This week’s episode of “New Girl” was all about Schmidt, and seemed to put to bed once and for all his wound-licking after being, well, Schmidt.
Jess has plans to throw a Halloween party in the loft, but is reluctant to have the cold cut binge-eating Schmidt ruin the festive mood. Schmidt insists on attending the party in his depressing state, so Nick and Winston wonder if it’s time for Schmidt to get a letter from an old friend–Michael Keaton.

Tonight is “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”‘s Halloween episode, and it focuses on the relationship between Jake and Captain Holt–this time in a match of wits. Jake’s not only eager to prove that he’s a great detective, but he also wants to prove that he’s not so predictable to the highly observant Captain Holy.
Jake’s caught a banana trying to rob a bank, and with the parade of petty costumed criminals in the station, Jake declares that he’d make a better criminal than anyone. He somehow convinces Captain Holt to accept his challenge–if Jake fails to steal the medal by midnight, he’ll work the next five weekends without overtime and still complete his regular coursework. If he succeeds, Holt will stay behind on Halloween to complete all his work, and (more importantly to Jake’s ego) announce that Jake is a brilliant detective. (more…)
“Do you think I’m a good person?” Schmidt asks his roommates at the beginning of this episode of “New Girl.” Schmidt’s still licking his wounds after his two-timing, and reluctant responses from Winston, Nick, and Jess send him into Schmidt Crisis Mode.
Meanwhile, a shady guy shows up with a paper sack for Nick on behalf of his dead father’s estate, and it turns out to hold $8,000. Cut to Winston and Jess at the mall, watching Nick burn through money on ridiculous stuff. Jess wants Nick to slow down, but Winston warns her not to ever talk to Nick about money. Meanwhile, Winston sees this as his opportunity “con” Nick into giving him the $1,900 he owes him.

This week’s “Brooklyn Nine-NIne” revolves around Jake’s murder case of a wealthy Brooklyn man–he’s been working on it for weeks, and the DA’s office is pressuring the precinct to find the murder weapon. Captain Holt asks Jake if he needs resources, but Jake insists on working alone. Once Santiago and Holt convince him that the Captain wants department cooperation, he chooses Doyle as his second (because he won’t steal his thunder).
Jake and Doyle are re-combing the building for clues by questioning the doorman (Andy Richter) and other neighbors when Diaz calls with an important tip: the murder victim’s wounds resemble those of a murder she solved a while back, where the weapon was a corkscrew. (more…)
This episode of “The Mindy Project” opens with Mindy in post-breakup mode: crying, ordering takeout, and listening to Les Mis. On her way into work, Mindy trips and falls over a parcel belonging to a lawyer in the building named Cliff Gilbert (Glenn Howerton). Mindy storms in Gilbert’s office, threatening to sue for slip and fall, but Gilbert easily confuses Mindy with legal jargon.
Back at the practice, Jeremy reveals a new sign after changing the name from Schulman and Associates to Pearson, Castellano, Reed and Prentiss. Mindy reveals that she and Casey broke up. After failing to implement “heartbreak days,” Mindy’s cornered in the break room by Morgan, who tells an uncaring Mindy that all of his ex-girlfriends have magically gone on to fall in love with amazing guys.
Danny is interrupted by new doctor Peter doing the cinnamon challenge while being egged on by the staff and gets a mouthful of cinnamon in the face. Danny storms into Jeremy’s office, demanding that he be fired, but Jeremy claims that he’s a good doctor, which Danny observes while he playfully connects with a patient.
