Stranded In The Desert On The 'New Girl' Finale

post from TV on HuffingtonPost.com on 09 May 2012 03:06:20 AM. © TV on HuffingtonPost.com

Nick and Jess have been flirting with sexual tension since the first episode, but should a relationship ever be explored between the two of them? While the season finale of "New Girl" (Tue., 9 p.m. ET on Fox) featured some more shared moments between them dripping with sexual tension, nothing came of it.

Nick's attempt to move in with his new old girlfriend saw him panic, drive into the desert and then throw the keys to the moving truck away. When Jess and Cece showed up to rescue the boys, Jess pretended to throw her keys away as well, forcing them to spend a fear-filled night outside.

While Nick finally did make it to his girlfriend's place, when he arrived he just as quickly had an apparent realization that this wasn't the place for him. The episode ended with him back in the apartment, blaring music and most of the roommates dancing their cares away in their separate bedrooms.

Entertainment Weekly thinks a "will they/won't they" Jess-Nick romance "might be best kept a 'don't'" and even listed several reasons why. Certainly the dynamic in the apartment is fine now. Plus, it's refreshing to see grown men and woman capable of being friends without feeling the need to start hooking up.

"New Girl" has already been renewed by Fox and will return for the Fall 2012 season.

TV Replay scours the vast television landscape to find the most interesting, amusing, and, on a good day, amazing moments, and delivers them right to your browser.

DARK GOOBER

post from INNER TOOB on 09 May 2012 02:07:27 AM. © INNER TOOB

Several people in Mayberry, North Carolina, had exact look-alikes who could be found in other locations, other TV shows.
Andy Taylor had an identical cousin named Andy Sawyer, who was mayor of Greenwood, North Carolina. They were named after the grandfather they shared. ('The New Andy Griffith Show')
Floyd Lawson had a half-brother named Mitchell Lawson (although we only know him addressed as Mitchell.) As seen in "Hocus Pocus And Frisby", an episode of 'The Twilight Zone'.....
Besides her sister Nora, Aunt Bee Taylor had an identical half-sister in Mayberry named Henrietta Perkins. That one of their fathers had fooled around with the other's mother was a scandal which the good people of Mayberry never spoke about... in public. ('The Danny Thomas Show' - "Danny Meets Andy Griffith")
But Goober Pyle was the only citizen of Mayberry to have an evil twin.....

Pierce was the deputy sheriff in a small town further west and south of Mayberry. He was a racist and had hatred in his heart for his fellow man in all walks of life. In fact, it may have been the overwhelming bile in his soul that contributed the most when there was a severe atmospheric change above the town in 1964 - on the morning of a prisoner's execution, the sun never "came up". The sky over the town remained dark as pitch.

The anger and hate in the hearts and souls of the townsfolk contributed and may have caused the "event". At least that's the way Reverend Anderson saw it:
"In all this darkness, is there anybody who can make out the truth? He hated, and he killed, and now he died. And you hate, and you kill. And now there's not one of you, not one of you, who isn't doomed. Do you know why it's dark? Do you know why it's night all around us? Do you know what the blackness is? It's the hate he felt. The hate you felt. The hate all of us feel. And it's too much of it, it's just too much. And so we had to vomit it up, and now it's coming up all around us and choking us. So much hate, so much misery and hate."

As far as I can imagine, the situation remains that way to this day. The government probably cordoned off the town; perhaps not even letting those people to leave, due to fears of contamination of the skies over the rest of the country. (As the episode ended, the townsfolk learned that it was happening in Dallas and all over the world.)
The town has been forgotten by the general populace of "Telemerica". It's now probably just a an entry in some misplaced dusty old folder in 'The X-Files'.....
BCnU!

Glee-ful Highlights From Episode "Prom-asaurus"

post from BuzzSugar on 09 May 2012 02:04:07 AM. © BuzzSugar

It's prom time again on Glee, and this year's festivities contain just as much drama as last year's, plus infinitely more dinosaurs. That's right - Brittany decides to exercise her presidential rights in order to celebrate the peace that apparently once existed between cavemen and dinos. It doesn't make much sense, but it does give Brittany the opportunity to prance around in a Flintstones-esque getup to Ke$ha's "Dinosaur."

It wouldn't be prom without a heated race for king and queen, and the usual suspects have their eyes on the prize: Quinn, Santana, Kurt, and Brittany. Only Quinn uses questionable methods in hopes of winning the crown, but once again, there's a shocker when the envelopes are finally read. It really feels like we're inching closer to that bittersweet Glee graduation, so let's recap the episode when you

Can I just say how much I loved all of the performances this week? OK, "Dinosaur" isn't about to be added to my iPod, but the slate of pop songs is otherwise wonderful. Rachel, Kurt, and Blaine harmonize beautifully on "Big Girls Don't Cry," while "Love You Like a Love Song" and "What Makes You Beautiful" are perfect current choices for the prom. The clincher of course is "Take My Breath Away," which serves nicely as the prom king and queen dance. Overall, I was feeling it.
With NYADA no longer in the picture, Rachel decides to shift her focus away from her shattered dreams and on to her prom and her wedding. That is, until she learns that Finn and Quinn are campaigning together for prom. It's easy to see both sides of the equation: Rachel doesn't want her prom night ruined by another girl, but Finn wants to help his friend who's had a rough year. Rachel doesn't give in though, and decides to throw her very own anti-prom party. It might have been a good idea if anyone besides Kurt, Blaine, Puck, and Becky showed up.
Quinn starts making major strides at therapy with Joe's support, and decides to show off her walking skills at the prom. In the meantime, she shamelessly uses her condition to sway voters, much to Finn's chagrin. He's sent over the edge when he catches her on two legs during the prom, and is particularly mad at himself for putting Quinn's feelings first. Finn nearly gets into a brawl with Joe after aggressively demanding that Quinn come clean to all the people that voted for her, but ultimately storms off instead.
Finn sets out to bring Rachel and co. back to the prom, which is well timed since Rachel just so happens to be showing off her perfect prom dress at that very moment. It seems like everyone's happy, until Santana learns that Brittany won't win prom king and is bitter about the whole prom court situation. Quinn has earned the most votes anyway, but she takes no pleasure in the victory - and tells Principal Figgins that Rachel was a write-in winner. It's a very sappy, very Glee moment, but it's a refreshing change of pace after Kurt winning prom queen last year as a cruel joke. Rachel's genuinely shocked, and once she realizes she's not in her own version of Carrie, she enjoys her moment in the sun.
There are major strides for the rest of the kids as well: Becky finally gets her crown, Puck fulfills his lifelong dream of spiking the prom punch, and Blaine conquers his fear of going gel-free. Like I said, big accomplishments.

How did you feel about the second helping of prom - and which prom episode do you prefer?

'Last Man Standing' Finale: Mike Buys A Tank!

post from TV on HuffingtonPost.com on 09 May 2012 01:49:51 AM. © TV on HuffingtonPost.com

After a successful first season, Tim Allen's latest sitcom "Last Man Standing" (Tue., 8 p.m. ET on ABC) didn't feel the need to rock the boat too much in this season finale. That's not to say that there weren't some pages that could be felt in the upcoming season.

While it's not clear what kind of story potential long-term there could be in Mike's impulsive purchase of a tank this week, it served as a parallel to Vanessa's weakness for constantly loaning her sister, April, money -- loaning which usually equates more to giving with no hope of ever seeing again.

After convincing her that it was better for her sister to push her to stand on her own two feet, Vanessa stands firm and gets back all the money her sister has borrowed. There's just one little catch. She also let her move in.

The other change came with virtually no drama at all when Kyle and Kristin realized that they were drifting apart as a couple and broke up. Of course, Mike kept open the invitation for Kyle to come over as part of the family, so there's the potential for future awkwardness.

No official word yet has come about a second season for the network, but experts expect ABC will renew it when they announce their fall 2012 schedule next week.

TVXOHOF - 05/2012(A): GOOBER PYLE

There will always be people living in Mayberry, North Carolina, over in Toobworld. But those that we actually "knew".....?

The population dropped by one the other day with the passing of George Lindsey, who played Goober Pyle on 'The Andy Griffith Show' and 'Mayberry RFD', and then returned over a decade later to the character with the 1980s TV reunion movie "Return To Mayberry".
'Gomer Pyle, USMC' got "A Visit From Cousin Goober" when he was stationed at Fort Henderson, and he traveled to Greenwood, North Carolina, with Howard Sprague and Emmett Clark to visit Mayor Andy Sawyer, the identical cousin of Andy Taylor (as seen in 'The New Andy Griffith Show'.)
Lindsey also played Goober Pyle on the syndicated variety show 'Hee Haw' (sort of a cornpone 'Laugh-In'). So this places a Goober doppleganger in the sketch comedy dimension of Skitlandia.
And my fellow crossoverist Robert Wronski has pointed out that the actor was listed in the credits for "Take This Job And Shove It" as "Man At Gas Station". Robert's theory is that this could be considered as a movie version of Goober. If so, for the Toobworld Dynamic he'd be the Goober of the Cineverse.
So that gives Goober Pyle more than enough credits to join Andy & Opie, Aunt Bee, and Barney Fife (who just joined last month!) in the TV Crossover Hall of Fame. And as is our tradition now here at Toobworld Central, when such an actor passes away, we induct their character right away.
"You're one of us now, Goob.
One of us... one of us.... one of us...."So welcome to the Hall of Fame, Goob.
Good night and may God bless......

THE MAYBERRY TELE-FOLKS DIRECTORY

Those townsfolk of Mayberry whom we "knew" and who are still alive (as are the actors who played them) include:

ANDY TAYLOR (Andy Griffith)
OPIE TAYLOR (Ron Howard)
GOMER PYLE - Jim Nabors
THELMA LOU FIFE* (Betty Lynn)
SAM JONES (Ken Berry)
MIKE JONES (Buddy Foster)
WARREN FERGUSON (Jack Burns)
DEAN DARLING (Dean Webb)
RODNEY DARLING (Rodney Dillard)
DOUG DARLING (Doug Dillard)

(Sometimes also known as Jebbin, Ward, and Frankie. The fourth brother, Othor/Mitch Darling, passed away.)

CHARLENE DARLING WASH (Maggie Peterson)
DUD A. WASH (Hoke Howell)

(At one point, Dud was the victim of an early "Quantum Leap" experiment in which either a sailor named Gilligan replaced Dud in his life due to some catastrophe typical of that clumsy oaf, or maybe it was Maynard G. Krebs' "expanded" consciousness took over Dud's life.)
Some of them may have moved away, but I'm sure they - like many of us - carry a little bit of Mayberry in their hearts.

BCnU!
* I'd like to think Barney did the right and finally married Thelma Lou.....
