Keeping Up With the Crawleys

The season two finale of Downton Abbey was jammed packed full of drama, plot developments, and game changers. But nothing was as great as the prospect of Lady Mary running off to New York. It wasn’t just Lady Mary & New York (even though Lady Mary on her own is usually enough reason to love something), it was that head housemaid & general moral compass, Anna, asked if she could accompany her (to escape her own drama).

Basically the rest of the episode was lost on me as I thought about how brilliant the spin-off series/webisodes/okay I’d take one episode of Lady Mary & Anna in New York would be.

So of course I had to create their promo poster. This show, however, won’t be airing on E!

Ah, what could have been!

I hope the “New Direction” they are going is the exit

How unrealistic was is that the New Directions won Sectionals?

This is how the Trouble Tones should have ended their Sectionals winning performance:

 

Pronto Toronto: from Degrassi to Being Erica

This week’s epsiode of Being Erica saw the return of Lauren Collins (best known for playing Paige on Degrassi)!

As with all Canadian shows, we’ve seen a lot of familiar faces on Being Erica. Below are the Degrassi stars we’ve seen on Being Erica!

Paula Brancati

The ultimate accomplishment. Paula Brancati was a series regular on both Degrassi & Being Erica at the same time. While it’s impressive she was on two shows, what’s more impressive is on the shows she played ages 17 and 32, respectively.

 Jane Vaughn (Degrassi)                                     Jenny Zalen (Being Erica)

John Bregar

Dylan Michalchuk (Degrassi)                                 Barrett (Being Erica)

Aubrey Graham

Jimmy Brooks (Degrassi)                                 Ken (Being Erica)

Cory Lee

Ms. Oh (Degrassi)                                 Chantel (Being Erica)

Lauren Collins

Has appeared in two episodes as Young Barb (Erica’s mother).

Paige Michalchuk (Degrassi)                                 Young Barb Strange (Being Erica)

Jake Goldsbie

Jake Goldsbie, Jake Epstein, & Alexandria Benoit were all in the same episode together.

Toby Isaacs (Degrassi)                                 Beezer (Being Erica)

Jake Epstein

Craig Manning (Degrassi)                                 Malcolm Abrams (Being Erica)

Alexandria Benoit

Sadie Rowland (Degrassi)                                 Rachel Zimmerman (Being Erica)

Shannon Kook-Chun

Rich Taiwanese playboy partier of undetermined age. Everything he did was hilarious.

Zane Park (Degrassi)                                 Kendrick Kwan (Being Erica)

Adamo Ruggiero

Adamo has made two appearances as Brant’s assistant at River Rock Publishing.

Marco Del Rossi (Degrassi)                                 Luis (Being Erica)

Tamara Duarte

While I don’t actually like Charlie on Degrassi (recurring character), Tamara Duarte’s guest spot on Being Erica is one of the funniest things I’ve seen. She played a Latina Floridian that gets in a fight with her cheating boyfriend & Jenny (Paula Brancati).

Her whole scene is throwing things & yelling in Spanish. It is amazing.

Charlie (Degrassi)                                 Rando (Being Erica)

Just hire me in Dunder Mifflin Accounting & make me a purser!

This math is going to blow your mind!

I’m really suprised The TV Addict hasn’t done a “Separated at Birth” post for Erin Hannon (Ellie Kemper) from The Office & Colette Valois (Karine Vanasse) from Pan Am. I think they look so much alike!

After some quick math, I discovered what should be an unspoken backstory for Erin.

As we know, Erin was adopted & does not know who her biological mother is. Pan Am takes place in 1963. Are you following my train of thought???

We have to make some assumptions/take averages for this little excersie to work, but here we go!

• Pan Am takes place in 1963
• To be a Pan Am stewardess you have to be college educated & not over 32 years old. So, Colette is anywhere from 22-32 years of age.
• Erin is currently 29

If we put Colette at the mean age of stewardess age regulations, 27, she would be 75 in the year 2011. She could easily be Erin’s grandmother!

Yes. That just happened.

90210: How? What? Really? Is That Possible?

There is currently a question posted on the 90210 Facebook page asking fans to vote for their favorite couple on the show.

Shockingly enough, Liam & Annie have a commanding lead! I wasn’t aware people actually liked Annie them together (I know I don’t)! Thankfully, Naomi & Max are a solid second. Nothing would make me happier than seeing Josh Zuckerman be made a series regular. Nothing besides better choices for the above question that is! These are what our options should be!

The Biggest Question From the Season 2 Premiere of Pretty Little Liars

The second & more awkwardly placed gratuitous shirtless scene of the episode.

I CAN’T EVEN begin to tell you how much I love these recaps

To continue on the Skins posting…

If you, like me, watch any combination of the shows below,

1. Skins
2. US Skins
3. Glee

then you should definitely read the recaps over at rophydoes. They are absolutely hilarious & at the same time very insightful. But more importantly they are absolutely hilarious.  And who doesn’t love a good macro!? And by “macro” I mean Australians. And by “Australians” I mean surprise Sophia. And by “surprise Sophia” I mean Angel Katie. (I think I’m getting locked on)

And I will just overlook that fact that they hate Holly Holliday (Gwyneth Paltrow on Glee). I don’t understand how you can dislike someone who takes away screen time from Will freaking Schuester. DREAM COME TRUE.

And now for your viewing pleasure! GIFs of Rin & Sophy doing some of their favorite yahoo emoticons (as seen in their video & used in all their posts)! Making a gif of actual real life people just took the creepy level up a couple thousand notches!
