Halloween is 6 days away and NBC is celebrating it tonight with their comedies. At 8:30p on Up All Night Ava wants to win over her neighbors who hate her by creating the scariest haunted house on the block. Only problem is that is way too scary for everyone. Meanwhile Reagan has a different type of scare, she gets called ma’am at the hip new coffee shop and now she feels old. She thinks that Chris isn’t interested in her, so she will do anything and everything to get his attention. Let’s just say she goes to a dentist to do something about it, and I am so happy I don’t go to him. Side note, isn’t the dentist scarier than Halloween?
Then at 9:31p it is Halloween time in Pawnee on Parks and Recreation and something very shocking will happen! Ron goes trick or treating with Diane’s daughters and he is so not ready to be a dad. Yeah, it is a total disaster. Leslie and Ann scare Jerry so badly that he suffers a mild heart attack. Feeling bad about what they did, they hold a fundraiser in his honor so he doesn’t have to worry about money for his kids. If Leslie doesn’t have enough on her plate, she is looking at places for Ben and her to live in. Only problem he was just offered a job in Florida. Will he choose her or the job of his dreams? You will have to tune into episode that is sweet as candy corn to find out.
Even though NBC has cancelled Animal Practice, it is not too late to enjoy tonight’s Halloween episode at 8p. Everyone and every animal will dress up for the holiday and I think that Rizzo wins Best Costume hands down! Although Juanita comes in a close second once you realize who she dressed as. Did I mention that their is an ostrich lost at the pet hospital? Yeah those things are huge and two of doctors will go down in the fight to find her.
And you have to watch the ending because JoAnna Garcia does something really mean to poor innocent Crystal the Monkey.
Then at 8:30p Guys with Kids gets scary good. Nick and Emily love to decorate their hallway and make it haunted, but when a the co-op president dies and a new one takes over she makes them take it down. They are afraid of her, but their daughter really wants to keep the decorations up. Meanwhile Shelia is also getting screwed by the HBIC of the building and she is teaming up with her arch enemy Nick to get her to change her ways. Seems the only way they can do it is through Chris. He is fine with helping them out on the one condition that they become friends. Once Chris finds out why the HBIC is so infatuated with him, he refuses to help his best friend and ex-wife. You won’t blame him when you find out why! Now back to the co-op president who died, she lived next to Gary and Marny and they want her to tear down their wall and give the boys their own bedroom. Only problem is that they have to wait a week before they can put an offer on the house. So they come with some crazy stories to scare the potential tenants away and wind up scaring some people very close to them. Be prepared to laugh because tonight’s episode is hysterical.
Then at 9p Law & Order: SVU celebrates its 300th, yes 300th episode and it is a phenomenal hour. Back in 1999 a little boy missing and now 13 years later another boy will go missing in the same exact area. The first case remains unsolved because that boy was never found and now the time is ticking on today’s kidnapping. Olivia worked the first case and now this one is bringing back memories of the old one. Are they connected? Is there a serial kidnapper in NYC? You have to watch this gripping episode to find out. And let me tell you you will have chills from the start of the show until that infamous bah dump. Or whatever that sound is they do for the show.
NBC has decided to cancel Animal Practice and replace it with the why was it renewed Whitney starting on November 14th. Now Animal Practice might not have been the best new show of this weak fall, but I think everyone can agree that their trained monkey Crystal is a millions times funnier, prettier and a better actress than Whitney Cummings. Seriously just when I thought that NBC got their crap together, they do this. I think the TV viewers would rather have Community come back instead of Sh!tney. Unless that unfunny comedy is being aired now to burn it off, so they can air a drama in the 8p slot on Wednesdays.
And talking about midseason NBC will have at least one hole to fill on their Thursday nights when 30 Rock says goodbye soon. Especially since they also killed off the even unfunnier Next Caller. On a positive note I enjoyed 1600 Penn and think that show has potential, but is that enough to save the network’s Thursday nights? You know since Up All Night should be renamed Down in Overnights.
If I were NBC, I would rush a pilot order for a show starring Crystal the Monkey. She needs to be back on weekly TV and NBC needs her to have one.
UPDATE: Tyler Labine Tweeted this about the cancellation, “So long @AnimalPractice. It’s been a blast and a half. Nothing sadder than cleaning out yet another trailer:(” I can’t wait for him to get a successful show for once!
We have heard that actresses like Teri Hatcher were forced to wear pasties on their shows because the network found their nipples to be distracting, but we never heard that was the case for any actors. That is until Anthony Anderson told Conan O’Brien that NBC ordered him to wear them because his nipples were poking through the T-Shirts he wears on Guys with Kids. I have watched every episode of the show and never once focused on his pokies, have they attracted your attention on the show that airs Wednesdays at 8:30p?
So if networks are now asking actors to wear pasties, what’s next will they be forced to wear cups so their pen!ses don’t show. I mean it is the only reason to watch Mad Men, you know to see if you can Jon Hamm’s ham!
As a woman I think we need to stop this atrocity now and tell the networks we want to see men’s nipples and their pen!ses. I am still pissed they re-shot the pilot for Three Rivers and took away chance for us to see the outline of Alex O’Loughlin’s Hawaii Five-0 that was more like eight if you know what I mean!
Jason Bateman Tweeted this picture of his Arrested Development star Will Arnett “Chin deep in balls…” and all I can think is that I hoped they washed those balls before he went in there. I assume they used new balls, but you never know. And we all know what kids do in those things and boy do we wish we didn’t!
