Cheers & Jeers

Cheers to The Flash for getting the girl.
To quote Cisco, “it only took us two years but we finally got one … a lady speedster!” With the introduction of DC Comics’ fleet-foot Trajectory (Allison Paige), the superhero series gave Barry (Grant Gustin) an equally fast foil of the female variety who was long overdue, but sadly not long for this world.

Cheers to Younger for growing up so nicely.
No longer just a “40something poses as a millennial” romp, the just-ended second season tackled weightier issues (death, divorce, self-worth) with a bubbling cocktail of humor and heart as effervescent as star Sutton Foster. Thank you, TVLand, for renewing this gem.

Jeers to Heartbeat for getting off on the wrong feet.
Forget the prescription-strength clichés that plague this Grey’s Anatomy wannabe. It was the scene in the pilot where Melissa George’s rebellious but brilliant heart-transplant surgeon walked into a patient’s ICU room without shoes on that got us sick. Did this woman never hear of MRSA?!

Jeers to Mischa Barton’s Dancing with the Stars doldrums
Looking like she was forced to be there at gunpoint, The O.C. alum sleepwalked through her routine with partner Artem Chigvintsev during DWTS’ season premiere, despite claims of being a natural dancer. It may take two to tango, but it only took one look at Barton to realize that her Dancing days are as doomed as Marissa Cooper was.
