The Middle "The Ditch"
This episode was half things I like and half things that bother me.
I liked:
-Mike and Axl had a nice, simple story. You get some bonding and a healthy dose of slapstick.
-Brick's story allowed Dave Foley to be hilarious and pathetic, but payed off with a touching enough resolution.
I disliked:
-Initially, Frankie duping people to get ahead in line is petty in the way the Heck's make endearing, although when she tries to cover-up her lie it was painful in the wrong ways. I did enjoy that it ended with her not getting caught.
-The way things played out with Sue fits her perfectly but it's all exactly what I would expect to happen, so it wasn't all that fun for me.
Modern Family "Games People Play"
One of my favorite episodes in a while. I always prefer Cam and Mitchell vs. the world rather than against each other. Claire was being a bitch, but that's all she is these days, so I've learned to accept that. Jay and Gloria were being entertaining in their self-reflection and, even though I think Manny's handling of the forgotten invitation was a little too trope-y, it didn't dominate the plot. Overall, it was the little touches like all the Pritchetts asking complimentary questions about their competitiveness, that sold me on the episode.
Nashville "A Picture from Life's Other Side"
One more episode until the finale. I'm ready for it.
The Big Bang Theory "The Bon Voyage Reaction"
I will miss alcoholic Raj, but good riddance to the most played out gag on TV. I hope that isn't the last we see of his girlfriend because I like that actress and this show has proven more than capable of bringing in new blood.
The Office "Finale"
That was a fantastic. They didn't try to make this the funniest episode of the show. There was no "one last caper". It was nothing but catching up with everyone and making sure everyone got a satisfying ending. Was it a perfect episode? No. Was it fitting to the series and a worthy end to a classic sitcom? You betcha. Frankly, it deserves to have more said about it than the effort I have to speak about it.
Hannibal "Fromage"
This episode brought up an issue I always have with these kinds of shows (odd to think there's so many shows about serial killers): Why are they so easy for other killers to find but not for the cops to find? Ignoring that, it was a surprisingly exciting episode and it is looking like they will get closer to Hannibal being discovered by the end of the season than I first assumed.
