Her week in review (w/o 10/2)

It's almost time for Sunday night shows, so let's jump right in to my week in review.

Best quote: This one's a tie between Max and Caroline from 2 Broke Girls. (Note: If you're not already watching this show, add it to your scheduled DVR recordings stat.) Max to Caroline, when asked if she wants to get her nails done: "I have my own day of luxury already booked. I'm doing laundry and then the tasting menu at Wendy's." Caroline to a random at a bar who pulled her hair: "Those aren't extensions, biiitch!" I'm not sure which girl I heart more.

Best Brittany S. Pierce quote: I mentioned last week I might have to give this character her own quote of the week section, and she sure earned it in this week's episode of Glee. When questioning Rachel about not voting for her for Class President, "So you're cool with flushing McKinley High's future down the magical poop-stealing water chair?" I wonder how many more poop-related lines Brittany has in her arsenal. Keep 'em coming, girl.

Best comeback: Weddings can be emotional. Juat ask Nick on New Girl. (Or anyone who's ever been to a wedding, for that matter.) But this dude went from "locking" himself in a photo booth, crying hysterically, to busting out a slow-mo chicken dance to a Phil Collins classic. I may have even joined in myself, alone in my living room, just to see if I could do it. I may have. You have no proof.

Biggest lesson learned: This one comes from Darryl on The Office, who explained to Andy that his basement used to be, but is no longer, fabulous. "You can't air out a basement. And taco air is heavy." It so is.

You won me over award: I wasn't sure how I felt about Alex, Whitney's boyfriend on Whitney. But this week he had me lol'ing with his impersonation of Whitney. "MSG? Seriously? Like restaurants actually have to advertise not putting poison in their food?" Okay, this one is 90% delivery, so if you didn't catch this episode this week you have to check it out On Demand. I demand it.

Next to go, please: How to be a Gentleman. I really don't know what to say. I can understand why the idea for this show seemed appealing. But after it was cast and a pilot was actually screened, how did this show actually make it on the air? I think CBS is playing a joke on us. The network knows so many of its shows lead the rankings each week, they wanted to see if people would actually watch anything they put out there. And you know what, I am. Until you cancel it. So please, I beg of you, put me out of my misery.
