Finally one of TV’s longest mysteries was solved, Brittany’s full name – Brittany Susan Pierce. All jokes aside this week’s episode was Britney Spears themed and Heather Morris got her first solo performance.
It was great to see Morris come to the forefront and she was definitely a standout in a disjointed episode. I love Morris’ effortless deliveries of her lines. When Glee first started, Sue’s (Jane Lynch) one-liners were a standout but slowly, Brittany’s character has been given more dialogue as the series progresses. She doesn’t disappoint with funny line after funny line. In Britney/Brittany one of Brittany’s favorite lines was “This room looks like the one on that spaceship where I got probed.”

Review: Community season 2, episode 1 “Anthropology 101
A new season and a new subject await the study group at Greendale Community College. Anthropology 101 is the subject and Betty White guest stars as the anthropology professor, June Bauer.
I felt like it was the first day of college for me, finally getting to see some of my favorite people after a long summer. With such a build up, I wasn’t disappointed by Anthropology 101 at all. The episode had me laughing throughout and was a gentle reminder to why Community is one of the best sitcoms on tv today.
The big questions from the season finale were what would happen between Jeff (Joel McHale) and Annie (Alison Brie) following their kiss at the Transfer Dance, and how Britta (Gillian Jacobs) would be after her love confession to Jeff. I was intrigued to see what path the characters would take

Review: The Middle season 2, episode 1 “Back to School”
The Middle is back for its second season and proves that being on top of things isn’t always necessary for some families.
It’s the first day of school for the three kids and as usual, the Hecks are unorganized. Frankie (Patricia Heaton) decides enough is enough and makes a plan to keep on top of things. It’s funny watching her and Mike (Neil Flynn) rush around trying to get the kids ready for the day. In contrast, the two of them actually work well together when they are dysfunctional.
The three kids are my favorite characters – they are so different from each other but equally make me laugh in every episode. Axel (Charlie McDermott) is having trouble adjusting his body clock since Frankie set an alarm for him. This leads to him barbequing late at night. Sue’s (Eden Sher) quest to be noticed is a regular occurrence. I enjoy watching her get excited about things. Having made the cross country team, she wears a heavy sweatshirt to show she’s part of the team, despite the fact it’s hot. I enjoy seeing how proud she is making the school paper because she ruins the prep rally. In other circumstances, a teenager would be embarrassed but she sees it as an opportunity to be known.

Review: Glee season 2, episode 1 “Audition”
We last saw New Directions placing third at Regionals. Now the students of McKinley High are back from their summer off. Some things have changed and some things have stayed the same.
Audition – New Directions is one member down due to Matt (Dijon Talton) transferring. The character Matt was never given a chance and I think it’s a shame for the actor. All the school clubs have placed their try-out sheets. While the Cheerios has pages of names, with a queue of students yet to sign, New Directions hasn’t got a single one.

ADVANCE REVIEW: RUNNING WILDE – SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 “PILOT”
I had the chance to review the pilot for Will Arnett's new comedy, Running Wilde. It premieres on Tuesday, September 21st on FOX.
The show teams Will Arnett and Keri Russell with the people behind Arrested Development and it’s enough to get anyone who’s a fan of them, excited.
I’ve been waiting to see Arnett in a regular TV role again as he’s one of those people that make me laugh no matter what he does. His guest appearances on 30 Rock and Parks & Recreation weren’t enough for me. I was wondering how casting Russell with Arnett would work as I’ve only seen Russell in Felicity. After viewing the pilot, I’m still on the fence about the duo.

Returning shows I'm looking forward to
After waiting all summer, the time has finally come for the shows that ended in May, to return. Thought there are many shows I'm looking forward to returning, there are some that I'm looking forward to more.
The Vampire Diaries
This show was one of the best new shows last year. It had the ability to keep me on the edge of my seat every episode and its finale was no different. It was a finale that had me buzzing about it weeks after I saw it. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it from the very first episode as I was rolling my eyes at yet another show about vampires but somehow it continues to be fresh.
Grey's Anatomy
Like The Vampire Diaries, it was one of my favourite finales but for different reasons - it played upon the emotions. We were promised a game changer and it certainly delivered. How the characters deal with the aftermath is the question.
Fringe
This show is in my top 5 shows and like the previous two, was one of my favourite finales. The show just keeps getting better with outstanding performances and storylines. With the alternative universe being shown more, the show looks to keep up its consistency of being something not to miss.
Community
This is one of my favourite comedies and if you haven't seen it already, just watch the episode Modern Warfare and you'll be hooked. It has one of the best ensembles with funny and consistent writing. I shall continue to review the episodes on Series.nu
Other shows that I'm looking forward to but just not as much
Parenthood
Life Unexpected
Modern Family
Cougar Town
Glee
Castle
The Middle
The Good Wife
Two shows that I was considering dropping form my viewing list were Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives but the casting of Katie Cassidy and Vanessa Williams respectively have breathed a new sense of anticipation for me and I shall keenly watch to see how both shows utilize the actresses.

Must Be The Music a breath of fresh air?
I have to admit that when I first saw the promos for Must Be The Music, sceptical was one of the words to describe my reaction. I rolled my eyes at the prospect of yet another reality music show.
Though I enjoy the initial audition stages of X Factor and Idol, I have grown tired of the latter stages of both these shows. The endless theme nights including songs that are performed every year have made be lose interest in the live shows.
No matter how well a singer performs week after week or how much I like them, it doesn't guarantee I'll buy their music. Just because you do an outstanding version of a Mariah Carey or Beatles song doesn't mean I'll purchase your album.
