man crush monday

#MCM. We've all seen it on Instagram, Twitter, etc. Whether it's our friends with boyfriends who post every week- we get it you're in love, whatever. Or, it's the single ladies {thanks Bey for making this cool} like myself who may or may not post a picture of shirtless Zac Efron or a scruffy Jimmy Fallon every once in a while. Either way it's a post dedicated to that special person whose caught your eye whether they know you exist or not. 

So I've decided to dedicate a weekly post to my favorite on-screen fellas and their actor counter parts. From leading men, to adorable side kicks, they've all greatly raised the expectations for my future love interests to inevitably fail to meet.

My first choice is a no-brainer.

Daniel Castellano.

Starting off as a lovable jerk, he's turned into a smoking hot kermudgen who has some sick dance moves and wears adorable red reading glasses. His relationship with Mindy this season has been hilarious to watch-- here's to hoping there isn't another breakup in the near future.

But let's just let Danny speak for himself.

Thank you Mindy Kaling. Just thank you.

Everyone should watch The Mindy Project Tuesdays at 9:30 on Fox. Do it and thank me later.

ps- Chris Messina isn't so bad himself-- check him out in some awesome indies, Celeste and Jesse Forever, The Giant Mechanical Man, and Ira & Abby. 

falling in love in the fall....

Well I'm back.

After a long, life-changing and fabulous year I've decided to get back to blogging. Redesigned (to the best of my ability) and renamed-- I'm back. Mainly because I love TV and writing but mostly because my sweet family and friends start tuning me out when I talking pop culture for too long #sorrynotsorry.

 

And there's no better time than now with the fall TV season FINALLY starting back up. Thank dog. It's been a long summer full of my guiltiest pleasure- Big Brother, binge watching too many shows to count (shout to Bridget Ryan for finally for getting me to watch Orphan Black-- too good) and rewatching my favorites (West Wing for the umpteenth time anyone?).

Now my shows are back and I'm so ready-- The Mindy Project, Scandal, Parenthood, the list goes on and on, but the real question I ponder every fall is what new shows to introduce to my weekly lineup. 

Duh I watch way too many shows-- so I try to only give one new show a chance each new season. Two years ago it was Mindy, last year it was BK 99, both choices I fully stand by. This year, however, there are too many good choices so here's a look at my intrigue list:

HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER

#TGIT. Shonda is queen.
Shonda + Viola Davis + hour long drama = I'm sold.
Shondaland Thursdays will be a new staple and I'm not mad about it.
Thursdays at 10:00 EST on ABC

{giving it a chance}

A to Z 

The Mindy Project is pure gold brought the rom-com to the small screen in such a great way. A-Z is following in Mindy's always fashionable footsteps with The Mother from HIMYM and Ben Feldman and it looks adorable- I'm really hoping this is good.
Premieres Thursday 10/2 at 9:30 EST on NBC

MARRY ME

From the creator of Happy Endings comes the second coming of Penny Hart- I hope. Add in the wonderful Ken Marino (Party Down forever)- fingers crossed this is Ah-mah-zing.
Premieres Tuesday 10/14 at 9:00 EST on NBC

{praying the critics are wrong}

MULANEY

I want this show to be good so badly but it is getting such terrible reviews. That being said, I will give this show a chance because it's John Mulaney and he created Stefon and his stand up is hilarious and of course- Nasim Pedrad and Martin Short.
Premieres Sunday 10/5 at 9:30 EST on Fox

Check back in a couple of weeks to see how these new shows are fairing.

  

Happy watching!
