When you have a solid ensemble of six people, chances are, there is always going to be someone underused. This week that prize went to Cece. Everyone has to put in their time, girl, sorry. However, I sure do love it when Coach gets to shine.

I tell ya, these Mikelson family reunions keep coming and they never turn out well. Don't they know that we are approaching the holidays and it's time to forgive and forget? Can you imagine what their Secret Santa party would be like? The horrors!

I think I say this every year, but this time I really mean it: This is the best season yet of THE WALKING DEAD. I was so consumed (heh, episode title) with this episode that I barely remembered to take notes. It was a gentle reminder just how invested in these characters I am and how devoted I've become to their well being.

If that's the penultimate episode of the mid-season, I think we're in some real trouble next week. Talk about action packed, every single storyline is headed for disaster and with only one episode to go in 2014, not even a second was wasted.

Mindy and Annette's already fragile relationship is put to the test when Mindy catches Annette committing a crime. And coming between an Italian Catholic boy and his mother is wading into dangerous waters.

Is living with your ex weird? (Yes.) How do you tell the new person you're dating that you live with your ex? (You don't, it's weird.) Jess and Nick are trying to explain their completely normal situation (It's not normal, it's weird) to the new people they're dating and failing miserably.

Tonight we lost a werewolf and gained a father. There were plenty of surprises in New Orleans tonight and did they really just make us change our opinion of Esther? Really? Let's see what our favorite supernatural group outside of Mystic Falls and Beacon Hills is up to.

I've come to learn whenever there is laughing or smiling of any kind on THE WALKING DEAD, it is just the calm before the storm. And tonight's episode was no exception. At least the cast members acknowledged Eugene's mullet and as it turns out, they think it's just as funny as we do.

One thing you can never accuse SCANDAL of is having a boring episode. There seriously is not a second you can look away from the screen without missing something. I reached down to get a drink of water and nearly missed Mellie overhearing Fitz's phone call with Olivia. I just need to learn to not eat, drink or breathe during these 45 minutes on Thursday nights.

I remember listening to John Oliver on the Nerdist Podcast back in 2011. Chris Hardwick asked him if for some reason any of the major news networks approached him about a job if he would be interested in working for a serious news organization. John Oliver laughed and said he would not as he was not a journalist. My, what a difference three years can make.

Mindy's return brings a guest-star filled episode and a much needed lesson to be learned about the importance of other people's time. Can Dr. C teach Mindy to value being prompt or will his Mom to do the real schooling… inadvertently?

NEW GIRL makes its triumphant return and they have blessed us with a bottle episode. All six of them in one room trying to get out of an awkward situation. Have mercy, the gang is BACK!

In her long awaited debut, guest star Nina Dobrev is vying for the Tatiana Maslany award for number of different characters played. “Tatia” makes her first appearance on tonight's episode as a past love of Elijah's. Now we have to figure out which Mikelson killed her.

After last week's church massacre, we took a giant step sideways and finally found out what Beth's been up to. And as it turns out, training with Daryl Dixon certainly does have its advantages. Beth has kind of turned into a badass.

The Holy Wars have begun to invade France whether Francis likes it or not. It's time to stop being distracted by babies (or lack thereof) and start ruling.

“Don't say that. The words used to describe women. If she was a man, you'd say she was formidable or bold or right.” Amen! I love how even in the soapiest of political drama, Shonda Rhimes can still sneak in a lesson or two. So take that, Fitz, don't be calling Olivia's friends (or women in general); “bitches.”

Back in the late 1990's before vampires sparkled, there was a town called Sunnydale that was home to Buffy. She wasn't just an average teenage girl, she slayed vampires. Spun off from the 1992 movie of the same name, the TV series, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER ran from 1997 – 2003. A little known fellow by the name of Joss Whedon brought a new kind of heroine to our small screens and vampires were in our lives to stay.

The Mikelsons would be a family therapist's dream. Between severe Daddy issues and a wide range of Mommy issues, these poor boys don't stand a chance. And don't even get me started on Rebekah. I think they all need one big road trip to Wally World in the family truckster. #datedreferences

If you're tired of everyone gushing about how THE WALKING DEAD is the best show on television, you probably won't enjoy this recap. When the creators say that each episode will get better and better, they weren't lying. It is almost ludicrous how good this season is already.

Still a little scarred after FX cancelled one of my favorite television comedies, LEGIT, I was skeptical to check out any new shows. Even though I've been a faithful fan of THE LEAGUE for years, I doubted their decision making after losing such a gem. When I saw the preview for YOU'RE THE WORST, it amused me. But hey, trailers have led to disappointment before. What a delightful surprise.
