CMI on TV

NBC left no line uncrossed in this week’s episode of “Camp.” The writers introduced a completely non-relevant side storyline that involved Robbie meeting a French couple looking for a waterfall. When they get to the waterfall, they spend the night, take hallucinogenic drugs, and have an implied threesome. It’s shown to be a good thing that helps Robbie move on from his recent break-up with Sarah. Throughout the series, NBC has messaged to the targeted teenage audience that homosexual marriage is good and will prevail eventually, (hard) drugs happen and have no repercussions, underage drinking is fun, sex is constant, and that threesomes are totally great. The only repercussion was Marina’s pregnancy scare, but hey, it was just a scare, so carouse on, counselors!

With only one episode left (Thank God), NBC can’t redeem itself. A series of non-starter plot lines weakly woven together have merely given NBC an excuse to have a platform to bring a series of...

If you'll recall, last week instead of focusing on this season of Suits' plot, I blathered on about cats. I'm not sorry. Cats rule.  #noapologies.

Of course, not even I thought that my (excessive?) focus on cats last week would actually be important to this week's episode. But sure enough, last week's cat trial generated this week's secondary plot, Harold suing Louis. That's what you call vindication, boys and girls.

But the complete and utter vindication of my excessive focus on cats last week is not the point. Rather, the point is I was out with a girl on Friday night. (...

After being treated like he had a scarlet letter on his chest by the whole town, Danny Desai finally gets expelled from school in the latest episode of “Twisted.” Too many rumors and suspicions have gone around the school to allow him to stay any longer.

Meanwhile, Jo is having an internal battle of whether or not she can move on from her crush on Danny.

Chief Masterson is trying to do his job and determine guilt in the murder case of Regina, however that’s difficult to do fairly when the suspect is his daughter’s admitted crush. But new evidence comes out that starts making it...

It’s Parents’ Weekend in Episode in Episode Six of “Camp”, and all of the rambunctious Counselors in Training have to deal with their parents coming to visit. As one fed-up visiting mother puts it: “this is a sex camp!” It seems like maybe ABC has come to recognize that’s all they have to go off of, but they’re not doing much to rectify it. Kip’s dad automatically assumes he’s having sex with his “girlfriend” after meeting her, and Sara is still sleeping with the writer from Camp Ridgeway. It seems like the only rectifying ABC does is clarifying that Sara is 21 and is a consensual adult, and that it is illegal to give wine to 11 year olds. It is interesting to note that there are still no functional heterosexual families presented in the series – just single parents...
