DVR Purge 1/24-1/29

I'm still catching up from a weekend away from a computer and also my failed effort to get all of 30 Rock watched on DVD before tomorrow night. I could already go for another TV season hiatus.


30 Rock "A Goon Deed in a Weary World"
It makes me sad that due to time of the year and all, I won't be able to properly reflect on this series leading up to the finale. I'm curious to see what the last episode has in store considering this could've worked as a pretty perfect finale.

Parks and Recreation "Women in Garbage"
Which is funnier: Ron with kids or Anne with kids? If your answer was "both in equal parts" and "I love nothing", then you are correct.

The Office "Customer Loyalty"
Wow. That last scene...This is some kind of game changer, right? I didn't think it was possible to make The Office the show that I thought the most about in a given week, but they found a way. Hopefully they don't ruin it all.

Archer "The Wind Cries Mary"
Was it possible for this not to be a let down after last week's Bob's Burgers intro.

Legit "Dreams"
Oops, I accidentally setup a series recording. I honestly didn't mean to and I'm kind of glad I got to see a second episode because it solidified that I really have no desire to see another one.

Shameless "May I Trim Your Hedges?"
What horrible things does this show have left to do? I'm honestly wondering what is left to one-up itself. Faking not only paternity, but actually having a kid. Bribing someone with a blowjob for job exchange. Down-syndrome baby "vaccination". Oh yeah, and tricking a pedophile former teaching back into her old ways. So much going on. Still looking for the exact path this season is going, but I'm happy to watch episodes like this while I wait.

House of Lies "Man-Date"
Ok, I'm enjoying the season more than the first so far. That isn't saying a lot, but it is saying something.

Californication "Dead Rock Stars"
They aren't even trying any more, are they? I suppose I could also say that as "they make this look so easy". Regardless, I'm curious to see how the season will progress.

New Girl "Cooler"
I should see this as the glorious return of True American (Clinton Edition), but instead, it is the two seasons too soon Jess and Nick kiss. I like this show best as a buddy comedy. The "will they/won't they" thing is not what I enjoy. Overall, a pretty fun episode though.

Happy Endings "The Marry Prankster"
Raise your hand if you expected the proposal to be part of a larger prank...oh, it was just me? I have to learn how to read series better. Alex was pretty awesome throughout, especially in the Keyser Söze reveal.

The Mindy Project "Harry & Sally"
I don't like saying this, but I hope that's the last of Mark Duplass. That character does not work at all for me. Something else I have a hard time saying: I hope I see more of BJ Novak. I also assume this is the last of Allison Williams? That's probably for the best. So far, that relationship has been wasted.

Cougar Town "I Should Have Known It"This show has the ability to have such unbelievable heart out of nowhere. Seriously, where did the scene between Ellie and Travis come from?
