What to Watch (Week of 12/12)

First off...who watched Once Upon a Time on Sunday?! Gahh!! Why oh why oh why!!?? Still my new favorite show, but I just couldn't believe you they killed off. I'm just hoping that since this show has two "worlds" and is a sci-fi/fantasy type, that they won't stay dead forever. Please please please. That being said, I already know I will be purchasing this show when its seasons are out on DVD. I love love love it. And yes, I say seasons because I am hoping this show will be around for a long time. And I only buy shows with multiple seasons, so I'm just putting it out into the world :)

On to other news. My schedule is dwindling so fast! Okay, it may not look like it right now, but I had to find a lot of fillers since all my shows are on hiatus. I cannot believe it is the middle of December already! I finally got caught up on Parks and Recreation, so that will now be added to the schedule, but still need to watch Revenge and finish The O.C. and start Friday Night Lights among many others I'm sure you could and should suggest to me ;)

Detroit Red Wings vs. Pittsburg Penguins (FSD) 7pm ET | My two favorite teams. I hope Sidney Crosby is back to playing for this one.
Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (movie) (ABCFam) 8pm (DVR) | Like I haven't seen it a billion times already...Not as good as the original cartoon, but at least we can see Taylor Momsen when she was all cute and not a scary whore-ish raccoon.
Glee (Fox) 8pm (WATCH) | CHRISTMAS EPISODE = CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!
New Girl (Fox) 9pm (WATCH)

After It Airs (SPN 12/2)

Supernatural
Season 7 Episode 10 - Death's Door

Summary (courtesy of The CW):
As Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) race the clock on a high-stakes mission, Bobby (Jim Beaver) seeks the help of an unlikely old friend to solve one of the most personal cases of his life. Robert Singer directed the episode written by Sera Gamble.

Funny Video: 
Jared and Jensen made a video for the fans to urge them to vote for Supernatural in the People's Choice Awards. And damn, is it funny!

Favorite Episode Quotes: 
Sam: I'm not an idiot, Dean, I know first aid for a friggin' bullet to the head.
Dean: There’s not even a contest! Survival is the only criteria, and when the crap hits the fan, it’s not about who has skill, it’s about who’s the bigger bad-ass. Bobby, will you please tell Sam that Chuck Norris could kick Jet Li’s ass?
Rufus: You do know that whatever you’re trying to avoid with the eye rolls and the grump-alumping, that’s exactly where you need to go.
Bobby: How am I supposed to know what I don’t want me to know?
The Reaper: Bobby, you’ve helped. You got handed a small, unremarkable life and you did something with it. Most men like you die of liver disease watching Barney Miller reruns. You’ve done enough. Believe me.
Bobby to his father: Kids ain’t supposed to be grateful! They’re supposed to eat your food and break your heart, you selfish dick. You died and I was still so afraid I’d turn into you I never even had kids of my own.
Bobby to his father: As fate would have it, I adopted two boys. And they grew up great. They grew up heroes. So you can go to Hell!
Bobby's last word to Sam and Dean: Idjits.
Sam: Scoot, jerkface. / Dean: Scoot, jerkface? Show your elders some respect. / Sam: You scoot, asshat.
Dean: Did we get licorice? / Sam: No, we did not get licorice. We got good snacks. Licorice is disgusting. / Dean: I’m sorry, I didn’t quite understand that, Mr. Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches. / Sam: You know what, I stand by that sandwich. Nobody likes licorice. It’s made of dirt. / Dean: It is a classic movie food. It’s right up there with popcorn. / Sam: Popcorn? Really? You’re out of your mind. / Dean: What, it’s like little chewy pieces of Heaven. / Sam: Chewy pieces of Heaven if you’re a girl.

Brennan: The killer used a guillotine? / Booth: Whoa, a guillotine? Where do you even find one of those? / Hodgins: Room 114. French Revolution exhibit.
Booth: Did you ever ship and pack a guillotine? / Tony: No. But that would take a lot of bubble wrap/
Manager: I love this place. It gives me purpose. / Booth: The copy shop? / Manager: We ship too.
Sheila: My what? / Booth: Your ass bones. They're like fingerprints in your pants.
Sheila: I'm a slut. Not a killer.
Clark: Did you know that cabbage leaves are recommended to soothe sore breasts. Apparently the phytochemicals in the plant... / Brennan: I spent the evening naked, so my breasts are actually feeling much better today. Thank you.
