Suits, “Heartburn”
Next episode airs Thursday, March 27, 2014.
If you are one of the few people on campus who hasn’t started watching this show yet, it’s time to put on your binge-watching glasses and order a few pizzas. In this most recent installment of the third season, the plot thickens as a major character suffers a heart attack while in court. Is it Harvey? With the “rather unpleasant” work he and Mike have to do for one of the firm’s biggest clients – which TV guide listings are continuously and ominously mentioning – many viewers are speculating yes. However, we all know that writers love a good red herring. While this episode might not beat the Louis/Scottie showdown of last week, it is certainly poised to hold some of the most dramatic moments of the third season.
How I Met Your Mother, “Last Forever, Parts I and II”
Series finale airs Monday, March 31, 2014.
The nine-season-long story of how Ted met his wife comes to an end on March 31 in a double-episode one-hour special. Reeling off of the most recent dramas – notably Robin and Barney’s respective pre-wedding freak-outs and fan speculation as to the potential of the Mother being dead – this is a series finale you do not want to miss. Of course, Ted’s kids must be excited to finally leave their couch after nearly a decade of perhaps too-detailed stories of their dad’s life, but perhaps the die-hard fans are more excited to finally see Ted have a happy ending.
The Mindy Project, “French Me, You Idiot”
Return from hiatus on Tuesday, April 1, 2014.
Just renewed for its third season, the sit-com following Dr. Mindy Lahiri is possibly one of the most underrated hilarious shows on television. Returning from an almost two-month long hiatus on April 1, fans will finally see the resolution of the so-called “epic” kiss between Mindy and Danny. The spring premiere will also deal with the terrible timing of Mindy’s email to Cliff, trying to get him back, and what all of this will mean for her relationship-wise. While it will be hard to beat the “epic-ness” of the winter finale, the fallout might even be more entertaining.
Brooklyn 99, “Charges and Specs”
Season finale aired Tuesday, March 25, 2014.
While this has technically already aired, if you haven’t yet experienced the wonder that is Andy Samberg as a cop, you need to go and download every single episode of this show that exists and watch them all. The show is supported by the most perfect comedic timing and a hilarious cast, most notably Andre Braugher as the emotionless Captain Ray Holt, Melissa Fumero as the clumsy Detective Amy Santiago, Joe Lo Truglio as the well-meaning but ridiculous Detective Charles Boyle, and Terry Crews as…well, essentially, Terry Crews. It’s hilarious, and you should watch it. Now.
Criminal Minds, “Blood Relations”
Next episode airs Wednesday, April 2, 2014.
While this show has arguably been around a little too long (is it or is it not entering into post-Peter CSI territory?) every episode directed by Matthew Gray Gubler – better known as Dr. Spencer Reid – promises to be ridiculously engaging while simultaneously making you wish you didn’t have eyes anymore. The latest Gubler creation has what appears to be a Romeo and Juliet-esque plotline, with the BAU team investigating a long-standing feud between two families in a small town in connection with at least two murders. This next episode is poised to be creepy in all of the right ways.
