Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Before Kaitlin Olson was unemployed schemer on The Mick, she was the boss on The Drew Carey Show. She looks the same now as she did when she was 27 in that 2002 episode and just as funny.

The Mick is back for its second season tonight on Fox at 9p and it is even funnier this time around. The episode start offs shortly after the season finale left off and they have been living at a ritzy hotel since their huge mansion burnt down.

While the older kids, Sabrina (Sofia Black-D’Elia) and Chip (Thomas Barbusca) have been living the life of luxury, Mickey (Kaitlin Olson), Alba (Carla Jimenez) and the youngest sibling, Ben (Jack Stanton) have been sharing a hotel room. Things seem like they are still going well for them until their money manager forces them to move out of their 5 star hotel and into a Motel 6. Needless to say they do not like it and come up with a plan to bribe the money man to get back into their luxurious hotel.

If you are a fan of the show, then you know it will be beyond belief how far they will go to get their way. Let’s just say sink to their lowest yet. So will it work? You will just have to tune in for a family comedy that is not necessarily family friendly.

Then at 10p but over on NBC, is another television show about rich spoiled kids. This time it is the Menendez Brothers who killed their parents back in 1989 and tried to get away with murder.

Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Brothers starts off with Erik (Gus Halper) and Lyle (Miles Gaston Villanueva) calling the police to tell them that their parents have been shot. Then the show moves forward from there covering their arrest and court case along with some flashbacks into why the brothers killed their parents.

Here is my deal with the show, it does not need to be done as a anthology series. The case and their story is not interesting enough for 8-1 hour episodes. It works as a 2-hour telemovie and I have seen them all, and that is it. Anything after that, is overkill. OJ Simpson worked because, it played out over a long time and we as a nation lived it every day. But not many of these cases warrant more than a telemovie. I do not think that the Andrew Cunanan story for FX is going to work because that barely played out over a week and it is barely a blip in history. They need to do stories like the Son of Sam, Charles Manson and Jack Kevorkian. Stories that we still care about that took hold of the public for months if not years. If NBC really wanted to make The Menedez Brothers work, they needed to start with their family life and midway through get to the murders. Otherwise, it is a been there, seen that. Because we have. And Lifetime just did a movie about them that told me as much as the first 2 episodes of this show do.

I like anthologies, but they need to be cases that need to be told in 8 hours because 2 is just not enough. Plus, it needs to be stories we want to know more about like Ted Bundy, Scott Peterson or Jodi Arias. What do you think?

If you are looking for a sweet family comedy, then The Mick is not for you. If you love to laugh, then Fox comedy that debuts tonight 8p is for you.
Down on her luck Mackenzie (Kaitlin Olson) finally decides to visit her filthy rich sister, who is holding one of her very ritzy parties. Just as the two are reconnecting, the FBI swoops in and arrest Mick’s sister and brother-in-law. Her sister asks Mick to take care of her three kids while she’s in jail and will pay her for her trouble.
The oldest Sabrina (Sofia Black D’Elia) is the spoiled teenage b!tch who mistakenly thinks she can one up her Aunt. The two will go to head to head a lot and it is shocking either one survives their battles. There will be at least one death as a consequence and it will leave you whowling!
Then there is Chip (Thomas Barbusca) who is a snobby teen that everyone hates. He thinks money can get him out of all types of trouble, it cannot. That won’t stop him from trying.
Finally, there is gullible and lovable Ben (Jack Stanton) and the 6 year old always finds trouble wherever he goes. He doesn’t mean to, it just has a way of finding him.
Tonight Mick gets to know her niece and nephews and they get to know her. Which means they will all hate each other as families do. But when their parents decide to flee the Country, they have no choice but to become a family. Just like one, they won’t listen to each other.
Thankfully they have Alba (Carla Jimenez) the Maid to clean up their messes. Not only that, she nails every scene she is. She is the biggest scene stealer in this sitcom that is full of scene stealers!
You will be loving this show so much, that you will be saying, “C U Next Tuesday,” every week until the next episode airs again at 8:30p the following Tuesday!

Baby Daddy is back on ABC Family tonight at 8:30p and Ben (Jean-Luc Bilodeau) is wondering if there is something going on between his brother and his girlfriend.
Ben is so convinced that there is something up between Riley (Chelsea Kane) and Danny (Derek Theler), that he will do everything in his power to find out. But his curiosity might kill his relationship with the first woman he has ever loved. Will he go too far? Does Riley have feelings for Danny? Will Danny get on that plane and go to France? And what trouble will Bonnie (Melissa Peterman) get into now? All I will tell you is a lot for the last question, but what else is new?

Then at 10p, switch over to FXX for the return of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The gang attempt to break Wade Boggs record of drinking over 60 beers on a cross country flight and then hit a home run at Dodgers stadium the next day. Just try to picture Dennis (Glenn Howerton), Dee (Kaitlin Olson), Charlie (Charlie Day) and Frank (Danny DeVito) on a plane, drinking beer after beer after beer as Mac (Rob McElhenney) is the referees. If you are a fan of the show, then you think you know how it goes and your wrong. It is even worse than you can imagine because when two of them get eliminated, they try to join the Mile High Club. That is why we love them. No matter how many seasons this show goes on for, it is still as bad as ever. Which means it still brilliant beyond words can describe.
