Happy Damon Elena Anniversary! Did you celebrate on Twitter today? Well, join me in another celebration tonight with all of Team Delena's must-watch: The Vampire Diaries (8/7c on the CW).
Damon and Elena apparently met a year ago, sparking the hottest love triangle on TV. Sure, Elena's been involved with Damon's brother Stefan for most of that year, but he's now turned off his humanity and isn't the guy, er, vampire, he used to be. Plus, in the past year, viewers have witnessed 2 (kinda) Delena kisses. Maybe the first one doesn't count because it was actually Katherine Damon was kissing. But he sure thought it was Elena, and it was one unbelievable moment. Then Damon was on his deathbed (he recovered, obvi), but Elena could not let him die without a parting kiss. Perhaps on this year anniversary we'll see a for-real, nobody's-dying-but-I-still-want-to-kiss-you make out sesh? Pretty sure they would've put that in the previews if that were the case, so we may have to wait a little longer for that.
But what we do know is that Uncle Werewolf himself, Mason, is returning. And he isn't too happy with Damon, who killed him by ripping his heart out. Wait, Mason died, so how can he be in Mystic Falls? It is that Halloween type of year after all, when anything can happen. Especially in a town full of witches, vampires, werewolves and hybrids. Damon and Mason in scenes together again? The combined hotness of these two supernatural beings just might be enough to light my jack-o-lantern.

Her week in review (w/o 10/16)
Happy Sunday, TV watchers! Hope you enjoyed this week's shows as much as I did. Here's the rundown:
Best self pep talk: The next time you need to build your confidence, try this one on for size: "Let's dialate. Let's do it, ya know what I mean?" Ok, so maybe it won't work in all situations. But it did for an about-to-pop Reagan on Up All Night. And I found myself rewinding the scene. It was that inspiring. Or hilarious.
Best quote: Thanks to Brad on Happy Endings for this little gem. "That waitress looks like she wants a piece of your downstairs goatee!" Oh, how I love me some Damon Wayans Jr.
Biggest witch news: No, it's not that Bonnie on The Vampire Diaries now has to compete with dead vampire Anna for Jeremy's affections. The Secret Circle has some even more crazy drama going down. Jake, brother of recently killed witch Nick, has returned to town. He has a rocky past with Adam, used to date Fey and broke her heart, and now appears to possibly be interested in Cassie, who, according to what's written in the stars, is supposed to be with Adam, even though he's dating Diana. Diana just learned of this, and tired of watching Adam make googley eyes over Cassie all the time, tells him to figure out his feelings and breaks up with him. But, back to Jake. Since he's of the same bloodline as Nick, he now completes the circle again. But does he know he's a witch, yes he does. But, his real reason for returning to town? To kill all the witches! Now that is one messed up dude witch.
Biggest loss: Now, I don't watch sports on a regular basis. So the only thing I could be talking about is Team Meatball! You know, Snooki and Deena. These ladies sure had a rough night on the Jersey Shore Reunion. Snooki saw clips of some of her roommates saying they might believe the Situation was telling the truth about them hooking up, something she adamantly denies. She even called her non-meatball BFF JWoww. a bitch. Damn, Snook. That girl followed Gionni all over Italy until her feet bled for you. And Deena - did you see that hair? Girl was about a week and a half early for Halloween, looking all like Elvira. Meatball problems!
Favorite moment: Beckett, trying her hardest to push aside her feelings for Castle (for some reason unknown to me), can't help but be jealous when another woman shows some interest in him. She tells her therapist, "He's supposed to be my partner, on my team. Not - smitten." See, you know you love him, detective. Even the aforementioned woman caught on. She told Castle she doesn't take things that belong to someone else. Fingers crossed this is the start of Kate letting her real feelings come through.
And finally, what?!? There really isn't a better way to reference the craziness that went down on American Horror Story this week. We learned that back in the day, creepy neighbor Jessica Lange shot her husband as well as the young version of the maid, IN THE EYE, when she saw them on the bed together. That same maid's body is buried in the backyard, although she continues to roam around, seemingly alive, as a housekeeper men see as her younger hot self and women see as an old lady with a wonky eye. Another man who used to live there kept unborn fetuses in jars in the basement. Current "murder house" owner Ben thinks he may have killed one of his patients, but can't remember because hot young maid might be drugging him. Lucky(?) for him, turns out the patient just slit her wrists attempting suicide in front of him, but he didn't do it. Unlucky for him, the young student he cheated on his wife with back in Boston shows up saying she's going to have his baby, not get an abortion like they discussed. But then as they exit the house, another creepy previous owner of the house (who has burns all over his body because he tried to burn it down with him and his family in it - they didn't make it) clocks the young woman in the head with a shovel, killing her instantly. Then he offers to bury the body but tells Ben he sure could use some money. So...that's the long version, best summed up as, what?!?

Her Thursday must-watch (10/20)
Why aren't more of you watching Community (8/7c on ABC)? Today it made TVGuide.com's list of 10 bubble shows that could be canceled if ratings don't turn around soon. After I screamed, threw my remote across the room and screamed out "No, Abed, say it isn't so!", I told myself there was simply no other must-watch option for tonight. And now I'm telling you, ya hear?
To answer my own question posed in the first paragraph, maybe people are too busy watching Big Bang Theory, The Vampire Diaries and now the X Factor Results Show. And I get that. But Community deserves some eyeball lovin' too. For you Big Bang Theory fans, it features a community college version of Sheldon, who is even more robot-like if you can believe that. For those devoted to The Vampire Diaries, Community also features a love triangle (Annie-Jeff-Britta) that just might even turn to a square (enter Troy). And viewers of The X Factor, you're sure to hear some musical numbers from this gang almost every week.
(Did I mention last week's episode single-handedly made me think back on every moment of my life. A simple roll of a dye could take you down 6 different life paths, man!)
So please TV fans, I beg of you, watch Community. I stand by this bubble show, and I am in no way ready for that bubble to be popped. Mama could lose an eye! Not to mention a little piece of my heart. The part that laughs at ridiculously amazing comedy.

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 week in review
Over the last week, we've said goodbye to Charlie Harper on Two and a Half Men, hello to many new fall shows, and most importantly, started the He vs. She on TV blog! So here comes my very first week in review.
Best use of abs: This one's a tie between Ashton Kutcher and that guy on 2 Broke Girls. Unfortunately, Max (Kat Dennings) breaks up with gorgeous ab-guy with those things on the side by the end of the 2 Broke Girls pilot, so I'm afraid we may not see his again. Fortunately, Ashton aka billionaire Waldon Schmidt's midsection almost distracted me from his ridiculous long hair. Almost. Here's hoping he cuts that pronto. Hair can make or break a show. Just ask Felicity.
How long can they possibly keep this going award: And the winner is, 2 Broke Girls. I actually thought the writing was clever and laughed a lot during this first episode. But in the final scene we learn Max and Caroline (Beth Behrs) plan to save their waitressing tips to open a cupcake business, and their current tally is shown to us in the last shot. We can only assume that each episode will end with an updated tally, and so I ask, how long can they possibly keep this going? Somewhere in TV land the How I Met Your Mother folks respond: "Well, we're on our 7th season, so, maybe longer than you'd think."
Biggest comeback: Congratulations, Up All Night! You went from a so-so premiere to a pretty decent second episode. Will Arnett's Chris Brinkley just may be my new favorite funny guy. His delivery of such notable quotables as "I said teqweela" and "These pants are tight, but they look great" may keep viewers coming back enough to keep this show off the chopping block.
Most pleasant surprise: I have to admit, I didn't even DVR The Playboy Club out of the gate. But I watched it later in the week On Demand, and I'm glad I did. Eddie Cibrian is extremely likable as Nick Dalton (I see the attraction, Leann Rimes). As is Amber Heard as bunny Maureen. Add to that some very interesting main and side story lines, and this show has been bumped up to DVR worthy for me. I hope enough other people give it a chance and stay tuned that it doesn't become an early casualty in the fall lineup.
Most disappointing: It pains me to say this about the fictional love of my life, but most disappointing of the week goes to Damon's (Ian Somerhalder's) hair on The Vampire Diaries. My sweet Damon, why are you letting those gorgeous locks grow and trickle down the back of your neck? Remember, you're a vampire, not a werewolf.
Quote of the week (that also makes up for the "Most disappointing" award above): In response to The Vampire Diaries' Elena (Nina Dobrev) asking why he needs to hear her say that she cares about him, Damon says: "Because when I drag my brother from the edge and deliver him back to you, I want you to remember the things you felt while he was gone." Suh-woon. Can this character be any more amazing? I can't wait for the inevitable round two of this pair's near-deathbed kiss. Sorry, Stefan. You can suck it.
And those are my highlights of the week! Share your thoughts in the comments.
