SpoilerTV - TV Spoilers

Ed installed a speed bump for her. How romantic is that.

This episode picks up where the last one left off, with the KISS still fresh on everyone's mind. Or according to Ed, the kiss Rosemary (Jean Smart) gave him.

Ed has his first Homeowner's Association meeting. Rosemary wants a speed bump and Ed doesn't. After the meeting he and secretary Marvin Dingle (Don Lake) both admit to carrying a torch for Rosemary.

Later when Ed and Rosemary are alone together, they start to bond a little. Rosemary asked him what he thought of the Cohens, Irving and Ting-Ting. To Ed's response, "Quite a pair." Rosemary makes a quip, "Yes, I think he got them for her." They both laugh at the joke.

When they seemed to be hitting it off, Ed offered to take Rosemary upstairs. He's going too fast for her. Maybe she should put a speed bump on him instead. She tells him that she believes in romance; she needs to be courted.

Needing a woman's point of view, Ed seeks Bonnie's advice. "Who courts at my age?"

Bonnie guesses the real reason why he might not want to romance Rosemary. "I think you are afraid to put your heart on the line, because you really like this woman, ... You've been burned. And I think you are afraid to let that happen again."

Ed makes his move at the Gloucester House Restoration party. He confronts Rosemary in his Navy whites, looking every bit like the captain of the Love Boat. (Just in case you didn't know who Captain Stubbing was.)

"If you're willing to give it a shot, I'm willing to take it slow."

Ed even had a surprise in store for her on the drive home, one which Marvin made Rosemary think had something to do with luring her to his bedroom. This upsets her and leaves Ed even more confused.

When she found out the surprise was the speed bump, he had installed on their street, she rushed into his arms drenched in milkshake, to let him know who her hero is, with a big kiss.

That's the surprise. He put in a speed bump.

Courting to be continued.

Meanwhile, when Vince starts growing a moustache, Henry bet he can grow a better one, in a week. In the end, Ed still thinks Vince looked like his mother and Henry got a burn when Ed peeled off his fake one.

Comments:
Tila Tequila's appearance had some people worried about the future of $#*! My Dad Says. Her Ting-Ting got the most jokes for any single episodes. I think they said Ting-Ting more than ten times in the whole thing. Including Ed's best line, "I just need someone to be an Irving to my Ting-Ting." It's certainly a lot funnier than seeing Marvin dressed up in ridiculous clothes that no self-respecting man over the age of twenty would be caught dead in.

What do you think?

As you've probably noticed if you've been watching FOX for more than 5 minutes, next Monday is the premiere of The Chicago Code. Take an early look at the pilot for Shawn Ryan's new drama series here. Are you excited to see a new series from the creator of The Shield, The Unit and Terriers?

The nightmare is over SpoilerTV, Parks and Recreation is finally back on the air. After being sidelined for Outsourced, our favorite government employees from Pawnee Indiana have made a triumphant return to both TV and their jobs, as we find out in the premiere episode “Go Big or Go Home”. My name is Karina, and I plan on reviewing the third season of Parks and Rec for you here on SpoilerTV. Note that I said ‘review’ and not ‘recap’. I’m not a big fan of recaps, and this show isn’t especially long at a 22min. runtime, and is also readily available online to view. Also I apologize that I’m currently a few episodes behind, I hope to be caught up before the next episode airs on Thursday!

So what was everyone up to during the Pawnee Government shut down hiatus? Ron Fucking Swanson was doing what all manly men do, chop wood. It looks like Tom’s friend and the most amazing bit character ever Jean-Ralphio helped him get a job at Lady Footlocker, where he does nothing but hit on the ladies all day, oh and buy ladies shoes for himself with his discount. Donna is telemarketing bulk orders of rubber nipples. No joke there, that’s funny enough as it is. And our lovable loser Jerry is living in a nightmarish hellscape of outdoor landscape oil painting.

After everyone is gathered back in City Hall we set up the conflict; despite the return of the employees there is still not enough money in the budget to do anything but maintenance and basketball. We later learn that there is some money available, but that Ben thinks giving it to the Parks department would be a waste. In comes Leslie with a plan to have Ann seduce Chris Traeger, played amazingly by Rob Lowe.

As much as I loved the performance of Rob Lowe last season, and the character in general, I was very worried about where they were going to take the character of Chris this season. Because was that, just a character. Like Superman on cocaine. Mixed with an unending supply of positivity and happiness. Hilarious, yes, but not very three-dimensional or believable for that matter. Well this episode was a game changer for Chris Treager, elevating him to not only an appealing character but an almost believable one. When Ann asked him why he is so positive all the time, he explains that he was born with a blood disorder and had three weeks to live, yet he’s still here and enjoying every week that he gets. I swear I teared up when I heard that, and for me at least it explains so much of the zany exuberance of the character. The likeability factory kept on rising when he is hit on at The Bulge, gently turns the man down, and then buys the men a round of drinks. And then the sadness when he finds out the date was a setup by Leslie. I’m completely sold at this point, and I hope Rob Lowe decides to stick around as long as he can, and the writers can make room for him.

Ben Wyatt on the other hand has yet to win me over. As the straight man opposite to Leslie, Adam Scott is given a more limited role than the other cast members, and the character has a backstory that’s been talked about but not much else. I’m hoping he’ll be more developed later in the season, as it’s clear they are trying to set him up as a love interest for Leslie.

The B-Story in this episode involves the growing conflict between Tom and Ron, thanks to the fact that Ron is now dating Wendy. Centering on the coaching of the youth basketball league, this sub plot isn’t as strong as the main plot but still delivers some of the funniest moments in the episode. I give to you the Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness. The amazing awesomeness that is this chart cannot be contained. I sent it to all my friends, printed it out and put it on my wall at work, and made it my Facebook profile picture. I suggest you do the same. My favorite is “Crying: Acceptable only at funerals and the Grand Canyon”. Post your favorite in the comments below!

Back to the game. Ron Fucking Swanson is coaching his kids to be mini-effing-Swansons, while our lovable puppy Andy is just playing around and having fun with the kids. And of course Tom is the Ref because he has his uniform from Lady Foot Locker. Tom sees Wendy with Ron and uses his position to foul Ron’s team in punishment, causing Ron and his team to storm off. The whole time I was feeling bad for Lucy, just sitting there, watching her boyfriend freak out over his ex-wife. I guess she’s used to putting up with a lot from Tom in general, what a trooper. Not sure how much longer the Wendi debacle will last, and we know that Megan Mullally will be back as Tammy II later in the season.

Our favorite sardonic assistant April returns from vacation in Venezuela, bringing with her a new boyfriend and a semi-upbeat attitude. And no it’s not Jhonny the intern, but a new man named Eduardo. He has clearly made an impact on her, as April was smiling several times throughout the episode! Not enthusiastically of course, but take what you can get. Andy is crushed, and Leslie tells him to “Go big or go home” in his quest to pursue April. And of course a distraught Leslie then takes her own advice, which leads us to…

The Harvest Festival! I am very excited about this; it seems like a great plot device to bring the gang together and to hopefully save the Parks department. Other more well-known reviewers have watched advanced screener copies, and have said that the planning for the Festival ends up being a great way to see other departments and businesses around Pawnee. I can’t wait to see more of the sewage department, and to find out how they end up with all the interns that look like hookers. And hopefully we’ll get to see more of those bastards at the Library.

This episode was a great start to the season, and promises much more fun and laughter ahead. The second season of Parks and Recreation was brilliant, and it looks like the third is going to be even better. I don’t think I’m overstating at all when I say that it is the funniest show on TV right now, so enjoy! I’ll see you again in couple of days for my review of the second episode, please let me know in the comments if you have any suggestions or ideas. Any constructive criticism is appreciated, really!

For all the negative headlines celebrities make, there are plenty of them out there who do some great things. I've introduced a new column for 2011 which will spotlight some faces in entertainment that deserve some special recognition. It's called simply: People Who Are Awesome.

January's honoree is the man at the top of my personal list: Burn Notice and The Game star Coby Bell. Check out what makes him awesome - whether it's blowing up houses or blowing up football plays - in the inaugural feature here.

Don't forget to see Coby Tuesday nights at 10 PM ET/PT on BET with new episodes of The Game, and in the summer when Burn Notice returns to USA for season five!

As dedicated Assistant District Attorney Justin Patrick on USA's new original series Fairly Legal, Michael Trucco has turned my head to the point of being near show-stealing. Recently, I had the pleasure of talking to the former Battlestar Galactica star to find out what makes the character of Justin tick, about his own Northern California upbringing, and how he has more in common with his on-screen alter ego than you might think.

I feel like I should apologize. I have realized I'm probably the only person on the planet who hasn't yet seen Battlestar Galactica.

Whoa. We’ve got something to talk about, then. All right. Let’s go.

I will say I'm starting. I just started because I was watching Jamie Bamber in Law & Order: UK. So I do own the series, I just haven't seen it yet.

Oh, cool. Well, enjoy the ride. You’re going to love it.

Speaking of love, I have to say I've really loved your work so far on Fairly Legal. Justin seems like he might be a tough role to play, though, because he'd be the protagonist of any other legal series but he's presented from a whole other angle here. So how do you approach him?

There is a certain aspect of taking a second seat in playing Justin. The show is centered on the character of Kate Reed, and you know that she’s been dealing with the other characters [like] her assistant Leo and her stepmother and her ex-husband, who I play. I think you have to reconcile with that as an actor. I don’t think it has presented any problems; there are advantages. My workload is considerably less than Sarah [Shahi]’s. That poor girl is in every shot of every scene of every day of every hour that we shoot. I definitely have a more cushy schedule.

But, in terms of the character, I don’t really see it as a deficit or a disadvantage. I think we explore the stereotypes of male and female characters on its head in this show. And that could make a certain challenge in playing a character that is the male prosecuting attorney, who would be the driving force behind the show, having to take a step down in the presence of Kate Reed.

You and I have something in common: we both studied criminal justice in college. Did that background help you at all in approaching this role?

We’re going a ways back there. I don’t really retain much from the first couple semesters of my criminal justice studies. When you [go] to college, you take some very general classes and I never got into the specifics of criminal justice because I changed my major so early into the process. Once I discovered the theater at Santa Clara and once I got into the theater program, I never got into specific criminal justice studies. I would say it has more to do with growing up in an atmosphere of law, being in the household of a police officer, that informs my role more than anything that I started to study in college. I’m [the] son of a police officer, and so the aspect of law and prosecution interests me greatly.

So would you say this role is particularly close to home, or close to who you are personally?

I think that has always been part of my DNA, the fact that my father was a police officer for my entire life growing up. Before I pursued acting full-time, I had every intention of going into some form of law enforcement work. So I think [it's] poetic. I’m close to it in this role as Justin Patrick. There’s definitely that aspect of law enforcement, but I think [one of] these days I would love to [put on] the police uniform, play a beat cop, on patrol, in the car, on a motorcycle, whatever the case may be. That would be great. I’ve never done that and I’d like to.

One of the things I learned during my experiences in criminal law is that lawyers, myself included, can be vastly different inside the courtroom than they are outside of it. What do you think Justin's courtroom personality is?

Well, hopefully we’ll get a chance to see it. I think Justin’s at where he is for a reason and I would venture to say—based on what we know about the background between Justin and Kate, they’re two type A personalities that are constantly butting heads—he’s a bit tenacious in the courtroom.

I have a feeling—what I bring to the character is that for Justin, unlike for Kate, the law is black and white. There is right and wrong. There is yes and no. There are winners and losers, just as long as I’m always the winner because as a prosecuting attorney, if I put you on trial, then you’re guilty or else you wouldn’t be there. So there is no ambiguity. There is no gray area, and I think that’s that a facet that Justin brings to the courtroom. Absolute clarity, absolute purpose and losing is not an option.

The other major storyline for Justin is his on-again, off-again relationship with Kate; though their marriage is ending, they're still involved with one another. It seems like he's not exactly content with that. What's going through his head?

They still have a relationship that would be considered "friends with benefits," so these two end up in bed together several times. Oftentimes, for the male in a relationship, that arrangement seems to be okay. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think what’s challenging here is that the writers of the show have given Justin the sort of moral perspective. He’s not copacetic with this relationship. He doesn’t like the way things stand. He wants some sort of [resolution]. I find that a unique perspective and one that is challenging in this character.

You're from the San Francisco area, and here you are shooting in Vancouver doubling for San Francisco. How's that been for you?

It’s funny. I’ve been reading a few of the reviews prior to the pilot airing and they said [something about] "with gratuitous use of CGI, the San Francisco background was put in,” but in actually, we shot, I think, three or four days in San Francisco for the pilot. So, what you see, at least in the pilot, that was Sarah on the port at San Francisco on a boat and that was the Transamerica Building and those were cable cars. There was a lot of production value that we brought to the pilot simply because we did have - albeit a few days, but they got a lot of work out of those few days in San Francisco for the exteriors.

I would love to shoot in San Francisco permanently. It would be such a joy to come back home full circle. I hope that if we continue on the series that there will be episodes in which we get to return to San Francisco for a couple of days just to shoot some more exteriors.

Vancouver is such a beautiful city; it doubles so well for San Francisco that I don’t mind it all. I mean, I love Vancouver, don’t get me wrong. Being there for Battlestar, it had become a home to me. I think Vancouver doubles great for San Francisco.

You led right into my next question - you've done a lot of projects in Vancouver. Is that coincidental or do you particularly enjoy shooting in the area?

It’s by request. I only take jobs in Vancouver. [laughs] No, it is complete coincidence. It’s not unknown that Vancouver is a huge destination for television and film. It has been for many years. It just seems to be that I’m drawn to the show that shoots in Vancouver.

I have to say, I like swore to myself in the last couple years that after Battlestar I would batten down the hatches and take only work in Los Angeles where I live, simply to stay a little bit more grounded. The one city outside of Los Angeles that would be the exception to that rule was Vancouver, simply because I have the history there, being there so often, and I just really like it there.

It’s beautiful and it’s an easy flight. We’re [in] the same time zone as in Los Angeles, so it’s not as taxing to travel back and forth, and I do travel a lot. I come back home almost every weekend or my wife comes up every other weekend to Vancouver. So, in that sense, we make it work. It’s just a great city. It’s a great country. They’ve been good to me and I have no problems being up there.

How exactly does one follow up working on a show as legendary and popular as Battlestar Galactica, anyway? This is about as far removed from that series as you can possibly get, as is your recent work on Castle last season.

[It's] probably fair to say that there is a certain amount of pressure to deliver your next role when you do have a fan-base as potent as the Battlestar Galactica family. Oftentimes, actors don’t have the luxury of picking their part. You go from one project to the next and you hope that you find one that fits you and that you’re suited for, and then they see that you’re fit for it. This one came along and—I don’t know. It’s so early in the run, and it’s so early in the season, that I don’t know what the feedback is and if it’s going to be embraced by the fanbase, but I'm hoping it will.

My thanks to Michael Trucco for this interview. Check him out on Fairly Legal, which airs Thursdays at 10 PM ET/PT on USA. If you need to catch up, check out my review archives.
