I don’t want to jinx myself and gush about where TVD is going given the events in “Rescue Me.” But I’ll take a chance and say the writers are headed in a great direction.

TV News: Syfy Renews Helix for a Second Season
Yes! Best news ever! Well, not really ever but in a long time. I am an avid fan of Helix so Syfy announcing its renewal for a 13-episode second season just delights me. I’m not thrilled with having to wait until winter 2015 for the season two premiere but I’ll take what I can get, especially since the season one finale airs tonight at 10 pm.

The Race is On. Review: The Americans – “The Deal”
“The Deal” is a very interesting episode as it gives us an inside look at the political workings of three powerful countries, each with its own reason for wanting the Soviet defector. It also delves further into Elizabeth and Philip’s marriage, and leaves you feeling sorry for Baklanov, the pawn in the game the world powers are playing.

Are You In the Mood? Advance Review: Surviving Jack – “Pilot”
Surviving Jack is a comedy based on best-selling author Justin Halpern’s autobiographical book, “I Suck at Girls.” Set in 1990s Southern California, the show kind of reminds me of Shit My Dad Says but as a younger version. Meloni plays this buttoned-up doctor, Jack Dunlevy, who is taking over the household duty of looking after the kids, both teens at this point, while his beloved wife goes back to school to fulfill her dreams of becoming a lawyer. Well, let’s just say Jack doesn’t really have quite the finesse Joanne would in certain situations and what ensues is nothing short of awkward hilarity with some eyebrow raising, laugh out loud fun.

Keep Calm and Follow Daryl. Review: The Walking Dead – “Us”
The writers take us for a little ride on the doubt train. Is everyone heading for their ‘final destination’ or are they finally going to find refuge? I don’t think Terminus is all it’s cracked up to be.

Billy Crystal’s Award Winning Broadway Show, “700 Sundays,” Comes to HBO
Billy Crystal has long been one of my all-time favorite actor/comedians. He cracked me up in such movies as the 1989 iconic movie, When Harry Met Sally, and the 1999 laughfest, Analyze This, as well as his brilliant turn as Jodie Dallas in one of television’s funniest nighttime soaps ever, Soap. So I am beyond excited to see Crystal’s new special, 700 Sundays, debuting April 19, 2014 at 9:00 pm ET/PT on HBO. 700 Sundays is Crystal’s sixth HBO special and is an adaption of his autobiographical long running, Tony-winning Broadway show.

Wesen Ring Master. Recap: Grimm – “The Show Must Go On”
Can you smell the caramel corn, funnel cakes, cotton candy, and animal dung? Welcome to the “Carnival Metamorphosia” where Wesen aren’t afraid to show their true nature…or are they? The evil ring master, Mr. Hedig (guest star Carlo Rota), isn’t one to suffer fools and with a crack of his whip, elicits forced “woges” from each Wesen on stage for all to see. It’s not really “magic” or elaborate Chinese masks as the audience is led to believe.

Goodbye. Spoiler-Free Advance Review: Psych – “The Breakup”
Following the events of “1967: A Psych Odyssey,” I questioned whether Psych had used up much of the emotional storylines most shows save for their series finales. After all, we saw the departure of Chief Vick (Kirsten Nelson) and Juliet (Maggie Lawson), and then, in “Shawn and Gus Truck Things Up,” it looked like we were saying goodbye to Henry (Corbin Bernsen). By the time we get to “The Breakup,” it appears most of the goodbyes have been said

Huh? Review: Psych – “A Nightmare on State Street”
Several months ago, Psych fans were invited to vote for an episode they would like to see aired. The fans picked one titled “Dream Therapy,” which would later become “A Nightmare on State Street.” As with most Psych horror-themed episodes, “Nightmare” was directed by James Roday who wanted this to be the mother of all homage episodes. This idea works as long as you’re a horror fan; unfortunately, I am not.
