Funny lines and interesting or annoying plot points of the week:
Reaper: Wise words from the devil: "That's what happens when you play chicken with a train, the train will never flinch."
Big Bang Theory: "Not only are there children starving in India, but there's an Indian starving right here," said Koothrappali. As for the narrative, how can Leonard and Penny pretend like they didn't makeout last week?
Bionic Woman: Tech guy Nathan was on surveillance while Jamie and her new boyfriend got all James Bond on a mission. His natural response when the villain refused to make eye contact with Jamie so she can get a retinal ID is: "Come on Casino Royale. I'm shaken and stirred." Corny? Yes, but still rather amusing.
Life: Like in every episode, Charlie gets under Dani's skin. This time he kept using a metaphor about cause and effect, like if a butterfly flaps their wings in California, it'll start some natural disaster somewhere else. Of course, he always has to run it into the ground, so you can't blame Dani when she says: "You mention that butterfly and I'm going to find it and rip its wings off."
Ugly Betty: Amanda and Mark were hilarious in this episode, including during her acapella version of Kelis' Milkshake. Mark, however, had the best lines. He told his schlubby boyfriend to dress up for Wilhemina's nuptials cause: "This wedding is so fancy Armani is wearing Prada." Now that's fancy. And when Amanda threatens to twist off his nipples with a wrench if he doesn't help her capitalize off of her relation to Faye Summers, he whines in a Queens' (the borough not the royal) accent: "Why a sudden interest in my boys?" Just to be fair, Wilhemina threw in a funny moniker I could see all over the TVblogs, referring to Daniel and his brother as "Danny and the Tranny." And I guess Posh deserves an honorable mention for at least not sucking.
Cavemen
This epsiode Nick focuses on one of his many pet peeves. There are some cavemen who are ashamed of themselves, so they pull a Michael Jackson and shave off their hair to appear homo sapien. Thus, they are known as "shavers." The funny part though was when he went to see the real estate lady to find out if a tennant was a shaver lying about his "race," and she forgot his name. So when he tried to sound out the first letter of it to jog her memory, she asks, "Are you growling at me?" Meanwhile, Sam was busy accidentally seducing Joel's girlfriend's best friend by displaying an uncharacteristic amount of road rage. What a funny little boy. Favorite line from Nick: "You know when you hate someone and then you find even more reason to hate them? It's like finding money in an old pair of pants."
