Oh no! Uncle Mitch is leaving! That makes me sad. And some guy named Howard has replaced Krandall. BOO! But he’s rich so we’re supposed to like him. And Al Gore is town! AL GORE! Wait, is it 2002? Just kidding … Al Gore rocks my socks and so does this show!

Uncle Mitch is heading back to the reserves and you know he has to go out with one last antic. He is shipping his items ahead of time and the one thing he wants to bring is a special salad dressing (this may seem trivial, but it has importance later. Okay, maybe not importance, but it plays a funny part in a story).

Only one Sue scene? What is Glee without some snipey Sue? Ah, but the producers make it up to us in a big way — by having Broadway baby and recent Emmy winner Kristin Chenoweth guest star. Oh joy!

It all begins when Will runs into one of his old students who is a six-year senior now at another high school. Seems he keeps getting failed so he can stay in the school’s award-winning glee club. Ding-ding-ding! Will decides that he needs his own ringer and discovers that former glee club diva, April Rhodes, never graduated. And we all know how well Chenoweth can sing.

Five Notable Things About This Week’s Episode:

Matt LeBlanc Returning To TV

Don’t worry, it’s not as Joey. He’s trying something new.

The Hollywood Reporter is saying: “Matt LeBlanc is reteaming with “Friends” co-creator David Crane for “Episodes,” a Showtime/BBC comedy series spoofing the TV business.

Showtime has ordered six half-hour episode of the series, which Crane created with Jeffrey Klarik, for a 2010 premiere on Showtime and BBC Two.

“Episodes,” which will start production in January in London and Los Angeles, centers on a successful British husband-and-wife comedy team thrilled by the prospect of producing an U.S. version of their hit series. But they are soon forced to replace the erudite British lead in the original with the quintessential U.S. comedy star, Matt LeBlanc, who will be playing a version of himself. They begin to sink deeper into the quicksand that is the Hollywood TV business ruled by a legion of network and studio executives.

The Good Wife Brings Down the Stars??

is dancing still queen?

Dancing With the Stars is on three days a week. It has hot stars like Kelly Osbourne and Aaron Carter. Ok, I meant it has somewhat relative stars from the last decade (well, Debi Mazar from Entourage is on and I just love her – but she’s in a neck brace, so …). But it’s been a ratings king for the last I have no idea how many years. Let’s just go with since the day it started.

UNTIL NOW!

Thank you Julianna Margulies and the awesomely new CBS hit show The Good Wife for bringing down the ‘Stars. The Good Wife, in only its’ second week, brought in 13.4 million viewers, beating ABC’s powerhouse show by nearly 1 million viewers.

This week, the chefs set out to make a dish for Bon Apetit magazine. It has to be both visually appealing and taste good. Dave gets nervous and can’t remember what’s in his dish while Tennille’s just looks straight up terrible. As always, Suzanne thinks hers is awesome. Does her arrogance finally pay off?

Some might wonder, given the season premiere’s developments, whether New Christine will be leaving the show. However, she’s still on both our TV screens and Richard’s mind as Christine looks for a way to cheer him up- and comes to a predictable solution.

The last episode was action packed, and we all saw Ziva’s return to NCIS. But between that episode and the start of this one some time has passed and Ziva has not been in contact with any of the team members. Which is kind of understandable, she has a lot to deal with after all being caught by terrorist and tortured is bad enough but to find out that your own father basically left you to die. That is quite the thing to overcome.
