My new favorite show starts with a cast song, everyone dressed in a rainbow of colors, singing ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)’s “Mr. Blue Sky.” It was such a bright, vibrant song and a great way to start off the night! The groups will each sing a medley of songs from a group of their choice followed by a song chosen by the judges. Elimination will work as it did the first night. After part one (medleys), one group will go home. The remaining groups will then sing the judges’ choice song and another group will be voted off, leaving the three final groups. The fans will then choose the winner of the competition, which will be announced during the live finale on Monday, December 21st (more about that later). For now, let’s see what our favorite a cappella groups have for us this week!

Allison is watching the kids while Gary and Curtis go out to celebrate his raise. Howard is coming home from Hong Kong (explains his absence) and Allison is excited to see him – she has actually missed him and thinks they can go the distance. Tom is upset because the girl he likes at school likes another guy instead because he has a boat.

How Did Your Shows Do – Dec 14th Edition

Wednesdays were getting old so I finally picked another day – Monday (although a quick shout out to Gary Unmarried for drawing in its’ largest audience ever last night! YAY!).

Monday’s ratings were of interest, with new episodes of our favorites on CBS, the premiere of The Sing Off on NBC and a Christmas Special on ABC.

Tonight opens with a top 20 group routine that is spot on! The synchronization is amazing for this many dancers. We settle in for two hours to fluff to build up to the announcement of this season’s winner. Will it be the best dancer or the favorite personality?

Dear TV Claus,

There are just a few things I’d like this year. Nothing too fancy, but
I think they’ll restore some order and justice to the world. If you
help me out, there’s some Cylon toast in it for you.

1) Have Penny and Sheldon in more episodes like “The Adhesive Duck Deficiency” on The Big Bang Theory. They’re my favorite fandom right now, and while I don’t actually want them to get together (because then Sheldon wouldn’t be Sheldon), I love when they dance around it!

2) Please place one Goth Wolowitz under my tree. As well as a real version of Research Lab: The Board Game.

3) Keep a Joss Whedon and/or Eliza Dushku show on the air for more than a season and a half. And while we’re at it, can you undo whatever Eternal Sunshine/Men in Black dealie Fox is working that makes Joss
keep forgetting?

‘Tis the season on Old Christine! Setting aside the fact the holidays were completely passed over the past four seasons, get ready to get in the spirit with guest star Molly Shannon and what I’m sure will be very refined, traditional celebrations.

Night two of The Sing Off is all about big hit numbers and our guilty pleasure favorites. We got a little preview the night before but I can’t wait to see what the groups pull out of their hats tonight. If night one had a van made out of people and a Spanish version of “I’m Yours,” I can’t imagine what’s coming for night two.

Big Love Coming Soon!

The critically acclaimed drama series BIG LOVE kicks off its nine-episode fourth season with the episode entitled “Free at Last,” debuting SUNDAY, JAN. 10 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, followed by other episodes on subsequent Sundays at the same time.

For years, Bill Henrickson has battled Roman Grant, the corrupt “prophet” of Juniper Creek. Now, with Roman dead and buried, Bill and his ever-growing family can breathe easy. Or can they?

Having struggled to mend rifts that threatened the very existence of his family in season three, Bill Henrickson now faces a host of new personal and professional challenges. Story lines in season four of BIG LOVE include: the launch of a Mormon-friendly casino with his Native American partners; the changing of the guard at the Juniper Creek compound; Bill’s potential candidacy for the Utah state senate; Barb’s controversial role at the new casino; Nicki’s stormy relationship with her ex-husband; and Margene’s career as a home shopping personality, as well as ongoing complications involving Bill’s daughter Sarah and his mother Lois.

Since trying to summarize this show seems to demean it and make no sense, I’m going to stick to favorite moments and quotes. If you don’t watch this show, you should, it’s freakin’ hysterical.
