In case you weren't hearing enough about campaigns and elections and caucuses and primaries, SCANDAL is also in an election year. As Fitz is on his way out of the White House, tonight we got a glimpse of who is trying to climb their way inside it.

I'm aware that this word is a tad overused these days, but THAT was truly EPIC! That may go down as my favorite episode to date of this series. You are about to witness some gushing, so be prepared.

SHAMELESS took a bit of a dark turn tonight as Carl comes face to face with his reality. Now homeless and spread out all over the city, the Gallaghers are struggling more than ever to keep it together.

Is it me or does Season Five already seem better without Olivia and Fitz together? Tonight's episode was a breath of fresh air as SCANDAL returns to form for the second half of Season Five.

It's official, the Gallagher house is no more. I mean, it still exists, they just don't live there. Let's all give it up for gentrification.

And just when you thought they had a shot, the rug comes out from under them... again. Just another typical week in the Gallagher household. Will this family ever catch a freaking break?

Listen, I know it wasn't the “nicest” tribute, but I, for one, really enjoyed that song. And anytime, they want to have Tony and Grammy Award winning, Steve Kazee sing, even if it is to disparage a Gallagher, I am on board with that plan. (No offense, Fiona.)

The Gallaghers have never been ones to shy away from fertility and boy did they prove that this week. Debbie went from sweet little sister to devil teenager… but then, who doesn't?

The Gallaghers make their triumphant return into Season Six and to no one's surprise have brought with them a whole new set of problems. And isn't that why we love them?

Look, I'm not going to lie to you, I adore this show and it's hard for me to be a critic about it. So forgive my gushing as I love everything Gallagher and will most likely over praise them an exorbitant amount. I'd like to apologize for it, but I won't.

Amazon's hit television show, MOZART IN THE JUNGLE kicks off its second season on December 30, 2015. The show follows a fictional (albeit, based in reality) orchestra in New York led by the exciting and controversial Rodrigo de Souza (Gael Garcia Bernal) loosely based on LA Philharmonic conductor, Gustavo Dudamel. The show is based on Blair Tindall's novel of the same name of her experiences with professional classical music in New York and San Francisco. I had the fortune of speaking with Ms. Tindall about her transition from musician to author to TV consultant.

And just like that, EMPIRE goes out with a bang, or a fall, to be exact. Yes, it's the mid-season finale… season (?) and EMPIRE's list of guest stars almost broke the bank tonight. Not to mention the coveted (and fictional) ASA nominations. Will Jamal and/or Hakeem make the cut?

The tower has tumbled and all of our survivors are in peril. As we bring the first half of Season Six to a close, will everyone make it out alive? I guess that is a silly question, the word “dead” is in the title of the show.

Quite the trick, EMPIRE creators, to save that power duet between Jamal and Skye for the last few minutes of the show. It was worth the wait. I can listen to Alicia belt it out all night!

I'd like to give a hearty 'Eff You' to the producers of THE WALKING DEAD for the last month of torture. You all must be enjoying yourself over the hours we have wasted trying to figure out the answer which was revealed in the first two seconds of tonight's episode. NOT cool, guys… NOT cool!

With an odd beginning to Season Five, Shondaland sends SCANDAL into the holidays with a bang. Not a literal one (okay, well maybe one), but there were plenty of shock-worthy moments in tonight's winter finale.

Finally, after a season and a half, we get a rap battle on EMPIRE. It's Freda vs. Hakeem and there's a lot on the line; family pride, album releases, you name it. Who will be victorious?

A Daryl Dixon-centric episode, where he's sleeveless in the woods? Yes, please! Tonight we got a little update on what happened with Daryl, Sasha and Abraham before they head home safely (thank goodness) to Alexandria.

Everything is better with Joe Morton, I've decided. Let's put him in everything, all the time, always. Papa Pope is back and as usual he's a frightened, little kitten… wait, what?

The good news is, we discovered the inspiration behind Lucious' about to be classic hit, “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom.” The bad news is, said inspiration was his Mom's constant threat (?) to end her own life. Tonight, Lucious had to dig deep to find the music.
