Quotes of the Week from DC's Legends of Tomorrow, The 100 & More!

Thursdays really had things rolling this week as Heroes limped off for the second time in television history while DC's Legends of Tomorrow roared onto the night with so many quotable moments, making it one of the most purely enjoyable hours on the telly in ages.

That was followed by the triumphant return of The 100 and they are never lacking for witty dialog.

TBS had 25 hours of essentially commercial-free Angie Tribeca to giggle over while Supernatural set the Devil into a new body, but gave Sam the right of first refusal. You can see how well he took that in the quote in this show.

Find out what else was going on around the dial when you scroll through the slideshow!

New Girl Season 5 Episode 4 Review: No Girl

$

Schmidt really does love sushi!

It was a little odd going into New Girl Season 5 Episode 4, knowing Jess wouldn't be in the loft with her friends, but it seemed to work out well. It definitely proved that, while Jess is the glue which holds the friends together, they can get by without her – even with a few bumps in the road.

Let's not waste anymore time and discuss, "No Girl."

Winston continues to be the MVP of New Girl. It doesn't matter what situation he is in, he makes it hilarious.

I wasn't shocked he was the one who missed Jess the most out of all the roommates. It's been no secret Winston goes to Jess for all advice on women.

I understood where Winston was coming from when it came to Casey. All of Winston's relationships have been terrible.

His track record with the ladies just isn't great. It's no wonder he would automatically assume Casey was cheating on him. 

I figured Casey would break up with him one she saw the photos he posted. Winston's reaction was fantastic, but he really shouldn't take Cece's advice anymore.

On the plus side, it made for some wonderful moments between Winston and Cece which is a rarity.

The great thing about not having Jess in the apartment is the different interactions between the friends. Rarely have we seen Winston and Cece discuss things without one of the other friends being around.

It's a welcomed, and refreshing, change of pace and a way for them to strengthen the relationships between each friend.

Speaking of relationships, the Nick and Schmidt relationship continued to be wonderfully awkward. I have to give Nick credit for thinking of Tokyo as the place for the bachelor party.

I knew the moment Winston asked about how they were going to pay for the trip Nick would come up with something crazy.

It was actually a pretty smart idea to rent out Jess's room while she's gone. Nick would be the one to already purchase the tickets to Tokyo before they even had the money to go.

Just when I think Nick is starting to have great ideas he goes and does something stupid – he gets credit for trying to come up with a quick solution.

I do admit it was pretty comical when Schmidt helped Nick out by trying to make the loft a boutique hotel with the friends as the staff.

Did they really think the others would be on board? I'm not really sure where Nick found these people, but I could totally watch a spin-off of the guests who stayed at the loft.

In the end, Winston and Cece's friendship grew even more. I could not stop laughing when Cece told Casey Winston died and he jumped out of the buses.

At least he was right about Casey cheating on him. I really hope they get a good girl for Winston soon.

Don't feel bad if you missed out! You can watch New Girl online via TV Fanatic anytime. Just make sure to come back to let us know what you think.

New Girl Season 5 Episode 5 Review: Bob & Carol & Nick & Schmidt

Can Winston sing and dance every week?

On New Girl Season 5 Episode 5, Nick had some guidance from Schmidt regarding a truly huge life changing event. Even though Schmidt has no boundaries when it comes to Nick, I've always understood his protective nature. Schmidt doesn't want to see his best friend make a huge mistake.

Let's get right down to things and discuss, "Bob & Carol & Nick & Schmidt."

I was completely on Schmidt's side when it came to Nick donating his sperm to Bob and Carol. Nick has done such a great job of getting his life back on tracks. I understood Nick wanted to help out his family, but there are other ways of going about it. I figured Schmidt would get into Nick's head.

I may have your entire life planned out on my computer. I made a spreadsheet and everything. I worked on it this morning.

Schmidt

Of course Bob and Carol would make things even more awkward by asking Nick to have sex with Carol. Apparently the entire Miller family just dives right into major life decisions. On the plus side, the sperm subplot wasn't completely terrible thanks to Nick's gung-ho attitude about the whole thing. 

Meanwhile, the Winston and Cece relationship continued to grow which makes me exceptionally happy. Did Cece really think things would be easy when it came to Winston bringing her to the appointment? I couldn't help but laugh when Winston was talking about bringing a fan with him so Cece could have wind in her hair.

I did like how they addressed why Cece was going dress shopping without Jess. It's being made clear Winston is basically taking Jess's spot while she's gone. It makes complete sense, but I guarantee it's going to cause some problems when she does end up coming back. 

It's obvious the show is going in the direction of the friends basically moving on with their lives while Jess is gone. They are forming closer bonds and making decisions about their own lives. Will Jess have a hard time acclimating herself back into the loft? No, and it will probably be solved within one episode, but it should be interesting to see what happens.

Going back to Winston and Cece, the entire dress montage was hilarious. Winston really does make the most stressful situations even more relaxed. It was enjoyable seeing Cece let her hair down and just have some fun. Winston certainly brings out a different side to Cece; though they shouldn't have had so much to drink. 

I may or may not have done an extensive amount of research on wedding dresses.

Winston

The dress Cece ended up getting was beyond ridiculous, but I could see how intoxicated people would love it. Thank goodness Jess will be able to fix the monstrosity before the wedding, but Schmidt's reaction of passing out was pretty great. 

In the end, I was beyond happy Nick got overwhelmed and didn't have sex with Carol. His life is on the right tracks and eventually Nick will meet the a great girl. Nick's just not ready to be a dad, let alone be the father to a child he wouldn't see as much. 

Want to relieve Cece and Winston shopping for wedding dresses? Go watch New Girl online now via TV Fanatic. Just make sure to come back to let us know what you think. 

17 Hilarious Attempts at Hiding Pregnancies on TV

$

Sometimes actresses get pregnant, and writing it into the show is not always an option.

Instead, shows have to get creative and find ways to hide the pregnancies. This has been done numerous ways, from shooting only the neck up, having the actress mostly sitting, or plopping random objects in front of them.

Some of these shows legitimately tried to hide the pregnancies, while others opted to poke fun at the obvious baby bumps.

Check out our list of 17 of our favorite attempts to hide a pregnancy on TV!

1. Snow - Once Upon A Time

Snow once upon a time
Is she trying to hide a baby or did she just shoplift a tv? OUaT decided to write in Ginnifer Goodwin's pregnancy, but that only applied to Storybrook. The baby bump still had to be concealed for Snow's scenes in the Enchanted Forest, and they figured enormous cloaks were the way to go.

2. Amy - Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Amy brooklyn nine nine
Amy's usual pant suits were probably not the best way to hide a pregnancy, so Brooklyn Nine-Nine sent Jake and Amy on a cruise full of flowy Hawaiian shirts, giant purses, and hand rails to use to cover Melissa Fumero's growing baby bump!

3. Olivia - Scandal

Olivia scandal
Scandal came up with all kinds of ways to hide Kerry Washington's pregnancy including strategic use of lamps. Still, this one is funny because she's sitting on the floor when there's a perfectly comfortable couch right behind her. It is probably a good thing they ended the season early, because they were clearly running out of ideas!

4. Leslie - Parks and Recreation

Leslie parks and recreation
Not too many shows can say they used a time capsule to hide an actress's pregnancy, but Parks and Rec can! Leslie is holding all kinds of stuff in this picture, but was she supposed to be holding it a little lower? It's not exactly effective in hiding the bump.

5. Claire - Modern Family

Claire modern family
Julie Bowen was pregnant with twins when shooting the pilot for Modern Family, so producers had to get creative - hiding her belly behind laundry, blankets, etc. Apparently her family even made a drinking game out of watching the pilot and drank every time they did something to hide it!

6. Meredith/Lexie/Arizona - Grey's Anatomy

Meredith slash lexie slash arizona greys anatomy
Grey's had to go through this a few times. They shipped Arizona off to Africa for a couple of months, made Lexie "stress eat" and comment on the weight she was gaining, and had Meredith donate a portion of her liver to her father. At least Grey's can get away with baggy scrubs and large lab coats.

27 Breakups That Broke Our Hearts

$

Here at TV Fanatic, we love love. 
 
When our favorite TV couples get together, our hearts soar with happiness. We revel in every date, every kiss, and basically every moment of our favorite character’s relationships. 
 
Which is why it’s so darn devastating when our favorite couples decide to call it quits. 
 
Just as we’re happy when love is in the air, we’re just as devastated when the love is suddenly gone.
 
Some break ups are easy to see coming, others were shockers, but there’s one thing that each of these break ups were: completely heartbreaking. 
 
See which break ups made our list of the most devastating and share some of the ones that broke your heart with us in the comments!

1. Stefan and Elena, The Vampire Diaries

Stefan and elena the vampire diaries
We knew it was coming. These high school sweethearts made us squeal happily in the first few seasons of the CW hit. However, after Elena became a vampire, her attraction to Damon was undeniable and their chemistry was top notch. It didn’t make it any less heartbreaking when Stefan stepped aside to let Elena follow her heart. While many of us still hold out for the two to reunite before The Vampire Diaries ends for good, it seems highly unlikely.

2. Buffy and Angel, Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy and angel buffy the vampire slayer
Angel did the noble thing in leaving Sunnydale in order for Buffy to move on, but why, oh why, did it have to happen like this? Their final dance together at the prom was Buffy’s happiest and saddest moment and left us all cursing Angel’s spinoff series, Angel.

3. Rick and Kate, Castle

Rick and kate castle
When Kate told her husband Rick that she needed to get in her right head, and figure things out before they could live happily ever after, we’re not sure who was more stunned. Was it Rick, the actual man being spoken to, or was it fans of the long running series who finally believed that the will-they-won’t-they couple were going to be happy forever? This breakup left us just as gobsmacked as Rick.

4. Luke and Lorelai, Gilmore Girls

Luke and lorelai gilmore girls
This was the breakup we all saw coming, but hoped it changed directions. Luke and Lorelai had a rough time communicating before the revelation of his daughter, April, but after? It became a real chore for Stars Hollow’s power couple. Lorelai’s ultimatum to Luke didn’t end the way she, nor the audience (oh, the Christopher timeline…), had hoped it would.

5. Jane and Michael, Jane the Virgin

Jane and michael jane the virgin
We know that Jane needed to take a break from guys to focus on the one who most mattered, her son Mateo. But to watch Jane’s heartbreak after finally realizing what Michael meant to her, only to have it ripped away, killed us. Can’t these two just make it stick?!

6. Dean and Lisa, Supernatural

Dean and lisa supernatural
What would life be like for the Winchesters if they walked away from hunting? We got to find out in season six when Dean stopped hunting and shacked up with old girlfriend Lisa and her young son. Dean became a family man, a surrogate dad, and unafraid of the things that went bump in the night. But the danger to Lisa became all too real when the supernatural found Dean again, and so Dean asked Castiel to remove all of hers and Ben’s memories of him. Dean, you almost had it all. We know, it hurt.

How does the song go? You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss?

Well, sometimes a kiss is WAY more than just a kiss. 

When the couple we root for lock lips, a part of our hearts swells up 10 times and we feel the heat.

You may even replay those kisses over and over again on our DVR's computers, and cell phones. (Don't pretend you haven't saved a few of these GIF's in your gallery!)

While the shows and circumstances are all quite different for each of these, but one thing can be said for every kiss on this list: every one was damn satisfying.

There are hundred of incredible kisses in the history of television, so narrowing down this list wasn't easy. If your favorite kiss isn't listed here, don't dismay! Please share it with us in the comments! We love hearing from you!

 

 

1. Clarke and Lexa, The 100

Clarke and lexa the 100
Listen, we can argue over Clarke's love life for hours upon hours after watching The 100, but let's just all agree that Clarke and Lexa's first kiss is pretty fantastic. Clarke may not have been ready to move on just yet, but it was pretty clear that she was really into Lexa.

2. Oliver and Felicity, Arrow

Happy girl arrow season 4 episode 13
I don't feel like I should need to expand upon this GIF, I mean, LOOK at it. But Oliver and Felicity's first kiss included not just an incredible smooch, but also the reveal of Oliver admitting what fans already knew; he was totally in love with Ms. Smoak.

3. Alicia and Will, The Good Wife

Alicia and will the good wife
No elevator ride will ever be this sexy, I guarantee it. Will and Alicia's sexual tension was off the charts. And then this moment, one that was written perfectly, executed perfectly...the perfect kiss. Let's not think about how this story ends, because it really hurts too much. Let's just stare at this GIF over and over and over...

4. Rory and Jess, Gilmore Girls

Rory and jess gilmore girls
After nearly an entire season of flirting, adorable teenage glances, and driving each other crazy in the best way, Rory finally admitted to her feelings for Jess and planted one on him at Sookie and Jackson's wedding. It was everything that a satisfying teenage kiss should be: fast, sudden, and butterfly-inducing.

5. Jim and Pam, The Office

Jim and pam the office
Casino Night was really emotional for Pam and Jim. She bested him at poker, took all his money, and then was blind-sighted by his admission of love to her. Things got even more emotional when Jim, in a suicide mission to win Pam's affection, kissed her in the dark Dunder Mifflin office. And The Office would never, ever be the same again.

6. Josh and Donna, The West Wing

Josh and donna the west wing
Who knew that an election could elicit such sexual energy? After nearly seven years of pining for one another, and seven years of waiting and buildup for fans at home, Josh celebrated the news that his candidate, Santos, was ahead in the polls in California by kissing Donna. It gave new meaning to the sentiment, “I'm so happy I could kiss you.” And what a kiss it was...

New Girl Season 5 Episode 6 Review: Reagan

$

Never surprise a woman in a dark hotel room.

The introduction of Reagan on New Girl Season 5 Episode 6 made me miss Jess even more.

I really think New Girl could have done well without introducing a new roommate.

They could have approached Jess being gone by having a revolving door of guest stars renting out Jess's room.

This doesn't mean I didn't like Reagan because I really enjoyed Megan Fox's performance. Reagan doesn't mince words and she pushes the guys to be men.

She's definitely going to add an entirely different dynamic in the group which we haven't seen before, but I do miss Jess' quirky personality.

Was anyone else surprised Schmidt hasn't gotten a ring for Cece? With the way Schmidt is, I figured he would have already had the perfect ring picked out for her. It just seemed a little out of character that Schmidt didn't immediately go to a jeweler the moment he proposed to Cece. 

I wasn't shocked to learn Schmidt's jealousy has grown even more since being engaged to Cece. I figured the guys hitting on Cece at the bar would eventually get to him.

I found myself agreeing with Cece about being a bartender and getting hit on being part of the job. Of course, Schmidt's response to the men who hit on her was pretty hilarious. 

This woman is engaged. Her number belongs to God now, thank you.

Schmidt

I really want him to get into a healthy relationship. It has been far too long since Nick has been given a good romantic partner. Ali was right about Nick having to look at his love life a little more realistically; though I don't think him, or Winston, should give up on wanting to feel magic.

Of course Nick wouldn't listen to his own advice and immediately became attracted to Reagan who's out of his league. Winston gets credit for at least knowing Reagan and Nick wouldn't be a great match. 

Speaking of Reagan, I saw the twist coming about her knowing one of the friends. The whole Reagan and Cece hooking up subplot was really just a way for Schmidt to be jealous some more.

Cece has never done anything to make Schmidt think she's going to cheat on him, so I didn't understand why he was so nervous about Reagan. 

In the end, Reagan was able to make Schmidt man up and stop being so darn jealous. I was pleased the whole jealous thing only lasted one episode because I don't think I could take it much longer. Now I'm just looking forward to seeing what kind of ring he ends up buying for Cece.

The best part was when the friends invited Reagan to come move in with them. I couldn't stop laughing when they were all sitting in the dark to surprise her.

Poor Nick would be the one to get kicked in the head, but hey, they now have a new roommate in Reagan – until Jess makes her way back to the loft.

13 Female Friendships That Embody Galentine's Day

It's the sixth anniversary of Leslie Knope introducing Galentine's Day into our lives, and it's falling on a Saturday this year, which means extended brunch! So heat up your waffle irons, stock up on Redi-Whip, and mix up those mimosas! 

If you didn't have time to embroider your friend's faces onto pillow, or prepare fifty page essays on what makes them beautiful, unique unicorns, or even to merely buy a card, fear not! After your frittata, do as any good TV Fanatic does, and suggest a marathon of friendships. 

We've narrowed in on thirteen terrific female friendships for you and your girls to enjoy this year. From those old familiar faces to fledgling attachments, we've got it all!

Just remember what today is for: "Ladies celebrating ladies. It's like Lilith Fair, without the angst. Plus frittatas!"

1. Parks & Recreation: Leslie, Ann, & April

Last night in pawnee
You can't talk about Galentine's Day without mentioning founder Leslie Knope and her gals. Leslie is basically the best friend anyone could hope for, an epic cheerleader for all the ladies in her life. She will get you the absolutely perfect gift, show up with a nine-point plan in a binder to solve any problem, and stick by you no matter what. And there's a trickle down effect to everyone who knows her. Pawnee is probably the best city in America to be a woman in.

2. Broad City: Abbi & Ilana

Broad city abby and ilana
These two friends might be a little too close. They hardly ever fight, and will do basically anything for one another -- be it getting rid of the other's poop to avoid a romantic catastrophe, or carrying her in your arms to the ER. Their adventures are hilarious, if rarely intentional. No matter how chaotic things get, everything's all right as long as they're together.

3. Friends: Monica, Phoebe, & Rachel

Friends monica phoebe and rachel
These three were more than friends: at one point or another they all lived with one another. If a friendship can survive sharing a small bathroom and division of household chores, it can survive anything. Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel couldn't have *been* more different, but they loved each other all the more for it. Even if Monica did end up having to live with a boy.

4. The Big Bang Theory: Penny, Bernadette, & Amy

Embarassing moments the big bang theory
This unlikely trio really lucked out -- it's not often that your boyfriend's best friend's girlfriend's are people you genuinely *like*. These girls went beyond just being "couple friends" and became BFFs. From commisserating over the guys love of all things nerd to wine nights and shoe shopping, these ladies have really (covalent) bonded.

5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Buffy & Willow

Buffy the vampire slayer buffy and willow
Buffy and Willow undoubtedly have one of the strongest friendships in TV history. You can find actual dissertations on their relationship. But the bottom line is that they love one another unreservedly. They may disagree with one another, but they never judge personal choices. They are both willing to go to (literally) insane lengths for one another. Goddess help whomever (or wahtever) tries to come between these two friends.

6. Downton Abbey: Lady Violet & Isobel

Downton abbey lady violet and isobel
These two grand-dames probe that you don't have to be nice to your friends to care about them. The ladies constantly trade barbs, but even when their fights take a more serious turn, they're truly concerned about each other. What's a little competition between friends after all?

17 Characters We'd Love to Be our Valentines

Love is in the air...

It's Valentine's Day and many single guys and gals are scrambling for a date on this most romantic night of the year. 

And then there's folks who are ditching the dates and sticking to their television sets! 

If you're without a Valentine this year, we've compiled a list of TV characters who'd make EXCELLENT Valentines. 

For those of you who've already got a date, get inspired for your evening with the men and women on our list!

Don't forget to tell us who you'd choose to be your Valentine!

1. Tony DiNozzo, NCIS

Tony dinozzo ncis
Tony DiNozzo is the “Very Special Agent” we’d like to take home for Valentine’s Day. Admittedly, the guy has had lousy luck in love. His former strictly work partner, Kate was killed. Ziva took off to parts unknown leaving him behind. His relationship with Jeanne was for an undercover mission but we think there was a sliver of truth in the words “I love you”, even if Tony denies it. Given he’s single once again, Tony could be up for a movie marathon and other fun this Valentine’s Day.

2. Belle French, Once Upon a Time

Belle french once upon a time
Belle's had such a rough time in the romance department. We'd love to give her many roses (not just one!) and talk about literature over an awesome cup of tea. Belle would be the ideal Valentine, maybe even a happily ever after Valentine!

3. Rick Castle, Castle

Rick castle castle
Rick Castle is the perfect Valentine. He’s handsome. He’s funny. He’s smart. He’s rich. He’s a great dad and best of all he’s got a great, big… heart. Yes, we know he’s married to the supposed love of his life but these days it’s a little hard to tell what’s really going on between he and Kate Beckett. So if Rick Castle is available, we definitely want him to be our Valentine.

4. Cary Agos, The Good Wife

Cary agos the good wife
There's no one we'd rather have a healthy Valentine's Day argument with than this handsome lawyer. Cary can make us swoon with his charming smile while dazzling us with romance. This is one Valentine we wouldn't object to!

5. Bonnie Bennett, The Vampire Diaries

Bonnie bennett the vampire diaries
Who wouldn't mind having Bonnie Bennett cast a spell on them for Valentine's Day? She's gorgeous, she's smart, she can make us laugh and cry, and most importantly, she can literally make us walk on air.

6. Cisco Ramon, The Flash

Cisco ramon the flash
Oh Cisco. First of all, the man's got brains - he's a brilliant engineer. On top of that, he's hilarious and witty, he's impossibly cute, he wears awesome t-shirts, he's loyal and devoted to his friends. Also, as if all that wasn't enough, he's a geek after my own heart AND he has superpowers. Not to mention a big, loving heart. And that hair. Seriously. Cisco Ramon could be my valentine any day of the week.

These ladies aren't afraid to show everyone who's boss.

From the incredible mentors and the fun-loving women we wish we could work for, to the powerful ones we wouldn't want to cross, here are 17 of the most awesome female bosses on TV.

1. Diane Lockhart (The Good Wife)

Diane lockhart the good wife

Lorelai gilmore gilmore girls
The fast talking, passionate Lorelai Gilmore (Lauren Graham) started as a maid at the Independence Inn, worked her way up to management, then eventually became the owner of the Dragonfly with Sookie. And hey, there's good news, because we haven't seen the last of Lorelai or The Dragonfly, since a Gilmore Girls revival is coming to Netflix!

3. Jessica Pearson (Suits)

Jessica pearson suits
The bottom line? Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) on Suits gets things done, and she does it with grace. She's fiercly loyal, intelligent, and reliable. Just whatever you do, don't get on her bad side.

4. Camille Saroyan (Bones)

Camille saroyen bones
Camille Saroyan (Tamara Taylor) is the kind of boss we'd all like to be able to work for. She looks out for her people, bends the rules when she has to (maybe too often) and she isn't afraid to get her hands... um... dirty.

5. Claire Dunphy (Modern Family)

Claire dunphy modern family
Claire (Julie Bowen) on Modern Family may be still finding her footing as the boss at Pritchett's closets, but hey, she's trying. Don't ever underestimate Claire Dunphy.

6. Cookie Lyon (Empire)

Cookie lyons empire
Is there anyone tougher than Empire's Cookie Lyon? No, we didn't think so either. Played by Taraji P Henson, Cookie is an intelligent, outspoken, and she's nothing if not a force to be reckoned with.

New Girl Season 5 Episode 7 Review: Wig

I wasn't the only one who could relate to Cece making a bed, right?

On New Girl Season 5 Episode 7, Winston quickly proved he's the Jess of the loft while she's away. Winston taking on many of Jess's personality traits has made me miss Jess a little less, but I'm still ready to welcome her back with open arms.

Winston really is the perfect one to take on Jess's role because he wants to be liked by everyone. Even though some of the things he does are questionable he means well and his heart is in the right place.

Before I get ahead of myself let's get right down to it and discuss, "Wig."

I really understood why they wouldn't have Reagan immediately bond with the other roommates. She's clearly been on her own for a long time, and it would be out of character for her to jump into their madness. I would imagine they'll have Jess come back right as Reagan is starting to get close with everyone. 

It also wasn't a huge shock to learn Winston would have the biggest problem with Reagan not wanting to hang out with them. He's always been the one person who wants complete unity in the group – he gets major props for at least trying.

The only problem I had with Winston was the reminder of him sucking at relationships.

How many times can we be reminded of Winston failing in all of his relationships? It's a gag which is starting to wear thin. I admit I laughed at the various ways Winston has been broken up with, but it is time for this man to get into a functioning relationship. I figure they'll put Winston and Ali together soon.

Of course the one relationship I am already tired of is the one between Nick and Reagan. I don't understand why he is so hung up on her. While Reagan is extremely attractive, there's just no chemistry between the two of them.

On the other hand a case could easily be made about how much Reagan and Nick are alike.

They're both horrible at relationships, especially breakups, and they both aren't great in social situations. Nick can easily be seen as the loner of the group, but I still don't think things would work out between him and Reagan.

Either way Nick needs to get some type of hobby because Cece and Schmidt are in desperate need of some alone time.

The sexual innuendoes Cece and Schmidt were throwing around were absolutely hilarious; though they made no sense. At least the two of them attempted to get Nick to get over his attraction to Reagan, even though the wig concept was ridiculous. Did they really think Nick wouldn't over-think things?

In the end, Winston was able to help Reagan break up with her girlfriend.

With the way Reagan is I was surprised she had never broken up with anyone. At least we learned Reagan does have a heart and doesn't want to hurt people. I did enjoy how all the friends rallied behind Reagan – they are pretty great roommates.

It's time to break out those dancing shoes and get down with some of our favorite TV characters!

Some of the goofiest and most memorable moments of our favorite TV series involved dance numbers, and we decided to showcase some of the best.

How many of these slick moves do you remember? Which ones made you laugh the hardest?

Scroll through our slideshow and let us know your favorites in the comments!

1. Dancing It Out - Grey's Anatomy

Any fan of Grey's knows dancing is necessary for these characters to deal with all the darkness and drama that surrounds them. The "twisted sisters" especially use it as a form of therapy throughout the series.

2. The Routine - Friends

The routine friends
Could "the Routine" be any more ridiculous? Ross and Monica's eighth grade dance was not going to successfully get them on TV during New Year's Rockin' Eve...well, except for the blooper reel.

3. Slo-Mo Chicken Dance - New Girl

Jess is excited to join her new roommates at a wedding, but they are afraid she will embarrass them and don't appreciate her uncool love of the Chicken Dance. However, after each has a disappointing evening, they all bond while chicken dancing to "A Groovy Kind of Love"

4. Zumba - Chicago Fire

Zumba chicago fire
Brett discovering that Cruz was a zumba instructor gave us one of the funniest moments ever on the series. While some of the guys had some skill, it was impossible not to laugh at the not-so-coordinated firefighters.

5. Snake Juice - Parks and Recreation

Snake juice parks and recreation
The whole Parks department showed up to support Tom's nightclub, the Snakehole lounge, and the unveiling of his new drink, Snake Juice. Hilarity ensued as they all got incredibly drunk, and we were treated to Ron cutting it loose!

6. Once More With Feeling - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Once more with feeling buffy the vampire slayer
One of the best episodes of the series, the musical episode of Buffy was full of song and dance. While a lot of the subject matter was serious, the music made it fun. Who knew these actors were so talented?

New Girl Season 5 Episode 8 Review: The Decision

Winston just can't catch a break!

On New Girl Season 5 Episode 8, Reagan came up with a brilliant idea to get Winston and Nick to finally make a decision about something. To be honest I was a little nervous about where things were going to go with Reagan, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Let's get down to it and discuss, "The Decision."

I'm actually liking the way Reagan is being written. She gets straight to the point and brings out a different side to the guys. Winston and Nick would be the ones to take what Reagan said seriously and really try to figure out who should sleep with her.

I always look forward to the Nick and Winston moments because they're some of the most memorable. It was hilarious hearing them bicker back and fourth about who is the better man.

The only think I continue to dislike is how naive Nick and Winston have become. It seems like every season it has only gotten worse.

Nick and Winston started the series with some intelligence and they have evolved into these completely moronic men.

While it can be absolutely hilarious at times, it can also get old extremely fast. I just want Nick and Winston to get back some of the confidence they once had because they are sorely lacking in that department.

At least we were treated to a flashback of Nick and Winston when they were younger which never gets old. I did enjoy Winston and Nick's reaction after hearing Reagan telling Winston all the things he needs to do before they have sex.

Of course Winston would start to show his insecurities and confide in his partner Ali which I think everyone figured he had feelings for her. 

The one thing I really did like was Schmidt and Cece having their own storyline. As much as I enjoy all the friends together it was time for Schmidt and Cece to plan their wedding. I don't blame the two of them for getting competitive when Benjamin showed up.

I couldn't help but laugh at the couples when they were fighting over the venue and telling the story of how each couple met. What would make Cece go with them being cousins?

It was sweet the way Schmidt decided to hold off on getting the venue since they didn't have the money. They might be ridiculous at times, but Cece and Schmidt are perfect together.

In the end, Schmidt and Cece made the decision to get married in the soon to be abandoned warehouse.

I still think there's a possibility of something happening at the fancier venue, but either way I'm looking forward to seeing how this wedding comes together. Who else is ready for this wedding to get underway?

Practice makes perfect especially when it comes to perfecting your cop voice. 

On New Girl Season 5 Episode 9, Nick continued to be outlandishly stubborn when it came to bringing an air conditioner into the loft.

I'm still completely perplexed about why Nick was so hurt over Reagan bringing in an air conditioner they needed so badly. 

Air Conditioning - New Girl

I understood Nick feeling hurt because Reagan didn't appreciate his wild invention to produce cool air into the loft, but it still made absolutely no sense. It all just seemed like a stale ploy to get Nick to finally admit his feelings to Reagan. Even though everyone and their mother knew Nick had feelings for her. 

Nick's feelings for Reagan haven't exactly been a secret since the first day he met her.

I actually figured Nick's crush on Reagan had already been discussed and we were finally going to move on to other things. I admit the scene of him telling her he had a crush was absolutely adorable, but how can we get behind a couple when we know isn't going to last?

This is where my biggest problem comes in to play. We all know Reagan isn't going to be a permanent fixture in the loft, which makes it difficult to get behind Nick and Reagan as a couple.

Nick really should have taken Winston and Schmidt's advice and tried to get over his crush on Reagan because I only see heartbreak in his future. 

Speaking of Winston, I couldn't help but laugh at his cop voice. Was anyone really surprised to learn Winston practiced it in the bathroom?

I really liked how they didn't dumb down Winston too much and actually had him being the boss of the loft. I was thrilled when he told Schmidt to be honest with Cece about her audition and get her to open up. 

I can't say I was particularly surprised to learn Cece was nervous about failing. She has succeeded at modeling and even bar tending, so I could see why she was nervous.

Of course she probably should have sobered up before heading into the audition. Who else wants to see more video of Cece's intoxicated audition? Between Cece and Winston there were a lot of laughs. 

Now it's your turn! Can you get behind Nick and Reagan as a couple? Are you ready for Jess to make her way back to the loft?

23 Times TV Characters Tried to Get Fit

Not every TV character is a superhero.

THANK GAWD.

Because if some of the characters we've known through the years were forced to get fit for the job, they may not be able to do it. 

If Liz Lemon from 30 Rock was going to eat a McDonald's sundae every time she slowly meandered on the treadmill, for example, she's not going to be Wonder Woman!

She would, however, continue to entertain us.

See who else got the entertainment part down pat by scrolling through our slideshow!

1. Liz Lemon - 30 Rock

If you looked at the cover photo of our slideshow, you know eating McDonald's sundaes isn't the only sin Liz Lemon commited while on the treadmill. She also consumed wine. Other uses for the treadmill? Zipping up a zipper she couldn't reach on her back. The woman was a genius. I just wouldn't her to represent me in a marathon.

2. Doug Heffernan - King of Queens

Doug heffernan king of queens
What's the problem with exercising in the bedroom? You're looking at it! That bed looks a little too inviting for Doug, so after a few arm stretches, he finds an excuse and just crawls back in.

3. Amy Schumer - Inside Amy Schumer

Amy schumer inside amy schumer
One of Amy's many characters would just prefer to do nothing rather than running or walking on the elliptical machine. Me too, sister, me too! That's not earning either of us a place on the Justice League.

4. Dean Winchester - Supernatural

Dean winchester supernatural
Dean is all over the game of Dodgeball. You know why? He gets to be the dick coach. If he didn't, do you really think he'd want to play? Yeah, me neither. He may slay demons, but I bet he's more of a whiner when it comes to being on the receiving end of a ball to the gut.

5. Cam Tucker - Modern Family

Cam isn't into exercise. The gif of him on a strider in front of the Christmas tree was too small, but this will do. I love how Mitchell tells him to watch his hands so he looks more manly.

6. Edina Monsoon - Absolutely Fabulous

Edina is probably putting forth a lot of effort in her attempt to exercise here. She even has on ugly stretchy pants (with a blouse and long necklace, mind you). For Edina, trying to exert herself IS a stretch.

New Girl Season 5 Episode 10 Review: Goosebumps Walkaway

Welcome back Jess!

For being a 100th episode New Girl Season 5 Episode 10 was extremely lackluster.

Maybe I've been spoiled by other shows reaching such a milestone and making their episodes memorable, but New Girl fell extremely flat.

Moving Out - New Girl

It was nice having Jess back in the mix. I figured she would take an instant liking to Reagan, but her antics were predictable. Who else knew she'd fall for a fellow juror? It also wasn't a huge surprise she and said juror would have nothing in common and the relationship would end before it even started.

The only interesting thing to come out of Jess and relationships was the inkling of feelings she might still have for Nick. It was odd the way she was talking about falling for Nick at such weird times with Reagan. Could they be setting up an eventual love triangle between her, Nick and Reagan? 

Speaking of Reagan, I knew she would eventually develop feelings for Nick. I just wish they would have found a way to keep her around longer so the relationship could develop more. I'm still not entirely sure their relationship will last, but Nick does deserve someone to make him happy.

I did appreciate the sweet gesture Reagan made by wearing the shirt Jess got her. No matter what happens, I really hope Reagan continues to stay friends with the loft mates.

Of course, the best moments of the night belonged to, no surprise, Winston. Winston has just been on fire this season. Taking part in a dance gathering didn't surprise me in the least. Winston always has a way of getting involved in some interesting activities. 

I couldn't help but laugh at Winston and Cece trying to get Schmidt to just let go and let the music take hold. The whole flashback to Schmidt being bullied at the talent show was entirely too much. Schmidt's past certainly explains why he is the way he is. 

I'm also really loving this more relaxed side of Cece. Even though she does have some insecurities, she seems to be letting loose a lot more. The whole dynamic between her and Schmidt has been a lot of fun to watch as well. Can we just focus on Winston, Schmidt and Cece for the rest of the season? 

In the end, Schmidt let go of his need for perfectly choreographed dancing and just let everything go. It was a great reminder of why these people are friends. 

Now it's your turn! Do you think Nick and Jess has a possibility of getting back together? Or do you think Nick and Reagan should give it a shot?

Happy 100th Birthday New Girl!

Just in time for the big event, Jess is back. And that means saying goodbye to Reagan on New Girl Season 5 Episode 10.

Was there any chance Reagan and Jess might part as friends?

Um...no. But Reagan did give Jess a nice parting gift, and it's even wearable.

Reagan might be gone from the loft, but she won't be gone from our hearts.

At least she won't be gone from Nick's heart, because they'll be carrying on a long-distance relationship.

Did you see that one coming? Do you think it can last?

Winston made us smile as he always does, and to find out why, you have to watch New Girl online today!

New Girl Season 5 Episode 11 Review: The Apartment

What a difference a week can make!

New Girl has been on shaky ground this season, but there was something for everyone on New Girl Season 5 Episode 11.

I found myself actually laughing at the situations everyone got themselves in instead of at the characters themselves. It was a refreshing change of pace. 

Let's get right down to it and discuss "The Apartment."

We've all been where Jess has been, right? I have to give her credit for not being overly nice when it came to Becky and instead taking out her frustrations. It was hilarious seeing her yelling about her hatred for Becky while the guys watched.

I wasn't entirely surprised to see the new principal using Jess. She's always been the easy target when it comes to bullies, and Becky was a bully. At least Jess found some time to help Cece out with her predicament, but I knew the budget work would come back to bite her.

Speaking of Cece, was anyone else confused she still had her apartment? I felt like maybe I missed something, but I just figured she was living at the loft. Cece not having her apartment packed wasn't a huge stretch for her – she seems to be the most unorganized person alive. 

I could certainly get behind Cece's idea of getting drunk and everything magically happening. A girl has to have dreams in life. While Cece's indecisiveness was grating on my last nerves, I was grateful Jess decided to throw her out to get the job done herself. 

I understood where Cece was coming from about all the changes. It seems like everything is happening so quickly. It was nice seeing Cece and Jess having best friend time and Cece opening up about her feelings. I just hope they don't continue with Cece being out of it because it will get old quickly. 

My favorite moment had to be Nick's nonchalance at having a regular flasher at the bar. It only got better when Nick was talking about the many times he had been flashed. He really should look into writing a book about the various odd things that have happened to him because he'd easily make a fortune. 

Of course Nick's odd situation introduced us to Winston's new partner, Dunston, who was an exaggerated version of Winston. I'm still not entirely sure how Dunston, or Winston for that matter, were able to graduate from the academy. 

Thank goodness Winston took his friend's advice and asked to be Aly's partner again. I was really hoping Winston would have been honest with her about his feelings.

I'm still holding out hope they'll get together eventually because they would be a great couple. Can't Winston find some happiness (without his cats) for once?

In the end, Jess finally stood up for herself and quit her job. I'm incredibly pleased she found confidence in herself, and I hope it continues. I imagine this decision will hit her, in a bad way, in the coming weeks.

Now it's your turn! Do you think Nick should should write his memoirs? Are you ready for Cece to finally accept the changes going on?
