Saturday Night Live S37E22: “Mick Jagger”

Time does cruel and terrible things to the human experience. Not only is time the constant current against which we’re always swimming, it can play actual tricks on our brains. Why, for example, does an average season of Top Chef seem to be 11 years long, but the tenure of one of SNL‘s funniest cast members concludes in…

Glee S03E20 and S03E21: “Props” and “Nationals”

I had very little doubt that New Directions would win Nationals (finally), but it was still pretty satisfying to see. It’s all about the ginormous trophy. What is it with arts competitions handing out these ridiculous trophies? Is it some sort of attempt to thumb our noses at the oft-more-decorated athletes?

I’m okay with that. In high school, I spent every August at band camp, nursing my…

Yes, the last few weeks have been blurry with cancellations, renewals, new-show unveilings, scheduling announcements, and season finales, but they certainly weren’t boring! And in the last seven days, Upfronts week plus finales week meant the networks were out blood, resulting in both good and bad things. Which is perfect for a “Best and Worst of the Week” article! And looky here, we got one! Here’s what turned us on and turned us off during this busy week of TV.

Triple the

I know, I’m just as confused by the headline of this story as you are, but I hate that freaking song and I hope Saturday Night Live comes up with a good way to skewer it this weekend when Mick Jagger makes his way to Studio 8H to host the Season 37 finale. This will be the first time Jagger has hosted solo—he’s appeared before with some act called the Rolling Stones—and he’ll be joined by multiple musical guests: Foo Fighters, Arcade Fire, and Jeff Beck. So here are his promos, which also feature the delightful Kristen…

Andy won back his managerial position from the British usurper Nellie. Dunder Mifflin Sabre is now just Dunder Mifflin again. Robert California is out as CEO; David Wallace is in (again). Erin and Andy are together. Kelly and Ryan are not. Angela’s baby is probably Dwight’s and her husband is definitely into Oscar. On paper, The Office Season 8 was not the most eventful season! (Unless you’re a superfan for the status quo.) And although it was widely disliked by both fans and critics, I’m here to tell you it wasn’t entirely a waste of time. No really! It was…

Now that we’ve gotten all the boring CW scheduling stuff out of the way, it’s time for the video previews we’ve all been waiting for: the sexy young-adult fare of The CW! This year we have doctors, the ’80s, and a dude who looks like Robin Hood to get excited about. Take a look at these videos and search for that new show you’re too embarrassed to tell your friends you watch!

Grimm S01E22: “Woman In Black”

“Woman In Black,” last night’s fantastic Grimm finale, wove together almost every single thread that’s been left dangling over the course of Season 1, from Hank’s Wesen glimpses to Nick’s parents to Adalind to mentions of the Seven Royals and more.

Hank was going speedily insane as the episode began, his human mind unable to process the Wesen transformation he saw last episode. Nick spared little time to worry about his partner, focused on Akira Kimura instead and wondering how Kimura, the Coins, and his parents were related.

He didn’t have long…

Those of you who’ve been keeping up with our coverage of Starz’s Magic City know that some of the denizens of the Miramar Playa are getting increasingly desperate. And after watching this exclusive-to-TV.com clip from tonight’s episode—“Who’s The Horse and Who’s the Rider?—it looks like that trend will continue. More specifically: Remember that stack of missing Polaroids of Lily and Stevie all nekkid and that pesky little extortion note for $20,000? It appears that both items will be…
