CourtneyK watched AMERICAN HORROR STORY and lived to tell the tale!

Has there ever been a certain house on your block that causes you to walk just a little faster to pass it? The sense of foreboding wafting off the porch, the feeling that the windows are actually looking at you and the house has teeth and the call is coming from inside the house??!?!?!  *ahem* Sorry, I was hearing the ominous screech of violins which always indicates “BE TERRIFIED IMMEDIATELY”. Frankly, every time a promotion for the newest FX show

Quick Take: The Return of HAPPY ENDINGS

Last year, a plucky little show debuted with so little fanfare and double entendre that initially had me grimacing. With her infinite wisdom, Amrie (in all CAPS I believe) recommended I give at least one episode. I fell in belly-laughing love. The rest, as they say, is history! Tonight, much to my giggling delight is the season premiere of HAPPY ENDINGS on ABC at 9:30/8:30c, after MODERN FAMILY. The opening sequence is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen,

Quick Take: CourtneyK is falling off the GLEE-wagon

I said I’d give it one more go. I’m trying. I really am. All the elements I love are present: Idina Menzel guest starring, Kurt being super great, Brittany is being stupid, Mercedes being sassy, Artie being adorable, Sue being terrible. However along with the good, comes the very very bad. I admire Lea Michelle and her pipes, but I swear if I have to watch her “pinched-face-collapse acting” through her singing I shall be forced to fast forward through

Catastrophies and Drama? CourtneyK is sticking with GREY’S ANATOMY

Is there still a major frothing at the mouth fanbase for this show? I’m going to assume that there is, event though the last time GREY’S won an Emmy was…let’s just say awhile. I’ve become a late frother; watching GREY’S in syndication and online has captured me, so I’ve been really eager for the Season 8 premiere which, thankfully, is going to be a 2 hour event! This completely unrealistic look at the inner workings of a major hospital in

CourtneyK thinks UNFORGETTABLE is worth remembering

(Amrie Note: Yes, I realize that’s a cheesy title, but I couldn’t help myself….) Confession time: about 1/3 of the way through the viewing of this new CBS drama, I found myself wondering “Wait…what’s the name of this again??  Don’t be fooled, I actually liked UNFORGETTABLE, premiering Tuesday 9/20 at 10/9c on CBS; but for some reason I couldn’t recall the name! Blame watching too many screeners. We first meet striking redhead Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) in a Queens, NY

CourtneyK thinks Bunny costumes might be on the uptick this Halloween – checking in on THE PLAYBOY CLUB

With the huge success of MAD MEN, the networks have all scrambled to find a unique way to cash in on the popularity of the 1960’s themed television shows. THE PLAYBOY CLUB is NBC’s hat thrown in the ring. Set in the Hef’s original Chicago club, champagne corks pop and Bunnies smile warmly at key holding patrons while fending off unwanted advances; THE PLAYBOY CLUB gives a fictitious account of events behind the scenes at this world famous institution. Bunny Maureen

Monday Quick Take: Amrie and CourtneyK agree to disagree about 2 BROKE GIRLS

2 BROKE GIRLS premieres tonight on CBS after the Ashton-Kutcher-filled TWO AND A HALF MEN premiere (the show moves to its regular timeslot following HIMYM next week).  Amrie and CourtneyK both watched and found themselves possibly watching two different shows. In the Pro Corner: CourtneyK What happens when you take a cynical, busty brunette and pair her with a skinny, formerly privileged blonde in a Brooklyn diner? No, not that sitcom. No, not that one either. It’s 2 BROKE GIRLS

Courtney K previews the CASTLE premiere and beyond

Last season’s mind blowing realization that our cuddly Captain Montgomery was a part of murder of Detective Beckett’s mother was not the biggest thing to happen…CASTLE ADMITTED TO BECKETT what we ALL KNEW to be true, he loves her! Naturally this came while Beckett lay bleeding out from a gunshot wound…but hey, we’ve been waiting for him to say it for MONTHS, at least he said it. I’m getting a little ahead of myself; allow me to back up. As

Will Courtney K be watching THE SECRET CIRCLE?

*ahem* In a world dominated by vampires and werewolves….now a show about WITCHES! Did you hear that in a deep gravelly voice?? No? Ah well. On we go! The airwaves have been inundated with bloodsuckers and shedding monsters for months, if not years! There has been many a show with Witchy-poo supportive characters, but no leads: THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, TRUE BLOOD, SUPERNATURAL, TEEN WOLF, to name a few. Could it be that BEWITCHED, SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH, or CHARMED were

My Take Too: UP ALL NIGHT is what Courtney K has been waiting for

This. This show is the show I’ve been waiting for. Everything I’ve ever seen about parenting on television has been eradicated. The saga of Reagan and Chris Brinkley (Christina Applegate and Will Arnett respectively) and their brand new bouncing baby girl (who is so cute you may go into seizures) is a tale that has never been told before. With realistic and sarcastic humor! There’s no denying the comic chops of Will Arnett, but this role seems to be the
