First of all, how dare you

Yes, I have neglected to post anything besides class work. But, I went a bit of a binge in my free time & took some notes! I’m still very far behind but I’m doing my best! So, without further adieu, here are summaries of the first two episodes of New Girl, an episode of Modern Family, and the crossover episode of Family Guy and The Simpsons!

New girl episode 1

Jess doesn’t want to go to a wedding. The gang makes a pact that they will all hook up with someone at the wedding. Coach doesn’t remember an old hookup. Cece returns without a boyfriend & Schmidt doesn’t know yet but he still wants to impress her. Jessica Biel shows up to the wedding & competes with Jess for the best man. Schmidt is striking out & he & nick were offered a four way with two girls. Nick doesn’t want to do the four way because he doesn’t want to be near Schmidt. Nick finds out that Cece is single & decides to do the four way to help out his friend. Schmidt decides he doesn’t want to do the four way because he found out that Cece is single. Jess & Jessica Biel compete for the best man & he cannot decided & they both give up. They all go home without a hookup & reminiscent about all of the weddings they went to over the summer.

New girl episode 2

Winston makes them go to his cop friend’s house for a party & they ruin it. Meanwhile, Schmidt set up 10 Dice dates for Jess & she learns how to dice. She finally gets the date that she wanted but ruins her chances. She calls him back & he comes back. She finds out he’s a magician & but goes on the date anyway. Winston gets his new police friends to mess with Coach, Nick, & Cece because he knew they were high. Winston finally made friends with the guys & got his very own nickname: Toilet.

Modern Family 

Mitchell & Cam are finally married. Cam is being super clingy with Mitchell & you can tell right away that it bothers Mitchell. The Dunphey’s are having a wonderful summer because Alex isn’t home. Alex is building houses for the poor. Gloria & Manny FaceTime Gloria’s family in Columbia. Jay has been dressing very comfortably lately & Gloria doesn’t like it. Mitchell is complaining to his sister Clair that Cam is being clingy. Alex comes home early & you can tell there is a shift in the balance of the house. She complained the entire dinner. As soon as Alex left the house, everybody started getting alone but when she re-enters the house, they fight again. Jay finds out that Gloria has been sending his clothes to Columbia. She tells him that she wishes he would dress better for her & then Gloria decides to stop taking care of her appearance. Cam surprised Mitchell at work & is showing his new coworkers pictures from their honeymoon. Mitchell & Cam have a fight & Cam says that he doesn’t want to lose the spark. Mitchell says that he will help more with the marriage & they make up. Alex is about to leave to go back & help build houses & a series of terrible events happen: ranging from the oven smoking, the fire extinguisher going everywhere, Hayley finding out that her webcam doesn’t turn off when she goes to a different page & everybody almost dying from eating Rhubarb leaves. Alex stays home instead. The whole family surprises Gloria for her birthday at the end.

Family guy

The Simpsons cross over! Peter is mad that the Denice the Menice cartoon wasn’t funny & decides to write a cartoon himself & gets published in the newspaper. The crew goes to the bar & Peter is given a free beer for his cartoon. The group gives Peter some ideas for cartoons. Lois gets mad at Peter for drawing a sexist cartoon. The whole internet is pissed off at Peter for the cartoon so he has to apologize for it on television. A ton of angry women show up at the Griffins protesting Peter’s cartoons. The family decides to get out of town for a few days. They stopped at a gas station & their car got stolen. They end up in Springfield, but we still don’t know what which state! They stole at the keik-e-mart. Homer shows up! He offers to buy donuts for the Griffins. Homer teaches Peter the correct way to eat a donut. The Griffins report their stolen car. Okay, I’m going to be brutally honest. I do not like the Simpsons. I could not watch the rest of the episode because I was just not into it at all. Sorry, not sorry.

Commercial!

Making this commercial was a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. I think the biggest problem I had was working up the courage to talk over the music. After getting used to it, I decided, “Hey, who gives a hoot. I may as well go all out.” So I talked in a weird voice and talked to myself. It makes me uncomfortable to listen to it for more than a fews seconds, which made editing it a little difficult. I used Final Cut Pro to edit the sounds together because I am used to the program. The editing was not really the hard part because I actually enjoy editing. I could not think of any songs that would go with my blog so I figured than it would make more sense to string together all seven shows featured on my blog and talk over that. I like writing commercials, it is something I think I would be fun to do as a career someday. I hate commercials that aren’t funny because if you can not get me to laugh, I am probably not going to buy your product (unless it’s a necessity). This was definitely out of my comfort zone and I absolutely hate the sound of my voice, especially on a recording! I will get over it eventually. I hope the commercial makes people want to check out my blog, because I worked hard on it. I think the best part of the commercial is the fact that I used the theme songs for all of the shows that I summarize. People do not usually pay attention to the theme songs, but this commercial helps people to realize that they know all of the words. Leave some constructive criticism to help me improve!

Pilot

This “Pilot” is to explain what my blog is about. I watch a lot of television. I want to work in television someday, so I consider it homework. On this blog, I will give summaries of the television shows that I watch weekly. I will recap and rate these shows on their respective days.

Setting up the blog was very easy. I have used WordPress before so I had an idea of what to do. It was difficult to come up with an idea for the blog but once the focus was chosen, I had no problem coming up with ideas for it.

I am very excited to start this project and I hope it fulfills everybody’s (and my own) expectations. The shows that I am most excited for this Fall are American Dad and Bob’s Burgers!
