THE VAMPIRE DIARIES Takes a Stroll Down ‘Memory Lane’

Alright, I’ve learned my lesson – I will never go out on a Thursday night again.  Watching THE VAMPIRE DIARIES at 5 a.m. is not ideal. It’s just too early in the morning to properly enjoy Damon’s sarcasm and wit (but not too early to appreciate those dreamy eyes.)

This week Katherine was back and as you might expect, she’s being a huge pain in the ass.  After making some not too subtle advances on Stefan, he decided enough is enough and chained the girl in the basement in an attempt to find out her true motivations for returning to Mystic Falls.  Something tells me Katherine might have been into it…just a bit.

In a series of flashbacks, it was revealed that Katherine assisted George Lockwood in orchestrating the vampire burning – the very massacre that she was thought to be a victim of. In exchange for Kat’s help and her word that she would take his werewolf secret to the grave, George helped Katherine escape the night of the fire. Not knowing she already had a way out, both Damon and Stefan were killed and vampified trying to save the woman they love.  Men…such (blood)suckers.

GREY’S ANATOMY: ‘Shock to The System’

Two episodes into the new season of GREY’S ANATOMY, and things are thankfully starting to calm down a bit.  Don’t get me wrong – it’s not that I didn’t enjoy the intensity of last week’s episode (not to mention last season’s finale).  GREY’s has always done very well with intense storylines, and some of the series’ finest episodes have been its most suspenseful (bomb in a man’s chest, anyone?), but after all the emotion of the shooting and its aftermath, it was comforting to see them strike a lighter tone this week.  It felt like good old classic GA, complete with witty banter and angsty patients.

FRINGE: Peter and Olivia Take a Step Forward, Walter Gets More Than He Bargained For

Things on FRINGE are changing.

Peter and the fake “Olivia” are moving forward in a relationship that he spent two years forming with the real Olivia. Walter found out what the recently deceased William Bell left him in his will. And I can’t foresee any way in which either of those storylines wouldn’t have long-lasting consequences.

BONES: ‘The Couple In The Cave’

We at Give Me My Remote would like to begin this week’s BONES recap by wishing a hearty congratulations to Emily Deschanel on her recent marriage to actor David Hornsby whom we know from another one of our favorite Thursday shows, IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA! It’s great to see such a happy couple. Conversely, in this episode of BONES, we saw a different couple… who is doomed forever. And by that, I mean Booth and his new girlfriend, Hannah. Ey yo! I kid, I kid. Of course I mean the victims. I’ll be honest with you, this episode was the first hour of the show which I’ve ever been GLAD to see end. Not because I didn’t love it, because I did. It’s more because it just hurt so badly. But I think it’s a ‘good’ hurt that we must endure for the sake of our beloved Temperance Brennan and Seeley Booth. And we need to talk about it — just as we’ve faithfully discussed BONES here at GMMR for the past two and half years — so, let’s begin.

FRINGE: John Noble on Walter, Walternate, Peter and Olivia

Last week’s season premiere of FRINGE gave us a brief glimpse at “our” universe, but tonight’s episode will delve deeper, devoting an entire hour to the fallout from May’s alternate universe-traveling season finale.

As you’ve seen, Peter and “Olivia” are moving ahead with their new relationship — and Fauxlivia is determined to keep her cover intact by any means necessary.

And what is our dear Walter up to? Give Me My Remote caught up with the ridiculously talented John Noble on the show’s Vancouver set and we got his thoughts on the two different versions of his character, the state of the Peter-Walter relationship and whether Fauxlivia is still pulling the wool over Walter’s eyes.

Take a look…

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS: New Pic, Moments Later

Hanna may have been hit by a car, but she ain’t dead, folks!

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS doesn’t return until early next year, however the cast and crew are already hard at work on new episodes — this photo being evidence of that.

But we have to question if what we are seeing is real or a figment of someone’s imagination. ‘A’ at Hanna’s hospital bedside?

How could it be?

Have theories?

THE GOOD GUYS Welcomes Joshua Malina

Joshua Malina might be the new king of Twitter.

Less than a year after @JoshMalina used the networking site to score a role on BONES, he’s done it again, scoring a role on THE GOOD GUYS.

For those who haven’t been following his Twitter feed — and you should be — Malina has tweeted to and about the people who work on TGG, “trash-talking” his former WEST WING costar Bradley Whitford, telling writers he is game to take Whitford on, etc.

According to Fox — who confirmed Malina’s casting to Give Me My Remote — Malina will appear in the upcoming episode “Supercops” as Assistant Chief Josh Guthrie of the Bureau of Internal Affairs. Guthrie has earned the nickname “Cop Killer,” thanks to his knack for taking dirty cops’ badges. As you might have expected, Guthrie stumbles upon one of Dan’s old cases and sets his eye on Stark’s badge.

How epic is that showdown going to be? Cannot wait!

Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, September 30, 2010

I’ll be honest. It took me almost a full week to recover after last Thursday’s premiere night. So many shows, so little space on the DVR.  But I got through it. I hope you did too.  And I hope that you were able to figure out what your new Thursday evening lineup looks like. Share it with us in the comments below. Which shows are you going to watch live, DVR for later, or skip altogether?

Here are a few highlights from tonight’s TV lineup…

Steven finds his footing as father to his 9-year-old son; Dawn opens up about her family; Rolly, in Afghanistan, misses the big moments in Dawn’s pregnancy. [GMMR: Give us a shout if you watched MY GENERATION last week. Will you be adding it to your regular Thursday night schedule?]

The Big Bang Theory | 8pm on CBS
“The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification”

A surprise visit by Booth’s girlfriend, war correspondent Hannah Burley (Katheryn Winnick), forces Brennan to take another look at her relationship with Booth.

PARENTHOOD: I’m Cooler Than You Think

Small victories are often the sweetest. In a culture that is becoming both more interconnected via computers and smart phones and more impersonal because of texting and busier lifestyles, there are few substitutes for the comfort of simple human kindness. TV writers and producers have hit us over the head for years with stories of kids who suffer from a lack of parental love or involvement. Yet, we rarely talk about Moms and Dads as human beings, who also yearn for the satisfaction of their children’s good deeds, kind words, and respect.

Tonight’s PARENTHOOD sent an important message to parents who tuned in. It is ok to want your children to love you. There is nothing wrong with wanting to build connections with your kids. Isn’t that what raising a family is all about?

In this season’s first two episodes, Adam Braverman was buried under a cloud of workplace distractions. This week, Peter Krause reminded us why no other actor could play Adam with as much authenticity. Adam’s conversations with Kristina and Gabby about Max’s lack of social skills were brutally revealing, demonstrating how emasculating it could be for a father to think of himself as a stranger to his own son. However, Krause’s best moment was unaccompanied by dialogue. Early in the episode, Adam caught a glimpse of Max on the staircase, head buried in a video game and removed from the family dynamic, then watched Joel and Sydney completely in sync, planning a father/daughter building project.

It has become a tradition for PARENTHOOD to move me to tears, and the fearful look in Krause’s eye just slayed me. Powerful, powerful stuff…
