In Everybody Hates Chris Heroes How I Met Your Mother Jack Bauer
When we last left our Heroes (hehe), Claire was on the run with the help of Peter’s mom (!), Mohinder was on the ceiling, and the world was probably going to blow up any day now. Tonight, more stuff! I’m avoiding spoilers, so you’ll just have to read them yourself, or live in the moment.
Now that this season of 24 is drawing to a close, it’s safe to say that it hasn’t really lived up to the previous ones. Are we just sick of the concept? Are the writers? Or, optimistically, are they lulling us into a sense of false security so they can blow our minds in the finale?
Hey, Everybody Hates Chris is back! Watch it instead of How I Met Your Mother, which is a repeat. On second thought, HIMYM is a repeat of the Robin Sparkles episode, so that’s kind of a toss-up.
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: NBC, the network most often referred to as “classy,” has decided play against type and give up on classiness altogether by airing The Real Wedding Crashers, the most terrifying idea for a reality show ever. Look, just because the bride and groom are in on it doesn’t make it any less stupid, uncomfortable, and (most likely) unwatchable. Almost makes you think Aaron Sorkin had a point.
I think The Real Wedding Crashers is NBC’s (or Ashton Kutcher’s? Ooooh…) clever ploy to so devalue the institution of marriage in the minds of Christian conservatives that they will just throw their hands up in despair and proclaim that the gays can have it, good riddance.
Or maybe I was brainwashed by the GLAAD Media Awards.
