Time for another week in review! One of my DVRs was actually 100% full earlier in the week, so I had a lot to watch and a lot of potential week in review nominees to consider. But here are the winners.
Best quote: After Max and Caroline from 2 Broke Girls sneak back into Caroline's old house, specifically the closet, alarms sound when Max tries to grab a fur off the rack. "Why would you wire the furs?" Max asks Caroline. Caroline's response, with a bite guard in her mouth? "Everybody wires the furs, biiiiitch!" She just might be my favorite rich girl turned diner waitress ever.
A long way from Home Improvement award: Tim Allen's character on Last Man Standing sure has a lot more liberty to say things Tim the Toolman Tailor never could on network television back in his day. A couple quotes worth noting? "You slice it, mouth to anus" (don't worry, it's fish-killin' talk) and "It smells like balls in here." Tim, you just got this viewer to tune in for another week.
Most underused guest star award: Josh Groban appeared on The Office this week as Andy's brother. Josh. Groban. He must have sung, you say. Why, yes he did. It must have been incredible, you declare. No, no it wasn't. At all. You hire Josh Groban to sing a duet with the father from Seventh Heaven, and don't allow him to hit any amazing notes? I was more intrigued by Dwight's fire dance.
Oh no he di'int award: This one goes to Max on Happy Endings. While trying to scam tourists into paying for his limo tour, he informs one woman, "Sixty bucks a head, eighty if your head is larger, which you fall into that category." Oh no he di'int! I laughed. She paid. Everybody won. Now that's comedy.
Don't make me smack your pretty face, Beckett award: It's no surprise who wins this one. Dr. Oz. Kidding! Detective Kate Beckett from Castle, obvi. Now, I love Kate. I wish she'd let Castle frisk her sometime this decade, but I try to forgive her for playing so hard to get because I genuinely like her character. And then she goes and says something like this: "Damn, Castle, look at you thinking like a real cop." Um, hello? Where have you been practically every episode of this series so far? He's solved cases, saved lives, even your life for jeeper's sake. Give him a break. And a kiss. And that's an order.

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.
