Barton is a very rich man and someone tp’d his house. His daughter comes by and starts talking about ways to keep them from moving their family business operations to China when he starts feeling like everything is getting smaller. It’s just your patriotism drying up, sir. Nothing to worry about. Take two apple pies and call me in the morning.
It’s time for the 2011 Holiday Special Guide. Find out when your favorites like Rudolph, Frosty and the Grinch will be on, or when new shows will be airing.

While I love the general premise of this show, I can definitely appreciate anything that breaks the hackneyed routine. Using a bank heist to cover up a murder was brilliant, although I did catch on pretty early that something was amiss.
In the background we got treated to the always dependable – though growing trite – Castle/Beckett tease and a major development in Alexis’s love life.

Happy Halloween! Tonight’s holiday episode of HIMYM features Marshall and Lily in the suburbs, a very embarrassing secret (for him) about Barney, and the return of a certain Halloween memory for Ted.
You may also remember the slutty pumpkin from early in the series. After seeing her in at a party, Ted has been wearing the same costume to meet her every year. At last, tonight, she is revealed!

“Dead!” It’s Dancing With the Stars! I love it! It’s a Halloween spectacular – lots of creepy music and costumes.
It’s also team dance night. The judges will score the teams and they will be added to the individual scores. Team Tango will be facing off against Team Paso Doble. But first, the individual dances.

So nothing much happened on tonight’s episode of 2 Broke Girls. Sure they went into some wacky situations and made some very sexual/racial jokes, like they do every week, but I feel like the development of the characters sort of stopped this week and we just had a random episode this week.
I didn’t hate it, but it was a little weaker than the last couple installments. So read on for the recap.

Here’s a good rule for all men: If your wife asks you if she looks fat in a piece of clothing, say “no” so fast you break the talking speed limit. You knew that one? Good. Now here’s another one: If your ex-wife asks you to vet her for a run for senator, your answer better be the same as above.
But Eli didn’t talk to me before he said, “yes” to ex-wife Vanessa. And when Kalinda does the vetting, she discovers a huge skeleton in the ex’s closet. Seems Vanessa slept with a man named Omar, whose last name just happened to be Bin Ladin. To make matters much, much worse, she did it while still married to Eli. Surprise Eli!

When last we left our heroes (heroes?), Shane and Otis were trapped in a high school with a herd of Walkers, Carl lay dying with his parents by his side, and Dary, Dale, Andrea, and Carol were waiting at the RV for a lost Sophia. All dire situations, if you ask me.
Well, we know Shane makes it. The episode starts off with him shaving his head and glaring at himself in the mirror. What did you do, Shane? Flashback to Shane and Otis running though the high school with walkers right behind. The scene is intercut with Rick telling Lori a story about Shane in high school… about how fast (and tricksy) he was. Rick knows Shane will make it back with what Hershel needs.

Happy Halloween from Wisteria Lane! After the revelation last week that Ben is planning on building his new housing development on the site where Gaby’s stepfather’s corpse is buried, the housewives need to find a way to make him stop.
The episode opens with Bree, Gaby and Lynette being chased through the woods by a man with a flashlight. They elude the chaser but when they arrive at the grave… well, something’s not right. But first we go back three days…

Last week’s episode finally clued the police in to the existence of the Doomsday Killer. This week’s episode sets them on the trail. But as many of us know, the journey towards a destination isn’t always the most exciting part of a trip.
But for all the snail-pacing of this week’s outing, we were blessedly (pun intended) missing the presence of LaGuerta. And guess what, she was not missed one bit. But all of our other key players were in attendance this week, so let’s check in on what they were up to…
