Twas a weird Bones night indeed. Guest stars: Stephen Fry (as Dr. Gordon Wyatt), Dan Castellaneta (as Officer Novarro), and Homer Simpson (as an X-ray). Also starring a lepruchaun.
A tiny green skeleton is found buried under a freeway, lying in a pot of gold. Okay, not literally, it was lying on a few gold pieces.
Once again, the Scranton branch finds itself at the mercy of corporate and financial difficulties. The employees have gone through a lot of downsizing over the years, from Devon's termination, to mergers, and most recently, the closing of a branch.
It almost feels like the real show this week, doesn't it? If it weren't for the stupid giant stage, anyway...
So, Top 16 week. This could get long, so I hope you've got the patience to read through it all, because I'm hilarious, you know, so it's worth it.

In which we revisit the infamous hay bale Roadblock in the game's first ever "Switchback"...
You all knew this had to be non-elimination, right? There is no way they're cruel enough to put an elimination mat right next to The Hardest Roadblock Of All Time. (Can you imagine Maria & Tiffany attempting this? Oh, the whining. Oh, the hugging.
Whenever the combination of tension, and Michael Scott are present, there is almost always a disaster waiting to happen. At the beginning of Double Date, it looked as if it was going to be one of those rare times where Michael was going to prove everybody else wrong.
Bones is back from its hiatus, and if you've ever heard of those rumors of finding yucky things in your fast food, this may not be the best episode for you... yuck.
A chicken factory owner is found after being scarred by chemicals his whole life, thrown into a chicken plucker, having his fingers cut off, and finally thrown over a dam.
How I Met Your Mother's newest instalment aired Monday night, and was satisfying, albeit in a different manner than usual. Let me possibly be the first to say that I believe that the episode title has barely anything to do with the actual plotline of the story and should rather have been replaced with an alternative, more apt title.
Sunday night's Curb Your Enthusiasm was adequate; it was a bit on the ordinary side for the television program, meaning that it reverted to some of the season 4 or 5 type of writing, where the plot was somewhat one-dimensional and entirely predictable.
The opening 8-counts are so dismal on this giant new stage. Each dancer has to awkwardly sprint to centre stage during the preceding dancer's 8-count, and then race off following their own. It's... unbecoming.
Still, Cat is as becoming as ever, so I guess we can all be happy.
I have thoughts, most of which are spoilery if you haven't seen the episode yet, so click below to read more...
I know it's not Dutch, but nonetheless schadenfreude is really the most appropriate word to describe the emotion with which I watched most of this week's episode. There's no doubt those poor poker girls looked miserable, but... come on, it was hilarious.
