Glee: It’s Britney, Let’s Bitch [Video]

All the Gleeks waited patiently by their televisions last night hoping to be wowed by the much-hyped Britney Spears episode of Glee . Yes, it was fun, but something about it just seemed, well, wrong . More

Last Night on Community: ‘I Don’t Like Where That’s Going’

Uh-oh. Having been a major cheerleader for the first season of Community — and having done a Derek Jeter-like fist pump when NBC wisely renewed the under-watched comedy for a second season — my hopes were high for the season premiere. Maybe that was a mistake.

Gossip Girl: We’ll Never Have Paris [Recaps]

Au Revoir, Paris! Bonjour, Stinktown. Last night was the last of our two faaaabulous Paris-set episodes, in which we saw Blair and Charlene Bass reunited, among other dramatic things. More

The Mike & Molly Fat Joke Tracker: ‘She’s a Brick House’

There is only one reason why you, esteemed readers, would watch Chuck Lorre’s formulaic new sitcom about a pair of overweight Chicago lovebirds: the fat jokes. And boy, are there fat jokes. (Well, if you define a fat joke as “any line about beefy gals and White Castle drive-thru deaths followed immediately by a cringeworthy laugh track.”) And now, thanks to Movieline’s new weekly feature The Mike & Molly Fat Joke Tracker, you don’t even have to sit through the CBS show to catch the most offensive jabs. Herewith, last night’s tasteless disses from the Mike & Molly pilot.

‘Jesus, What a Mess’: Mad Men Recapped

Every season of Mad Men has its defining WTF moment. Take Betty’s pellet-gun prowess in season one, or Freddy Rumsen’s pants-peeing in season two, or last season’s Great Lawnmower Foot Severing of 1963. The series wouldn’t be the same without these breathtaking, pitch-black detours into Mathew Weiner’s id (for better or worse), and the current season of the series wouldn’t be the same without its frequent journeys to that well for dramatic reckoning, comic relief and/or the sheer exhilaration of point-blank, old-fashioned shock. And if this year we’ve indeed seen both the best and the worst of what Mad Men has to offer, then it only fits that we have finally seen its weirdest. But was it worth it?

Real Housewives of D.C.: Give Me Shelter [Recaps]

Last night we thought it was the finale, but we were wrong. It was just another episode full of the typical horrors. But vaguely interesting horrors. Good lord, are we starting to like this show? More

Edgy Family Situations Tackled in Last Night’s Parenthood, Including the Birds, the Bees, and Billy Baldwin

The Bravermans — everyone’s favorite upper-middle class TV family who thinks that their problems are the end of the suburban world as they know it — returned for a second season of Parenthood last night, and the show proved that it is not screwing around in its sophomore year by immediately tackling completely original family issues, like talking to your children about sex. Yes, NBC is going there . Below, Movieline sifts through the luxury sedans and incidents of white angst to identify the four edgiest family situations dealt with in last night’s second season premiere, “I Hear You, I See You.”

The Gossip Girl Pun Index: Forget Paris

Welcome back, Upper East Siders! The season premiere of Gossip Girl arrived last night with haute couture, the Eiffel Tower and… well, not much else. It was a quiet kick-off, without much scandal, sass or Chuck Bass. Not even Gossip Girl herself seemed on her game — though kudos to Kristen Bell for wrapping her tongue around all those heavy French vowels. Voulez-vous puns? To the index!

Mad Men: The Power of Poontang [Recaps]

As so often happens on Mad Men , last night was all about the ladies. Well, it was all about Don’s relation to the ladies. And then there was that funky new narrative voice-over device. More
