News & Notes
Prime Picks
Glee (FOX): New. Will gets the glee club to perform The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the school’s annual musical after he finds out that Emma loves the movie.

Sons of Anarchy (FX): New. SAMCRO arrives in Ireland to pay a visit to another charter. Runs 91 minutes. Plays twice. Finally caught up with the show over the weekend and can’t wait to see what happens once they get overseas.
Solid Selections
No Ordinary Family (ABC): New. The family deals with what seems to be an earthquake. Stephanie thinks the J.J. has developed some sort of power. Daphne isn’t sure what to do with some info she thinks she may have gotten using her power. ABC has picked the series up for a full season. I was glad to hear that. How about you? Tonight’s episode is good, as it puts the show in an interesting place once information gets shared among the group. Also, really liked the Daphne storyline, as them learning how to use their abilities and what types of problems can arise is my favorite part of the show. Really like that they are taking this slowly. Do you?
Raising Hope (FOX): New. Two episodes play tonight. First up is “Happy Halloween,” which is really solid. Love the heartwarming craziness of the show. It’ll make you want to hug your child/parent. Glad that FOX has picked the show up for a full season. Second is “Family Secrets,” where a box of videos of Hope’s mother arrives from the prison.
The Good Wife (CBS): New. The firm investigates whether to take a case, where a woman is deciding whether to accuse a prominent democrat with sexual assault after the district attorney’s office has decided not to pursue the case. This episode plays out a little different than a normal and while it wasn’t my favorite, it puts all the characters in interesting positions that let you see where everyone stands both politically and morally.
