- I want the love affair between Community and Cougar Town to take that next step and actually have a cross-network crossover episode. ABC and NBC would need to work together in harmony to make this happen. Seriously, all this Cougar Town talk is working. I haven’t watched the show since early last season and now I’ve vowed to play catch up because of: 1) Community; and 2) The show’s buzz. It seems like lots of people are talking about how good this show has gotten.
- Speaking of Community, I think we need a feel-good Britta episode. She’s been called a buzz kill and was just fired from her diner job. To me, it looked like her boss despised her. Plus, she’s the alleged ruiner of men for Troy and Abed. She couldn’t even do the lesbian thing right. Something good needs to happen to her. Just once. Although I don’t think it should include another round with Jeff “Nipple Play” Winger. Also, Gillian Jacobs has been on fire lately, hasn’t she? I’ve been loving her portrayal so much. If you need an example, please watch Community’s “Custody Law and Eastern European Diplomacy.” I think that has to be her best episode of the entire series.
- I want the real Kevin Bacon to make an appearance on Chuck after this week’s episode (“Chuck Versus The Muuurder”). We met the Large Mart’s mascot — a pig named Kevin Bacon. Such an awesome pet name, by the way. That development now has me wanting an appearance from the Footloose man himself. It’s only right. And we all know, everything’s better with Bacon.
- I understand the CW hasn’t named its successor to Dawn Ostroff as of yet, however, I would really, really like for them to announce the renewals for next season sooner rather than later – just for my peace of my mind. Oh and Supernatural needs to be high on that list.
- I want a Season 4 Fringe Renewal Party to take place at Comic-Con this year. I also hope FOX’s Fringe will have a considerable presence at this summer’s convention because there are so many people that were made extremely happy by this week’s announcement. We need to bask in this big win together.
- I want to figure out how to get Tony Dinozzo’s origin story to air in March or April instead of May. The NCIS episode is called “Baltimore” and isn’t on until May 3. At the very least I want spoiler pics to be released so I can see if Michael Weatherly has made as incredible a transformation as Rocky Carroll did in his origin episode back in November.
- I would like ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars to tell us who “A” is. It’s an irrational want I have, but I’m owning it. We don’t have to wait too long until the second season returns (June). But the recent Season 1 finale has whet my appetite for more answers. Who do I have to text to find out? Anyone?
- I would like to see Richard Blais win Top Chef All-Stars. It’s down to the final episode. In his original season, Blais didn’t come through in the finale. This year, he’s been the most consistent. However, Mike Isabella is peaking at the right time. I don’t think the conclusion is a no-brainer, even though it should be. I just don’t want it to come down to Isabella having a good cooking day — a better one than Richard. Because even though Mike knows what he’s doing and has some serious cooking skills, the only possible outcome is Richard to me. Having said that, I’m not totally sold on Blais either. Actually, I am completely confident in his chef skills. I just don’t like the way he’s been acting, especially where the female chefs are concerned. So as much as I liked him in his season, the shine is kind of off. That doesn’t stop me from wanting him to take it all and become the Top Chef All-Stars champ. Anything less will be disappointing.
- I seriously hope Ralph Macchio and Kirstie Alley continue to wow the audience and the judges on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. They are the only two I’m interested in. So those are the only two dancers I’ll be keeping tabs on this season.
