Stream: Orange Is The New Black (Season 3)

I finished season three of "Orange is the New Black" five days after it became available on Netflix. I have been waiting to share my review with you until I had time to sit down and really detail my full reaction to the newest episodes.

After watching the first three seasons, I have to say, I think season two was the strongest. Not only did it have the intense (and sometimes violent) drama of the Vee vs. Red feud, but we learned about the lives of the women before they were in prison through a series of poignant and raw flashbacks.

Grey's Anatomy: Dance It Out

Heading into last night's Grey's Anatomy season finale, I was bracing for pain. Shonda Rhimes has been known to go out with a bang (sometimes literally). Apparently the entertainment team at Pop Sugar was feeling the same way I was and ranked the 10 season finales from least to most painful.

Grey's Anatomy: The Carousel

Two weeks ago Derek died and we all questioned whether or not we'd still continue watching Grey's Anatomy.

Last week, that pivotal episode was followed by a two hour show. Sadly, I didn't get to watch live because I was traveling for work.

This week, you get a triple recap - three hours of Grey's!

Last week:

Grey's Anatomy: Stages Of Grief

It's well documented that the five stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and then finally, acceptance.

After last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy and Derek's very unexpected and tragic death, I think we can all agree we suffered the denial and anger stages pretty immediately. Shonda Rhimes was eviscerated on Twitter as a result.

Casting: First Dates

This one is for #AllTheSingleLadies.

Still looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right? Yeah, me too.

Well, our dear friend Ellen DeGeneres, who you know as the world's best talk show host, an incredible philanthropist, an animal lover and a huge Scandal fan, is producing a new television show First Dates.

Grey's Anatomy: Derek

At the end of last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy the previews for this week promised "This is the episode America will never forget." While that felt very Bachelor "most dramatic ever," after watching last night's episode, I get where they were coming from.

When I came home from work and saw the title of the episode on my DVR ("How to save a life") I knew it would be sad because Grey's made that song famous almost 10 years ago during a heartbreaking scene.

Grey's Anatomy: Flight Flashbacks

At the close of last week's episode we were all left wondering, "Where is Derek?" So of course after that dramatic preview, last night's episode did not address Derek's whereabouts at all. I hate that!

The title of the episode was "One flight down" and in the opening scene, a plane crashes right over the Chief's car as he's driving into work.

The crash occurred when the pilot of the private plane, Sam, felt pain in his chest and lost control. He was flying with his date, Kate. Kate had to take over and attempt to land the plane. All this on their very first date.

Grey's Anatomy: Be Excellent

Last night ABC aired the first ever episode of Grey's Anatomy in the 8:00pm slot, just before the new episode (Scandal is apparently on hiatus this week). Did anyone watch it?

The new episode was titled "Crazy Love" which was completely appropriate. We've seen a lot of crazy patient stories over the years, but a severed penis? Really, Shonda?

Grey's Anatomy: New Beginnings

Hello, Grey's fans! Last week I was on a flight to Miami during the new episode, so this week you get a double recap. Off to Seattle we go!

Last week:

When we last left off, Derek showed up at Meredith's front door (well, his front door too) and I think we were all pretty sure he cheated on her.

Grey's Anatomy: Truth Time

For all my fellow "Grey's Anatomy" fans, I regret to inform you that I wasn't able to watch last night's episode because I was mid-air on my way to Miami.

The Mindy Project: Getting Married

Guys, let's all take a moment to mourn the end of this season of "The Mindy Project."

I am in complete denial that the season is over and that we'll no longer be able to look forward to sharing our Tuesday nights with Mindy. Well, at least until the fall.

When I sat down to watch last night's episode, my RCN cable box decided to do this fun thing where it just shuts off without any warning. So, the first six minutes of the episode did not record. I was able to begin watching at the moment when Peter (with grotesquely long hair) is sitting in Mindy's office.

Grey's Anatomy: Team MerDer

As you may recall, last week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" ended with Meredith calling Derek and a woman answering his phone.
