Parks & Rec and Girlfriends' Guide wrap ups


So...Parks & Recreation ended forever this week & I am so sad to see it go!  I thought the finale was so well done with the team finishing one last ride.  Getting to see the whole office back together to get a swing at a park fixed was like a warm hug especially since the show had moved away from that over the last season.  Granted, this last season took place 3 years in the future so it would only make sense that things weren't the same.  My favorite part was getting to see how they wrapped up each individual character showing them all in various stages of future...most in the future was Gerry/Gary/Larry/Terry who was 100 when he died.  Now, was it everyone's impression that Leslie was POTUS at the funeral?  With all of the bouncing around I couldn't keep things straight.

I was happy to see Anne & Chris return, they had definitely been missed over the last year but most of all I was happy to see both Tom & Donna treat themselves to very happy futures full of love.  Seeing Andy & April with a kid was quite hilarious because come on, Andy as a dad?  Please, poor April already had a kid before she had the baby!  

My favorite happy ending was Ron...he's always been my favorite character on the show, I want to be him when I grow up even though I don't like the outdoors as much as he does.  As for Leslie & Ben, well we all kind of knew they would end up on the political route, but seeing them as besties with April & Andy was kind of funny.  The best was that in the end so many people were moving back to the area to be back together as one big happy family again...all in all the season/series/episode was wrapped up with a nice bow & I feel satisfied.



So...Girlfriends' Guide...I wish I had a better review to offer but honestly, the finale pissed me off.  I loved the first half of this season when Janeane Garofalo was still on it...not that I have anything against Alanna Ubach (I'm a fan of hers as well) but I love Janeane & the show was more cutting edge during the first half.  The show is called Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce & in the end she went back to the husband...are you kidding me?  I was slightly disgusted with Abby when she left her divorce party to go back & meet up with Jake. Actually, I was disappointed in all of the ladies in the final episode.  

Phoebe...she's such a mess I can't even stand it & her big upset with the photographer was built up to be some big scandal yet like everything else it truly ended up that she is pissed at herself for allowing someone to take advantage of her.  Of course, like always she's going to blame everyone else for her problems...from her home the size of an effing hotel!  At 14 she was taken in by a photographer who took her to parties & offered her pills & booze that SHE accepted & then awful photos were taken...duh, what would you expect?  Here I thought the woman had sold her into sex slavery for a couple years!  Oh and, her new boyfriend Marco...yeah, he'd never date her, not in a million years, she's way too superficial for a guy like him.

Delia...she plays this super power woman who isn't going to take shit from anyone & some tool box rolls in & just changes all of that.  Seriously?  Every time I see him all I can think of is The Wedding Singer so perhaps that's why I just can't take her being with him very seriously.  I was really happy to see her get partner under her own conditions but the relationship wrap up left a bad taste in my mouth.

Jo...she is the one who needs therapy more than her daughter, she treats her child like a parent & is so codependent it's ridiculous.  Thankfully she's freaking hilarious because not many other people on the show are and speaking of others on the show can I just say that Abby's brother & his story line became completely pointless through the 2nd half of the season.  Oh and Charlie...if I behaved that way & spoke to people like that when I was that age I'd have been back handed.  What a little dick that kid is & nobody ever does anything about it because he's fragile with the divorce, I can't stand it, it's not cute or funny & ignoring the behavior isn't going to help anyone in the long run!!

So back to Abby, I can't believe she was so awful to poor Will, I'm livid that she got back with Jake & when Becca showed up at his house I said "well, you know she's going to be pregnant" and then she said she was & I threw my hands up in the air.  This show went from cutting edge girl power with divorced women taking their lives back & being OK with it & then poof...it's all gone.  This is now just another show about a bunch of sex crazed women who have no identity without men in their lives & who will spread for any kind of compliment.  Now that Jake has a job Abby thinks things will work out this time around?  Seriously, if the writing doesn't get better & these women don't get more respectable I won't continue watching this one! 

House of Cards is back...if you can stay up that late!


Tonight at 9:00 on ABC it's the 1st season finale of How to Get Away with Murder, ID moves Most Evil to a new time slot, TLC has the 4th season premiere of My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding and on CMT it's the 4th season premiere of Party Down South 2.  At 9:31 on CBS, Mom moves to a new time slot.

My picks for Oscars tonight

So...it's been a while since I've seen so many of the nominated movies...this year I saw The Grand Budapest Hotel, Boyhood & Birdman plus I saw Gone Girl which has a Best Actress nominee...of the 4 movies, Boyhood was my favorite but they were all really good.  I think Boyhood will win a lot strictly because of the labor of love that it is...12 years to make a movie, that alone deserves accolades.

North West has a Raising Helen moment


Regardless of all the stupid reasons why North was crying at a fashion show all I could think of was Raising Helen. A movie already took the time to make a joke & point out why children shouldn't be at fashion shows yet idiots geniuses don't think it pertains to them.  Honestly, I'm pretty sure Kim just brought her because she matched her outfit.  I wish they would stop treating this poor child like an accessory & stop bringing her places she doesn't belong.  I just love the look on Anna & Beyonce's faces...it's priceless!

Kids are putting us to shame!


So...as most of you know I don't care for children...they are perpetually loud & sticky & I don't have time for either.  Here's the thing...kids on cooking shows aren't like your run of the mill kids, sure they are probably sticky but only because they just made you a meal, otherwise they are like well adjusted adults in small bodies.  Yes, they cry but they are kids so they are supposed to be overly emotional but what they don't do is tear each other down, act immaturely, or behave like "poor sports" and that is why I watch these shows.

Last season I started watching MasterChef Jr. and the kids on that show are amazing...the food they cook is the kind of stuff I see on menus & don't order because it's too complicated.  Now, I'm certainly not much of a cook...I know my way around a chicken breast but I'm not very creative nor do I know what most things are actually called.  It just boggles my mind that a 6 year old even knows how to make sausage let alone kangaroo sausage!  I wouldn't have a clue where to begin, what spices to include, how to grind & case it...it's amazing to watch them do this stuff without recipes or guidance.

Well last night I checked out the first two episodes of Kids Baking Championship & man do those kids know what's up.  I love to bake & it can take me a good couple hours to make 1 thing & they had 2 hours to make 3 things.  In the first episode they made tarts, pies, cheesecakes, cookies, cupcakes & more...I was totally blown away.  In the second they had to make impostor desserts...they made things like sushi, burgers, pizza, etc. out of things like cupcakes, fondant, cookies & so on.  Not only did their dessert have to look like the food they were assigned it actually had to taste good too & they all did such a good job!  

Anyway, we all need to step up our game because let me tell you...I wouldn't know how to make brownies into the right consistency to be able to crumble them up to look like beef nor do I even know what salmon en croute actually is let alone how to make it.  Hopefully my friends kids will be able to teach me a thing or two over the years!!
