03/18/2012

Hope you’re all recovering successfully from St. Patrick’s Day!

Hey there, ‘Gasmii. I hope you all partied safely and aren’t too hungover today!

Once Upon a Time (ABC 8pm) After Emma is forced to arrest Mary Margaret for the murder of David’s wife, Mary Margaret hires Mr. Gold as her attorney; Snow White continues to be affected by Rumplestiltskin’s potion.

I have to wonder how many of these plot twists were actually planned when the show was first conceived, or if they’ve realized that they have to make things more and more convoluted since it didn’t get cancelled after three episodes.

The Amazing Race (CBS 8pm) The teams search the king’s quarters in a castle;

things get tense during one team’s walk through a snowy maze.

Harry’s Law (NBC 8pm) Harry defends a school principal who wants to expel a student; Harry helps defend a former client who believes his sister was murdered by her husband.

NBC needs to defend why this god-awful Kathy Bates vehicle is still on the air.

The Simpsons (Fox 8pm) When Mr. Burn replaces most of the plant’s employees with robots that end up turning on the community, the people he laid off must come to the rescue.

Brent Spiner does the robot voices, which makes the TNG lover in me so very, very happy.

Frozen Planet (Animal Planet, The Discovery Channel, Investigation Discovery, The Science Channel, TLC 8pm) The polar regions experience extreme seasons and surprising animal behavior; polar bears battle each other for mates; surfing penguins; orcas who hunt collaboratively.

This show must have cost a hell of a lot of money to make if they are airing it on FIVE CHANNELS at the same time.

Bob’s Burgers (Fox 8:30pm) When a bank robbery across from the restaurant goes awry, Bob finds himself in the middle of a hostage situation.

Beginning the Sunday night “these shows are only funny if you’re stoned” block on Fox.

Desperate Housewives (ABC 9pm) The funeral of a beloved Wisteria Lane resident leads to the ladies remembering how this person impacted their lives; Bree is shocked when she is called in for questioning regarding the murder of Gaby’s stepfather.

I’m not sure why they’re being so vague about who died.

I guess the TV listings folks don’t read Hypnotoad’s recaps.

The Celebrity Apprentice (NBC 9pm) The teams are asked to create a viral video to promote a mop; as the men turn on one another, the women go out on a limb with a particular concept.

HULK SMASH!!!!!

The Walking Dead (AMC 9pm) Episode: Beside the Dying Fire

I see what they did there.

GCB (ABC 10pm) A seminar forces Amanda to confront the past; Heather goes after Andrew (Tom Everett Scott), a former high school nerd; Carlene meddles in Cricket and Sharon’s relationships to distract from her own marital woes.

Is everybody still pretending that the “B” stands for “Belles?”
