SUPERNATURAL – It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester

Happy Halloween GMMR readers!! Like Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin and millions of children who’ve waited up to see Santa Claus, Sam Winchester had his childlike hopes dashed when he finally had the chance to meet a couple of angels face to face (his version of the GP/SC). As a person with a lot of faith (and certainly way more than Dean) he was dismayed to learn that two of the beings (Castiel and new buddy Uriel, aka Good Angel/Bad Angel) he was hero-worshiping all of his life are kind of dicks…or at least appear to be…for now. Nothing ever stays the same on this show and I don’t want to be eating those words in a few weeks. Unlike Linus however, he wasn’t left waiting all night in a pumpkin patch for a being that never shows up. Nope, instead he used his magic abilities to destroy the demon of the week, against the wishes of the angels and his brother. The dynamic between Sam and Dean has also once again shifted thanks to the angel-hunter foursome interacting, and Sam and Dean now both have new questions to ponder.
BONES Scoopage Straight from Creator Hart Hanson

Hey, Bones lovers. It’s Seeleybaby here. Isn’t life interesting? One day I decide to watch an episode of Bones, and less than a year later, I’m participating in a conference call with the show creator, Hart Hanson. Yeah…I’m not complaining.
Well, there is a very, VERY exciting month of Bones episodes headed our way November 4th, 12th, 19th and 26th. Good, interesting cases, love triangles, sibling rivalry, and…gross disgusting dead bodies. Alrighty, then!
But the hardest part about being in the phone conference was that I didn’t really have anyone to talk to about what I was hearing. So I need to hear your thoughts!
So much to discuss (after the bump):
1. Possible return of Zack AND Gordon Gordon Wyatt!
2. Angela’s new love interest
3. Booth’s past and family
4. The revolving ‘grad students’
5. The “Moonlighting Curse” and more!
Here’s the transcript of the full call so you can enjoy the updates straight from the “Hanson’s” mouth.

IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADEPHIA: “Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack”
October 31, 2008 by Give Me My Remote
Filed under It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Another week, another half hour of the ridiculous antics of the “It’s Always Sunny” gang. Last week, Dennis wrote an erotic memoir (some of the chapters can be found on Paddy’s Pub, if you’d like to take a gander) and Charlie and Dee walked a mile in each other’s shoes. It was also the gallant return of dear Frank! Oh, how we missed thee. Also, one of “It’s Always Sunny’s” writers Patrick Walsh, who you will read hear more from in the next few days, made his acting debut, playing the fabulous MC of the comedy club Dee frequents on a daily basis.
This week, Sweet Dee has a minor heart attack, Dee and Dennis discover that Frank canceled their health insurance when they were young, Frank experienced the “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” world and both Mac and Charlie took a crappy, entry-level job as mailroom assistants. Like in every episode, a lot of stuff happened but those were the important nuggets you should take away should you become inundated with useless information and factoids.
30 ROCK: Do-Over

Last night was the season premiere of 30 ROCK on NBC, but it was also the season premiere of our new 30 ROCK correspondent, Kari. Applause all around please.
Ok, over to your Kari!
………………………………………..
It’s back! It’s back! The joy of 30 ROCK’s return after five months and seven Emmys and a handful of Tina Fey appearances on SNL was sweetly encapsulated in the third season opener, with Liz’s gleeful cry of “Jack!” as she welcomed “The Jacker” back to New York.
And how much fun was it to see her live out her very own “Sex and the City” scene on the street, looking all cocky and bouncy and floral when Jack’s limo pulled up to the curb? (Of course her response to his “Hello, pussycat,” was less flattered and more “Aw, really? Lotta ladies get right in the car after that line, you creepy piece of…”) And the way she greeted him so awkwardly, first considering a hug and then a handshake and finally settling on a punch on the arm? Two thumbs up, Liz Lemon!
THE OFFICE: Employee Transfer

Hey OFFICE writers…don’t think for a minute that you pulled one over on us. A whole episode revolving around the romantic entanglements of Dunder Mifflin? Yeah, we saw right through you…and I couldn’t care less. Tonight may have had an underlying theme of fighting for the one you love, but it certainly used the funny to get us there, so I’m all for it.
Before we go any further, please stand up…yes, get on your feet…and applaud last night’s awesome cold open. Creed (and Kevin and Dwight) as the Joker was brills!! If I were working at Dunder Mifflin (dare to dream) and Creed was walking around looking like that, I’m not sure I would have been able to stay. I think everyone is lucky he didn’t go all method and kill everyone at their desks. And Pam as Charlie Chaplin/Hilter? As someone who hates Halloween with a passion, I think Pam’s scenario of being the only one to show up in a costume is perhaps my worst nightmare. I can’t imagine the horror. Funny stuff all the same. Too bad we didn’t get to see more of it. I’m sure the makeup and costume people were bummed to know all their hard work was up on the screen for less than five minutes. Job well done.
Life is a highway, I wanna ride it all night long (that’s what she said).
Both Jim and Michael took to the highways tonight in the name of love. But while one relationship is perhaps stronger for the road trip, one landed in the breakdown breakup lane.
Jon Hamm to Ham in up on 30 ROCK

Filed under 30 Rock, Mad Men
For someone as perpetually single as Liz Lemon, when she does find a man she sure lands ‘em good. Of course we’ll never forget Floyd played by the uber sexy Jason Sudekis (sue me I have a type) and now there is a new man in Liz’s future…and this one is one suave cat.
Ausiello has just confirmed that MAD MEN star, Jon Hamm, is in talks to be courting Liz Lemon in a multiepisode arc of 30 ROCK later this season. Please let this happen. Please.
Coming off its brilliant second season finale, MAD MEN is all the rage right now. And there’s been a little tiny bit of buzz around Tina Fey as of late. Let’s see what happens when two of TV’s underdogs come together.
Oh, when worlds collide, we are very, VERY happy.
Don’t forget to check out the season premiere of 30 ROCK tonight at 9:30pm on NBC.
A special thanks to Team GMMR’s 30 ROCK correspondent, Kari, for this sharing this news. Check back in later tonight for Kari’s take on tonight’s season premiere.
