Her Monday must-watch (10/31)
Happy Halloween TV fans! I have only two words for you on this spooktacular night: slutty - wait for it - pumpkin. This How I Met Your Mother episode (8/7c on CBS) is several years in the making. So who is she? Three hints: not the mother, traded Pacey in for Tom Cruise and gourdgeous! Grab yourself an embarrassing amount of candy and tune in.

Her Monday must-watch (10/10)
What, they couldn't get Harold, too? Tonight's must-watch (How I Met Your Mother, 8/7c on CBS) features Kumar himself (Kal Penn) in a guest starring role alongside old Harold & Kumar costar Neil Patrick Harris. That's right, serving as associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement (Kal's position after taking a break from acting aka offing himself on House) just couldn't compare to the allure of Neil Patrick Harris. But what can, really?
In addition to this brounion, I'm also excited to see Kal's character Kevin make the leap from from Robin's therapist to her love interest. Could he finally help Robin get over NPH's character Barney? I'm guessing no. Again, who can, really?
There are only 2 things we know for sure: 1)There are frozen mini White Castle burgers in my future, and 2)Kal is NOT the mother.

Her week in review (w/o 9/25)
Let me just start by saying I think I'd be happy if all channels aired nothing but The Vampire Diaries and New Girl at all times. I love these shows! They are, to steal Penny's word from Happy Endings, a-mah-zing. But there are many other shows to watch, and you know I'm watching 'em. So here's my rundown for the week.
Best shower scene: Don't get any ideas. On Modern Family, Gloria was yelling at Jay about coddling their dog, Stella, as he was lathering up in the shower. Cut to near Jay's ankles, where the adorable pooch was sitting on the shower floor. "What?" Jay said. "She tries to drink the water. It's funny!" Agreed. And so is this show.
Cutest fight scene: On The Big Bang Theory, the usually unemotional Sheldon was not too happy when Leonard was speaking fondly about Sheldon's equally socially awkward friend, Amy Farrah Fowler (you know, Blossom). Cue Sheldon, wearing a flannel bathrobe and train conductor hat, karate chopping Leonard in the shoulder. "She is not for you...Not. For. You." Aww Sheldon. We love you even more than we already did. Bazinga!
Best verbal rally: This could also be called the most ridiculous conversation ever. On How I Met Your Mother, check out the back and forth that happens when Lily tells Barney what he can do if he wins the bet they've made. Lily: I will let you touch one boob. Barney: Both boobs. Lily: Just one. Barney: Touch and squeeze. Lily: Just touch. Barney: Touch and motorboat. Lily: Just touch. Barney: Honka honka? Lily: Barney. Barney: Just touch. Lily: Just touch. Barney: For one hour. Lily: For one second. Barney: For 20 minutes, both boobs. Lily: 20 seconds, one boob. Barney: Four minutes, both boobs, three squeezes. Lily: One minute, one boob, one squeeze. Barney: Deal. And he almost won the bet, but Lily distracted him with something. I'll give you two guesses.
Best celebrity dancing moment: No, not Nancy Grace pulling a Janet Jackson. On Jersey Shore, Snooki heads to the bar of a restaurant to drink away her sorrows the day after her visiting boyfriend Gionni left her in Florence. Then she starts to bust a move. Alone. In the middle of a restaurant. In the middle of the day. "I'm heartbroken. So let me dance!" she yells at the restaurant patrons. We've all been there, right? After a tough break up, sometimes you just gotta dance it out. Snooki also tried to forget her pain another way: hooking up with Vinny that night. Oh Vinny, you used to be my favorite.
The "Dude, that's harsh" award: This goes to Captain Kragen on Law & Order: SVU. Fresh off Detective Elliot Stabler leaving, Kragen tells Detective Stabler: "Elliot's not coming back, Liv...Let him go. And you can start by cleaning up his desk. We can't keep it as a shrine." Dude - I mean Captain, Sir. That was harsh.
Quote of the week: Any idea what character blurted out this doozy? "When a pony does a good deed, he gets a horn and he becomes a unicorn, and then he poops out cotton candy until he forgets he's magical, and then his horn falls off. And black unicorns, they become zebras." That would be Britney from Glee, who else? Heather Morris delivers Britney's ridiculous lines so perfectly in this show, I may have to devote an entire category to "Britney's quote of the week." We'll see.
Alright folks, that's it for now. What was your favorite TV moment of the week?

Her Monday must-watch
This may be the Fall TV lineup, but tonight marks the return of Summer! Rachel Bilson, best known as Summer Roberts on The O.C., stars as Zoe Hart on the CW's Hart of Dixie (9/8c), tonight's must-watch.
So just how has Summer fared in the post Seth Cohen era? Well, she played one of many is-she-or-isn't-she-the-mother love interests for Ted on How I Met Your Mother (she wasn't), and starred in the movie Jumper with her is-he-or-is-he-not-her-fiance anymore Hayden Christensen (I think not?). But the engagement I'm most interested in is that of an audience with her new show.
Will we buy this former spoiled California teen as a brilliant surgeon? Will the chemistry she has with any of the southern gentlemen she encounters in Bluebell, Alabama compare to that with nerdy, loveable Seth? Will this show live up to the hype I've created in my own head? If anyone can make the answers to all of those questions "yes," it is surely adorable, charming Bilson.
In related news, Bilson's former co-star Mischa Barton was featured in a segment on Access Hollywood tonight. Coincidence? Or the strategic maneuvering of Barton's agent? I'm guessing the latter. Assuming she even still has one.
