween. Only thing, is you don’t what costume to get them. Well, yesterday on Conan O’Brien’s show, they came up with some great and fun disguises you can put on your loyal companion. Who doesn’t want to dress their pup up as Bernie Sanders or their turtle as the Staples’ Easy Button or an owl as a Minion? These are just a few of the costume ideas the TBS show came up with and you can see the rest when you hit play.
I just wish he had an idea for a cat. I would’ve let him use my kitty as a model. Although she doesn’t do well with being dressed up or cameras or an audience. She would’ve been purrfect.
What are dressing your best friend up as for Halloween? My BFF is going as a cat because that is all she will allow me to dress her up as. She wins!

Adele came out of hiatus earlier this week and released her first single in years. As soon as Hello hit the internet, the song set fire to the rain. Even though the chart topping tune is just a few days old, the parodies are already rolling in the deep.
Yesterday on The Late Late Show, James Corden turned into a duet with Billy Eichner. But they changed the theme and the words, and kept them melody. Instead of Hello, it was Halloween. The CBS late night host’s version is about two men who have spent their whole lives trick or treating together, but now one of them wants to move on.
I always thought of a Halloween as a joyous holiday, until now. This ballad just ruined my Halloween. Only thing that will be make it better is drowning my sorrow in candy, but where can find sweets today?
Oh and I knew that Billy Eicher could scream, but who the hell knew he could sing like that? Maybe if he did that more often, I wouldn’t find him as annoying.
Seriously though, this might be one of my favorite bits from Corden so far. What do you think?

Tonight at 8:30p on ABC’s The Goldbergs, it is time for their annual Halloween Spooktacular episode.
Beverly (Wendi McLendon-Covey) can’t wait to dress up in a couples costume with her youngest son Adam (Sean Giambrone), but when he decides he wants to do that with his girlfriend Dana (who is back in town), she loses it. McLendon-Covey describes it as, “Beverly turns into every horrible thing that she has warned the whole neighborhood about. Like someone who steals candy, someone who puts razor blades in candy. To show how easy it is for a lunatic to do that.” Then she added, “She turns into everything that she has warned everybody about with hilarious results.” She is not kidding about the hilarious results. I had tears in my eyes from laughter watching how crazy she gets to prove to Adam how dangerous Halloween can be. Then it backfires when all of the other kids feel her wrath. Has she gone too far this time? This might be her point of no return.
While Beverly was doing all of that to scare her son, there was something even scarier out there for her three children. Erica (Hayley Orrantia), Barry (Troy Gentile) and Adam with his girlfriend (Natalie Alyn Lind) go to the neighborhood Haunted House. It is so terrifying; they will all want their mother to save them. But they will never tell her that. Or will they?
Tonight’s episode is most definitely their biggest Halloween treat yet. In fact, it might be one of their best episodes so far.
Talking about great episodes. Coming up later this season, The Goldbergs finally get a Chanukah episode. Last week, when I was on the set of the hit sitcom, McLendon-Covey talked about what it means to her. She said, “It’s thrilling for us because we finally get to acknowledge that we are Jewish. I don’t know why we haven’t done one until now.” I think we all feel that way, but then again they say good things come to those who wait. Something really good is coming our way because we waited.What are we waiting for? McLendon-Covey teased us with a little preview of the episode. She revealed that when Beverly sees her best friend across the street celebrating Christmas like a loving a family, she wants to do the same. She explained that, “Bev has the assumption that they are really good at family. The reason they are good at it, is because they celebrate Christmas. This such a wonderful thing that they pile so much into one night. We need to do that too.” What she does next is a Chanukah miracle. The biggest one since, well Chanukah.
One last thing, we know that Beverly Goldberg is based on Adam Goldberg’s real mother. The real Beverly Goldberg has been to the set and has she weighed in on McLendon-Covey’s portrayal of her? The actress told me that she hasn’t said anything about her acting, so she’s “taking that to mean she likes it because she would weigh in.” If she is anything like how her son Adam has written her, she would. That is why we love her and McLendon-Covey as her.
Tune in tonight and every Wednesday as Adam Goldberg brings his loving childhood to the small screen with a show that just pure joy. Also to see McLendon-Covey play the best sMother on television. Her performance makes this show, just like moms make the family!
On Friday, Live with Kelly and Michael will have their annual Halloween episode and they dress up as the strippers from Magic Mike. Since it’s an all-male revue, that means that Kelly has to dress up as a man. Not only that, the men don’t wear tops in the movie and neither does she. But how, she has boobs and they don’t allow that on broadcast television. She wore a nude top that makes it look like she is naked with no nipples. And since she’s smaller on top, her breasts look more like pecs than boobs. Making the ABC censors very happy.
Although, Gelman is going to get their temperatures rising. Who knew he had all of that under his clothes?
