Thursday, January 2nd sees the second season of cooking competition The Taste take over for The Quest, which was booted to summer, at 8:00 and limited series The Assets assume Scandal‘s 10:00 slot for eight episodes. The Assets is based on the book Circle of Treason: A CIA Account of Traitor Aldrich Ames and the Men He Betrayed by retired CIA officers Sandra Grimes and Jeanne Vertefeuille. While the next season of The Bachelor premieres Monday, January 6th at 8:00, Killer Women has been slated to debut Tuesday, January 7th at 10:00, taking over a slot that saw Lucky 7 become the first cancellation of the season last month. The series stars Tricia Helfer as a divorced former beauty queen who rises to the top of the Texas Rangers.

Third season comedy Suburgatory returns to Wednesdays on January 15th, when it will take over Back in the Game‘s 8:30 slot. The series is said to have 13 episodes this season following two seasons of being one of the more promising comedies on the network. The ABC Wednesday lineup will also see the debut of Mixology on February 26th at 9:30 when it assumes the post-Modern Family time slot from Super Fun Night. Starring the likes of Vanessa Lengies, Sarah Bolger, and Blake Lee, Mixology takes course over the span of one night at a Manhattan bar. Kyle Killen drama Mind Games, which stars Christian Slater and Steve Zahn, is set to be the final premiere of ABC’s season, picking up the Tuesdays at 10:00 slot from Killer Women beginning March 11th.

The only midseason series that wasn’t scheduled was The Black Box and it seems like that could end up moving to summer unless one of the midseason dramas stumbles or the network wants to replace something like Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. Plans for what will replace Nashville during the country music drama’s planned hiatus have yet to be revealed, but with Black Box having 13 episodes, it doesn’t fit there. Also yet to be released is how ABC plans to handle Sundays between January and the beginning of March with Revenge and Once Upon a Time heading for hiatus soon.

What do you think about ABC’s midseason schedule? Did they make the right choice in moving Revenge back? Which ABC midseason shows will you be watching?

On the next episode of Suburgatory, George has shown up to school to pick Dalia up, something that he never does. It turns out that he and Dallas decided to switch things up regarding how they’d tell the girls about the impending move. While Dallas is off trying to talk to Tessa, George looks to rekindle the special bond that he had with Dalia in order to make the combining of households as painless as possible. To George, Dalia is very matter-of-fact about what’s transpiring and expresses hope that if she and Tessa were to live together, she’d have more time/ability to help her out during tough times, like the recent breakup with Ryan. But the closer that Dalia gets to Tessa, the more likely that something major will happen between them, something that could rip Dallas and George apart for good.

Elsewhere on Suburgatory, Noah becomes obsessed with Carmen even though she’s still seeing Bob, while Sheila launches a chastity campaign in Chatswin and Dallas receives a surprise visitor that could change everything.

The one-hour season finale of Suburgatory airs tonight at 8:00 on ABC.

What have you thought about this season of Suburgatory? Would you like to see George and Dallas work things out and smoothly move in together? What type of hell does Dalia have planned for Tessa?

On the next episode of Suburgatory, George has agreed to pose for a “Dads of Chatswin” calendar, which gives him body image issues he didn’t have before and turns him against Noah and Fred. They try to warn George from participating in the calendar shoot, as they both do it every year and don’t want to be upstaged by the new guy in town, but he’s decided to go through with it and have a little fun in the process. When Suburgatory began, George was the one always pushing Tessa to step outside of her comfort zone and to extend herself to the people around her; although he loves his daughter immensely, he knew that towns like this aren’t the most forgiving to people who go against the norm. Now, though, he’s following his own advice and hoping to become even more accepted by the Chatswin elite. Will the calendar shoot ultimately be a good experience for George?

Elsewhere on Suburgatory, Dalia has mysteriously buddied up to Tessa and Lisa makes it her mission to find out why.

Suburgatory airs Wednesdays at 8:30 on ABC.

What month do you think George will end up with? Will the other dads of Chatswin band together and force him out of the shoot? Are the body image issues that result from agreeing to the shoot going to hurt his relationship with Dallas?

Listed below are the dates, titles, and descriptions of two upcoming episodes of Suburgatory, which will be airing only one repeat from now through the end of the season.

Wednesday, February 27th – “Leaving Chatswin”
When Marty passes away, George is deeply affected and Noah and George have to figure out what to do with his ashes. Meanwhile, Tessa learns that Ryan hasn’t been honest with her, and she has to examine the future of their relationship, as well as her plans for college.

Wednesday, March 6th – “How to Be a Baby”
Dalia takes Mr. Wolfe under her wing to help him get over his breakup with Chef Alan. She convinces him to try a new look and plots to help Mr. Wolfe get revenge for his broken heart.

Suburgatory airs Wednesdays at 9:30 on ABC.

What will Tessa come up with after doing much needed soul searching about her future? Will Mr. Wolfe get over his heartbreak following the time with Dalia? What do you hope to see from the rest of the season?

Tessa and Ryan are heading to an art house movie on one of their date nights; it should be an activity right up her alley and one that bores him to death, only it turns out to be the complete opposite. Tessa hated the movie while Ryan liked it and that difference freaked her out a bit. They’re in the very beginning of their relationship and with that typically comes moon eyes and (seemingly) eternal bliss, so the movie showed Tessa that maybe they’re not in the honeymoon phase anymore. Maybe now’s the time when the work to build their connection into something real begins. With their already clear differences in personality and disposition, they’re going to have to put in that much more time to make their relationship last. Are they ready for that?

Elsewhere on Suburgatory, Sheila’s mother Gam Gam comes to town for a visit. While she turns her daughter into even more of a Type-A worrywart than she was before, Gam makes it her mission to get Lisa and Malik back together. Lisa has recently came around to the idea of being with Malik again, but will it be too late? Can the two make it work?

Suburgatory airs tonight at 9:30 on ABC.

Will Dallas’ advice work for Tessa and mend the minor rift between her and Ryan? What type of procedure do you think Dallas had done? Should Lisa and Malik get back together?

The post Suburgatory 2.13 Sneak Peek: Tessa Goes to Dallas for Advice appeared first on TVHackr.

In creating my list of the top TV episodes of the calendar year, I decided to institute a one-episode-per-show cap. Doing so would allow for a better variety of programs to be given recognition and frankly, it’s boring seeing the same small group of shows mixed and matched on a list like this.

10. Archer S03E08 “Lo Scandalo” (FX)
Air Date: February 16th
Episode Description: Malory turns to Archer and Lana for help when she finds herself in a compromising situation with the Italian prime minister.
Why?: Archer has managed to successfully lampoon and pay tribute to the spy genre for three seasons, but it was a dip into the world of the closed-room murder mystery that was even more impressive. Taking a cue from Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, “Lo Scandalo” finds Malory alone in her apartment with the body of the Italian Prime Minister, who had been shot to death. The only thing is that there were no signs of a break-in and Malory had the only gun in the place, a gun that she said she fired at three intruders before getting hit herself. Although piecing together what happened provided great framework for the episode, it more importantly got every character together in one location and allowed them to bounce their crazy off of one another, climaxing in a wonderfully Archer-ian dinner party and a shrug of an ending is all the funnier for its apathy.

9. Treme S03E10 “Tipitina” (HBO)
Air Date: November 25th
Episode Description: In the Season 3 finale, Janette clashes with Tim over an unauthorized benefit for a local institution. Meanwhile, Davis orchestrates his exit from the music business, but not before one more gig with an old friend; Delmond reconsiders his participation in the jazz center’s plans; Terry vents his frustration over his colleagues’ ostracism; Toni sees a chance for justice in an important case; and Annie’s album gets released.
Why?: The third season finale of Treme could have made for a moving, enormously satisfying series finale. Many of the characters had their stories tied off through departures (Sofia going to college), new beginnings (Sonny getting married), or answers that they had been chasing all season long (Toni and the murder case), and there was enough emotional closure to things like LaDonna’s trial to where it felt like The End. However, on a show like Treme, there’s never really an end; nothing gets wrapped up neatly and tidily, nor will there be any fairy tale conclusions to speak of. Rather, Treme is a story about picking up the pieces following a disaster and surviving, something that will continue no matter how far in the rearview mirror Katrina appears to be.

8. Suburgatory S02E05 “The Wishbone” (ABC)
Air Date: November 14th
Episode Description: Tessa wants to spend Thanksgiving in New York City with her mother, who’s en route from Berlin, and her grandmother, though the holiday doesn’t turn out like she planned. Meanwhile, Dallas recruits George to prepare a feast, but he’s going to need help from a professional.
Why?: Suburgatory has problems deciding if it wants to be a day-glo cartoon satire of the suburban experience or a fairly mellow look at what it means to be an outsider. Its tonal inconsistency can be equally frustrating and exciting, in that you don’t know what shade of the show you’re going to get that week, particularly as it has all the bones to be truly great. The fifth episode of the season was the closest the show’s gotten to greatness and to do so, it had to strip away some of the sheen and amp up the earnestness. While not the funniest episode of the show to date, “The Wishbone” thoughtfully, carefully, and lovingly showcased the first meeting between Tessa and her birth mother, paying mind to the reaction of her father and all the conflicting emotions running in her head. It was sweet, it allowed the supporting cast to feel as real as they’ve ever been (particularly Dallas, whose heart is as big as her closet), and it used the “family holiday” to explore what it means for a family to change shape unexpectedly.

7. Awake S01E01 “Pilot” (NBC)
Air Date: March 1st
Episode Description: In the premiere of this drama, a detective awakens after his family’s car accident to discover he’s living in two parallel worlds. In one, his wife survived the crash and his son perished. In the other, his son continues to live but his wife was killed. While trying to regain footing in his complex double lives, he continues his efforts to crack cases in both worlds.
Why?: The pilot for Awake managed to make a complex premise and the use of two different realities digestible, immediately compelling, and devastatingly beautiful. Through the use of subtle stylistic choices (notably color, but also editing and wardrobe), the episode made both realities distinct places for Detective Michael Britten to try and navigate. The dual therapists, the crossover of tidbits from one world into the next, the grief that Britten has to overcome in order to figure out what’s real – it all should have been convoluted and overly melancholy, but it works outstandingly well in the Awake pilot and made it one of the more exciting shows to debut in 2012. The series as a whole leaned too hard on the cop-drama elements at times, though the cinematic, meditative first episode was as good of a start as they could have hoped for.

6. Californication S05E06 “Love Song” (Showtime)
Air Date: February 12th
Episode Description: Samurai comes down with a case of songwriter’s block and seeks Hank’s help in getting unblocked. So Hank teams with Kali to compose a tune, which harkens back to his first sojourn to Los Angeles with Karen and other happier times with Charlie and Marcy.
Why?: Californication is known for being rude, crude, and unapologetically lewd, a comedy dripping in machismo and reeking of beer and lost opportunity. It can be equal parts offensive and awesome, powerful and pungent, but no episode from the entire run matches “Love Song,” a romantic flashback-heavy installment that actually fleshed out the Karen/Hank dynamic while letting Hank be creative. We’re told that he’s this brilliant writer and that multiple industries (music, film, book) all want to work with the mad scientist, though “Love Song” is one of the few times where the hype and the results have matched one another. Hank is someone who is always capital-O On and doesn’t let down his guard that easily, making the choice to frame a songwriting session bent on producing a love song with the happier times of his marriage all the more poignant.

5. Veep S01E08 “Tears” (HBO)
Air Date: June 10th
Episode Description: In the Season 1 finale, a Ohio gubernatorial candidate balks at Selina’s endorsement due to her current unpopularity, but Mike and Amy try to make the best of the vice president’s emotions during their meeting. Meanwhile, Dan can’t shake the clean-jobs bill debacle, especially when it could be the subject of a Congressional hearing.
Why?: Throughout the cynical first season of Veep, VP Selina Meyer dealt with an onslaught of bad press and poor professional breaks that led her to become frustrated with the position. It’s a wonder that, after going so long without an unqualified win and seeing any political clout she had in this country vanish, she didn’t cry sooner, really. “Tears”, darkly acidic and cleverly plotted, finds the Veep on the campaign trail once again and attempting to turn a bad event into something she can use to her advantage, which shockingly works – for a while, at least. If there’s one lesson to learn from Veep, it’s that nothing ever changes in politics; all people like Selina, Dan, and Amy are faceless cogs in the machine that serve their purpose before being replaced by a newer, fresher model. If Selina can’t halt the inquiry into the Macauley amendment next season, her replacement will be coming sooner rather than later.

4. Justified S03E10 “Guy Walks into a Bar” (FX)
Air Date: March 20th
Episode Description: Raylan struggles to keep Dickie Bennett in prison while also contending with the increasingly violent and unpredictable Quarles. Meanwhile, Boyd’s election in Harlan is approaching.
Why?: No other Justified villain will ever match up to the presence of Mags Bennett, but Robert Quarles was a damn good replacement nonetheless. His friendly persona among the Harlan residents masked a troubled man inside, a man who continued to struggle in moving on from childhood trauma and a man who would stop at nothing to fill the hole within himself with power, land, and money. In addition to a chillingly acted, impressively directed altercation between Quarles and Raylan at a local bar, the episode featured an unpacking of the man Robert Quarles is and the type of demons he had to fight to get this far. It made the man sympathetic for the first time by revealing how disturbed he was, which also raised the stakes for the rest of the season; once you knew what Quarles was capable of, he became more of a threat to Raylan and someone who needed to be put down before he got anyone else hurt.

3. Boardwalk Empire S03E11 “Two Impostors” (HBO)
Air Date: November 25th
Episode Description: Nucky and Eddie hide out with Chalky when Gyp descends on Atlantic City, where his band of thugs takes over the Artemis Club, forcing Gillian to reconsider her business model. Meanwhile, Luciano makes a risky move; and Richard suffers a setback.
Why?: For the past two seasons, Boardwalk Empire has managed to take its dangling plot threads and weave them together seamlessly during the final episodes, bringing enemies crashing against one another and paying off long-standing tension. Like the sublime “Under God’s Power She Flourishes”, “Two Impostors” was a highlight of its respective season, managing to make enthralling action (Nucky escaping his residence with Mr. Kessler after having to gun down three of Masseria’s men), political chess (Eli striking a deal with Capone and Torrio, Chalky backing Nucky rather than defecting to Gyp), and an impending sense of dread (Gillian being boxed in by Gyp, Owen’s ill-fated trip to the baths) coalesce into the sprawling, deeply satisfying hour of television.

2. Homeland S02E04 “Q&A” (Showtime)
Air Date: October 28th
Episode Description: Brody finds himself imprisoned again, only this time it’s in the United States. Meanwhile, Carrie’s rash judgment call at the hotel results in Estes trying to keep Jessica off their trail; and Dana’s relationship with Finn heats up as their date night takes an unexpected turn.
Why?: Once Carrie pulled the trigger on bringing Brody in for interrogation, I figured that Homeland would take a breath and feel out the next move it would make; the show had already executed several major plot twists in a row by this point and, in the interest of not burning through too much story, it seemed likely that they would slow down before revving up again. Not so. While the car accident was jarring and felt out-of-place at the time, it eventually tied in thematically with the rest of the season, casting Walden as a victim and pulling Dana farther from her father, and the nearly 15-minute uninterrupted interrogation of Brody by Carrie might’ve contained the best acting you’ll see in any episode of television from 2012.

1. Spartacus: Vengeance S03E05 “Libertus” (Starz)
Air Date: February 24th
Episode Description: Spartacus undertakes a mission to rescue Crixus from the Romans, but a famous gladiator from the House of Atiatus interferes with the plan; Ilithyia’s scheming begins to affect her marriage to Glaber.
Why?: The arena was the centerpiece of the Spartacus world, the culmination of the gladiators’ training and a source of entertainment to the bored Capuan masses. So much of the drama either took place in the arena or was focused on the different Houses jockeying for position that it seemed likely that it would be a part of the show’s DNA until the series finale, but in one breathtaking sequence Spartacus and his men destroyed the place they once felt most at home in. It was the final symbol of the season-long rebellion, it stirred the pot with Glaber, and it was only the fifth episode of the season.

The Next 10:

12. Scandal S01E06 “The Trail”

On the next episode of Suburgatory, George gets confronted by his past in the form of good friends Theo and Cyrus, who surprise him with a visit one afternoon. They catch George gardening in a pink polo, khakis, and sun hat, the same outfit that Sheila Shay was wearing, and tell him that he was nearly unrecognizable; the new clothes come courtesy of a makeover from Dallas and believe it or not, George takes to the color-and-khaki combination more than you’d think. Part of that may be due to wanting to please his girlfriend, but George has gotten more comfortable in Chatswin and his personality might have changed enough where the idea of ditching the flannel didn’t make him cringe (anymore).

However, being around people from his old life will wake him up to just how comfortable he’s gotten in the land of well-manicured lawns and endless sports utility vehicles. Even though George may have approached the move with a fairly open mind, I don’t think anybody, himself especially, could have expected something like this to happen.

Elsewhere on Suburgatory, Malik leaves Lisa alone for a couple of days and as a result, she becomes more attached to Tessa; however, their time together leaves one of them in the hospital with a case of food poisoning.

Suburgatory airs Wednesdays at 9:30.

Do you think that George has gotten a little too into the suburban life? Will Theo and Cyrus be able to bring the New York back out of George? How great is the idea of George and Sheila being twinsies?
