Last time we saw the fabulous foursome, Connie went on a date with Officer Dennis, which went surprisingly well. This didn’t go over well with Larry, who not only saw Connie actually dating someone but got a ticket to make matters worse.

In the world of Ben and Kate, they’re dog-sitting and when it doesn’t go well Ben assumes Kate thinks she’s not going to be a good mother. Appears he’s already planning on being her baby daddy. Well this is going ridiculously fast with lots of holes.

House gives a cab driver in an abandoned parking lot some money and the driver leaves. House is parked outside the New Jersey State Penitentiary when out walks Thirteen. She looks surprised to see him. She walks over and he hands her a martini he made on the trunk of his car. They exchange no words.  Welcome back, Thirteen!  Your new bangs are cute.

It’s the first ever classical night on DWTS. The stage has been transformed to hold an orchestra twice the size of what we usually every week. All the music this week will be classical pieces, meaning music without a strong beat making it tougher for the celebs to keep time with the music.

Tonight also included two special guests: mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins and violinist David Garrett.

So happy to have Five-O back! I missed the banter! We’ve got a new villain (Wu Fat) and new almost ally (Kaye). But it looks like tonight is a regular old murder mystery with some internal discoveries on the side. Daniel Dae Kim live tweeted during the east coast feed and shared some secrets that I will share with you here as well in case you missed it. The best though is this “Any teasers? Yes, in the next episode, someone commits a crime, McG chases them, Danno wisecracks, and there’s a great theme song.”

Let’s go to Hawaii!

After several weeks without many episodes, How I Met Your Mother is finally back and ready to take us through the rest of the season. Though not as major an episode as some, this week saw Marshall pursuing his dreams of being an environmental lawyer.

The episode featured three plots, all connected. Barney and Robin’s came from Marshall leaving GNB, and the show’s established and current couples played off each other in the differences between their relationships.

Thank Lorre the hiatus is over! Finally new episodes are coming to our television sets and new shows are being added to the line up! I have some new favorites that I hope will last, but for now I’m just happy to see the lovable Mike & Molly back on the air. The show had picked up speed before the hiatus, finally turning away from a somewhat formulaic set up and knock it down couples comedy.

So what is everyone up to now? Well the triangle continues between Mike, Molly and Carl. Find out how after the jump!

It’s been an entire minute since we saw the Walker family, but this episode doesn’t really have much to do with the previous episode.

The only stories that carried over were the tiny ones. For those who need a refresher, those were Luc telling Sarah to start planning the wedding and Nora missing Brody. Add on to that Justin’s upcoming birthday (the big 3-0), Scotty’s visiting mother and an unexpected death and we’re back to a typical crazy Walker-filled episode.
