Oh, Gasmii, we have much to discuss. I am going to write up a quick recap of last week’s episode that, due to unforseen circumstances, is much later than it should be. (Unforseen circumstances = me getting in a car accident and being okay physically, thankfully, but if any of you have dealt with this in the past you know what a headache it is.) Please accept my apologies and let’s move on to the recap.

So, I actually enjoyed Mike’s storyline in last week’s episode. It was cheesy and all, but some of it was kind of nice. No worries, though, the rockers were their usual annoying selves, and this week’s episode featured plenty of ridiculousness.

Hey, ‘Supernatural’ fans. Well, I’m part-way into season two, and I have to say, I was utterly depressed after watching the first episode, ‘In My Time of Dying.’ But of course, I forged ahead anyway. It seems there’s always a way to bring people back after they die on this show. Things aren’t set in stone at all.

Which is exactly why it’s hard to think that Sam could go to the dark side, or that he’s harboring some deep, dark demonic thing. According to Gordon, that dark side is going to come out and be a really bad guy. Apparently, John Winchester felt that way, too, before he died. That’s why he told Dean that if he couldn’t save Sam, he’d have to kill him.

Gidget did it. Elvis had a special there. ‘Lost’ calls it home. CBS is even bringing it back with a modern take on ‘Hawaii Five-O’! Well, the Dunphys, Jay and Gloria, Cam and Mitchell are the latest. That’s right, ‘Modern Family’ is going to Hawaii. It’s not a permanent relocation.

At the Paley Festival on Friday night in Los Angeles, ‘Modern Family’ executive producer Steve Levitan revealed that that show is being filmed next week. He explained why the family is all going native, saying, “Jay thinks that he and Gloria are going by themselves for this romantic getaway, and she surprises him by inviting the entire family.”

In what was probably the toughest pilot season casting decision yet, the choice of actor to play Jim Rockford has gone to… Dermot Mulroney. Yes, that’s right. Dermot Mulroney will star in the remake of ‘The Rockford Files.’ And, no, Alex O’Loughlin was not the first choice. Kidding! Just kidding!

Mulroney did a brief turn on ‘Friends’ in 2003, but his most famous role was the object of Julia Roberts’ obsession — and Cameron Diaz’s fiance — in ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding.’ ‘The Rockford Files’ is his first major shot at TV.

I always knew that behind that sweet, innocent, fat little face lies the black beating heart of pure evil. That’s how evil he really is. His heart lies behind his face instead of his chest.

My suspicions were confirmed when news broke that some Blackwater contractors illegally obtained weapons that were meant to go to the Afghan police force by filing them under the name “Eric Cartman” as a cover.

‘South Park’ creator Trey Parker told the Huffington Post that when he and co-creator Matt Stone heard the news, “Our first reaction to any story is ‘How do we put this into the show?’ and the second reaction is ‘Did Cartman do that?’ because he’s so real to us, it’s like ‘I bet Cartman did that.’”

It’s been more than three years since ‘The Boondocks’ invaded my TV, and now they are coming back for seconds. Well, thirds.

Aaron McGruder, creator of ‘The Boondocks’ comic strip and animated Adult Swim series, said on his Twitter page that the show will premiere its third season on May 2.

Last December, McGruder, who also serves as the show’s executive producer, announced that a third season was in the works but he could not confirm the airdate.

(S01E15) Tonight’s episode started with a callback to last week’s destruction of the solar towers by Clark. Then it turned into your average 80’s horror flick combined with one of the ‘Saw’ movies.

One of the rules of casting for this show must be that every male character must be able to look good without a shirt. Both Oliver and Zod did just that in this episode. Zod looked good for a soldier that has been in battle and taken shrapnel while leading his army of American Apparel models. Krypton must have a great H.M.O.

Who else predicted the ending other than me? More on that after the jump.
