DVR Purge 4/8-4/9

Smaller edition than normal. I thought about waiting till tomorrow so I could have tonight's shows as well, but frankly, I never underestimate my procrastination, so I best get these up when I have them instead of risking being behind.



New Girl "Bachelorette Party"
-It's no knock on Hannah Simone, but I've never much cared for Cece and this marriage plot is a forced upping of the stakes. I think she almost exclusively works well with Schmidt, so I hope it gets back to that soon.
-I audibly groaned when I realized this was one of those plots where there's an old person who stumbles into young people doing scandalous things. Even the twist where they end up bonding in the end felt extremely played out.
-They are really running with this "Winston escalates things" angle, aren't they. It's like they finally found one way to write Winston that can be funny so now that's the only way they are going to write Winston. No fault of Lamorne Morris'.
-Props to Cece for calling out the 7th grade nature of Nick and Jess' impending relationship.
-It should've been a hint about the episode when it had enough time to kill that they fit in the whole opening credits.

The Mindy Project "Santa Fe"
-I wish the Jeremy/Morgan subplot had a better payoff. Like most of the people in the office, I don't totally understand their dynamic.
-I didn't realize preacher-guy was still around. This show has some odd production/airing idiosyncrasies. I actually like this guy even though it's awkward how they try to mix them in to the rest of the show.
-Yep. The Mindy/Danny train is finally gaining some momentum. It's now moved from likely plot direction to inevitable.
-Favorite line of the night: "Apparently, I'm a trigger." Really, Danny's  entire reaction to the rehab facility was great.

Cougar Town "Don't Fade on Me"
It always amazes me how distinctive the Bill Lawrence beats are. Maybe it was because it was Ken Jenkins in a doctor's office, but I swear I heard a Zach Braff voice-over when we found out he'd forgotten he'd just had a physical.

Cougar Town "Have Love, Will Travel"
This was like the Hawaii vacation on a smaller budget. In fact, I get the feeling that the writers really wanted a vacation episode, then realized there was no extra money and decided to film outside.
