This week Jeff and Adam introduce us to a new game that they make up while cleaning out the new building space for Audrey. Russ and Timmy go on a double date and get to know each other a little bit better.

Jeff and Audrey are talking to the owner of the store space and Jeff is trying to explain that they don’t need the space anymore since Audrey changed her mind on the cookie thing. But the owner dude doesn’t want to hear about it and they are stuck with a 3 month lease. The guy will cut them a break if he cleans the place up himself.

Strippers and cougars and gangs! Oh my! In this week’s episode Castle and Beckett investigate the death of a young aspiring actor. But to solve the case they will have to get past a motorcycle gang, a wealthy cougar ex-girlfriend and a passel of male dancers with tear-away pants. Much to Castle’s chagrin.

It’s nighttime in the city but it seems like it can’t be all fun and games. A cop approaches an apartment door down a dim lit hallway with his weapon drawn. Suddenly the door opens and the cop is yanked inside.

What a title, right? And for the very first Two and a Half Men recap on TheTwoCents! But we get what we get. Sorry we’re starting a few episodes in, but with all the drama behind the scenes, it was tough to decide whether to cover a show not knowing if it would stay on. The drama is working for the comedy, which is doing better than ever. And in my opinion, is funnier than ever!

If you don’t follow along, the basic story is Charlie is a bachelor who lets his brother, Alan, move in with him after he gets divorced. On the weekends, Alan’s son, Jake, stays with them. He has a housekeeper, Berta, and a stalker, Rose.

And that’s where we are tonight. Rose is getting married after years of stalking Charlie and he’s finally in a relationship with a nice girl after his big breakup with Chelsea.

If you had The Living Daylights scared out of you last week during the Halloween episode, you won’t have to worry much about this week’s show as far as frights go. We do have to worry about Chuck losing the Intersect, Chuck’s mom actually being a baddie and James Bond as Volkoff, Alexi Volkoff.

So, another Halloween has come and gone. What did you do? Did you take children out to trick or treat? Did you go out and trick or treat yourself? Did you go to an office Halloween party or out to the bar? Did you have a party in your own house or apartment, or at a friend’s? Or, did you just spend the weekend studying like I did?

Well, however you did it, it was pretty much impossible to ignore the fact that Halloween was just here since it was everywhere. This episode of How I Met Your Mother was no exception, and it was great.

Paul shows up at Cathy’s school to show his support for her by shaving his head. She tells him she isn’t doing chemo, and he freaks out because she isn’t doing anything to work toward a cure. While his solutions are coffee enemas and breast milk, at least he’s supportive!

Hey all. Farrah here for Meg, who had a night off to celebrate her birthday. (Happy Birthday!) Although I rather be at home watching TV (which is how my covering for her came about), she decided to celebrate while I watched the 90210 gang do their thing.

The episode was set up to be the achievers versus the underachievers but turned into so much more. And what could redeem Oscar after the Laurel/Ivy incident (or his point at all?)? Read on to find out, and leave your thoughts as well! (See, I’m trying to be as Meg as possible!).

It’s the 200th show week celebration. Many former celebrities and pros are in the audience. Except for any celebs from Season 6 (other than Kristi Yamaguchi) – not sure what their deal is.

This week’s competition featured individual dances and the ever popular team dances. The teams danced the Cha Cha and were headed by former DWTS Champions Kristi Yamaguchi and Apolo Anton Ohno (who did not actually dance – but sort of coached). The individual dances were reinterpretations of former dances and were judged by the celebrity who originated the dance. Confused? Yeah, me too. First up were the team dances…

Two Cents & Five Questions with Adam (Biggest Loser)

Adam, Reality Contestant

On last week’s Biggest Loser, the blue team’s vote came down to a tie between Adam and Jessica. Therefore, the black team had to step in and break the tie. Almost a no-brainer, game wise, they chose Adam. I think it was because he had the growing 4 pound pass, but he thinks it was because they thought he was a threat and took it as a compliment. I actually think he is right, but I think it is BECAUSE of the pass that he was seen as a threat. I got a chance to talk to him about his elimination and his time on the Biggest Loser ranch. Let’s see what he had to say.

The Two Cents: Viewers were surprised to see the Blue Team get to the point where they put their fate in the Black Teams’ hands last week. Can you take me behind the scenes a little bit, and how much discussion went on between you guys or strategizing before you got to the elimination table, because it sure seemed like you guys weren’t on the same page.

Somebody is getting tortured, and then in the present, somebody is getting chased. He takes a hostage (and insists he didn’t kill his wife). Cause that’s the way to convince cops that you’re innocent. So they call in Hawaii Five-O, turns out the guy (Graham) is a Navy Seal and has taken the USS Missouri hostage.

So of course McGarrett is going to be a hero and go in and confront the guy himself. Ah, our hero.
