About Last Night…THE VOICE, COUGAR TOWN and GLEE

Guess what? Tuesday night TV didn’t make me cranky! Well, at least not for the most part. But that’s progress, right?

Let’s talk about what aired last night…

As harsh as I thought the coaches were on Monday’s episode of THE VOICE, I think Adam and Cee Lo by far made the correct decisions last night. Most of the singers were talented, but Cheesa and Katrina killed their solos. [If you want to see what the eliminated contestants had to say, I spoke with them right after the show. Warning: One of the interviews might make you cringe.]

I loved the unexpected bonding of Ellie and Laurie on COUGAR TOWN. (And the “jelly bean” nickname origin!) While Jules’ being unable to get to things thanks to baby-proofing totally had me flashing back to FRIENDS (oh, Joey), I’m really interested to see how (or if) they try and weave Grayson’s kid into this storyline in a more permanent way. Either way, I’m so glad the show is finally back on my television. (What? The two weeks off were hard!)

Oh, GLEE. I honestly don’t know how I feel about last night’s episode. On one hand, MATT BOMER! That man is so, so, so supremely talented, and he deserves the success he has. (If you’re not watching WHITE COLLAR, you should be.) However…so many characters are massively under-served on this show that to bring the focus once again to Blaine (a character I do enjoy) just felt frustrating. Remember Tina? Yeah. I’d like to know more about her. Can we have that, please? Also, as much as I just absolutely love the Darren Criss and Matt Bomer version of “Somebody That I Used To Know,” how did Fox not release their Duran Duran cover instead? Don’t release the entire last song of the episode! Sigh.

What did you watch last night? I still have RAISING HOPE, RINGER (which Rachel recapped here) and UNFORGETTABLE on my DVR, so let me know if you liked any of those, too!
