Five Drinks Into Thursday Night TV: Andy and Erin! (I)

Tom Reviews The Office Season 8 Episode 19 "Get the Girl"

Okay, I dislike the Nelly character, but I really enjoyed that episode.

Tom Reviews The Office: Season 8 Episode 18 "Last Day in Florida"

I hope this is the last season of The Office. I think there's at least an okay series finale still in the bank somewhere that can be used to end this season and the series, and I hope the writers know this and can pull it off.

Tom Reviews Big Bang Theory: Season 5 Episode 15 "The Friendship Contraction":

Talk about a one trick pony. Big Bang Theory literally has nothing going on for it other than Sheldon. Wollowitz and Raj continue to play off the same joke of Wollowitz living with his mother. Leonard and Penny continue to dance around their relationship until I no longer care. The only part of the episode that was worthwhile was once again Sheldon. So until this changes I am no longer going to rate Big Bang Theory.

Rating: 6 out of 10.

Five Drinks Into Thursday Night Television: A good Office episode? (I)

Tom reviews The Office Season 8 Episode 13 "Jury Duty":

I loved this episode and that really surprised me, because I haven't liked The Office for a while. I feel like the series has gotten to a lull, and even when it's funny there isn't a lot of plot development. This episode was different. It gave me hope that the series will improve and come to some sort of satisfactory conclusion.

First off, I loved the cold open. Having taken part in a stage production of Footloose in high school, I have a special place in my heart for Footloose. And tearing up the warehouse was fun to see.

Five Drinks Into Thursday Night Television: Why are None of My Shows On? (II)

Tom's Take: Thursday Night for some reason has become my TV night. Normally I have several shows with new episodes on Thursdays, or if I don't then at least I take most of the night off to catch up on the shows I keep up with. Some great shows are on Thursday nights usually. The Office, Big Bang Theory, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and Community. Usually.

Tonight that was not the case. Sunny and Community are on hiatus, (I'm actually quite worried that Community might be on the verge of cancellation) and The Office wasn't on tonight. So all there was for me was Big Bang Theory. But I guess that makes my job easier, since this is the first of my TV review posts. So here we go!
