Competitiveness is in everyone. Some know how to temper that Monster and some let it take over. Let’s see how our funny family fail and succeed (or try to).

Phil gets a RV and plans a family summer trip to Yellow Stone. In the meantime, he takes the Dunphy clan down the coast. Claire knows this is a bad idea: siblings in an enclosed box = fights galore (being a middle child: I know). Mother knows best but doesn’t want to be a Debbie Downer, she’ll let Phil find out the hard way.

In the last week before the season finale, SVU is downplaying things a bit, presumably in preparation for a major climax next week. Still, there’s always room for a few unexpected twists here, even when they don’t have much effect on the case.

A woman at a club accepts something from an acquaintance. It seems to loosen her up. Before long, she becomes uncomfortable and stumbles outside. The next morning, a jogger finds her unresponsive in a rowboat in a river.

Damned If You Do

Previously on NCIS: McGee’s evil doppelganger DOD IG Investigator Richard Parsons (Colin Hanks) is trying to arrest Gibbs, drudging up every death, every piece of questionable evidence, every slightly illegal move our NCIS team has made over the years, and Gibbs is willing to take responsibility for it all. Gibbs has always been interested in justice more than the law.

The team wants to help Gibbs any way they can, despite Gibbs wanting to take all the responsibility, but they catch a case. Whilst they’re busy investigating why the severed head of Navy SEAL Lieutenant McBride turned up on his doorstep, Vance recruits Rear Admiral A.J Chegwidden (John M. Jackson in the same role he played in JAG) to act as Gibbs’ lawyer.

TNT and TBS to Become First National Entertainment Networks to Stream On-Air Content Live

TBS and TNT are about to become the first national entertainment networks in the industry to stream on-air content live across multiple platforms 24/7, including through the networks’ websites and a pair of newly created Watch TNT and Watch TBS apps. The announcement was made during TNT and TBS’s annual Upfront presentation today in New York. Live streaming is the latest phase in the rollout of TV Everywhere, the industry-wide initiative that gives subscribers to cable, satellite and telco video services access to more of their favorite shows across a wide range of digital platforms.

“Starting this summer, subscribers will be able to watch TBS and TNT live; anytime, anywhere, on multiple devices,” Steve Koonin, president of Turner Entertainment Networks, told the Upfront audience. “Tablets and smartphones become television sets, bringing new opportunities for us and for advertisers.”

“Papa Ghede is a handsom fellow in his hat and coat of black. Papa Ghede is going to the palace! He’ll eat and drink when he gets back.”

Just when Portland, Grimm can’t get any weirder, it just got weirder. Dead people are being revived and I’m not talking about a new CPR technique. Medical Examiners are being scared silly over reanimated corpses; busloads of people are disappearing…it’s all going to Hell and back. One thing constant in Portland, Grimm? Juliette still annoys the Jebus out of me. At least I have that solace (not really).

Semi Finals Results

Welcome to tonight’s show, the 300th episode of Dancing With The Stars! Tonight we go from five to four couples. These couples will move on to next week’s FINALS! Our couples have improved so much over the course of the competition. Some have improved more than others, but since they made it to tonight, they deserve to be here. But tonight we need to say good-bye to one of these couples. Who will it be? We are about to find out….

Tonight’s show starts on an energetic note. We are treated to a dance from the professionals, past and present. They are also joined by members of the Dancing With The Stars Troupe. What did you think of it? Have you ever thought “how do the professionals do it” – putting together and dancing a routine (or two) with their celebrity and then having to dance another one that had to be put together and practiced during the week? It is a lot of work, that is for sure and I didn’t think there was enough hours in the day to do it all.
