Today's Instant Reactions

'Smallville' - Episode 10.02

- I love how new character Cat is a fast talker, so eager, and clueless! Fun addition to the rather dark 'Smallville.'

'Gossip Girl' - Episode 4.04

- Dear 'Gossip Girl' Powers That Be, we DO NOT enjoy watching Dan and Serena together at all so stop having them hook up or even discuss their feelings for one another. Heck, please get rid of either whining Serena or boring Dan. It would improve the series a lot!

- Can't Chuck Bass catch a break women-wise and find a normal woman who doesn't have shady intentions nor dark secrets for once? I knew Chuck and Eva wouldn't last forever and ever -- I am a Chuck/Blair fan -- but I had hoped the couple would last a tad longer.

First promo clip for 'Conan'

The first promo clip for Conan O'Brien's new show, 'Conan,' has hit the web. As expected it's hilarious! Watch for yourself below.

'Conan' premieres on November 8 on TBS.

'30 Rock' Liz Lemon's Flashbacks

Who doesn't remember the 'Friends' flashback where Chandler sported a 'Miami Vice' look while a fat Monica tried to catch his eye? 'Friends' flashbacks were hilarious while adding to the current storyline. So are the flashbacks of Robin Sparkles on 'How I Met Your Mother' and of a younger, nerdier, Liz Lemon on '30 Rock.' 

New York Magazine, via their Vulture section, put together some of the best Liz Lemon flashbacks for our viewing pleasure. See below!

Today's Instant Reactions

'The Apprentice' - Episode 10.03

- It's David vs Goliath Alex! When Alex stepped in as project manager, we instantly knew this would be an entertaining episode. Both were right and both were wrong. One thing I was pleased to see is a project manager finally having the guts to bench another contestant who was not working out with him. I'm surprised Trump didn't talk about that much in the board room. Yes, benching David was removing an extra pair of hands to help with the task but benching him meant less personal issues during the task, issues that would have taken both David and Alex away from their job and would have annoyed the other players. Ultimately, Alex was fired. Not surprising as he was the manager and his team lost... miserably. It'll be interesting to see how David will perform now that Alex is gone.

'Grey's Anatomy' - Episode 7.02

- Thanks Meredith for finally telling Derek that you were pregnant and lost it. Now you can move on, are cleared for surgery, can stop complaining you don't understand why you haven't been cleared, there are no secrets between Derek and you, so your couple can move forward too... who knows, maybe trying to get pregnant again?

'Private Practice' - Episode 4.02

- I still think pairing Addison and Sam is a very bad idea. They are NOT entertaining to watch together.

- Yay for the merger! Not only will it mean more screen time with all (or most) of them together, scenes that are usually quite entertaining and compelling, but these fantastic doctors joining forces will allow them to do even better things. Then again, they were practically already merged due to the high number of cases we've seen them work together on.

- Justine Bateman!!!!!! Need I say more?

- Fantastic ballad version of A Ha's 'Take on Me' when the man trying to become a woman told Charlotte the truth (the song continued until the commercial break). I need to find this version to download. Love the original version and its video clip.

'Bones' - Episode 6.02

- Brennan met Hannah. Of course, she tries to analyze her as only Brennan can do. The team ask Brennan if she is jealous and that she and Booth were a couple, just not sleeping together. It even got Clark to break is cardinal rule of no gossip in the workplace! ;) Booth seems to truly be happy with Hannah so, even if I have some mixed feelings about her, I'll accept her... for now especially since having her around makes Brennan behave different! But I don't want her to stay passed this season so that Booth and Brennan can finally be together.

- Watching a 'Lie to Me' commercial during 'Bones' made me think about how cool a crossover would be. Just imagine if Dr. Lightman was asked to come help Booth and Brennan and that, while there, he would analyze the duo's body language, speech, etc., and tell them how it's obvious they love one another, blah blah blah, and then have Brennan go into full Brennan mode and tell him how is science is wrong when, in fact, she knows everything he said about her loving Booth, wishing she was with him, was right.

- How fun to see Clark and Hodgins perform a test with a live human being ;) Poor Clark discovering an allergy! But it was really fun to watch him sneeze, sneeze, and sneeze some more!

'The Big Bang Theory' - Episode 4.02

- Sheldon making changes to his Sheldonian Calendar?!?! Of course, the reasons are HILARIOUS! I love Sheldon! Jim Parsons totally deserved his Emmy for best actor in a comedy series. Robot Sheldon is more annoying with his friends than human Sheldon! Of course, now he has access to the web to quickly prove his points.

- OMG at Sheldon thinking of inserting a robot clause in the roommate agreement! I wonder what else he thought of?!

'30 Rock' - Episode 5.02

- Dear '30 Rock' Powers that Be, can you make Jack's DVDs to his kid into webisodes that we can watch online? That would be just so cool and learn from his infinite wisdom! "Find a woman named Elizabeth Lemon. Get her advice. Do the opposite."

'Running Wilde' - Episode 1.02

- I gave the series another because of Will Arnett but it's just not working for me. It's not funny. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the next series that gets canceled by FOX. Too bad because we need more Will Arnett and Keri Russell on TV.
