Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Thursday, October 20, 2011

I recently sent a friend of mine my TV-watching schedule and I think she thinks I’m crazy. Do you guys ever feel like your friends would judge you if they actually knew how much TV you watched?

RINGER Recap: ‘The Poor Kids Do It Everyday’

Jason Dohring is on RINGER!!!

OK, with that out of the way, I’m going to say that Monday’s episode of RINGER is the show’s best yet, and it’s mainly for three reasons:

• Jason Dohring, obviously.
• We heard, “You’ve reached Gemma. Don’t be boring,” at least three times. The irony made me laugh every time.
• Gemma may actually be gone.

Of course, there are other reasons why this week’s RINGER was so good, so we will get to those below.

Does anyone else love ABC as much as I do on Wednesday nights? First, they have their comedy lineup of THE MIDDLE, SUBURGATORY, MODERN FAMILY, and HAPPY ENDINGS (which is a-mah-zing!) and then they bring the drama with one of my new favorite shows of the season, REVENGE!

The streets of Rosewood are festive and little kids are running around the streets hoping for a good year of trick or treats and five best friends are looking forward to the biggest party of the season.

But with a new girl in town to challenge Ali for Queen Bee dominance, Spencer possibly losing the class president election along with her parents’ approval, and a shocking revelation for Aria about her father – there may be more to worry about than finding the perfect costume. With all of the tricks and treats floating around Rosewood, there may be something more sinister waiting out there for Ali and her best friends.
