First things first, I was unable to completely recap the last episode, so let’s catch up on what happened. Bridget started to realize she was having feelings for Andrew. She made a visit to Siobhan’s shrink for more insight into her sister. We learned that Charlie has Gemma! And Malcolm and Bridget are on to him big time. His real name is John Delario and we all know he’s in cahoots with Siobhan. Malcolm almost finds Gemma in John’s basement, but is stopped at the last minute. He does find a cell phone though. John realized they are on to him. Henry and Olivia bonded, but she is just after his father-in-law’s money.

That’s about it for the last episode. What more will we learn this week? It’s the winter finale, so you know it’ll be juicy!

Unfortunately we are down to our final 2 episodes of the season, and I have to say that this has been a wonderful season 2! Our characters have gotten more interesting and Annie has grown into a much better agent…so good that MI-6 (British Secret Service) is trying to recruit her. Say whaaat??

I find it quite funny how the show keeps stressing how nobody within the Agency know exactly what it is that Jai or his division actually does, but this week he actually tries something only for it to be a major mistake. Let’s get started….

Stanley from The Office is a Pop Star!?

You may think you’re watching a webisode by Subtle Sexuality from The Office, but you’re not.

Leslie David Baker, aka Stanley on The Office, has put out a severely auto-tuned pop song. He’s dancing around his mansion in his pajamas singing about keeping it simple.

I still don’t know if this is ‘real’ or if we have found our new comedy singing act. I’m really at a loss of words, so, I’ll just pop the video here and you tell me what you think!

Considering the self-affirming title, you would think that this would have been an episode about Santana discovering herself. Instead Glee dissolved into its familiar pattern of contrived storylines that have become painful to watch, though there were thankfully some shimmering bright spots scattered throughout.

We begin the story with Finn pretending that Santana didn’t slap him, attempting to teach Santana to accept herself by instigating Lady Music Week. That’s the point where I started to cringe.

Last week left a lot of open ends. We still have no idea if Clay is dead or alive since it has not been made clear yet. Juice has officially become a rat as well as Otto. Jax still wants to get out of the club. Tig left after Clay asked him to stay.

There is no telling what is going to happen in these last two episodes. There is no way that this does not end bloody without a doubt.

This episode featured one of the biggest fears of being a parent, the lost child. Now throw in some spousal bickering, the aftermath of an inappropriate hook-up, babysitting, and a pregnant coffee girl, and you have the making of a fast-paced hour of Parenthood.

It’s hard to believe that we’re a mere seven episodes and three months away from the end of the season. So unless you have a Nielsen ratings box, be sure to make your voice heard. Contact NBC and make sure they know we want, no we demand, a season four of this quality show. We probably won’t know until May 2012 if there is another season, so make sure your voice is heard.

After last week’s crazy Thanksgiving episode, we get an episode tonight with less over the top hijinks and more character based drama. Yes, there was a catfight and Janice Dickinson randomly showed up but tonight’s show seemed a little quieter than recent installments. It was also pretty boring.

We also saw one of the cast members say goodbye. So what soapy antics did the 90210ers get into this week? Read on for tonight’s character breakdown.

Can you believe it? Only two episodes left after tonight! We are almost ready to crown the Biggest Loser for season 12. But first, we have our favorite episode, the makeovers! I always anticipate who’s going to wear what and who’s going to shave or not. It’s interesting, one of the makeovers really blows me away.

Are you rooting for anyone yet? To be honest, I am hoping for Ramon to win the marathon and get back into the game to win the main prize and then Jessica can win the at home prize. But that’s just me. Let’s get to the review.

The Chance family is captivated by an Invention contest advertised on TV. They then decide to try and invent something. Jimmy is developing a baby mop, and partners with Sabrina to spend more time with her. Will he never learn?

Burt gets stuck in a similar spot with Andrew, the neighbor who won’t stop crying over the wife who left him. He partners up, and now Virginia has extra people horning in on her prize money left and right! Throughout, Maw Maw keeps coming up with ideas of things that have already been invented.

First off, congrats to Max Greenfield for making this list of 100 Hottest Men on TV in 2011. Jess is up to her usual tricks, and has brought her hand bell chorus to the house. Hand bells can be awesome and beautiful. Which is shortly demonstrated by Winston. I’m dying to know if the actor is actually adept with hand bells or not!

In other parts of the apartment, Schmidt insists that Nick actually fix things instead of only fixing them enough to work. This ought to be interesting…
